Re: [JAWS-Users] Stopping audio playback on web pages

I heard you can do this with windows 10 using audio ducking. However this is not available in windows seven. Since I'm still using Windows 7 what I do is copy the whole page and pasted in notepad and then read the page from there. This Iphone message was sent using the dictation feature. I

I meant to mention that I'm using the latest version of JAWS 18 on a fairly new Windows 10 computer. This seems to happen mostly when I arrow fairly quickly. If I arrow slowly, it works better. Thanks, Jeff On 4/28/2017 6:07 PM, Audiobookfan wrote: I'm experiencing a problem with JAWS that's

Hi Adrian and all. I apologize for the repeated post. I'm not sure what happened the first time but I received a delivery status email and also a copy of my own post, so I wasn't sure if it got through the first time. I agree that, normally, a dictionary would be sufficient for looking up

Michele, I didn't mean to sound as though I was complaining about your two posts. I was just acknowledging that no one had replied to the first, so I thought I'd take a stab at your second. I get what you say about the "ar" contraction in the braille for "bear" resembling a braille "t" and

I'm experiencing a problem with JAWS that's rather annoying. As I arrow around in an edit field, JAWS sometimes reads the character or line it just moved off of rather than the character/line that is selected. This doesn't happen with every arrow movement, but often enough to be annoying. Is

Kevin, I have an answer for you, but let me first suggest that when posting a long query in the future, maybe put the question at the beginning. Normally I would have stopped reading this post because (1) I know how to repair JAWS and (2) I recently received other repair instructions from FS

Jeff, Does this happen in all edit fields, only in those associated with a specific application, or what? A basic suggestion would be to ensure the window is maximized. The universal way to maximize a window is to press alt and the spacebar together, release, then press the letter x.

Hi, I was able to reproduce this on version 1703. This is partly because it takes quite a long time for the window to be populated with all known file types registered with Windows. Cheers, Joseph -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On
