Re: [JAWS-Users] Ribbon view in Windows 10

[Mike B.]

Hi Michele,

Below is a very good explanation / tutorial for Jaws users & pretty much any 
screenreader user:

From: Thom Spittle

There is not a lot to ribbons.

Think of it this way.

Microsoft groups commands together that are alike. So under one tab there
may be many groups.

Let's use Microsoft Word 2010 as an example. If I want to insert something.
I can hit the alt key to go to the upper ribbon and right arrow to the
insert tab. This would be the same thing as hitting alt N.

So now hit tab to go to the lower ribbon.

There are the following groups:

Pages, tables, illistrations, links, headers and footers, text, and symbols.

You can use the control + right and left arrow to go between these groups.
So if I wanted to insert an illustration, I can hold down control and press
the right arrow until I get to the illustration group.

The commands in illistrations are:

Picture, clip art, shapes, smart art, chart, and screen shots, .

Every time I hit tab, it will go from one command to another. When you get
to the end of commands in that group, it takes you to the next group, which
in this case is links. It would say hyperlink, which is the first command in
the link group.

So to put this together, after going to the insert tab, and hit tab, it will
put you in the pages group which has 3 commands. After tabbing through these
3 commands, and you tab again, you are in the tables group, which has just 1
command, then pressing tab again you will land in the illistrations group.
So if you don't know what group something is in, you can keep hitting tab
and it will take you through each command in each group.

But to be faster, if you know what group a command is in, control right
arrow until you get to the group you want, then tab to get the command you
want, then just press enter.

Some commands bring up another group of choices, where you can arrow around
until you find what you want and press enter on it.

This method of navigating the ribbons can be done in every Microsoft
application that uses ribbons.

This is a good start, just practice navigating, and it will be less
confusing to you.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thom

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi everyone. Is there a way of changing the view in Windows 10 so that 
things aren’t in ribbons, but the way they used to be. I also don’t know 
what tiles are. I’m finding the new outlay  extremely confusing and 
intimidating. Thanks for any ideas.

Cheers!

I've had the same issue as well -- JAWS 18 and Outlook 2007.
It would be really helpful if we could hear from VFO developers to let us
know what's going on and, more importantly, FIX THE PROBLEM!!

I have the same issue using Outlook 2007.  I found that if I close Outlook
and reopen it I usually get rid of the tables but it is temporary and I have
to do it again when the tables come back.  You can also open the message as
html by doing the following: Alt-h+x and then v.  You can read the message
and then copy what you want or simply close it with Alt-f4.

You don't even have to use iTunes for that. Voice Dream can receive
files from cloud storage services like Dropbox and iCloud (not sure
about Google Drive), and you can also use other apps on your phone
like File Browser to act as an intermediary between your phone and
computer.

Tutorial for Using the Google Chrome Browser

By David Moore

This tutorial will be done with the latest update of Chrome.

I will also use JAWS 18 and NVDA 2017.2for this tutorial, because they both
work the same in Chrome.

Finally, I will use Windows 10 Creators Update latest public build.

I will assume that you have downloaded and installed Chrome.

There should be a shortcut on your desktop.

Section One:

Launching Chrome:

One way to Launch Chrome, is to press the Windows key or CTRL+Escape and
type Chrome in the search edit field, and press enter when you hear JAWS say
Chrome.

However, since you have already downloaded Chrome, You will have a shortcut
icon on your desktop.

So next, find the shortcut for Chrome on your desktop, and press enter to
open Chrome.

The short cut will actually say Google Chrome, so press G to find the Google
Chrome icon on your desktop.

The first very important step, is to press Windows+up arrow to maximise the
window. Chrome often opens with the window not maximise, and you will get
undesirable results.

Section Two:

Bringing up a web site.

Press CTRL+L or Alt+D

and type the following:

www.freedomscientific.com

The Freedom Scientific web site comes up very quickly.

All navigation commands like: H for heading, E for edit field, C for combo
box, and so on all work just the same in Chrome.

