Re: [JAWS-Users] Changeing JAWS' volume

[Mike B.]

Hi Fernando, Net bat, & List Members,

Okay I just tried assigning keystrokes to, increase / decrease system volume 
and increase / decrease voice volume, without success.  When invoking the 
assigned keystrokes the audio states it's doing the assigned task, but in 
reality ain't a damn thing happenin!  LOL  LOL

So in short, with my testing anyways, if you want to hear your assigned 
keystrokes increase / decrease percentages announced audibly by JAWS, that's 
exactly what you'll get, audible announcements, but the volume doesn't 
change for either system sounds or JAWS volume.  This was running Widows 7 
with JAWS 16 thru 2018.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hi Fernando,

To be honest I don't use any keystrokes for controlling volume.  I run 2
soundcards, 1 for system sounds & 1 for Jaws.  This way I don't run into
sound override problems.  I should have tested the steps I posted, but
assuming they would work correctly if assigned was a poor assumption from
what Net bat states.  On second thought, when I get some time I'll play
around since Net bat is running Widows 10, and I'm running Widows 7, to see
if volume keystroke assignment might work differently with Widows 7.

Hi net bat66 and Mike,

Does this procedure works when using Eloquence? In current JAWS versions
there is no Volume slider when setting a voice profile with Eloquence,
unlike with other synths like SAPI 5 or any Vocalizer variant.
As I remember from older JAWS versions, this control when using Eloquence
was simply a read-only edit box which said “Use your system's volume.”

Thanks in advance!

Hi Richard,



I got one better than your way to create a shortcut.

All you have to do both in Windows 7 or Windows 10 is bring up either the
run command with Windows Key+R or simply the search box with the Windows
key.

Now type sndvol and press enter and bingo, you are on the volume control.

I have read you can add a -f flag, e.g. sndvol -f to bring u p the master
volume directly but I found that even just sndvol will do this.

Here is the Jaws speech history as to what this sounds like, first without
and then with the -f switch, I am using just the Windows key/Cortana search
box and not the run command, note that the Jaws speech history gives you the
result after you type every letter of “sndvol”, if you type it fast you
never hear most of that, but I left it in just to show it:

You could of course create a shortcut with “sndvol” or “sndvol -f” but I 
personally find pressing the Windows key and typing sndvol is just about as 
fast as pressing Control+Alt+V or whatever shortcut you would assign the 
shortcut..


I guess another thing you can do is create the volume shortcut and put it on 
the taskbar, if you had it at the very left then pressing Windows Key+1 would 
do the trick as well.


I just tried it using SndVol -f for the shortcut which I called “Volume”, then 
I pinned it to the taskbar and dragged it to the first position  and when I 
pressed Windows+1 Jaws instantly says “Dialogue, up down slider, 81”.

Subject: Re: JAWS and volume control


Hi Richard,



I got one better than your way to create a shortcut.

All you have to do both in Windows 7 or Windows 10 is bring up either the run 
command with Windows Key+R or simply the search box with the Windows key.


Now type sndvol and press enter and bingo, you are on the volume control.

I have read you can add a -f flag, e.g. sndvol -f to bring u p the master 
volume directly but I found that even just sndvol will do this.


Here is the Jaws speech history as to what this sounds like, first without and 
then with the -f switch, I am using just the Windows key/Cortana search box and 
not the run command, note that the Jaws speech history gives you the result 
after you type every letter of “sndvol”, if you type it fast you never hear 
most of that, but I left it in just to show it:




Cortana

S, Search box edit

Sn, Snipping Tool, Desktop app

snd, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndv, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndvo, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndvol, Run command – this is where I pressed enter

Volume Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog

Speakers

Speakers

up down slider

83 – I am now pressing the down arrow several times and again the up arrow

82 percent

81 percent

80 percent

81 percent

82 percent

83 percent



Now here is what it sounds like with the -f switch added after SndVol, I left 
out all the suggestions which come up after each letter and go straight to the 
final one:


Cortana

sndvol -f, Run command

dialog

up down slider

83

82 percent

81 percent



Only difference seems to be that adding the -f switch doesn’t verbalize Volume 
Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog, Speakers, Speakers and 
instead it says right away the volume percentage.


