I am a student as well, and use PPT's on a routine basis. You have several options; the best option is to scan it using either Kurzweil or Open Book. If you don't have either of those programs, I suggest you have the school help you obtain one. There are cheaper options, from companies such as Nuance, that will allow you to take a PPT file and turn it into a Word file, say, which you can then read. It will do this, maintaining all the layout and graphical information. I can help with steps in any or all of these solutions, please let me know what options are available to you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free Kindle SoftwarewithAccessibility Features
There is a Firefox add-on called ePub reader that is Accessible with Jaws. I use it all the time to read ePub formatted e-books. I believe too that this works on the mobile browser application as well. So in theory, you could use it to read books on your mobile device. I haven't played with the mobile side of things, but you could always give it a shot. Also, all the Apple I-devices can read e-books with VoiceOver if you want to go that root. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Eric Damery Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 7:29 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free Kindle SoftwarewithAccessibility Features Please, dont assume it works by our design. We have a different view on an application being accessible. The Kindle PC application (menu and dialogs) is accessible with the Screen Reader, the books themselves however, are not. The books (those which the publishers have allowed), are read using Text To Speech provided by Kindle. In the case of other books, the application is still accessible (menu and dialogs), but the books are not at all. The quality of this speech from the Text To Speech they provide and the lack of control leaves much to be desired. We have expressed to Amazon and Kindle, that screen reader users would like to use their screen reader for speech, Braille, and control of navigation.

[JAWS-Users] Further Problems With PPT format and Converting

I know that one of the Powerpoints has fifty - five slides to it and the other has I think 19 slides. I sent the converted documents to my instructor for review, but with it only giving me four pages on both I feel that some information is being left out. The following is the steps in which I did. Steps for converting the PPT to Word doc. alt f, pressed the letter u, pressed the letter h, tabbed twice to a list view, scrolled down to outline format and then tabbed to ok. I tried it both with pressing enter while outline was highlighted and when outline was highlighted I also tried the tab method to ok. Either way it returns a four page result. Am I missing a step to get the full document to convert? As always any help offered is greatly appreciated. Take care P.S. This does seem like the method in which my instructor last semester used.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free KindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features
Here in lies the problem though. Not all electronic books are created equal in the site of the cyber gods. Kindle is a format not necessarily the same as other e-book formats. It is the old Betamax/VHS wars all over again. Same with Audio books. I am discovering that not all of our MP3 reading solutions, Victor Stream, Plextalk, Olympus DM4 so far tested give good access to all of the audio books they all claim to support. I expect the same is true with e-book readers. Is Epub the same format as Kindle? Are all titles available to ePub equivalent to those available to Kindle? Will we, the consumer ever actually get what we want or will we continue to accept and actually purchase what they, the providers insist we should have? And when will we, the blind, have access to the promise of universal accessibility that the printing press now four or more centuries ago gave seeing people who only needed to take the initiative to learn to read. The universality of binary 1s and 0s is being very deliberately subverted with the specific intent to limit who has access to written material. This is not the coincidental barriers of things like Adobe PDF but a deliberate restriction. Kindle will certainly hear from me on the subject but it is a message which requires far broader broadcast. This goes around and around and around. Tape was thought to kill the music industry then the cassette then the Internet. Video home equipment was going to kill the cinema and so Internet sharing and pirating while the movies make more money than ever before. - Original Message - From: CrisMunoz54 crismuno...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 11:04 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free KindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features There is a Firefox add-on called ePub reader that is Accessible with Jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing FreeKindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features
ePub is pretty ubiquitous. You're going to find it with pretty much all the online booksellers. Amazon pushes Kindle hard, but it's definitely not the only e-book format out there. They just try to make it seem as though it is. There are also a bunch of e-book format converters out there free and for a price that can do the job of converting particular formats. With different degrees of success of course. Some more accessible with jaws than others too. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 9:17 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing FreeKindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features Here in lies the problem though.

