[JAWS-Users] mail on windows 10

[Kimsan Song]

I’m writing from the windows mail app on windows 10. With the latest jfw 17 
update, I can now read the emails and respond to them accordingly. Before, when 
wanting to read an email, I had to reply to the email, read it first then back 
to the top and reply to it if desired. The to field however, when typing in 
email addresses do not work, still but I’m sure it will eventually.

[JAWS-Users] Latest J17.0.2417 Direct Download Links + What's New

[Mike B.]

Hi All,

Below are the direct download links for the latest J17.0.2417 build / 
update, & what's new in this release.

32 Bit:

http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/17241708AFGT/J17.0.2417enu-x86.exe

Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.2417 (July 2016)

The following is a list of improvements made between the JAWS 17 June 2016 
release and the July 2016 update.

JAWS
list of 8 items
. We have been working with Microsoft to improve the accessibility of the 
Mail app included in Windows 10. After installing this update, read-only 
messages
you open are now read using the Virtual Cursor, similar to Outlook. 
Additionally, just like in Word or Outlook, JAWS now announces when you turn 
on or
off the bold, italic, and underline attributes in editable messages using 
the CTRL+B, CTRL+I, and CTRL+U commands. While users should notice improved 
performance
with the currently released Mail app, Microsoft has made a number of changes 
as well to improve the experience which will be included in a Windows 10 
update
that will be available in the coming weeks.
. Due to issues with obtaining results from 411.com, the People Search 
Research It lookup source has been updated to use the web site 10digits.us. 
To search,
you now only need to enter the person's first and last name. If you receive 
too many results, you can narrow the search further by typing the person's
first and last name followed by a comma, and then the city and state, or zip 
code. For example, John Smith, Saint Petersburg FL, or John Smith, 33716.
. Addressed an issue where the INSERT+4 keystroke could not be found using 
the JAWS Command Search feature. This command opens a dialog box where you 
can
select from a list of items such as Euro, Yen, Pounds, Trademark, Copyright, 
bullet, plus or minus, etc. and the symbol for that item will be inserted
at the cursor position in the currently open document. If you know of any 
other keystrokes that are missing from the JAWS Command Search, or are not 
easily
found, please provide us with the name of the keystroke and the search terms 
you are using to locate it so we can update the command descriptions with
this information to make them easier to find.
. When entering text in contracted braille using the APH Refreshabraille 
display, addressed a reported issue where contracted words beginning with 
dots
4-5-6 were not being correctly translated.
. This update contains new scripts from Corel to add JAWS support for the X8 
versions of WordPerfect, Quatro Pro, and Presentations.
. Dictionary pronunciation rules have been added so that JAWS now correctly 
speaks the name "Ai Squared".
. Resolved an issue with the Weather Research It lookup source in the German 
version of JAWS not displaying the temperature.
. In response to customer requests, you can now configure braille input when 
the braille language is set to English - United Kingdom.
list end

Microsoft Excel
list of 3 items
. Resolved an issue where JAWS was not reporting background color changes in 
Excel after turning on "Font, color, and attribute changes indication" in
Quick Settings.
. Addressed issues with opening drop-down lists contained in cells.
. Addressed an issue where structured braille stopped working correctly if 
focus moved to a menu and then back to the spreadsheet.
list end

Web Browsers
list of 3 items
. Addressed certain instances where combo boxes on a web page were not being 
shown in the virtual buffer.
. In addition to announcing "has pop up" on aria menu buttons, JAWS now also 
says "has pop up" for any element that includes the aria-haspopup property.
. Resolved an issue where JAWS was not always announcing the change in 
status for toggle buttons in Internet Explorer.
list end

Windows 10
list of 3 items
. Resolved an issue where JAWS support for the Windows 10 Calculator was not 
working as expected.
. Improved JAWS performance in the Windows 10 Open With dialog box, which 
allows you to select the application to use to open the current file.
. The JAWS settings for the Windows 10 Task Manager are now loaded as 
expected.
list end
HTH
Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Latest Jaws Update?

[matthew dyer]

David,


I have found that mail sometimes crashing but can not repreduice relible 
when it happens.  Also, I can not get jfw to speak auto compleate when 
composing a new message.  That is all I have found so far.  Reading 
messages works just fine.

