Hey. Yes, that nVDA feature is, I think, a part of Windows 10 App Essentials. I haven't played with it. I do use them on my phone (android, not iphone), but always feel it's kind of a silly thing to do. Still, especially when talking with my landlady, sometimes a simple emoji is best, as she just wants to go on and on and on, and I have to indicate I'm listening, somehow. Lol
It is a little odd that JAWS can recognise them but there's no current way to select one to input in your messages and such. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: June 21, 2018 6:15 PM To: jaws user's list Subject: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji I was reading on another JAWS List and someone had used an emoji, if that's the right word. JAWS described it when I was reading with the down-arrow key but not the left and right arrows, so it would seem that there was no colon and closed parenthesis to make a smiling face. Windows 10 can, they say, bring up a list of emoji with Windows key and either the period or the semicolon. But if it does, JAWS can't see them, and neither can I! LOL. I tried recognizing the screen, but got no descriptions. I googled and found that there is an add-on for NVDA that will make these emoji accessible. Not having NVDA installed, I can't check. It would be fun if JAWS had this since we all send stuff to sighted friends. Presumably, everyone can already do this on their iPhones, but alas, no iPhone yet. So, again, it would be great if JAWS would let me play! LOL. Just sayin' Rebecca A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it isn't open.
