[JAWS-Users] Web Site Access Issue With Firefox 49

2016-10-04 Thread Tom Behler 
Hello, everyone.

 

I hope this is not considered off topic, but I'm not sure if the following
issue is related to Firefox or Jaws.

 

Basically, I'm having trouble accessing a web site containing tutorials for
the iPhone.

 

The web site is:

 

www.voiceover-easy.net  

 

When I try to access the web site via Firefox (version 49.0.1), I get the
error message below.  I don't get this message when trying to access the web
site with Internet Explorer 11.

 

I'm wondering if this is a Jaws of Firefox issue, and how to correct the
problem?

 

 

Here's the error message I get when using Firefox:

 

 

Input string was not in a correct format.

 

Server Error in '/' Application.




 

Input string was not in a correct format.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the

Hi. The simplest way is to adjust uppercase pitch. Go to "voice Adjustment" in 
the JAWS Options dialog. You'll need to tab seven or eight times through the 
dialog before reaching the control. I find FS's default too slight to detect, 
so I've raised mine to 50%. Then again, my synthesizer may be different from 
yours. 
Once you've found a good setting, you'll need to navigate character by 
character to hear the pitch change in your passwords, documents, etc.

[JAWS-Users] Latest Jaws 18 Beta Download Links & What's New

2016-10-04 Thread Mike B. 
Hi All,

Below are the direct download links for the latest Jaws 18 Beta version, 
J18.0.1811 (Public Beta 2), & what's new in this update.

Enhancements in JAWS 18.0.1811 (Public Beta 2)

The following is a list of improvements made between the first Public Beta 
and Public Beta 2. Note that while many customer reported enhancements are 
included
in this release, the following is a list of more notable changes.

Lower the Audio from Other Programs While JAWS is Speaking

In Windows 8 and later, you can now specify that the volume of audio from 
other programs be lowered while JAWS is speaking using the Eloquence or 
Vocalizer
Expressive synthesizers as well as any SAPI5 synthesizer. This is commonly 
known as audio ducking. For example, if you are listening to music or 
playing
a video and JAWS begins talking, the volume of the music or video will be 
slightly lowered so you can comfortably hear JAWS and then raised back to 
its
current level when JAWS stops talking.

For JAWS users with a braille display, you can also choose to mute JAWS 
speech (INSERT+SPACEBAR, S) while listening to audio from other programs and 
still
use JAWS with braille output only, without the audio from the other programs 
being reduced.

By default, audio remains at the same volume as JAWS speech. To change this, 
there are two ways. The easiest way is to open the Startup Wizard from the
JAWS Help menu and select the Lower the volume of other programs while JAWS 
is speaking checkbox located on the Speech Settings page.

Alternatively, you can change this option through Settings Center by doing 
the following:

list of 5 items
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings.
3. In the Search edit box, type "volume" without the quotes.
4. Press DOWN ARROW to move to "Lower the volume of other programs while 
JAWS is speaking" in the filtered search results in the tree view.
5. Press SPACEBAR to toggle this option.
list end

More Dynamic Braille Auto Advance Mode

Auto Advance Mode is equivalent to the Say All command for braille readers 
and has been available in JAWS for many years. After performing the 
appropriate
command on your braille display (left and right selector buttons on the 
Focus series displays), the braille display is automatically panned at a 
specific
speed through an entire document, automatically skipping over blank segments 
and blank lines. In prior versions, users could configure how long JAWS 
paused
before automatically panning the display. Once configured, the display would 
pan at the same speed regardless of how much information was on the display,
so most users would set the timer for optimal reading when the display was 
full. However, if the display panned to a short line containing only a few 
words
with the remaining cells being empty, which could occur more frequently with 
larger displays such as those with 40 or 80 cells, this could be 
inconvenient
as the user would have to wait for the display to advance which could cause 
an interruption with reading.

To improve the reading experience when using Auto Advance Mode, JAWS now 
pans faster or slower depending on the length of the current braille line. 
The
display will pan faster for short lines so you can instantly move to the 
next segment without having to wait once you have finished reading, but will 
pan
slower for longer lines up to a maximum length of time which is used when 
the display is full. This maximum value can be configured through Settings 
Center
using the new Auto Advance Maximum Interval option. By default, it is set to 
5000 milliseconds, or five seconds.

For example, if you have an 80 cell display and the current braille line 
takes up the majority of the display, JAWS will pan the display after five 
seconds.
If the display pans to a short line containing only a few words and the 
remaining cells are blank, JAWS will pan the display within a couple 
seconds.

Improved Performance when Using JAWS and ZoomText Together

JAWS 18 introduces greatly improved interoperability with the soon to be 
released ZoomText 11. Users of both these industry leading products will 
experience
more seemless operation when running JAWS 18 and ZoomText 11 together 
regardless of the order in which they are installed as well as which product 
is started
first.

When JAWS 18 and ZoomText 11 are running together, users should note the 
following:

list of 4 items
. JAWS handles all speech functions except for ZoomText's App Reader feature 
and speech directly from ZoomText , such as ZoomText scripts.
. All ZoomText magnification features will continue to work as expected. In 
addition, ZoomText will now visually highlight and track during a JAWS Say
All, or when navigating using the Virtual Cursor.
. If there is a

[JAWS-Users] question re ThinkPad yoga

2016-10-04 Thread Thomas Bryan 
Hi,

 

I have a thinkpad Yoga.  When I purchased it the Yoga  came with windows 8.1
and the insert key didn't work, that is to say the insert key is also the
end key.

 

I can't recall but I found a way to reset the setting so insert was the
default.

 

Some time ago I updated to Windows 10 and all worked well.  However a few
days ago, the anniversary update was installed all worked well I think until
the Yoga did an update including bios.  Now my insert key is no longer the
default.

 

Sure I can switch keyboard settings to laptop but would prefer to use the
desktop keyboard settings.

 

Any advice would be most helpful.

 

Many thanks

Regards

 

Thomas
