Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer

[Kimsan]

I suppose I should listen to the web but since I haven't yet, you
explained left, right up and down so using the touch curser how would you
activate an option after swiping to it.

Just tap the screen once?

Hi,
You can learn a lot about the touch cursor on the FS web site in the free
webinars that were done on Windows 8.1. Navigating apps and using the touch
cursor is really explained well in these webinars. Basically, you turn it on
by pressing Shift+numb pad + or Shift+Caps lock+Semi colon, with the laptop
keyboard layout turned on in the JAWS basic dialog. When it is on, right
arrow is like swiping right with your finger, and the left arrow is like
swiping left. The up and down arrow, is like swiping up or down. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] upgrading to windows 10

[Pinky]

Here is the instructions from the Windows 10 Jaws group run by Jim. If you
want to join this group and download all the audio files and text files that
will help you setup W10 and customize it with Jaws. Click on this link to
join.
windows-10-and-jaws-subscr...@yahoogroups.co.in

Upgrading to Windows 10 with jaws 16 or 17.
go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Support/TechnicalSupport/Windows10Upgrade
Download the tool called utility tool, leave it in your download folder.
Download jaws 16.0.4350 or Jaws 17, leave it in your download folder for
future use.
Download the Microsoft media creation tool at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
On this web page, Go to download link now, Microsoft will determine if you
have a 64 or 32 bit system, they are both built into the tool.
Download the tool and save it to your download folder for future use.
Leave all three of these downloads in your download folder.
Not sure if you have to reserve w-10 now?
Now, if you have not reserved windows 10, please do so.
press enter on the get windows 10 icon in the notification area.
go down the page and fill in your email address ext. this gives you a
verification email.
Now, restart your computer.
check for updates, install any updates, restart to make sure you have all
the latest updates.
Now you are ready to begin the upgrade to windows 10.
Run the jaws utility tool, this will get rid of any jaws fragmented files
and so on from your system.
Tip, after running the F S tool on your w-7 computer, any time you restart
your computer, you will get a message from Jaws saying:.
The mirror drivers are configured incorrectly, press the spacebar on this
message.
In w-10, Jaws does not use the mirror drivers, that is the reason for this
message.
Next, Run the media creation tool.
yes, for your users account warning.
Choose, update this computer now and press enter.
you are now in an ongoing and updating dialog which says:
Windows 10 is being downloaded, continue using your computer.
This could take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your
download speed.
When it is done downloading, it will go through several screens itself
updating your computer and will get it ready for windows 10.
Next, there will be a screen asking you to except the license agreement,
check the yes and press enter on next.
Again, the program will run through several screens by itself.
Next, press enter on install.
now you will have no speech, this install takes 45 to 60 minutes to
complete.
After 1 hour, press the Windows key+enter key to turn on narrator.
Wait for a few minutes if it does not come on right away.
Almost done.
press the next button.
choose express settings.
press the next button.
if done right, in about 10 to 15 minutes, jaws will come on talking on the
desktop in your new w-10 PC.
Now, this is very important, uninstall and reinstall jaws 16 or 17.
This will give you the maximum performance in the w-10 environment.
Tips on how to do this.
Go to programs and features, press enter on Jaws 16 or 17.
Say yes, for your user's account message.
Uninstall Jaws, Keeping shared settings and personal settings.
If the Jaws dialog does not tell you to restart, Turn Narrator on, Windows
key+enter, restart your computer.
Wait the appropriate time for restarting, turn Narrator back on, Windows
key+enter.
Go to your download folder where you have already put the latest Jaws 16 or
17, set up file.
Press enter on the Jaws setup file.
Follow the Jaws prompts, to install Jaws 16 or 17.
After reinstalling jaws, no need for a restart here, jaws will come on
talking with all your settings, except for 2 of them.
Redo your shortcut key, control+ALT+j.
Redo the setting to have jaws come on at the log-on screen.
All your other settings will be remembered by Jaws.
For whatever reason if the media tool fails the first time.
Check for updates, restart, and run the tool again.
In w-8.1, this method usually works the first time.
In w-7, you may have to repeat this method two times.
It is a little more difficult going from w-7, to w-10, then from w-8.1 to
w-10.
There are more drivers which much be updated by Microsoft for your w-7
computer to upgrade to w-10.
After completing your upgrade to w-10, read my text file, called, Windows 10
and Jaws, complete guide TXT.