You could of course create a shortcut with “sndvol” or “sndvol -f” but I 
personally find pressing the Windows key and typing sndvol is just about as 
fast as pressing Control+Alt+V or whatever shortcut you would assign the 
shortcut..


I guess another thing you can do is create the volume shortcut and put it on 
the taskbar, if you had it at the very left then pressing Windows Key+1 would 
do the trick as well.


I just tried it using SndVol -f for the shortcut which I called “Volume”, then 
I pinned it to the taskbar and dragged it to the first position  and when I 
pressed Windows+1 Jaws instantly says “Dialogue, up down slider, 81”.




Regards,

Sieghard

I'm not at my computer right now, but is there some kind of audio ducking

Maybe do insert-v and type audio in the search box and see what comes up.

[Mike B.]

Hi Morné,

From: Mike B.
Below are 2 different sets of steps for creating volume level keystrokes:

1. Open Keyboard Manager  without any applications / programs open to make 
sure you land on, Default, when  you open Keyboard Manager.  Do this by 
pressing,
Jaws key + F2, press the  letter, K, until you have Keyboard Manager 
highlighted, & press enter.   If you don't have, Default, highlighted when 
opening
the keyboard manager press  the letter, D, until you do.

2. Find the following to  assign keystrokes to them:
DecreaseSystemVolume,  None

DecreaseVoiceVolume,  None
IncreaseSystemVolume,  None

IncreaseVoiceVolume,  None
*Note:   None,  means that there is not a keystroke assigned to these 
functions /  tasks.

3. On each of these  functions / tasks press, Control + A, to open an edit 
field to insert the  keystroke you would like to use for this particular 
function
/ task.   *Note:  Make sure not to press any other keys other than the 
keystroke you  want!
4. After entering your  desired keystroke tab one time, and there's a 
checkbox for assigning this  keystroke to desktop keys only, usually people 
will
uncheck this.

5. Tab to, Okay, Press  ENTER, and choose OK in the confirmation dialog 
which appears.
6.  You'll be  returned to the list view of scripts.  Use the same steps 
with the  other functions / tasks listed above.
7. Close Keyboard  Manager with, Alt + F4.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

From: Richard
I found this on the Microsoft Answer page from Googling the question.  I did 
it and named it, creatively enough, volume, and assigned control+alt+v, 
which
gets  you to the master volume control on my Windows 10 Home system.

Then, alt+x gets you to the mixer controls where you can adjust programs 
separately, supposedly.

Here is what I found:

Yes,you can create a Master Volume Shortcut and also assign a Shortcut Key.

Right click on a empty area on desktop, and click on New and Shortcut.

Paste the following in to the location of the item area:-

%windir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 49825268

Click Next button and give a name to the Shortcut and click Finish.

Now You right click on it and select Properties.

Click Shortcut tab.

Assign your desired shortcut key like F8 or F9 in the Shortcut Key area.

Click OK/Apply.

HTH,
Richard

[JAWS-Users] Confirmation of Thunderbird Keyboard Command

[jerry martin]

Afternoon all.

I downloaded Thunderbird last week, and am learning quite a bit; 
however, I need confirmation regarding one of the keyboard commands.


When I am in an open email message, do I press the Control W key to get 
back to the inbox list? I am running the current Mozilla Thunderbird, 
JAWS 2018 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks all.

Hi Cuong,

I don't run Thunderbird, but I saved this note just in case.

From: adam morris
Column presentation
Go to the message list.

go to the very top of it with the home key.

enable touch cursor,

now go left until you hear select columns to display... button.

Press enter. This opens the menu allowing you to check and uncheck columns.

If you want to rearrange the columns, go left past that button and you'll find 
the header items like subject and the like. Find the one you want to move,

press the keystroke to lock mouse button, with laptop layout that would be 
shift caps lock num row 8. then left or right to the colum you'd like to place

this before and press the mouse lock toggle again. Note that the columns are 
read in the same order regardless of their actual position when using touch

cursor. You'll have to try to move it, then go back to pc cursor and navigate 
the list of messages to see if you did it. If it fails, try dragging other

columns around the one want to move instead and see if that works. It's a bit 
messy but can be done with a little time and a big dose of patients.

Once you have a folder set up, you may want to assign that folder's column view 
settings to all folders, this is available in that button that says choose

which columns to display near the bottom says something like apply to folder, 
you can apply it to your entire email account that way if you want to.
