Just to add to this, I have the same issue with Jaws 16 through 18 on a Win
7 Ultimate system.

It invariably seems to correlate to the use of IE 11.  It is not duplicatable, 
but it does happen with enough consistency that there's got to be a bug 
somewhere in the program.

When it happens, if I can get Jaws to stumble-and-bumble to the process 
manager, I can close IE and reload Jaws.  Oftentimes, Jaws is so sluggish i.e. 
not quite non-responsive -- that I end up loading System Access to go and close 
IE11 and Jaws.  Then, I can re-load Jaws and its happy.

If I use a competitive screen-reader, I've not encountered these issues.

I thought I remembered a keystroke to be able to see the notices like enable

Re: [JAWS-Users] How does one hover in JAWS?

2017-07-18 Thread Fernando Gregoire
If you're in a web-based e-mail service, it is the same as in a web page. Place 
the JAWS Virtual Cursor into the address line and press CTRL+INSERT+ENTER to 
simulate overring on that line. JAWS will announce you the line in which there 
were changes, if any. To go to that line, press the letter j and, in the Jump 
To Line dialog, enter that number.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.

2017-07-18 Thread Jim Flusche
Hi Rick, thank you for your positive and kind feedback. Just doing what I can 
do to help others. Yes, I personally love W-10. That's why only after using 
W-10 for about three weeks and seeing how well it worked with Jaws, I started 
the W-10 and Jaws group. Almost two years later, I still love W-10! There are 
many members of this list and members on my own group that know way more about 
using computers them me, but I do my best to help them to the best of my 
knowledge. I also want to thank David F, and all of his moderators on this 
list, who helped teach this pinhead how to use a computer with Jaws! So in a 
way, I am giving back to the blind community as well as helping others because 
of the kindness of many people who have helped me over the years! May God bless 
all of us for helping one another learn the computer using Jaws! Thanks. Smiles.

Jim,
What a great step by step. I have a folder with your lessons. It is so good to 
see someone with a clear understanding of Windows. When, in the long ago and 
far away, and teaching WindowEyes I told my students that so much of good use 
of a screen reader relied on knowing what was possible in the operating system 
and having a good group of shortcut keys in your OS between your ears. I was a 
GW guy back in the VocalEyes days and then a WE user and teacher. When WE went 
away, I dreaded the switch. All that dread has mostly vanished. Now if I can 
retrain my head to press the specific JAWS function keys. I will be in good 
shape. Motor memory is a wonderful thing until the task has its key combo 
altered.

Thanks from lots of us,
Rick

Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.
OK, first of all, What Items are pinned to my Taskbar?
Second of all, What are the order of the pinned items on my Taskbar?
Third of all, Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Fourth of all, How do I unpin items from the Taskbar?
Fifth of all, How do I pin items to the Taskbar?
**What Items are pinned to my Taskbar?
After pressing Windows key+T, and pressing the Right arrow key, I will hear the 
following Items.
Task bar Internet Explorer Button
Word 2016 Button
Notepad - 1 running window button menu
Outlook 2016 Button
Control Panel Button
Windows Defender Security Center Button
iTunes Button
JAWS 18 Button
**What are the order of the pinned items on my Taskbar?
1. Internet Explorer
2. Word 2016
3. Notepad
4. Outlook 2016
5. Control Panel
6. Windows Defender Security Center
7. iTunes
8. JAWS 18
**Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Because, depending on the order of the pinned items to the Taskbar, this will 
determine the shortcut key that will start that program on your computer.
*For example:
on my computer pressing the windows key followed by a number on the numbers 
row, will start the following program or open the item pinned to the Taskbar.
Pressing Windows key+1, will open Internet Explorer.
Pressing Windows key+2, will open Word 2016.
Pressing Windows key+3, will open an untitled Notepad file.
Pressing Windows key+4, will open Outlook 2016.
Pressing Windows key+5, will open the control panel.
Pressing Windows key+6, will open Windows Defender Security Center.
Pressing Windows key+7, will open iTunes.
Pressing Windows key+8, will always start Jaws 18.
*Tip, if you have more than one of these windows open.
Pressing their windows key+number, will take you to that program.
*For example:
If you are in the Internet Explorer window, and you wish to go back to your 
open notepad file, just press Windows key+3, on my computer.
If you wish to start a new notepad file, Press Windows+shift+3, this will open 
a blank notepad file.
So as you can see this is a quick and fast way, to start your favorites 
programs on your W-10 computer including Jaws.
**How do I unpin items from the Taskbar?
As you are busy customizing your new W-10 computer, you should clear the pinned 
items off your Taskbar.
This way you can start from scratch, pinning your pinned items to the Taskbar 
in your own order.
*Press Windows key+T, you land on the first item pinned to your Taskbar.
Press the Applications key, up arrow to, unpin from Taskbar, press Enter.
Press Windows key+m or D, go to your desktop.
Press Windows key+T, returns you to the Taskbar, repeat the above directions 
until the Taskbar is empty.
Keep repeating these steps, until all the current items are unpinned from your 
Taskbar.

[JAWS-Users] How does one hover in JAWS?

2017-07-18 Thread Blackwell, Clifford
I'm looking at some instructions and it says to "hover" over an email address 
in order to get a pop up message to appear with various options to select.  
With JAWS 16 or newer how does one accomplish this?  I'm using a Windows 7 
computer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

2017-07-18 Thread Russ Kiehne
I have the following problem with jaws.  When using the jaws say all command 
(insert+down arrow) when reading a webpage or html document, my tripletalk 
stopps speaking after a few seconds.  Here's what Mike from Access Solutions 
said about it.


hi russ, yesterday i decided to test the synth in
jaws 17.0219x?  and there was no problem with the
say all command and no problem with holding the
parameters such as pitch  etc.  but in jaws 18
some how freedom broke it.  so that kind of
proves what i have said that the problem is
freedoms side.  was going to see about rewriting
the speech drivers but when i asked for the
software development kid it was from 2012 and
these drivers are younger than that.  from what i
know freedom is awhere of the problem and is
looking into it.  so whose knows there is suppose
to be a update this month so maybe they will have
it fixed.  lets hope so anyway.  c u m

Hi Miriam, Yes, I have the same problem with Jaws going silent for no known
reason. I am using Jaws 16 on a 64 byt Win7 computer. It doesn't seem to
make any difference as to how long it has been since the last reboot or full
shut-down.

I wish I had something helpful to offer, but, like you, shutting down has
been the only way I've been able to get Jaws back.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this!

Sincerely, Vicky
