Re: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox and Webvisum.
While WebVisum is grand, and i use it myself, there are some 'secure' web sites that don't accept the presence of WebVisum or such an add-on and won't reveal their CAPTCHA solution to it. there's also this dynamic CAPTCHA code, which changes every few minutes. webVisum can deal with that ok. the Azavia solution is, to my mind, slow or too slow. - Original Message - From: Dan Rossi d...@andrew.cmu.edu To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:35 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox and Webvisum.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I am trying to learn flexible web.
Hi Grant. When I try to set Flexible Web to start reading where it says search results, I get this message: JAWS The URL for the current page contains an anchor. The anchor is the part of the URL after the path, and it starts with the number symbol (#). Web page authors use anchors to direct the reader's attention to a specific area on a page. When an anchor is part of a URL, JAWS moves the starting position of the virtual PC cursor to the place indicated by the anchor. When this happens, Flexible Web won't be able to start reading based on your customizations. You can still create a customization here because the customization you create can still apply to the current page without the anchor, to the current site, or globally. Just remember that for URL's with anchors, your start-reading rules will not have an effect. OK I don't understand what this means.

Re: [JAWS-Users] finally, a convenient easy captcha reading service for PC users on Internet Explorer browser
Sounds like a service to bookmark just in case! But I can't remember the last time I ever had problems with Webvisum. It's fast, free, high quality and most importantly, automated. I only wish companies like Webvisum would let us download offline versions of the Captcha solver, but I suppose that could lead to possible abuse and I can also totally see that it makes sense to keep us in the Webvisum ecosystem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] finally, a convenient easy captcha reading service for PC users on Internet Explorer browser
It's quite automated, but not 'totally'. You can't do just as many captchas as take your fancy in a short timespan. There is human oversight at least much of the time. It doesn't work well with the Eset Smart Security purchase site, 256-bit encryption, where there is a CAPTCHA, because Eset won't let it. - Original Message - From: Grant Hardy grantha...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:24 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] finally, a convenient easy captcha reading service for PC users on Internet Explorer browser Sounds like a service to bookmark just in case!

Re: [JAWS-Users] finally, a convenient easy captcha reading service for PC users on Internet Explorer browser
You're right, it limits the amount of Captchas you can solve and it doesn't work everywhere. By human oversight do you mean that at certain times humans actually do solve the Captchas? When I said that it was automated, I meant that as far as I knew computers exclusively solved the Captchas.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Installed latest Firefox. Now how do I installWebvisum?
Hi Prateek; I can't help you with your second question since I run a much older version of Firefox but, try the steps below to get Webvisum going for you. Once you have Firefox open, you need to go to the Web Visum website download the Web Visum add-on. To do this do the folowing; 1. Open Firefox press control +L, for a new web page. 2. Type in, webvisum, press control + enter. 3. You will be on the Webvisum home page. Now, arrow down you wil hear Jaws read the following. Heading Level1Download the WebVisum Firefox extension. Current version: 0.9 Once you click on the add on installation link below, Firefox will notify you that it has prevented the add on from being installed and will prompt you to Allow the install to occur. Press ALT+A when you get this message and allow the installation to proceed. Note: you might have to tab 1 time to the, Install button, press enter to install the download. Now that you are ready, Link, install the WebVisum extension. Should you need any help with this procedure, please let us know via the Contact Us page. The installation procedure will be simplified in the near future. 4. When you click on the download link follow the directions that are given, the add-on installs within a few seconds. You need to close Firefox reopen it. After you open Firefox, press alt + T, for Tools, arrow down the list to see if you hear, Webvisum submenu. If Webvisum is there., the webvisum add-on has been installed. If you would like Webvisum to Log-in automatically do the following; 1. Open Firefox press Alt + T, for tools. 2. Arrow down to webvisum submenu press enter. 3. Arrow down 1 time to preferences press enter. 4. You will be on the General page so, now tab through to make your selections. Press the spacebar on okay to save your changes close preferences. When you open the webvisum submenus you can down passed preferences to see what other options are in here. After you open preferences, you can arrow down to see what other options there are, other than General. Hope this helps. Take care.
