Correction, You can edit favorites in Windows Explorer. But that's a whole set 
of other instructions, and it's late. What I described is what I do, just 
because it's easy to remember.

Miriam,

When you create a favorite, you're put in an edit field and can do whatever you 
want with the assigned name. As far as I can tell, you can't edit a favorite's 
name once you've saved it. So what you could do in this case is delete the 
existing favorite whose name you want to change and create it all over again. 
In fact, you don't even need to delete the existing name, but you might get 
confused if you don't.

I have I E 11, Win7, Jaws 18. In I E, my favorites are listed alphabetically,

Has anyone been able to fix error messages that come up in Jaws

wondered if I could try something else before really needing to call.

This level of dictionary helps you find a word on the tip of the tongue or 
confirms a word's commonly understood meaning. For anything more sophisticated, 
you go to the OED, etc.

Introduction to Creating Rule Sets
for JAWS Research It Queries


Introduction


Research It is a query tool first introduced in JAWS 11 which makes it fast
and simple to look up information using a predefined set of lookup modules. 
Thus, for example, one might wish quickly to look up the definition for a
word encountered while reading an article without taking the time and
trouble to visit an Internet website and search for the definition.  Once
the information is found, the user can rapidly return to the primary task
with a single keystroke.  This allows the user to find the needed
information with a minimum amount of time and distraction.  JAWS Research It
can do this and other look up tasks, providing that a rule set has been
created which tells JAWS where and how to find the information requested. 
At present JAWS ships with a number of predefined rule sets, but it is
inevitable that users will want the ability to use Research It to find data
that is not available using those predefined rule sets.



It is the purpose of this document to provide a basic introduction to
creating these rule sets so users with adequate programming background can
learn the basic strategy for creating their own queries.  We will discuss
the two file types that comprise a rule set and describe what types of
information are required in each.  We will then discuss how desired
information is found and extracted from a webpage, provide a very basic
introduction to the programming tools used to find and extract that
information, and give a couple of simple examples to illustrate these
techniques.  However, it is beyond the scope of this article to provide a
comprehensive tutorial on how to program these queries.  We will provide
references to manuals and function libraries that should allow anyone with
moderate to advanced programming knowledge to acquire the necessary tools. 
Such individuals should have little difficulty in expanding the introductory
information presented here and learn how to create more complex queries.

Introduction to Creating Rule Sets
for JAWS Research It Queries


Introduction


Research It is a query tool first introduced in JAWS 11 which makes it fast
and simple to look up information using a predefined set of lookup modules. 
Thus, for example, one might wish quickly to look up the definition for a
word encountered while reading an article without taking the time and
trouble to visit an Internet website and search for the definition.  Once
the information is found, the user can rapidly return to the primary task
with a single keystroke.  This allows the user to find the needed
information with a minimum amount of time and distraction.  JAWS Research It
can do this and other look up tasks, providing that a rule set has been
created which tells JAWS where and how to find the information requested. 
At present JAWS ships with a number of predefined rule sets, but it is
inevitable that users will want the ability to use Research It to find data
that is not available using those predefined rule sets.



It is the purpose of this document to provide a basic introduction to
creating these rule sets so users with adequate programming background can
learn the basic strategy for creating their own queries.  We will discuss
the two file types that comprise a rule set and describe what types of
information are required in each.  We will then discuss how desired
information is found and extracted from a webpage, provide a very basic
introduction to the programming tools used to find and extract that
information, and give a couple of simple examples to illustrate these
techniques.  However, it is beyond the scope of this article to provide a
comprehensive tutorial on how to program these queries.  We will provide
references to manuals and function libraries that should allow anyone with
moderate to advanced programming knowledge to acquire the necessary tools. 
Such individuals should have little difficulty in expanding the introductory
information presented here and learn how to create more complex queries. 
This article will probably not be very useful for that purpose to those with
little or no programming knowledge.



It is assumed that the reader has a solid understanding of how to use JAWS
and at least some familiarity with how to invoke and use a Research It
query.  Those who do not should study the JAWS help system before proceeding
with this article.



Rule Sets


A Research It rule set contains two files:



  a.. Rule File - This file contains the basic information needed to run the
query and allow the user to interface with it in the JAWS Research It
dialog.  It uses the file extension .rul.
  b.. Query File - This file contains the program which accesses an Internet
website, sends any query data to that site, locates the desired data, and
returns it as a JAWS Research It result.  It uses the file extension .qry.


These two files must share a common name followed by one of these
extensions.  For example, a set might contain the files MyQuery.rul and
MyQuery.qry.



The Rule File


The rule file will normally contain three or 4 entries:



  a.. Friendly Name - This is a string which is the title of the query the
user will see in the JAWS Research It dialog.  This is a required entry with
a maximum length of 100 characters.
  b.. Description - This is a more detailed description of the query and is
an optional string with a maximum length of 500 characters.  It can contain
any information which the developer feels will assist the user in using the
query such as what

query such as what the query does and the format for the input data.
  c.. Timeout - This is an integer defining the timeout in milliseconds that
the query will wait to receive a response from the target website.  Any
query using this rule set will be aborted if it exceeds the timeout
specified.  The default timeout is 15000 milliseconds and will be used if no
timeout value is specified.  A longer timeout may be required if the Web
site that is queried is slow, if a large amount of data is returned, or if
the query is complicated.
  d.. Version - This optional entry contains the version information for the
rule set.


