Re: [JAWS-Users] BrailleSense U2 QWERTY

[Stephen Bennett]

Hi tom

I've done a number of these and, if you let the hims driver install where it 
wants to, Jaws should find it.

When installing the hims driver, there are two or three separate pieces of 
software within the driver package. Each one has a Finish Button and it's a bit 
confusing because when you press Finish the process starts again. It's very 
easy to assume you've made a booboo and people often press Cancel or close the 
installer too soon.  just let the thing go round a few times till it goes away.
The other thing to remember is to not connect the U2 till the Hims driver is 
finished installing.

Shout if you need further assistance.

All the Best

SB

Has anyone connected one of these as a braille display? I am using Windows 7 
64-bit Pro with JAWS 2018. If the HIMS braille driver is needed, where should 
it be placed on my hard drive? I get the message that the braille driver can’t 
be loaded.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Tips on dealing with/recognising screen-shots?

Hello Fernando

Thank you. I think this should work. I actually have Adobe Acrobat Pro here and 
while it is an old version, I have successfully gotten it to oCR entire books 
for me, though it's not 100% convenient as it locks up my entire system while 
doing so. I will experiment with the browser and Microsoft Print feature and 
see what can be done with JAWS and/or Acrobat.

Hi,

If you have Windows 10, you can print as PDF with no need of additional 
software.
First, open the image alone to make it fully visible without other content 
abobe or below. This is done by opening image's context menu and choosing View 
Image or the related command in your specific browser. The easier browser for 
this, although worse for most other things, is Internet Explorer, because you 
can simply place the JAWS Virtual Cursor on the graphic and press APPLICATIONS 
to open the picture's context menu.
When you have the full image opened in your web browser, press CTRL+P to open 
the Print dialog box. In the Printer Name combobox, choose Microsoft Print As 
PDF and press ENTER.
In the Save as dialog that will appear, give a name for the PDF and specify the 
location in which it'll be saved.
When the file is saved, open it in Adobe Reader. If your version of this 
program is too old, you may need to update it to a newer one so the JAWS PDF 
recognition feature works.
If you are presented a dialog about read unlabeled document, choose Guess the 
Reading Order from the Document and press ENTER.
When you are in the document, press the JAWS keystroke to recognize the 
document independently of your screen resolution and related settings, that is: 
JAWS+SPACEBAR, O, D.
Wait until JAWS displays the OCR Results window and see if the recognized text 
is useful.

Hope it helps!

Hi everyone.

 

So, as most of you probably know, a lot of sighted people, when they want to 
share or copy something that's on their display, don't copy and paste. They 
take screen-shots. One can see how this is convenient; you don't have to worry 
about formatting, all images are represented, etc. Obviously though, without 
oCR, if there's important information in the screen-shot, it can be frustrating 
for a blind user.

 

So, I have JAWS 18 on this Windows 10 machine. I understand Convenient OCR has 
improved with JAWS 2018, but I can only work with what I've got. I'm looking at 
a page that contains a screen-shot of a powershell script, which I would like 
to be able to read. I have put my cursor where the image is, and done the JAWS 
OCR with the "c" parameter. The results are, sadly, as I unfortunately usually 
experience with Convenient oCR, just not up to scratch for this purpose. Lots 
of scanning errors. It could be that the image is unclear, of course. But I'm 
wondering if anyone with more experience can give me a pointer on what I can do 
with a screen-shot like this to make the image more susceptible to JAWS oCR.

 

I'm looking into getting Abbyy Finereader at some point, and I guess at least 
one variant of that program comes with a specialised screen-shot application. 
That'll be cool, but the software still costs a couple of hundred dollars and 
I'm going to have to hold out on that for now.

 

Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Issue with JAWS after Windows 10 Update

Hi Jesse,
If your Jaws 2018 is not loading on the logon screen or desktop, 
perhaps that setting has become changed or corrupted. Under the main 
Jaws menu, open Basic Settings and tab to Automatically Start Jaws. 
Open that dialogue and make sure that both check boxes are checked, 
and, if you wish, that Jaws is set to load for all users 
always.  At 02:05 AM 3/31/2018, Jesse Tregarthen wrote:

[JAWS-Users] Issue with JAWS after Windows 10 Update

[Jesse Tregarthen]

Hello list,

When my computer did a Windows 10 update a while ago, I noticed JAWS 18 stopped 
starting up after log on. It would talk for log on but I'd get radio silence 
after I was signed in and would have to use the control-alt-j keystroke I set 
in properties to launch it or narrator. It seemed to do this even though it was 
set to start after log on. Now I've got an El Braille with JAWS 2018 and the 
same thing has happened. Now I need to try connecting a USB keyboard to the El 
Braille and try and trigger JAWS or narrator on so the Focus 14 display that 
comes with it will work again.

My question is has anybody experienced this and if so, what's the work around 
to stop this from happening every time I start my new El Braille? I fixed this 
problem on my laptop by simply switching to NVDA as my primary screenreader 
until I can figure this out. Thanks for any help you can provide. Regards,
Jesse Tregarthen