Section Three:

The Virticle Chrome menu:

I will press the Alt key.

The Chrome menu is open.

This is a very large virticle menu that you just keep pressing up and down
arrow through.

I will press insert+up arrow to hear the first option in this menu.

New Tab, CTRL+T.

You can press that command right from the web site you are on.

New Window, CTRL+N

You can press these commands right from your web page, instead of coming
here.

New incognito Window.

History sub menu.

I will press right arrow here to see what is in this sub menu!

History, CTRL+H

So, there is a key command for reading your history.

You can read a few sites you were on right here.

I will press left arrow to close this history sub menu.

Downloads, CTRL+J

There is the command for opening your downloads you have downloaded with
Chrome.

Next, the important Bookmarks sub menu.

I will press right arrow, to open this.

I hear, bookmark this page, CTRL+D

That command will bookmark the page you are reading.

Next down arrow, says show bookmarks bar, CTRL+Shift+B

That command, will show your bookmarks on your Chrome browser for all to
see. I do not want that.

Here is the important one.

manage bookmarks

The command is, CTRL+Shift+O

In here, you can organize your bookmarks into folders, see the bookmarks you
have imported from different browsers, and very importantly, you can
download, to your computer, an HTML file of all of your bookmarks in Chrome.

On your computer, you can press enter on this file, after it downloads, and
a page will show up in Chrome with a list of all bookmarks you have saved in
Chrome. This is an awesome way to download all of your bookmarks right to
your computer, so you can back them up.

That is all for manage bookmarks.

Next, I hear import bookmarks and settings.

press enter on this, and you can import all bookmarks and settings from IE,
and Firefox, right into Google Chrome, and they will be in their
corresponding folders.

Now, I hear all of my saved bookmarks as I continue to arrow down.

Very important!

Sometimes, when I open that bookmarks sub menu, I do not land on the choices
I mension here, but instead, I start hearing my saved bookmarks.
If this happens, I press up arrow a few times, and it gets me to these
choices.

Keep in mind, that many of these choices, like bookmark manager, have key
commands, so you do not have to come to this bookmarks sub menu at all. You
only need to come here most of the time, to arrow through your saved
bookmarks, and enter on the desired one.

To save a web site as a bookmark,

Just press CTRL+D and press enter, and your bookmark is saved.

I will now press left arrow, to close the Bookmarks sub menu!

I will continue to down arrow through this virticle Chrome menu that we
entered by just pressing alt.

The next few are very self explanatory.

The next one I will mension, is the more tools submenu.

I will press right arrow on this.

I hear Save Page as, and the command, CTRL+S.

Next, Save to desktop.

This allows you to save the favorite of the page right to your desktop.
This is how you do this in Chrome, instead of doing this in the file menu in
IE.

The short cut will actually say Google Chrome, so press G to find the
Google Chrome icon on your desktop.

The first very important step, is to press Windows+up arrow to maximise
the window. Chrome often opens with the window not maximise, and you
will get undesirable results.

Section Two:

Bringing up a web site.

Press CTRL+L or Alt+D

and type the following:

www.freedomscientific.com

The Freedom Scientific web site comes up very quickly.

All navigation commands like: H for heading, E for edit field, C for
combo box, and so on all work just the same in Chrome.

Section Three:

The Virticle Chrome menu:

I will press the Alt key.

The Chrome menu is open.

This is a very large virticle menu that you just keep pressing up and
down arrow through.

I will press insert+up arrow to hear the first option in this menu.

New Tab, CTRL+T.

You can press that command right from the web site you are on.

New Window, CTRL+N

You can press these commands right from your web page, instead of coming
here.

New incognito Window.

History sub menu.

I will press right arrow here to see what is in this sub menu!

History, CTRL+H

So, there is a key command for reading your history.

You can read a few sites you were on right here.

I will press left arrow to close this history sub menu.

Downloads, CTRL+J

There is the command for opening your downloads you have downloaded with
Chrome.

Next, the important Bookmarks sub menu.

I will press right arrow, to open this.

