Hi Jo, After you're authorized, I believe you'll be switched to what you're licensed for, which should be the Home version.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using and sharing your OneDrive
Hello Betty: There is a software called Station Playlist Studio that is mostly accessible out of the box and in addition, there are paid Jaws scriptsfor some additional stuff. It seems to work well and I know many blind people who use it, I also have in the past. I believe their website is www.stationplaylist.com and they also have Station Playlist Creator to automate the generation of playlists. I no longer use either one, haven't for years, because although I run my own radio station I prefer not to use live programs, I ask every presenter to record their shows in MP3, upload it to the server using FTP or SFTP and then use Auto DJ, in my case with Shoutcast 2, but could as easily be done with Icecast, to stream it to the listeners 24/7. I am totally blind and a long-time Jaws user, program for the web and prefer to simplify things as much as possible. There is much more reliability when the radio stream originates at the server instead of being transmitted from your PC to the server and from there to the listeners. It is also a lot more demanding on your time.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Latest JAWS Update
Hi Steven, In the previous update of JAWS, Freedom Scientific added this feature to JAWS. If a FS cast comes out, JAWS lets you know and sometimes starts playing it. However, you can turn this off in settings center. Just open the settings center with insert+6 on the numbers row, and make sure that you press CTRL+SHIFT+D to get to the default. Then, tab to the tree view and arrow almost to the bottom right above the settings you have made. Right there, you will be able to turn this off and you will never have that happen again. Over all, this is the best update to JAWS that we have enjoyed for a long time. No more crashing. Smart navigation works better. Works great in win10. Take care and God bless. -Original Message- From: Hicks Steven (ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITALS NHS TRUST) Sent: Thursday, April 7, 2016 1:45 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Latest JAWS Update Hi friends, Just upgraded to the latest JAWS 17, when I re-booted after a while, a Freedomscientific podcast launched on my machine automatically, this seems strange, has anyone else noticed this or is something very odd going on with my machine?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using and sharing your OneDrive
Hi guys I like music and think of becoming a DJ. My problem is that the well known application used by sighted guys is screen reader inaccessible. I am particularly talking about virtual DJ. Does anyone know of this application and has ever used it with a screen reader? I find it difficult to use with nvda and jaws. Do you know of any application I can use that is doing nearly the same thing as virtual DJ? Come to my rescue.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 17.0.1806, a users opinion
Good afternoon Jaws Users group. Now that I have had a few days to play with the Jaws 17.0.1806 version. 1. I want to thank F S for fixing the problem with the mini crashes and hesitation of Jaws that has plagued the Jaws 17 version since its release. Now Jaws 17 seems very fluid in all programs and situations that I have tested it with in Windows 10. 2. The smart navigation seems to work better for me also in this version of Jaws 17. For example: When using the smart navigation feature in the iTunes store, it works great. Yes, on occasion, when pressing the play or pause button, it will put you at the end of the list of the column you are on. But this is no big deal for me. It does take a little time, to get used to viewing, the iTunes store with smart navigation turned on. 3. I have had as many as 6 or 8 windows opened at the same time, with no issues, from switching from one window or program to another with Jaws. 4. The settings area in w-10, works very well with the new Jaws update, all buttons are read correctly. However, under Update and security, on the windows update line of information, I wish Jaws would read the status of my updates. For example, Your computer is up to date, this is how it used to read but not any more. I hope Freedom Scientific will fix this small issue, in a future release of Jaws, this is very important to the blind user, to know their update status of there w-10 computer. Also, there is a small issue, when copying a link while in Internet Explorer, with the smart navigation turned on. You, need to press the right arrow key twice to actually be at the beginning of the link, then you can press, Control+Shift+right arrow keys to copy the link. I am not sure that this method will work, I used Mike’s instructions to copy links in IE, and they worked for me. Again, I hope F S can fix this small issue in an upcoming version of Jaws 17. Over all I give Freedom Scientific an A+, for this version of Jaws 17. The mini crashes and hesitations of Jaws 17, were driving me crazy! They are finally fixed! Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

You're correct, that notation is listed but I can't find any scripts anywhere for end it all. So either one of two things happened.

Hi The keyword here is "get". When it says get less details, you currently have more details. If it says get more details, you currently have less details. So when you change the setting, you will change to what it says. You could verify this by using the JAWS cursor to see how much text was in the window for each setting.

Before pressing shift-control-f, or control-d (both do the same thing), you need to select the text whose font you want to change. It's easiest when you wish to do this for the entire document: control-a. Otherwise, use the usual selection suspects, such as shift-control-paragraph for a paragraph, etc. Once text is selected, press either shift-control-f or control-d to enter the font dialog. You land right away on a list of fonts. This list is navigable by first letter. Press the first letter or two of the desired font to go right to or close to the one you want. If all you want to do is change the font, just press enter here to exit the document and save your change. If you also want to change font size, keep focus at the desire font, then tab twice. Once again you land in a list. Arrow down to the size you want. Here again, if you want only to save the font and size changes, press enter to exit the dialog and save your changes. Color is a little more complicated, so please post again if you also want to make that change. Line spacing is done in a different dialog, which can also be explained. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Al Sorrentino Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2016 8:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Changing fonts in an existing documents Hi Everyone, I am using Windows 7, Word 2010, and JAWS 13, on a laptop.

[JAWS-Users] mp3gain
Well, mp3gain did a fantastic job. I tried to process a folder when the read only warning popped up. Going through the list of the mp3 files there was only one set to protected mode. Cleared that one and it ran ok. Last evening we took the thumb drive and played through the car radio. The two songs that you could hardly hear were brought up and the one that kind of blew out your ears is much lower.. That one is a tad louder but quite acceptable. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[JAWS-Users] testing end it all
I forgot, Before I installed end it all I created a restore point named prior to end it all If It did not work system restore would be able to clean my computer. I routinely do this before any install of a piece of software. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] end it all appears to work
I have been toying with the new version of image for windows. Just to test I attempted a recovery. I was informed that all other programs must be closed. Trying to close everything I still missed something running in the background. I just installed end it all and ran it. It took out everything including jaws and I was not able to restart jaws. Whenever I unload jaws I have difficulty restarting it. Restarted the computer and ran end it all. Went down through the list of programs and entered the space bar on jaws which protected it. entered the end button. In the task bar only my network and speakers now show. Started image for windows and was able to get to the point where I would select the backup that I wanted to use. I stopped at that point. I am sure that it will all work fine from this point on. This is on my windows 7 machine with the latest jaws. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Delete key question under jaws 17
Hi All, I use an emulation package called attachmate to do programming. Under previous version of jaws (as recent as version 16), when I press the delete key, jaws would read the characters being deleted. With version 17, jaws says "delete" each time the delete key is pressed which is totally useless information. Is there some way to get this functionality back? This problem is sufficiently annoying that it could keep me from using jaws 17 unless I can figure out a solution. Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: [JAWS-Users] end it all
Honestly I do not know. I have been slowly removing items that are no longer supported or of any effectiveness for some time already. Unfortunately for the last several months that has been on the back burner. -Original Message- From: Lenny McHugh Sent: Wednesday, April 6, 2016 11:16 PM To: JFW List Subject: [JAWS-Users] end it all End it all is still posted on the program’s page.
