[JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 update
Hi Group, I would like to know if the new update for JAWS 16 is causing any issues using the high quality voice of Tom. I thought I read on this list that some people were having issues with some voices not working properly. Also if there is any other issue with the last update of JAWS? Thanks in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 update!
Do you use Tom as the primary voice and do you have it smoothed out so it is not choppy? I have tried several times to use Tom as my primary voice but I just can't get the voice smoothed out so it is not choppy. I do like the voice very much but I continue to use eloquence. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Bob Edenhofer Sent: Monday, April 27, 2015 3:57 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 update!

Re: [JAWS-Users] dropbox 3.4.3
I successfully installed the speak dropbox program. However, when I launched it from the system tray to give it a look see once I exited from the program I can no longer locate it in the system tray. I thought using jaws key 11 would solve the problem since sometimes more items show there but no go. Is there something I can configure to fix the issue. I am glad I downloaded the program instead of just running it so if push comes to shove so to speak I'll be able to reinstall it.

[JAWS-Users] NEW COMPUTER, WINDOWS 8.1 MUCH BETTER THAN WINDOWS 7
Hi, I read you want to get a new computer with your sighted husband. Windows 8.1 is great, because there are more keyboard commands and you can have your computer start up on the desktop. With Windows 8.1, you get to use the start screen with all of the apps tiles on it. Here's the thing. When you press the windows key, even though you are on a app screen instead of the start menu, you can just start typing your search just like you do in Windows 7. Also, the control panel has a search box as well. I love this! With Windows 8.1, the files explorer is much better than Windows explorer in Windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] NEW COMPUTER, WINDOWS 8.1 MUCH BETTER THAN WINDOWS 7
Hi. You are sure to like windows 10 then, as it keeps the same layout as windows 8.1, but brings some of the stuff only about half way back to the old windows 7 way of doing things. The windows x stuff is still there, and there are even more keystrokes if I'm not mistaken than in windows 8.1. Windows explorer scared me for a while because they have implemented a new home folder that windows+e lands you on. This folder is nice, because you can put shortcuts to what ever you want easy access to in there, including your hard drive and what ever else. Neat, but I do prefer the this pc folder, so the folder options dialogue now includes a choice as to which you would like your default windows explorer location to be. I put mine back to this pc and it works just fine. I believe you'll be pleased enough when the time comes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dropbox 3.4.3
Hi. It could be that you accidentally closed the program by the way you exited the speakDropbox menu. You can re launch it from the short cut in your start menu (it's just called speakDropbox). Other than that, my recommendation is that you do away with the notification chevron thing entirely, do that by setting it to always show all notifications in the notification area. You can find how to get to the notification area customizations that you need for that in another message that someone posted to this thread. To summarize, one of two things happened. 1. You closed speakDropbox 2. your computer decided to hide the speakDropbox icon. Btw, if you need to verify if it just got closed, try to get it to speak the dropbox status using the speak dropbox status hotkey (alt+windows+d by default). Alt+windows+m will open the speakDropbox menu (if it can find it), but if that icon is hidden from you, speakDropbox won't be able to find its own icon either. I probably should mention all this in the troubleshooting section of the documentation, I actually don't know why I didn't.

I added my email all over, and now it shows a tcsnelling1@comcast.. And the old one is still sitting at the top of my screen. I ran a repair on the entire outlook system as well.. any ideas, will I need to remove the program entirely and reload?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and vipre antivirus 2014!
Hi Kevin, Here's another little tip I do with another folder I need to access in the All Users folder. With all folders system folders unhidden / showing: 1. Highlight the, All Users, jfolder but, don't open it, just highlight it. 2. Open the context menu with the application key or the, Shift + F10, keystroke. 3. Navigate to the, Send To submenu, press enter or right arrow to open. If you press the letter, N, after opening the context menu it will put you into the Send To submenu. 4. Arrow down to, Desktop Create Shortcut, press enter. This will put a shortcut for the All Users folder on your desktop. 5. After you hide all your folders system folders, you can copy the desktop All Users shortcut paste it into your Users folder in the root of the C drive. If you don't want the All Users shortcut on the desktop, cut it instad of copying it paste it in the Users folder, startmenu or, pin it to the taskbar. The point being, with this shortcut you can now always access the All Users folder without going through the hassle of unhiding all the folders system folders. Note: When you create the shorcut it reads, All Users - shortcut, you can rename it by highlighting the shortcut, press the, F2 key, rename the shortcut, press enter to save the changed name. Personally, I always delete the spaces, the dash, the word shortcut off the end press enter. HTH Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dropbox 3.4.3
Hi Leonard, Below are various steps for customizing the Taskbar so items will show in the System Tray: From: CrisM To get the icons to show up in the system tray, go to your desktop, tab down three times till you land on Notifications or something, then press the applications key and press enter on the customize notifications icon option. From there, you'll be able to move and and select which icons you want to appear in the system tray. I had this same issue and someone on here suggested this solution to me and it worked. Cris From: Rick Justice Open the start menu, and type the following in the search box: notification In the results, you should find, notification area icons, make sure that this is selected, and press enter. When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so just tab until you get into the list of applications. Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon. When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button, and press enter to close the dialogue. HTH, Rick Justice From: Brian Lee You might have figured it out already, but if not, here is what you can do in Windows 7. After setting JAWS to start in the system tray, move to the notification area using Windows key + B. Find the Notification Chevron button and press spacebar on it. Use up arrow key to the Customize choice and press enter key. If focus moves away from the notification area while using up or down arrow key, move back to it using Windows key + B, and if necessary use the chevron button again. After using the Customize button, use tab key several times until you find Application file for JAWS. As you tab across the window, you will find combo boxes for various programs. Each combo box has three choices. In the combo box for the application file for JAWS, use the up arrow key until the choice for showing JAWS in the notification area is in focus. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. The JAWS icon should now be in the notification area. Take care. Brian Lee Take care.

Hi. The key stroke you are looking for is insert + f4. You'll get a prompt do you really want to shut down jaws, press enter. To start jaws again (you can do this without narrator running even), press windows key +r to open your run dialogue. If doing this with no speech wait a few seconds to give it time to open, then type, jaws16 (replace 16 with your version number, and don't forget that there is no space between jaws and the number) and then press enter.

It appears the latest version of Dropbox v3.4.3 has changed. Now, when I hit enter on dropbox from the system tray I get a context menu where the first item is open. When I enter on open sometimes I get the list of folders and other times I get what appears to me as a splash screen but not the folders. However, it's never consistent. If I hit the alt key I'll get the system menu for move minimize and at other times I'll get the folders. Is there a fix?
