I am eligible for an upgrade and there's a link that says pay for upgrade 
and SMA online.  But clicking on the link there's no place to pay.  It 
just shows the list of available products and their prices.  I have Jaws 
home edition but I don't see an option to get this at my reduced rate 
instead of the $900 price.  Can someone help?

I think it is insert (Jaws key) and page-down together; that should read the

Hey everyone.

I'm looking at finally building a website. Just wondering what tools
everyone out there uses? I had some success with EZHTML in the past, I
think, but that's a really old programme and I never did put most of that
stuff up on the web. My girlfriend has a licensed copy of Ewisoft Website

little I've examined, but has anyone worked with it before? Just looking for
a few tips to really get started.

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Joanne,

Although I'm not from the US, keep in mind that JAWS 2018 is still a beta 
version, so Freedom Scientific states that, even when the final release will be 
an SMA agreement, the beta version can be run with anyone having a valid JAWS 
18 license. SMA upgrading to allow authorizing JAWS 2018 should be available 
when the final version of JAWS 2018 is released.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible youtube to mp3 converter

Copy the URL while the YouTube music is playing, then go to

http://www.ytmp3.com

Paste the URL into the edit box and press the convert button.  When 
the conversion is finished, click on download and it should appear in 
your downloads folder.

Hi,
Though not a piece of software the following website will let you
accomplish this:
https://ytmp3.com

Simply find on youtube.com what you want to download, copy the
address, go to the website given above(https://ytmp3.com), and there
is a field on the site to paste the copied address from Youtube into,
and then hit the button to convert to mp3.  Once this is done,  simply
download the mp3 file by selecting download.  I use the site all the
time, works great.Good luck.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible youtube to mp3 converter

[Steve]

Morn,
Free Youtube to MP3 converter.

When you open it, go to the Tools menu with Alt-T, then select the options 
menu.


Right arrow to the Advanced tab.

About the third checkbox in is "enable compatibility with screen-readers." 
Check that, obviously.


You will probably want to avail yourself of the other tabs there so you can 
set the folder where you want to save your downloads.


Downloading Procedure:

Find the URL on youtube of the file you want to download.

Press control-L followed by control-C to copy that address to your 
clipboard.


Switch to the free youtube-to-mp3 converter on your computer.

Tab to the paste button and press enter.

Either before that or prior to hitting the "download" button, tab to the two 
comboboxes and make sure you have the desired options selected.  The 
combobox immediately to the left of the paste button has the different 
formats you can convert to; one of which is mp3, but there are others if you 
even want to use them instead.


The second combobox has different selections depending upon which format you 
choose.  For MP3's, it will have different bit rates and recording quality 
levels; ranging from book quality which is 32K bits up to 320 Kbits per 
second, joint stereo, which they label "insane quality".


Once you hit Paste, in a couple secconds, you can hit the download button.

If you happen to have pasted in the link for a "playlist," there will be a 
dialog where you can check Yes if you want to try to download the whole 
playlist, or No if you just want that particular track.

the hot key doesn't bring it back either when it goes silent. I know I have

You'll achieve much better results by writing the HTML directly in a text

If you don't like editing HTML, you could write in a format such as

I work in Notepad ++ and occasionally Dreamweaver, but DW is a bit of a
challenge.

However to do this, you actually need to learn how to code in HTML and CSS
which isn't hard at all and IMO, much better than using page building
software.

Pages created by these 'page builders' are usually not all that accessible
and are very big files.

Re: [JAWS-Users] downloading and installing languages

[JM Casey]

Hey.
If it says it isn't a proper installer package, you either didn't get the
full download (probably stopped partway through ...different browsers have
different ways of handling that situation), or the file itself is corrupted.
Try downloading again. If it still doesn't work, it's not your problem, but
VFO's.

When you download a voice, you have to choose the synthesiser version and
your language in the combo boxes provided. I assume you knew this and did it
already. Doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong.

