Hi;
using Jaws 12. tried using these commands
JAWS key plus P will turn on JAWS cursor jaws key plus bracket (to the
right of P) will route JAWS cursor to PC cursor.
JAWS key plus semi colon will turn on the PC cursor and JAWS key plus
apostrophe will route the PC cursor to the JAWS cursor.
but on my samsung they just say the command.
alt delete does say virtual PC cursor . is the same as the Pc cursor? or
jaws cursor command. I am
trying to label unread graphic in the windows live mail program since Jjaws
12
does not announce that.
Windows Live Mail 2011 Guide
A guide for users of the Jaws screen reader, written by David Bailes.
Labeling graphics
In the Message list, information about a message such as whether it is
unread, or if it has any attachments is indicated by small graphics.
Unfortunately, Jaws 12 does not read any of this information, and the only
information which Jaws 13 or later reads is if the message is unread.
To work around this problem, you can manually label the graphics as
described below. This procedure is only recommended if you're a reasonably
experienced Jaws user. If you're a Jaws 14 user and you label some graphics,
and then Jaws 14 is updated to read the corresponding information, then it's
possible that Jaws will then say this information twice. If this occurs then
you can remove the label, as described in the Removing labels section.
Normally, Jaws does not read unlabeled graphics, so the first thing you have
to do before you can label any graphics is to change a Jaws setting so that
Jaws reads all graphics. Some of the details of doing this depend on whether
you're using Jaws 12, or Jaws 13 or later.
If you're using Jaws 12:
Press Insert + V to open the Adjust Jaws dialog.
In the dialog, a tree view is the initial focus. Press the G key till you
get to Graphics - Labeled.
To change the setting, press Spacebar until this reads Graphics - All.
Press Enter to press the default Close button.
Alternatively, if you're using Jaws 13 or later:
Press Insert + V to open the QuickSetting - Windows Live Mail dialog.
In the this dialog, a search edit box is the initial focus. Type the letter
g, and then press down arrow till you get to Graphics - Labeled.
To change the setting, press Spacebar until this reads Graphics - All.
Press Enter once, which clears the search box, and press again to press the
default OK button.
The following is an outline of how to label an unlabeled graphic. After
this, there are a number of sections which contain more details for labeling
specific graphics.
Select a message in the message list.
Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor. The
Jaws cursor is now positioned over the first name of the sender of the email
If you now press Insert Left Arrow once this moves you to the first graphic
to the left of the senders name. doing this jaws says blank and when I use
insert g it tells me there is no graphic present. Pressing Insert + Left
Arrow again moves you to the second graphic to the left if there is one,
etc.
Once you've moved to the graphic you want to label, press Insert + G to open
the Graphics Labeler dialog.
In this dialog, a Label edit box is the initial focus, and if the graphic is
unlabeled it will contain text such as Graphic 160. Type in a label for the
graphic, for example attachment.
If necessary, press Tab to move to the Braille Label edit box, and type a
braille label.
Press Enter to press the default OK button.
You're automatically returned to using the PC cursor
When you're finished labeling graphics, change the Jaws setting back so that
Jaws only reads labelled graphics
The following three sections give further guidance for labeling the unread,
attachment, and collapsed/expanded graphics. The number of each unlabeled
graphic depends on the windows theme that you're using. The following
information includes the numbers for both the default windows theme and the
classic theme, but if you're using a different theme then the numbers of
unlabelled graphics will be different.
Note that as you move to the left through the graphics, the first graphic is
always a graphic then indicates whether the message is unread, or read, or
something similar.
Unread graphic
If you're using Jaws 13 or later, then Jaws reads if a message is unread,
and there is no need to label the unlabeled graphic.
If you're using Jaws 12, then select a message in the message list. To make
sure it's unread, open its context menu and choose mark as unread. If it's
already marked as unread, then that command is unavailable. The unread
graphic should be the first graphic to the left of the first name of the
sender. The number of the unlabeled graphic for the default Windows theme is
656, and for the Windows Classic theme it's 429.

Scott