Hi all,
I tried to use the new JAWS update in the win10 mail app, and it does 
not work as well for me as the last version. When I tab around in the 
mail app, I get stuck on one element and JAWS will not move away from 
that element. For example, I select a message, and JAWS gets stuck on 
that one message and I cannot even up and down arrow through the list 
of messages. With the last version of JAWS, I could do that fine and 
pretty much use the Mail app. I don't know what the new update was 
suppose to do in the Mail app, but for me, it made it worse. What has 
been the experience for all of you in the Mail app with JAWS 
17.0.2417? Are you able to use the Mail app with the new update? That 
is the only reason I downloaded and installed the new update.
Let me know about any improvements with this update that you have 
found at all.

I hear the same information on a win10 computer using WLM. I never heard

Re: [JAWS-Users] Latest Jaws Update?

[Jim Pursley]

I download from the JAWS site www.freedomscientific.com.  From the home 
page there is a link JAWS July 2017 update.   If you want to download 
from the site (you get the the entire JAWS program with the adds, not 
just a patch that you would get from clicking on the update links.  Some 
say re-downloading the entire program is a better way to ensure that 
JAWS always remains integrated.  You won't have to redo your 
settings..they remain as you had them.


to download from the Freedom Scientific site

/JAWS/Downloads/JAWS   from the Freedom Scientific home page.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Latest Jaws Update?

Tom,

Here you go.

Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.2417 (July 2016)

The following is a list of improvements made between the JAWS 17 June 2016 
release and the July 2016 update.

JAWS
list of 8 items
. We have been working with Microsoft to improve the accessibility of the 
Mail app included in Windows 10. After installing this update, read-only 
messages
you open are now read using the Virtual Cursor, similar to Outlook. 
Additionally, just like in Word or Outlook, JAWS now announces when you turn 
on or
off the bold, italic, and underline attributes in editable messages using 
the CTRL+B, CTRL+I, and CTRL+U commands. While users should notice improved 
performance
with the currently released Mail app, Microsoft has made a number of changes 
as well to improve the experience which will be included in a Windows 10 
update
that will be available in the coming weeks.
. Due to issues with obtaining results from 411.com, the People Search 
Research It lookup source has been updated to use the web site 10digits.us. 
To search,
you now only need to enter the person's first and last name. If you receive 
too many results, you can narrow the search further by typing the person's
first and last name followed by a comma, and then the city and state, or zip 
code. For example, John Smith, Saint Petersburg FL, or John Smith, 33716.
. Addressed an issue where the INSERT+4 keystroke could not be found using 
the JAWS Command Search feature. This command opens a dialog box where you 
can
select from a list of items such as Euro, Yen, Pounds, Trademark, Copyright, 
bullet, plus or minus, etc. and the symbol for that item will be inserted
at the cursor position in the currently open document. If you know of any 
other keystrokes that are missing from the JAWS Command Search, or are not 
easily
found, please provide us with the name of the keystroke and the search terms 
you are using to locate it so we can update the command descriptions with
this information to make them easier to find.
. When entering text in contracted braille using the APH Refreshabraille 
display, addressed a reported issue where contracted words beginning with 
dots
4-5-6 were not being correctly translated.
. This update contains new scripts from Corel to add JAWS support for the X8 
versions of WordPerfect, Quatro Pro, and Presentations.
. Dictionary pronunciation rules have been added so that JAWS now correctly 
speaks the name "Ai Squared".
. Resolved an issue with the Weather Research It lookup source in the German 
version of JAWS not displaying the temperature.
. In response to customer requests, you can now configure braille input when 
the braille language is set to English - United Kingdom.
list end

Microsoft Excel
list of 3 items
. Resolved an issue where JAWS was not reporting background color changes in 
Excel after turning on "Font, color, and attribute changes indication" in
Quick Settings.
. Addressed issues with opening drop-down lists contained in cells.
. Addressed an issue where structured braille stopped working correctly if 
focus moved to a menu and then back to the spreadsheet.
list end

Web Browsers
list of 3 items
. Addressed certain instances where combo boxes on a web page were not being 
shown in the virtual buffer.
. In addition to announcing "has pop up" on aria menu buttons, JAWS now also 
says "has pop up" for any element that includes the aria-haspopup property.
. Resolved an issue where JAWS was not always announcing the change in 
status for toggle buttons in Internet Explorer.
list end

Windows 10
list of 3 items
. Resolved an issue where JAWS support for the Windows 10 Calculator was not 
working as expected.
. Improved JAWS performance in the Windows 10 Open With dialog box, which 
allows you to select the application to use to open the current file.
. The JAWS settings for the Windows 10 Task Manager are now loaded as 
expected.
list end

[JAWS-Users] Something new in JAWS?

[Maria Campbell]

Yesterday, along with the normal update, there was something else called 
JAWS nontandem, which I did not check for installation, not knowing what 
it was.  What is it?
