Re: [JAWS-Users] How to turn off annoying video that plays on websites

I went to IE tools, options, and advanced and turned off multimedia 
sounds in webpages. However, when I entered on the link below I still 
got the iritating audio. So, what does turning Multimedia sounds really 
suppose to accomplish?

Hi All,

I was attempting to read an interview on the Rolling Stone web site,

Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook 2016

[Jason White]

Which JAWS version are you using? I experienced this problem (and worse) with
JAWS 16 and early releases of 17, but not with IE, as I don't use IE. However,
Adobe Reader (if I switched to another application while using it) and
Microsoft Outlook were definite causes. The bug must have been found and
fixed, as it disappeared after a JAWS 17 update.

The cause of your difficulty may be different, however.

[JAWS-Users] Question on the latest Jaws update.

[Pinky]

HI Everyone,

I am using Jaws 17 latest build and W10 with Outlook 2010. When I type an
email message Jaws start slowing down in announcing my letters and also
start skipping. Then after I keep typing it stop announcing all together. If
I alt+tab to another document Jaws announces fine. Then if I tab back to an
email message that I was typing it does not do anything. If I closed Jaws
and open it again it will start announcing again but after typing for a few
minutes it starts pausing and skipping again then finally stop announcing.
Has anyone else been having this issue with the latest build of Jaws 17.
Just for your info I loaded Jaws 16 and it did the same thing on that email
message I was typing on.  It does not do this on every email I type.

 

Any Ideas?

Ed

I've had issues with Jaws hanging when loading IE11 on my Windows 7 box as

Yes, Kimsan, I have experienced this sluggishness problem as well.  In 
fact,

it sometimes gets to the point where my computer becomes unusable.  It
appears that something is running in the back-ground, conflicting with 
Jaws,

but so far the culprit has not been found.  I'm using a locally-installed
version of Office 365 containing Outlook 2016.

I have contacted Freedom Scientific several times about this issue, and 
they
are at a loss as to what to do to solve it.  The only things they advised 
me
to try were a Jaws type repair (which didn't help), and to eliminate all 
add

ons if possible, which also didn't help.

I also contacted the Microsoft Accessibility hotline, and their only
solution was to defrag my hard drive.  (sigh)

The laptop which has this problem is a Windows 7 laptop, using Jaws
17.0.2007.

That laptop is currently with my University's I T department for some 
other

maintenance work, so when I get it back next week, I will try tackling the
issue again.

I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone else who has experienced

problem.  I did not experience the problem at all with Outlook 2010 in

Thanks for the support.  ... I really do appreciate it.

As I hope everyone on this list knows, I'm typically not a complainer.  But,
when I see something like this issue I'm experiencing with Outlook 2016, and
when I get the "not sure what we can really do about it" reaction from FS
tech support, it raises concerns in my mind about claims that are made about
Jaws compatibility with the involved Microsoft Office products.

I certainly will keep working with FS and anyone else to address the typing
sluggishness issue, and sincerely hope that it will be addressed in future
Jaws updates.

Unfortunately, I do not have NVDA here, although I'm tempted to acquire and
learn how to use it for just these situations.

At the same time, though, I have to be honest.  Given the money we have to
pay FS for the Jaws screen reading software, it does not seem as though we
should be having this problem.

The laptop on which I have office 365 is a business-grade laptop with 16
gigs of RAM, which means there should be plenty of resources to accommodate
Jaws and whatever else needs to run when I'm using Outlook.  As we also
know, Outlook is an extremely popular e-mail client, so when compatibility
with Windows 7 is claimed, I feel it is reasonable to expect that it should
run reasonably well.  I also am troubled by the "not sure if there is
anything we can do about it" response that I seem to have gotten from FS at
least so far.

Still and all, I'll keep trying to troubleshoot the issue when I get the
laptop back from my University's I T department early next week.

I'm sure glad I have this older Windows 7 desktop with office 2010 to use as
a backup!

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook 2016

Yes, Kimsan, I have experienced this sluggishness problem as well.  In fact,
it sometimes gets to the point where my computer becomes unusable.  It
appears that something is running in the back-ground, conflicting with Jaws,
but so far the culprit has not been found.  I'm using a locally-installed
version of Office 365 containing Outlook 2016.

I have contacted Freedom Scientific several times about this issue, and they
are at a loss as to what to do to solve it.  The only things they advised me
to try were a Jaws type repair (which didn't help), and to eliminate all add
ons if possible, which also didn't help.

I also contacted the Microsoft Accessibility hotline, and their only
solution was to defrag my hard drive.  (sigh)

The laptop which has this problem is a Windows 7 laptop, using Jaws
17.0.2007.

That laptop is currently with my University's I T department for some other
maintenance work, so when I get it back next week, I will try tackling the
issue again.

I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone else who has experienced this
problem.  I did not experience the problem at all with Outlook 2010 in
Office 2010.

