Re: [JAWS-Users] Trivia game?

[Scorpio]

The late Jim Kitchen had a trivia game within his set of games.

I don't remember if David had a direct link to his website, but I think his 
game page address was:


http://www.kitchensinc.net/#

But you can get all the games at the following website:

https://www.agarchive.net/pages/devs/kitchensinc.html

Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] Using JFW 18 with a Braille Display for Gmail Calendars

[Mark Smith]

Dear All 

 

First time of posting here.

 

I'm using JFW 18 with a 80 cell Braille display at work, and wonder if
anyone has any hints and tips on accessing a Gmail calendar system in the
work place?  I have MS outlook which is sinked to my Gmail calendar so I can
edit and amend where necessary in outlook, but I need to access other
colleagues Gmail calendars and wonder if I can do this in outlook?  I've
tried several times but just been unable to make any sense of what JAWS is
telling me.

 

Hope someone can please offer any hints and tips.

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Hi, 

Yes, I have to complete a few required webinars every year.  They're through

The only way I can complete them is the same way you did using a coworkers

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dos Box environment?

[Fernando Gregoire]

I don't think FS put effort on this, at least in the short term. While virtual 
machines aren’t only a jeek thing but also widely used in enterprise and server 
scenarios, since in these scenarios virtual machines are required for testing, 
compatibility or security purposes on production tools, audio hardware sharing 
or emulation is not really a priority, so it is normal this is not commercially 
interesting for Freedom Scientific.

Interesting. You'd think FS would put some effort into making their product 
work with virtual machines, especially as I guess most computers nowadays can 
handle them. But maybe it's only "geeks and weirdos" who want to do such things?

I always forget about NVDA; I really haven't played with it enough. That does 
seem like the sensible option, though. I even have a copy of it on my backup 
drive that I could easily install.

In Windows 7 I used Windows XP Mode, which is a free Windows XP image 
pre-activated downloadable from Microsoft to use in Windows Virtual PC, an 
add-in for Windows 7 which is also free. HyperV en Windows 10 is more difficult 
to use with XP in order to get audio, so you can use another alternative like 
VMWare.
Regarding JAWS, in virtual machines I only could install versions 4.2 and 
earlier. 4.51 and latter fails during installation, because virtual machines 
often use generic video drivers and therefore the FS Video Intercept display 
chaining driver cannot be installed. Being aware of this, it is simpler to use 
NVDA on virtual machines.

Trivia Crack is a nice option. It can be played from a web browser and has apps

Hey everyone. I don't normally post requests like this, but hopefully this is 
alright, and JAWS-related enough in the sense that I do want something that 
will, obviously, work well with the screen-reader.

 

My girlfriend and I were just talking about games we could play. I have an old 
braille monopoly board from probably around the late 70s, and we just played a 
tense and nail-biting game. I always wanted a Trivial Pursuit game with all the 
questions in braille and a tactile board, but as far as I know that's never 
been a thing. We decided we both like trivia games, so I was wondering if 
anyone here knows about any available for PC? I'm not necessarily looking for 
something online, although I suppose that'd be fine really - just something 
that the two of us can play here on nights we feel like staying in. It should 
be something a sighted person can also easily play, too, so although I do 
appreciate for example the RS Games site (no trivia on there to my knowledge, 
but I bring it up because it's a site/client especially geared toward blind 
players), something with a little more screen feedback would be cool. I'm 
willing to shell out a few dollars for this, but of course we don't need 
anything too fancy or elaborate - just something with a good database of 
questions and answers.

 

What do you all think?

[JAWS-Users] MalWare Program Issues

[jyandt.martin]

Evening all.

I seem to have a malware program called Byte Fence Malware on my Delllaptop. I 
have gone into the control panel, and under programs to try to uninstall it, 
and every option; whether it is under the File menu, or going through the 
applications (shift F10), I cannot seem to get rid of it. But whenever I try to 
use these options, it opens the program, and none of the navigations work i.e. 
the jaws cursor, or the tab keys. I am using Windows 10, JAWS 17, on a Dell 
laptop. Any suggestions will be greatly helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] question is there a way to use the real speek voices with jaws and to be able to see a list of each voice and switch between them to choose the one you like?

[JM Casey]

You should see the voices in the "voice adjustment" dialogue, under "person", 
if you have the realspeak selected in the menu you described. From there, you 
can create a voice profile with the voice of your choosing. There aren't any 
voice profiles there until you create them. Did you run the executable to 
install the voices you downloaded? Unless you downloaded the compact voice pack 
(which I think was still a thing in Realspeak), you'll have to run each .msc

[JAWS-Users] question about the newlayout of history in ie 11 and how to change it back to the way it was before in ie 10?