And for some reason, when Jaws has gone silent, that key combination never
works for me. All I can say is that after I set the hot key up again, after
I thought it was there and it wasn't, Jaws doesn't disappear as often. But
the hot key doesn't bring it back either when it goes silent. I know I have

[JAWS-Users] downloading and installing languages

[JOHN RIEHL]

Hi. I tried to get Russian and Hebrew voices for JAWS-18 last evening by
going to "get new voices" in the Help Menu. When I pressed enter on the
Hegrew file nothing happened; when I pressed download on a  couple of the
Russian voices one voice downloaded but when I tried to click on the
installer package I got an error message saying this asn't a valid installer
package. 

What am I doing wrong and how can I get these language voices?

Thanks! John

Re: [JAWS-Users] website builders/creation tools ad JAWS?

[Jason White]

You'll achieve much better results by writing the HTML directly in a text
editor than you will with WYSIWYG editors - especially in regard to
accessibility.

If you don't like editing HTML, you could write in a format such as
Markdown, then use Pandoc to convert it to HTML.

I work in Notepad ++ and occasionally Dreamweaver, but DW is a bit of a
challenge.

However to do this, you actually need to learn how to code in HTML and CSS
which isn't hard at all and IMO, much better than using page building
software.

Pages created by these 'page builders' are usually not all that accessible
and are very big files.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Link to download/install JAWS 2018 BETA.

[Mike B.]

Below you'll find the direct download links for the podcast, & Beta 2018.

Eric Damery and Jonathan Mosen describe and demonstrate what's new in JAWS 
2018. Learn about the features and participate in our public beta.

http://podcast.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/episodes/FSCast143-What's_new_in_JAWS_2018.mp3

64 Bit:

http://jaws2018.vfo.digital/170829R25CE7/J2018.1708.29enu-x64.exe

The following features are new to JAWS 2018. For more information and 
complete demonstrations, go to the
FSCast web page
 and listen to episode 143.

JAWS Version Number Change

Beginning with this release, JAWS will now be numbered using the year it 
will be shipping in, rather than an arbitrary number. You can think of it as 
though
this is the 2018 model of JAWS coming out this Fall, just as they do with 
cars. The versions of ZoomText and Fusion that get released following this 
new
JAWS 2018, will also have the same 2018 numbering. This will make it easier 
for users to know which versions go together, and when they were released.

New Microsoft Edge Support

JAWS 2018 introduces support for Edge, the latest web browser from Microsoft 
included in Windows 10. To use JAWS with Edge, you must be running the 
Windows
10 Creators update (version 1703) or later. While there are still several 
JAWS features that are not available in Edge such as selecting and copying 
using
the Virtual Cursor, PlaceMarkers, Smart Navigation, Flexible Web, and 
domain-specific settings, we have made the overall experience of navigating 
pages
in Edge using both speech and braille as similar as possible to working in 
Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox. As we continue to work with Microsoft
to improve the Edge experience, future JAWS updates will include greater 
functionality. This initial Edge support will also be ported back to a JAWS 
18
update.

The Virtual Cursor is used to read pages in Edge just like in other 
browsers. You can use the standard reading commands as well as most of the 
Navigation
Quick Keys to navigate through pages. Currently, there are a few Navigation 
Quick Keys that are not yet supported in Edge, however the most used 
commands;
moving by headings, paragraphs, forms, tables, lists, graphics, and regions, 
are available. More Navigation Quick Keys will be supported in future 
updates.

By default, JAWS uses Semi-auto Forms Mode in Edge, which turns on Forms 
Mode automatically only when you move to a form control using TAB or 
SHIFT+TAB.
Due to the way Edge displays pages, Auto Forms Mode is not available as it 
is possible to have multiple controls on a single line. You will need to 
press
ENTER to turn on Forms Mode if you use the ARROW keys to move to form 
fields.

