A delayed response, but I've finally tested the inline frames suggestion and it makes a huge improvement. From what I can tell, by turning inline frames off, I lose only advertising. I don't know if it would be true across all websites, or if the "off" setting would risk losing substantive material.
I find nothing in quick settings for bitmaps. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jimmy Jones via Jfw Sent: Monday, July 27, 2015 9:38 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Cc: Jimmy Jones Subject: RE: Navigating the New York Times It has been a long time since I looked at the times. Does turning off inline frames and bitmaps still help in the elimination of things you don't want to hear? I must confess that I have not used flexible web very much. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt via Jfw Sent: Friday, July 24, 2015 1:33 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Adrian Spratt Subject: RE: Navigating the New York Times Yes, I use all these techniques except for flexible web partly because the NYT's webpages change from time to time and partly because the method is just too cumbersome if used across the many websites I visit. In addition to the minor annoyance of skipping links, etc., with n and other quick navigation keys, the NYT format alters as I progress down each page. Eventually lines break up, and I need to refresh. When I refresh, I often find my focus has shifted elsewhere. I avoid "say all" on the NYT website because I don't like to sit here as JAWS plows through ads, promotions of other articles, photo captions, etc. Navigation just shouldn't be this complicated. It's too distracting, as well as time-consuming. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Douglas C.

However, I have just gotten used to using my navigation keys to quickly get around articles. I generally use the 1 key to skip to the first level heading (usually the main article title), then use the n (next) key a couple of times to skipp past the various option info. This will generally get me close to the main text. I then use Say All or the read paragraph keys to go through the article. I also have set up flexible web to delete as many of the advertisements as I can. While a little more cumbersome than the old print function I have found I can get by pretty well. I also like to use the H (next heading) key on main pages (such as national news) to skip through the article headings. -- hope some of this helps -- -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt via Jfw Sent: Friday, July 24, 2015 11:01 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Adrian Spratt Subject: Navigating the New York Times Hi. Some time ago, there was a thread about changes to the NY Times website that made navigation difficult and the "print" versions of articles impossible to find. The Times promised me, and presumably others, that they were working on making fixes. The problem has only become worse since then. I'm posting this query to find out if others are experiencing a particular problem. Unlike in the past, there is no "print" link in an article. However, there is a "more" link. After clicking on this link, sighted readers can see a link to "print." I can click on the "more" link, but the "print" link is still elusive. I found it just now, but once I managed to click on it (I had to go into links list), all I got was a printer dialog. Escaping out of the dialog, I found the page was laid out exactly the way the main article page is. So, is anyone doing better at finding and using the "print" versions of NY Times articles? If so, would you explain how? Any other suggestions? (I know about the NFB version, but it lacks the links within articles that can be invaluable.) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
