Narrator reads the lists of emoji. There are several categories, which you can get to by tabbing. JAWS won't read the lists, but it will read the emoji once it's pasted into a message or document. 😊 However, I've tried several times to copy and paste another, but it won't copy. The context key says that copy is disabled and control c won't work as it did before. A bug in Microsoft? Smile. But there are hundreds of emoji in the various categories. Fun to play with if I can get it to work. Sigh. . -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Cristóbal Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2018 9:27 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji
Yes. This new Windows 10 feature still doesn’t' appear to be accessible with Jaws. I've also come across some emojis by accident with the alt plus numpad sequence when I've meant to type something else. Accented vowel, º, ñ for example. ☺ = alt plus #1. ☻ = alt plus #2. ♥ = alt plus #3 and so on. But considering that there are tons and tons of emojis and that you can also select shade of skin color for the more ethno-centric conscious folks, it's still pretty much a no go. I want to say that Leacy or however you spell it has some sort of emoji function if you buy their scripts, but I don't really have a need for leasy products and am not jonesing enough to emoji my heart out to pay for that specific feature with their script package. Especially now that it seems to be built in to Windows 10. I would have to imagine that it'll soon enough be part of the Jaws core function. This of course will probably be touted as some major new Jaws feature eating up one of my SMAs instead of addressing long standing bugs though. You see? A grumpy or angry face emoji would have been perfect at the end of that last sentence... -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2018 5:10 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji From what my sighted friend says, these are pictures--all kinds of things: faces, animals, sports stuff, musical instruments--that pop up on the screen when you press Windows key and either the period or the semicolon. Something to make people smile, I guess, though some of the faces were crying. Many more emoji than on her phone, she said. Shrug. Would be nice to have access as partially sighted JAWS users do. Not complaining.

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.