I can only guess that jaws is reading it from somewhere.  Have you tried to 
set screen echo to none see if it stops reading the equals sign?  If so then 
you need to start to try to identify where it is located.  This can be a 
challenge.  I would start with the task bar.  It is possible that something 
is updating a status but only reading the equal sign.

Just a couple of thoughts.

I use a Surface with the type keyboard. JAWS touch support is a little
wonky. It, for example, is not as responsive or useful as Voiceover touch
is, but it does make some tasks a little quicker to do, e.g. touching the
bottom right of your screen to check the time. I'm actually surprised you
can even find non-touch computers these days.

Another issue I have with JAWS touch support is that, when I rely on it,
I've noticed it crashes apps and programs somewhat frequently. In short,
it's minimally useful for now, but has a ton of potential in the future,
especially if you have something like a Surface.

Hi Tom, yes, the first thing I did was set screen echo to none, and it still 
does it.
I don't think it's the taskbar update, because I have a login screen and while 
it sits there waiting for me to enter a password, it announces =.
Even a system restore didn't work.
I'm stumped.
Thanks.

I can only guess that jaws is reading it from somewhere.  Have you tried to set 
screen echo to none see if it stops reading the equals sign?  If so then you 
need to start to try to identify where it is located.  This can be a challenge. 
 I would start with the task bar.  It is possible that something is updating a 
status but only reading the equal sign.
Just a couple of thoughts.

Hi,
I get much more consistent results if I press windows+B to get into the
notification area. Once you do that, just right arrow to all of the icons in
your notification area and press the applications key on any of them if you
want to do something with that icon. After you are done, press windows+D to
get back to the desktop. The windows+B works so well. It is best if you have
all of your icons showing in the notification area. To do this, Press CTRL
+I to open the settings app and press enter on system and down arrow twice
to notifications and actions. press enter on that and tab to the link that
says choose which icons appear in the system tray and enter on that. Check
the box that says show all. Close settings and press windows+B and all of
your icons will be there and just press right and left arrow to get to them.
By doing this, you do not have to mess around with the JAWS command of
insert+F11 to do anything with the notification area. Jim Flusche taught me
all of this, so give him the credit. I am just repeating what Jim taught me
to do. Thanks and take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer

[Samuel Negron]

I use a Surface with the type keyboard. JAWS touch support is a little wonky. 
It, for example, is not as responsive or useful as Voiceover touch is, but it 
does make some tasks a little quicker to do, e.g. touching the bottom right of 
your screen to check the time. I'm actually surprised you can even find 
non-touch computers these days.

Another issue I have with JAWS touch support is that, when I rely on it, I've 
noticed it crashes apps and programs somewhat frequently. In short, it's 
minimally useful for now, but has a ton of potential in the future, especially 
if you have something like a Surface.

Hi,
That is what I would do. You can use the JAWS touch cursor if you have a 
touch screen or not, so you can navigate the universal apps with the JAWS 
touch cursor right from the keyboard. Good luck on finding your new

Yes David, very irritating.
But in my case, it was working well until about last Sunday. I don't even have 
to be typing anything, as soon as the computer boots, it starts.
Even when I'm using other programs like mediaplayer it keeps on repeating "=".

Yep, I have noticed the same thing with JAWS 15. It usually happens when I am 
either reading some packed, or typing. Certain characters like a lowercase I 
lowercase L and hyphens or underscores will repeat ad nauseeum him until I move 
on to another character. Irritating, and I have no idea what could be causing 
it, except possibly the character are so thin, that John is not treating them 
as a character but more like a cursor.

Hi list, I’m having a strange issue with JAWS, one I’ve never seen before.
I’m using JAWS 15 and windows 7 32 sp1
Since a few days ago, JAWS keeps repeating “=” after every few seconds, and on 
the internet, after entering on each links, it says “flow not found”, but the 
link does work.
I tried the repair option, System restore, scan for malware, virus, I even 
tried JAWS 17 and it still have the same issues.
But with another screen reader, it does not have that problem.
Has anyone ever seen this issue or have any ideas what’s going on.
Thanks

Thanks, I will try the screen echo.

 I would start with the task bar.  It is possible that something is updating a 
status but only reading the equal sign.
Just a couple of thoughts.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer

[Reed Poynter]

Hello,

I am also looking for a new laptop.  I have decided that I don't really
want/need a touch screen, they add a lot of weight and are more expensive.
So, I'm going for a non-touch screen model.

I am in the market for a new computer.  I don't mind Windows 10 but am
wondering whether Jaws 17 latest works well with a touch screen laptop or
should I look for one with a non-touch screen?
Thanks,
Greg Washington