[michv]

hi all. since i updated to ie 11 i found something in the last week or so 
and i am not shure what changed. i hit control shift h to bring up history and 
it brings up the history but it no longer has the history layed out the way it 
was before. before the update to ie 11 it was layed out in the following ways 
last week closed, 2 weeks ago closed, 3 weeks ago closed, and then after  all 
of that it said today and then it would lay out all the websights that i had 
visited and stuff and for some reason now it is no longer layed out that way 
and i want it set back to the way it was. the only thing that might have 
happend was i was trying to show some one a few picks on my pc and she was 
swipeing on my pad below the keyboard i don’t think she changed anything though 
how ever if any one knows how to get this back to the way i have described 
above please let me know. from Mich.

[JAWS-Users] Trivia game?

[JM Casey]

Hey everyone. I don't normally post requests like this, but hopefully this
is alright, and JAWS-related enough in the sense that I do want something
that will, obviously, work well with the screen-reader.

 

My girlfriend and I were just talking about games we could play. I have an
old braille monopoly board from probably around the late 70s, and we just
played a tense and nail-biting game. I always wanted a Trivial Pursuit game
with all the questions in braille and a tactile board, but as far as I know
that's never been a thing. We decided we both like trivia games, so I was
wondering if anyone here knows about any available for PC? I'm not
necessarily looking for something online, although I suppose that'd be fine
really - just something that the two of us can play here on nights we feel
like staying in. It should be something a sighted person can also easily
play, too, so although I do appreciate for example the RS Games site (no
trivia on there to my knowledge, but I bring it up because it's a
site/client especially geared toward blind players), something with a little
more screen feedback would be cool. I'm willing to shell out a few dollars
for this, but of course we don't need anything too fancy or elaborate - just
something with a good database of questions and answers.

 

What do you all think?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Intro and Internet Explorer Problem

[net bat66]

yes, it stores a cookie for amazon. but all you have to do is log out of one 
amazon site and log in to the other to replace the cookie and amazon will 
remember the last web site you logged on to and use that one each time unless 
you change back again to the normal site.

I believe when you install the access page for Amazon, it stores a cookie on
your machine so it will remember that you want the access page every time
you open your browser.

So, go looking in your cookies area under IE, I think it is on the General,
Settings page, look for View Files.


An alternative is to type
shell:cache
from the Run command.  Then, just do a search for cookie.admin.amazon.com

If you delete any cookies associated with Amazon, you may need to re-create
your account log-in meaning, it won't remember if you chose to automatically
sign-in and/or it will not remember your username, but your account will
still be there.  But, that will allow you to access the normal site.

Hello All,
This is Glenn in Northeast Nebraska.
I believe in myself to be a relatively computer-wise person most of the time, 
but I have a problem that has me stumped this time, and hoping someone here 
might have an idea for me.
I called Amazon about this problem, and they could not help me, they don't 
have a clue.
Anyway, what happened is that I was trying to help someone with little 
computer skills, via eMail, because he was having a problem with making some 
purchases from Amazon.com.
So I suggested that he try the access page by typing in the Amazon.com URL 
with /access at the end.
He could not make that simple thing happen, so I told him that I would eMail 
him the URL, because he can press enter on a link.
Well, all that helped, but to be sure that the /access page was still going 
on with Amazon, I actually did it first from my Internet Explorer.
It is, and I copied the URL and sent it to him, and that was the end of his 
problems, and the beginning of mine.


I prefer IE over FireFox, which I also have installed.
But now, there is no way I can get to a non-access page on Amazon.com, and I 
would prefer the non-access page, because I don't want separate links for 
reviews and details, and I like headings on pages, which the access pages 
lack.
I can copy the URL from IE, and paste it into the open page dialog in FF, and 
I get a normal non-access page.
So I tried to copy the non-access URL from FF, and paste it into the open 
page dialog in IE, and it takes me to an access page in IE.


I am using Windows 7 64 bit and the latest IE for windows 7 and Jaws 18.
I'm thinking that this is a cookie problem.
I looked under my name-folder and found cookies, but windows treats it like a 
file and asks me which program to open it with.
I had asked on another list and a good suggestion was to export my cookies 
and then delete the cookie folder, and then import the cookies.
I did that, and with IE all closed out, but when I went back in, I still get 
Amazon's access page.


I'm hoping for another suggestion.
Thanks.

Glenn

Good evening all,

 

Recently at work we  had to watch/listen to a webinar about safety in the
work place and then take a quiz at the end. This was a requirement for all
staff, and of course it didn't work with Jaws at all. I couldn't log in
using Jaws, had to turn it off and have a sighted coworker do it and then
listen to it and have a coworker read the quiz and check my answers as it
just didn't work with Jaws. Have any of you had to do this kind of thing at
work and have similar problems, or have you listened to a webinar for
something accessibility oriented that was usable with your screen reader?
I'm appreciate any input on this. Thanks in advance.  Judy & Libby