An example showing the structure of a typical rule set is shown below:



[Details]

FriendlyName=Area code lookup

Description=Enter a three digit area code to find its location.  Example: If
you type in 416 and choose this lookup, it will report back Toronto,
Ontario, Canada.  Available for the United States and Canada only.

Timeout=15000

Hi Fred,

The note below has fixed this problem for others:
From: Dr. Aleksander Pavkovic
yes, I have experienced this as well, and there is a solution.

Just go to the control panel or “Apps & Features” and uninstall the FSOCR64 
component. Then it might be necessary to restart the system. Afterwards, try 
Setup again, now It should work.



Best regards,

Aleksander

[Michael]

Yes, that is exactly what I mean.  But the words beta release are not spoken
when the Jaws 2018 public beta loads under Windows 10 home pro edition.  I
beg your pardon, but your response makes me wonder if the message was read
carefully.

Windows 7, I hear the announcement followed by the words beta release.  

 

After the installation of Jaws 2018 beta on my laptop computer, it did not
come up automatically.  I had to use Nvda to get me out of the jam.  I got
Jaws to come up talking, but I was asked if I wanted to merge my custom
settings and I answered yes.  I recall another list member answering no to
that prompt.  Could the merging of my custom settings have anything to do
with the slightly different announcement?  

 

Oh, by the way, I reported not being able to use Edge with my bank's website
to VFO, so no need to remind me, smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws public beta speaks a different message after m laptop pc running Windows 7 boots up

[ilovecountrymusic483]

Hi,

What is different about the message?  When Jaws beta comes up talking it
always comes up and says jawshome use addition beta release.  Is this what
you mean.

The subject line says it all, and I hate long subject lines, but what can I
say.  On the day the beta was released, I downloaded it and installed it on
my desktop pc running Windows 10 pro, and on my laptop running Windows 7
home edition.  Both versions are 64 bit, of course.  Anyway, when my Windows

[JAWS-Users] duplicate reading by jaws

[Panagiotis Antonopoulos]

Hi all,

I have a rather strange issue, not greatly disturbing but rather annoying,
and wonder if anyone else had it, or it is a known bug. I usually prefer
working through Braille, using now jaws18 and windows10 creator. Some books
however, I need to read by speech for reason of time. These books are loaded
with footnotes of a multilingual nature. Mr. jaws has a special pleasure in
repeating the preceeding text/paragraph plus footnote twice before
proceeding, apparently feeling I should learn it well, but this is not
necessary. I don't think this is done on my own documents, but really don't
know because it is literature of other scholars I read. I would be
interested if anybody else perceives or knows the reason for this, and
perhaps a cure, if not too tedious.

Greetings
from Greece and all my support for those among us that live in Los Angeles
and seem to endure some big fires, according to what local media reported.\
here.

Takis

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws research it - changing options

[Mike B.]

Hi Michael,

As far as I know you can't change the default search options &, 
amazon.co.uk, is not 1 of the default search option.  To get into the list 
of search options press, Insert / Jaws key + Spacebar, to open Research It, 
then press the letter, R, & tab 1 time into the list of options.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws2018 help needed with customizing new web verbosity settings

[Dennis Long]

When Jaws is on low verbosity it automatically reads what radio button is
checked on a website when you check it.  I want this on medium but can't
figure out what is checked on low verbosity that is making this happen any
help is appreciated.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws2018 help needed with customizing new web
verbosity settings

Hi Dennis,

See if what you need is in this note from what's new:
New Verbosity Options for the Virtual Cursor

When reading content using the Virtual Cursor, JAWS alerts you to the
beginning and end of various elements such as lists, tables, and regions.
With JAWS
support for ARIA continuing to improve and web developers becoming more
aware of accessible design, the amount of extra information provided by the
Virtual Cursor can become overwhelming when you just want to focus on the
page content. To make it easier to determine what is spoken, JAWS now offers
three levels of verbosity for the Virtual Cursor, giving you control over
how much detail you want to hear when reading various web content. The three
levels are:

list of 3 items
. High - JAWS speaks the most information about elements on the page or
inside a document. Everything is announced at this level.
. Medium - This level is configured to provide the best user experience on
most pages and documents and is the default verbosity level.
. Low - JAWS speaks as little structural information as possible about the
elements on a page or inside a document.
list end

To choose a verbosity level, do the following:

list of 5 items
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center.
2. In the Search edit box, type "web verbosity" without the quotes.
3. Press DOWN ARROW to move to "Verbosity Level" in the filtered search
results in the tree view.
4. Press SPACEBAR to choose the level you want.
5. Press ENTER to save your change and close Settings Center.
list end

You can also choose a Virtual Cursor verbosity level to be active for a
specific website. From the website where you want to use a different
verbosity level, press INSERT+V to open Quick Settings, navigate to the
Personalized Web Settings group, and press SPACEBAR on Verbosity Level to
choose the verbosity level you want for the current site.

Each verbosity level is preset to provide the most optimal experience.
However, just like with speech verbosity, each level can be further
customized to give only the information you want to hear. For example, you
may want to continue using the default Medium verbosity level, but you may
want JAWS to announce a couple more elements that are not spoken by default
at this level.

To customize a verbosity level, open Settings Center, expand the
Web/HTML/PDFs group, expand the Reading group, and expand the Configure
Verbosity Levels group. Next, press the SPACEBAR on the verbosity level you
want to customize. A dialog box opens containing a tree view listing the
structural elements that can be announced by the Virtual Cursor. Use the
SPACEBAR to select or clear an element and then choose OK to save your
changes.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!