Other familiar JAWS features that are currently supported include:

list of 4 items
. Displaying a list of links, headings, or form controls by pressing 
INSERT+F7, INSERT+F6, or INSERT+F5.
. Searching for text on the current page by pressing CTRL+F.
. Obtaining font information by pressing INSERT+F.
. The ability for JAWS to detect changes in the language used on a web page 
and automatically switch to the appropriate voice if available.
list end

As you begin using Edge, one important item to note is that Edge is a Modern 
app with no menu bar that can be accessed using the ALT key. To access Edge
specific features, press TAB from the bottom of a page or SHIFT+TAB from the 
top. Continue using TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the various controls
until you cycle back around to the content area. Alternatively, Edge offers 
many of the same shortcut keys found in other browsers such as CTRL+T to 
open
a new tab, CTRL+H for History, CTRL+I for Favorites, CTRL+J for Downloads, 
and so on.

Convenient OCR Adds Support for Freedom Scientific Cameras and Flatbed 
Scanners

The Convenient OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature, which enables 
you to recognize the text of inaccessible PDF documents opened in Adobe 
Reader
or the text of images on the screen, has been expanded to support the 
recognition of image files as well as images captured by Freedom 
Scientific's PEARL®
reading camera or a flatbed scanner. The PEARL is a highly portable document 
camera that allows you to capture and recognize a page within seconds, and
also features an automatic mode that senses motion which causes it to 
capture an image whenever a page is turned.

To recognize text in image files saved as BMP, JPG, JPEG, GIF, TIF, TIFF, 
PNG, PCX, or PDF, press the layered keystrokes INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, F while 
focused
on the specific file in File Explorer. The recognized text will be displayed 
in the results viewer where you can use standard reading commands to review
the text or select and copy it to other applications. Alternatively, press 
the APPLICATIONS key to open the context menu and choose "Recognize File 
with
JAWS," or "Recognize File with ZoomText Fusion" if Fusion is running.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Blocking an email/Outlook 2016 & Jaws 18

[Humberto Rodriguez]

Hello Laura:

Often the email that appears in the From: field is not the one it comes
from, spammers are very crafty in avoiding blockage.  If you want to read
the email headers, do the following:

Press Alt
Press LeftArrow
Press DownArrow
Press Enter
DownArrow to Properties
Press Enter
Tab seven times
Press Control-Home
Press DownArrow and read all the headers.

Each email has all these headers, but they are simply not shown.

Blocking is not easy, but you may try the following:

While on the unopened message:

Press the Applications Key
Press the letter S
DownArrow twice to Create Rule
Press Enter

There you may try sending the email to Deleted Items based on the sending
email address, or on the subject line.  You may shorten the subject line to
try and encompass any variations, but beware of false positives.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Blocking an email/Outlook 2016 & Jaws 18

Hello,

 

I keep receiving a bogus email that I would like to block and have tried to
do so unsuccessfully.  The email I want to block is concerning to me because
of where Jaws says it's coming from, the fact that they continue to arrive
in my inbox, and the fact that I cannot block this sender.

 

I highlighted the email I wanted to block, pressed the applications key, and
went to junk.  When I pressed enter on "block this sender" Jaws asked me if
I wanted to do this but it was a different email than what I had highlighted
and the email Jaws was asking me to block was not even in the list to be
highlighted.  The only choice it gave me was to click "okay"; there was not
a choice to cancel.  Since I did not want to block the email Jaws was
suggesting I tried to get out of this; I tried pressing escape, control + y,
and alt + f4 without success.  I had to go to task manager to shut down
Outlook for this to go away and allow me to access my email accounts.  The
email I want to block is still there.

 

How do I block this sender? .. Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Hi All,

 

I just cleaned out all my trash, and realized I lost the email that had the
link to JAWS 2018.  Can someone please send that?  The current emails on
that subject no longer have the earlier thread, and I cannot remember my
password that would get me into the complete thread.  Thanks!