I hear, bookmark this page, CTRL+D

That command will bookmark the page you are reading.

Next down arrow, says show bookmarks bar, CTRL+Shift+B

That command, will show your bookmarks on your Chrome browser for all to
see. I do not want that.

Here is the important one.

manage bookmarks

The command is, CTRL+Shift+O

In here, you can organize your bookmarks into folders, see the bookmarks
you have imported from different browsers, and very importantly, you can
download, to your computer, an HTML file of all of your bookmarks in Chrome.

On your computer, you can press enter on this file, after it downloads,
and a page will show up in Chrome with a list of all bookmarks you have
saved in Chrome. This is an awesome way to download all of your
bookmarks right to your computer, so you can back them up.

That is all for manage bookmarks.

Next, I hear import bookmarks and settings.

press enter on this, and you can import all bookmarks and settings from
IE, and Firefox, right into Google Chrome, and they will be in their
corresponding folders.

Now, I hear all of my saved bookmarks as I continue to arrow down.

Very important!

Sometimes, when I open that bookmarks sub menu, I do not land on the
choices I mension here, but instead, I start hearing my saved bookmarks.
If this happens, I press up arrow a few times, and it gets me to these
choices.

Keep in mind, that many of these choices, like bookmark manager, have
key commands, so you do not have to come to this bookmarks sub menu at
all. You only need to come here most of the time, to arrow through your
saved bookmarks, and enter on the desired one.

To save a web site as a bookmark,

Just press CTRL+D and press enter, and your bookmark is saved.

I will now press left arrow, to close the Bookmarks sub menu!

I will continue to down arrow through this virticle Chrome menu that we
entered by just pressing alt.

The next few are very self explanatory.

The next one I will mension, is the more tools submenu.

I will press right arrow on this.

I hear Save Page as, and the command, CTRL+S.

Next, Save to desktop.

This allows you to save the favorite of the page right to your desktop.
This is how you do this in Chrome, instead of doing this in the file
menu in IE.

It is hidden under this more tools submenu.

Clear Browsing data, and there is the key command, CTRL+Shift+Delete key.

Extentions, In here, you can add extentions, delete extentions and so on.

These are the same as add ons, in IE.

I will press left arrow, to close the More Tools sub menu, and we are
back to the virticle Chrome menu.

The last two that I will mention, are settings, and the help sub menu.

If you press the left arrow on the help sub menu, you can open the help

[JAWS-Users] application mode and pc cursor

[Judy]

Hi, well the trouble I was having is only at home, but at work I can use
that computer and this grocery delivery service. The difference, I realized
is, that at work when I press jaws key and Z twice it will turn off the
application mode, but the pc cursor is still turned on. If I press it again
it turns back on the application mode. This doesn't work on my home
computer. When I press jaws and Z it toggles the application mode on and
off, but when it's on it really doesn't work very well and I have that
annoying "application control" statement. Is this a matter of settings, or
do you think it's because my home computer is too old. Thanks in advance.
Judy & Libby

Usually when I’m using the pc virtual cursor, a button is not present that’s 
suppose to be there.  If I switch to the jaws cursor jaws announces that button 
but I  cannot activate it when pressing enter!

Hi Andy!
If I remember correctly, they are for iTunes 12.1, or close to that.
When he did these tutorials, you could still simply press CTRL+9 to listen 
to thousands of radio stations. That is gone in iTunes 12.7. It probably has 
changed, since he did them. You cannot use iTunes 12.7 to download media to 
your iPhone anymore either, I believe. I am not sure how good the tutorials 
would be except to introduce people to iTunes, and to set it up.

How out of date? It seems like iTunes makes changes with each new version.

Hi,
I use iTunes with JAWS, and it is accessible to the point where you can
definitely use it to create your music library, and it is not too bad in
the store and buying music.
Jim Flusche, did three Audio Tutorials that I have. They are a little out
of date, but I will ask jim if I can share them on this list as a One
Drive link.
I will let you know if it is alright with Jim.
Take care, all!
