Re: [JAWS-Users] Inquiring about Program or Website for Checking Words
Michele, I realize this is your second post of this query. What occurs to me is that a dictionary will automatically give you a list of word that share the same prefix, right? They'll come right after each other in a dictionary's alphabetical order. As for suffixes, I wonder what kind of suffix you have in mind? The "tion" or "ing" ending? If something more restrictive, such as "philia" or "ology," I bet an imaginative Google search would do the job. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Michele Thredgold Sent: Monday, April 24, 2017 7:47 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Inquiring about Program or Website for Checking Words Hi all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS keeps wanting me to authorize it
hi Melissa, Webroot causes lots of problems with assistive technology. their are various people who have posted about it making something wrong with System Access, on the users forum for that product, and it doesn't surprize me that Webroot effects JAWS authorization. everybody who replyed to posts on the subject, say to get rid of it and switch to another antivirus selution. Viber also has problems with assistive technology. I would recommend Windows Defender over Webroot.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS keeps wanting me to authorize it
Just today after a message from Webroot came up for me to get rid of a threat, JAWS would say it needed to be authorized. Now I have gone through the steps several times and more with what I am about to write plus if I would update the authorization JAWS would not allow me to move around the screen but only remain on the Desktop each and every time and would not allow me to read the dialog screens so I had to have sighted help. No matter how many times clicking on OK and updating authorization, either it would not go through and if it did, the same authorization screen would come up. Some times it would say the authorization would fail and other times it would go through just fine. I used the internet option and my authorization code was in each time so that wasn't the problem. I turned off the computer and I also tried resetting it many times but the same messages would come up. If I uninstalled JAWS 18 and reset the computer and used a different version the same message would come up. The only thing I can do that seems to work is not turn JAWS off and not turn the computer off and not reset the computer. I can turn JAWS 18 off and then turn an earlier version on of JAWS on but I can't turn JAWS 18 off and then reset the computer to use an earlier version or even have JAWS 18 uninstalled and then reset the computer to use an earlier version. I'd like to have this resolved as soon as I can. I'd like to turn off the computer when not in use but if I do that even if JAWS 18 is uninstalled the same message will come up like I have said. I'm not sure why I can turn off version 18 and then go to an earlier version and then things will be fine. Any suggestions? I will call and get help if need be but I'd like to see if others had similar problems.

Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open. Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command. The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer. My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down the computer. Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue? Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem?? I did not have this problem prior to updateing to Jaws 18.

It seems that I have narrowed the Jaws crashing issue on my current Windows 7 computer down to the following sequence of events. Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open. Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command. The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer. My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down the computer. Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue? Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem?? I did not have this problem prior to updateing to Jaws 18.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Bible
https://www.onlinebible.net/ Patti, Above is a link to the Online Bible which I have used since DOS days. It is very powerful with around 100 translations in various languages, includes numerous study aids. Most importantly they make a genuine effort to be accessible and are. It works very smoothly with JAWS. I use it in my computer, not sure if they have an App for your phone.

You might try cleaning out your temporary internet files. For some reason, if RS games isn't working, that does the trick for me.