Subject: [win10] Critical advisory: do NOT update to Fall Creators Update if
you plan to use JAWS 2018 with Edge due to performance problems #ADVISORY
#JAWS #WinTenDev

 

Hi everyone,

 

The below advisory is rated "critical" as it will affect ALL JAWS 2018 users
who plans to use Microsoft Edge in Fall Creators Update. Thus, I recommend
folks to forward this to other forums, mailing lists and what not, as well
as raise a red flag with MS and VFO:

 

CRITICAL ADVISORY: major performance issues found when using JAWS 2018 with
Edge under Fall creators Update builds, with one report stating JAWS and/or
Edge crashes:

 

JAWS 2018 adds support for Microsoft Edge, the browser that ships as part of
Windows 10. Support for Microsoft Edge, especially the new EdgeHTML
rendering engine, is crucial when it comes to supporting certain universal
apps, as they will use the rendering engine used by Edge to display web
content. However, some users have reported performance problems when trying
to use JAWS 2018 with Edge under Fall Creators Update preview builds,
ranging from delay in feedback to at least one report of JAWS and/or Edge
crashing, with performance issues confirmed in subsequent testing. Although
these are possible due to beta status of JAWS 2018, part of this is due to
changes to Edge code introduced in several Windows Insider Preview builds
for the upcoming feature update to Windows 10.

 

Reason for rating this advisory "critical":

 

*   Windows 10 is a service, therefore feature updates are sent to users
and organizations on a semi-annual basis. The latest stable build (Version
1703) will be replaced by upcoming Fall Creators Update (Version 1709) in a
few weeks, and soon or later, most users will be asked to update to the new
version. Although enterprises can delay the upgrade for a time, they will be
asked to upgrade to a future release at one point or another. For those
running Windows 10 Home, you CANNOT defer updates.
*   The time to deploy Fall Creators Update can range from several weeks
to several months. This means that, unless users tell Windows 10 to defer
updates, they'll be updated to the new release. If told to defer updates,
Windows 10 will present the new release by early next year.
*   The delay period (between the day Fall Creators Update is released
and January 2018) is a period of bug fixing, and if MS and/or VFO misses
this, people will face issues with Edge in the upcoming release after
upgrades, further compounding the problem. Thus, it is critical that a fix
(both short-term and long-term) is in place before end of 2017 to allow
people to test this for a few weeks before Fall Creators Update comes to
everyone.

 

Recommended actions:

 

1.  Raise a red flag (feedback) with Microsoft and VFO to make sure this
is addressed as soon as possible.
2.  Avoid upgrading to Fall Creators Update until issues with JAWS and
Edge are ironed out to an extent that users can use Edge for basic tasks.
3.  Optionally, if you absolutely need to use Edge and/or universal apps
that display web content via Edge's rendering engine, use other screen
readers known to support Edge (such as Narrator).
4.  If you need to use a web browser for any task, do NOT use Edge until
major problems are resolved.

 

Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

The fscast stated that the beta of 2018 should be available about the time
of the podcast.  I have been unable to find the beta file to download.  Does
anyone have any idea where I can find this download?

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder

[Moderator]

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list.
This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the 
JAWS for Windows screen reader Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all
know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain 
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list 
know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure
help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a 
software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is 
perfectly
fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take it up 
with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences, 
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make 
another
message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the bandwidth 
required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a person who
wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous messages, as they 
have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also please place your 
message
above your signature line so as not to force people to read it before they 
get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not 
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 700 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account.
Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the 
directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a 
number
of such messages then the server will remove your email address 
automatically.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right.

Posting to a single address IE this list is the preferred acceptable 
practice as we do not allow cross posting. That is simply posting to more 
than one
list or address in the same message. You can post the same message to 
multiple list, but not at the same time.

Now to the matter of replying to a posted message:

The proper practice is to simply hit the reply command in your respective 
email client, IE control + R is used quite often in many programs. Replying 
to
all, for example control + shift + R in Windows Live Mail will only serve to 
get your message flagged by the server for having too many recipients.

Then at that point your message gets held for one of us to accept or
