Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

[JM Casey]

Yes, the "task switching" thing has something to do with Windows 10 UI and
has been noted by NVDA users, too. Just Microsoft mucking with the works,
again, making everybody's life inconsistent. :P

I'm not sure if this is related, but I've lately noticed JAWS verbalizing
"Task switching," which I don't recall hearing before. In the past, and
sometimes still today, I'd hear instead the name of the program I've
switched to. But often I now have to do a title command to confirm the
program has opened. Opening a program or webpage can already be a chore,
since I need to be careful not to type anything before loading has
completed. If I don't give it enough time, I have to close and start all
over again. This "task switching" distraction only compounds the annoyance.

This is because JAWS will now (since version 17) automatically shut down
when there is a "not responding" issue with a particular program. I see this
most often when switching into or out of Adobe Acrobat. JAWS does not seem
to play well with that program on my system, and I often have to wait that
20 or 30 seconds for JAWS to start up again.

Does your employee hear the "JAWS Home Edition" or "JAWS Professional
Edition" after the long delay -- then it is indeed JAWS restarting after
such a shutdown.

In the Shared Settings folder there is a default.jcf file that you can edit
with notepad. On my system it is located: C:\ProgramData\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\2018\Settings\enu\Default.JCF

Near the end of this file is a section titled [AutoRestart]  where you can
disable this "feature" or extend the time before JAWS shuts down and
restarts. A following section also lets you decide how long to delay for
specific applications. See if disabling or changing the delay times helps.

Be sure only to edit this file in a simple editor like Notepad to avoid
inserting other ASCII characters.

press JAWS key+1 on the number row above the letters to invoke JAWS' key 
identifier mode. Then look for the three keys that normally reside together at 
the top right of the keyboard. On my keyboard, the one on the left is the 
printscreen key, and JAWS will verbalize its name for you. to get out of key

Hi Star Gazer,

Check out the list of notes below:
Note:  Screen Shade is only available in Windows 10 & JAWS2018.

 Original Message
From: Sharon S
Hi all, I am running windows 10, Jaws 2018 on an Acer laptop. I went to show
something I was working on to my mum the other day, but she couldn't see
anything on the screen. My brother had a look at it tonight while I was out
and said it doesn't look like a hardware issue it looks more likely a
software issue. When mum told me this I remembered the Jaws screen shade. I
don't recall turning it on and I have no idea how to find out if it is on or
not. I have spent some time in the different menu options tonight but can't
find any reference to it. Could someone please tell me how this is turned on
and off so I can see if this is the problem.
I am thinking more and more this could be the problem since this is a
brand-new laptop so there shouldn't be any hardware issues. If it isn't
Jaws, then I will have to contact Acer helpdesk and see what they suggest.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
The most effective means I have found for confirming whether the
screen shade is on or off is to go into the quick settings menu with
an insert plus v or capslock plus v if you are using the laptop layout
and in the search field type shade. Next, down arrow once and JAWS
should state whether it is checked or not if it is pressing the space
bar on it to uncheck it and then tabbing to the ok button should
disable it.
Hope this helps

Hi Sandy,

Jaws has 3 modes of operation.  Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced.  The
higher the level you select to run, the less Jaws will speak as you use
the
program, & this means all across the board.  So, if you're running
Beginner
you will hear much more of Jaws as you do your work, email, web serfing,

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

[chris judge]

It's been happening more and more with me as well, not only when I switch
between programs, sometimes it happens when waiting for a page to load in
IE, or when navigating in ms office 2016. There doesn't seem to be any real
pattern.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

Good morning all!  I'm trying to help with one of our employees here at work
on an issue where JAWS freezes unexpectedly when switching from one window
to another using the Alt Tab key.  The issue is difficult to resolve because
it doesn't happen every time he switches windows.  It does happen two to
three times a day on average, and is hindering his efforts to perform his
job.  I have offered several solutions, but nothing has worked yet.  When
JAWS freezes, he has to wait some 30 seconds before speech comes back.  

I wanted to reach out to the list to see if any of you had any ideas as to
how I could minimize this behavior.  I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks very much!

Teresa, no, Eric is saying that VFO will work with the F11 key to help making 
it easier to find the print screen option. One way you can find it now is to 
press JAWS key+1 on the number row above the letters to invoke JAWS' key 
identifier mode. Then look for the three keys that normally reside together at 
the top right of the keyboard. On my keyboard, the one on the left is the 
printscreen key, and JAWS will verbalize its name for you. to get out of key

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

This is because JAWS will now (since version 17) automatically shut down
when there is a "not responding" issue with a particular program. I see this
most often when switching into or out of Adobe Acrobat. JAWS does not seem
to play well with that program on my system, and I often have to wait that
20 or 30 seconds for JAWS to start up again.

Does your employee hear the "JAWS Home Edition" or "JAWS Professional
Edition" after the long delay -- then it is indeed JAWS restarting after
such a shutdown.

In the Shared Settings folder there is a default.jcf file that you can edit
with notepad. On my system it is located: C:\ProgramData\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\2018\Settings\enu\Default.JCF

Near the end of this file is a section titled [AutoRestart]  where you can
disable this "feature" or extend the time before JAWS shuts down and
restarts. A following section also lets you decide how long to delay for
specific applications. See if disabling or changing the delay times helps.

Be sure only to edit this file in a simple editor like Notepad to avoid
inserting other ASCII characters.

Rick,
I agree with you on these observations.  Like you, I've been using Jaws for
many years.  I'd rather tailor the response directly for each program,
rather than setting Jaws on a higher level and missing important data.

Hi Sandy,
I have been using Jaws for about 18 years, and I have my verbosity level set
to "Beginner".
This way I have the best control over exactly what Jaws speaks.
You can adjust Jaws to your liking with time as you become more familiar
with it.

JAWS simply announces "copied".

to another using the Alt Tab key.  The issue is difficult to resolve because
it doesn't happen every time he switches windows.  It does happen two to
three times a day on average, and is hindering his efforts to perform his
job.  I have offered several solutions, but nothing has worked yet.  When
JAWS freezes, he has to wait some 30 seconds before speech comes back.  

I wanted to reach out to the list to see if any of you had any ideas as to
how I could minimize this behavior.  I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks very much!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Inquiry

[David Ferrin]

I have heard the saying that it is easier to ask for forgiveness then to ask 
for permission. Fortunately in this case neither apply since your message is 
fine for the list, so discuss away.

Evening all.
I apologize if this is off topic. I have Comcast for our internet. I cannot 
seem to be able to connect with the Comcast internet, but I am connected 
with Xfinity. Can anyone tell me, off list if necessary, as to how to 
connect with the Comcast aspect of my internet? I am using JAWS 2018, 
Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.

You don't have to be crazy to run a list like this, but it does help.