Hi Cher, 
As Kimber has said the shortcut doesn't work on the view and track your

Try control-T to open a new window. You might want to change your taskbar
settings to show all windows- sounds like yours is set to show only 1

Hi everyone I need some help please.
Using windows 10 and latest build of jaws 17 I have internet explorer on my

clicked to download a file. I click alt n and save my file. I click alt n
and I click view downloads.  I alt tab and click control w to close the
website which I originally visited to download my file.
I minimize the window that shows the download and it's progress.
I brouse through email and I decide to go back to the internet to search for

explorer isn't there, it's replaced by the window that's downloading, how
can I open a new tab in internet explorer? 
I tried to access some sort of file tab to find an option to open a new tab
but no such luck. Any ideas? I hope I've explained my situation properly,
and I hope I haven't confused you guys too much.
Thanks for any help provided in advanced.

[JAWS-Users] No Separate Volume Controls Any More?

[Arnold Schmidt]

This question is prompted by the discussion  of the sounds from web sites that 
can't be turned down.  I have not gotten very far in setting up my new Windows 
10 computer, due to the intervention of my non-computer life.  I have noticed 
that the separate volume controls were there, but didn't seem to be controlling 
things separately, I just figured that I didn't know how to do it yet.  On this 
vista computer, I can open volume mixer and control  separate volume controls 
for internet explorer, jaws, etc.  You mean I can't do that in Windows 10?  
When did that ability go away?  Can sighted users do it, just not those who use 
screen readers?  If I no longer have access to these separate volume controls 
from within the volume mixer, I consider that to be a major leap backward.  
Thanks in advance, I think,for any information.

[JAWS-Users] Windows Mail in Windows 10

[Arnold Schmidt]

I have been told by several people that Windows Mail does not work with jaws in 
Windows 10, but have found a few that says it does.  When I googled something 
like using windows mail in windows 10 with a screen reader, I found directions 
for using it with Narrator.  I would think that if it works with Narrator, it 
would work with Jaws.  Is anybody using it successfully?  Thanks in advance for 
any information.

Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook 2016

Hi Tom, I absolutely agree with you re not aught to be having such issues 
with FS and outlook 2016.
I wish I had it to play around with to see if I could come up with any 
solution, but I'm using the windows live mail client.
And that computer with 16 gb of ram really shouldn't be having any issues 
running a program like outlook.

I hope when you get the laptop back the problem is rectify. Thanks.

Subash:

Unfortunately, I do not have NVDA here, although I'm tempted to acquire and
learn how to use it for just these situations.

At the same time, though, I have to be honest.  Given the money we have to
pay FS for the Jaws screen reading software, it does not seem as though we
should be having this problem.

The laptop on which I have office 365 is a business-grade laptop with 16
gigs of RAM, which means there should be plenty of resources to accommodate
Jaws and whatever else needs to run when I'm using Outlook.  As we also
know, Outlook is an extremely popular e-mail client, so when compatibility
with Windows 7 is claimed, I feel it is reasonable to expect that it should
run reasonably well.  I also am troubled by the "not sure if there is
anything we can do about it" response that I seem to have gotten from FS at
least so far.

Still and all, I'll keep trying to troubleshoot the issue when I get the
laptop back from my University's I T department early next week.

I'm sure glad I have this older Windows 7 desktop with office 2010 to use as
a backup!

Just to satisfy my curiosity. Do either of you have NVDA? If yes, have you
try loading it to see if it would read better?
My reason for asking, sometimes while using I E, with win7 pro with JAWS 15,
it would not say anything, but when I load NVDA it would read. Sometimes
JAWS would start to talk as well...
It's a good thing I have the peview program to turn off one of the
synthesizers so I don't have both NVDA and JAWS trying to talk at the same
time. :lol:

I've been using outlook 2016 for a few weeks now, as I only upgraded to it
because it was free from work, or else I would still be rocking 2013.

Does anyone experience sluggishness with outlook 2016?  I could be replying
to an email and it would hmm, not freeze but lag, as in take for ever for
jaws to notify me I'm in the edit field, and I can't even up or down arrow.
That's just one example.

I also experience jaws not reading text when reviewing my message, as it
takes a couple of seconds to read the line or character. I'm using the
latest build of jaws 17 on windows 10 if that matters.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: help with internet explorer on task bar

[David Bailes]

Hi Zoe,
I'm reposting my previous reply - maybe you missed it.

If the only window or tab which Internet Explorer has open is the Downloads 
window, then if you move to that button on the taskbar and press Shift + Enter, 
a new instance of internet explorer opens. 

For more info about the taskbar buttons on Windows 10, see the taskbar buttons 
section of this guide:

Hi guys, 
when I'm downloading from a website, I usually close the internet page after 
I have chosen view and track your downloads.  I only do this when I no 
longer want to surf the net and I'm just waiting for my download to finish. 
Regardless of my reasons, isn't it strange that I can't open internet 
explorer if the view and track your download page is running?  In windows 7 
I did not have this problem, I could have 10 tabs open including the above 
mentioned window and they were all individual and the shortcut on the desk 
top remained internet explorer and I could access it at any time.  Having 
said that with windows 10 I don't have a shortcut on the desk top, it's 
located in the task bar.  If I have a page open such as google.com I can 
bring that page up from the task bar and hit the shortcut to open a new tab, 
but as I said above that isn't possible with the view and track your 
download page.