Not all electronic books are created equal in the site of the cyber gods. Kindle is a format not necessarily the same as other e-book formats. It is the old Betamax/VHS wars all over again. Same with Audio books. I am discovering that not all of our MP3 reading solutions, Victor Stream, Plextalk, Olympus DM4 so far tested give good access to all of the audio books they all claim to support. I expect the same is true with e-book readers. Is Epub the same format as Kindle? Are all titles available to ePub equivalent to those available to Kindle? Will we, the consumer ever actually get what we want or will we continue to accept and actually purchase what they, the providers insist we should have? And when will we, the blind, have access to the promise of universal accessibility that the printing press now four or more centuries ago gave seeing people who only needed to take the initiative to learn to read. The universality of binary 1s and 0s is being very deliberately subverted with the specific intent to limit who has access to written material. This is not the coincidental barriers of things like Adobe PDF but a deliberate restriction. Kindle will certainly hear from me on the subject but it is a message which requires far broader broadcast. This goes around and around and around. Tape was thought to kill the music industry then the cassette then the Internet. Video home equipment was going to kill the cinema and so Internet sharing and pirating while the movies make more money than ever before. - Original Message - From: CrisMunoz54 crismuno...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 11:04 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free KindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features There is a Firefox add-on called ePub reader that is Accessible with Jaws.

We have a different view on an application being accessible. The Kindle PC application (menu and dialogs) is accessible with the Screen Reader, the books themselves however, are not. The books (those which the publishers have allowed), are read using Text To Speech provided by Kindle. In the case of other books, the application is still accessible (menu and dialogs), but the books are not at all. The quality of this speech from the Text To Speech they provide and the lack of control leaves much to be desired. We have expressed to Amazon and Kindle, that screen reader users would like to use their screen reader for speech, Braille, and control of navigation.

Hmmm, You actually need to send the actual word document itself as an attachment. I'm not sure if Outlook 2010 has an automated way to handle those documents. If not, when you copy the body of the word document, i.e. with the document opened, select the entire document with control-a then copy it to your clipboard with control-c, you could then create a new email message and paste the text contents in with control-v. When you do it that way, you are just sending the body of the document either as .html or as .txt, depending on how you have your email client configured to send outgoing messages.

I can't tell you exactly under which tab but it is in the security settings. Enable pop-ups there before you go to the Site to download the application.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Further Problems With PPT format and Converting
Hello Josh, I think what is happening is that there are alot of graphics in your PPT. What the outline does is just put all the text from the ppt into a document. It does not put the graphics there.

I know that one of the Powerpoints has fifty - five slides to it and the other has I think 19 slides. I sent the converted documents to my instructor for review, but with it only giving me four pages on both I feel that some information is being left out. The following is the steps in which I did. Steps for converting the PPT to Word doc. alt f, pressed the letter u, pressed the letter h, tabbed twice to a list view, scrolled down to outline format and then tabbed to ok. I tried it both with pressing enter while outline was highlighted and when outline was highlighted I also tried the tab method to ok. Either way it returns a four page result. Am I missing a step to get the full document to convert? As always any help offered is greatly appreciated. Take care P.S. This does seem like the method in which my instructor last semester used.

If not, when you copy the body of the word document, i.e. with the document opened, select the entire document with control-a then copy it to your clipboard with control-c, you could then create a new email message and paste the text contents in with control-v. When you do it that way, you are just sending the body of the document either as .html or as .txt, depending on how you have your email client configured to send outgoing messages.

Re: [JAWS-Users] squares in a search box

I type in what I want JAWS to search for and press enter. If it finds what I want, I just press escape and the dialog goes away. I can use F3 or shift plus F3 to repeat the search for the same item. I know that the control F is used to search in IE if JAWS isn't running, so I'm wondering if this is just duplication on behalf of JAWS or what? We have enough youth. How about a fountain of smart?

[JAWS-Users] Windows 7 and possible Jaws problem
Hello all, I am running windos 7, 32 byt with the latest version of Jaws. All works well except in the Search Menu. When in the search menu, I type what I am looking for on the PC, all indicates what I am looking for has been found. However, moving down with the arrow key, several items are read and then all goes quiet. Jaws Speech will not start again for up to 10 minutes as if another search is being conducted. On the Screen all search results is being shown.This would indicate that Jaws is not reading what is already there. But, the puzzling thing is, then a message will come up after I do an Alt, Tab, which says, Please wait for the program to respond. Has anyone had this experience? A Computer technician has watched this happen, he can't provide any explanation. If the problem is not Jaws related further checks can be conducted. Regards Trevor.
