Andy,

Yes, insert+f7 brings up a list of links, but insert+f5 is necessary to 
bring up a list that contains buttons. He was looking for a button.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Itunes script error message

Hello, Leonard. I don't know what version of Windows you are using. I am 
using Windows 7 64-bit Pro. While I didn't have the error you describe, I 
did have an entry point error that would not go away. After considerable

please send me your E-mail address, and I'll send it to  you, as I don't

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, 
so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said.
Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the 
AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program 
basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word.
To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options.
In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options.
In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the 
AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with 
Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name 
of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names. 
In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific symbols and, in 
practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”, “ra”, etc.

Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved 
character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would 
automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 
and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted 
assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes 
not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version 
of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? 
I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might help, but 
nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.

Thanks.

Thanks, Rebecca. Meanwhile, I determined that JAWS key+f, the keystroke for

I just twice went through the entire process of adding superscript and 
subscript to my default speech and sound scheme, both times with the modified 
version saved and confirmed as my default, but nothing has changed.
I still need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each 
character I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is.
Also, I'm still looking, but I can't find the control in Word for automatically 
putting letters after ordinals in superscript.
Why did MS and VFO make each part of this difficult when it was so simple in 
previous versions? Rhetorical question.

JAWS will behave like prior versions with Format and Text options switched off,

So, if you want to know if the superscripts are there, you have to switch to

JAWS will behave like prior versions with Format and Text options switched
off, except that subscripts and superscripts are suppressed.
So, if you want to know if the superscripts are there, you have to switch to

Gerald,

The presence of variable will depend on what you are ordering. I selected 
a

DIY frame, and a combo list was presented with a style type to pick. But
regardless, I was not able to work the buttons after that.

But I did see a thread on the JFW list with a similar issue in selecting
something on the screen. Here is that solution:

To select the tick box with JAWS, simply press the bypass key, JAWS key+3
then space bar.  This will tick it.

Give that  a try and let us know.

I'm speculating that in the case where you cannot press the "Add to Cart
Button" there is some other element (checkbox, combo box, editable combo
box, edit field) that needs to be used/selected before the button will
activate. For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then 
a
number needs first to be entered. In other cases, I've seen where a size 
or

a color choice must first be selected before the button can be activated.
There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on
the item itself, that it's hard to pin down a specific problem related to
JAWS.

Judy,

That's too much of an open-ended question. First, we don't know which 
sites
you are having problems with. Secondly, per your skill level -- are you 
able

to put items in your cart in any other shopping sites?

C'mon, give us a clue here.

Just a comment about the fact that I just went to two different websites 
to
purchase items and in both of them I was unable to add the item to my 
cart.

I am so sick of this. I can look it up and find it, but then can't get
anything to work to add to the cart. I tried three browsers and none of 
them

worked. I know my jaws is old, jaws 14, but honestly shouldn't something
work? Any ideas are appreciated. I know homicide is out! Judy & Libby

The Microsoft support page says:

refer to numbers that are positioned slightly higher or slightly lower than
the text on the line. For example, chemical formulas use subscript (H2O),
and an exponent is often formatted as a superscript (X4).

Examples of Subscript and Superscript formatting

Make text subscript or superscript
list of 3 items
1. Select the text that you want to format as subscript or superscript.

2. Do one of the following:

list of 2 items nesting level 1
On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Subscript. Or press CTRL+=.

the subscript command in the font group

On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Superscript. Or press
CTRL+SHIFT+=.

the superscript command in the font group list end nesting level 1

Note: Keyboard shortcuts do not work if you are using Word Online.

3. To undo the formatting, click the Subscript or Superscript button again,
or repeat the keyboard shortcut.
list end
I tried this, and JAWS 2018 does not tell me that the th in 4th, for example
is written in superscript.  
In Office 2010, under options, proofing, I can choose to have superscript
and subscript used or not.  I've played with settings, but again, JAWS 2018
does not tell me.  Perhaps there's a setting in JAWS that needs to be
enabled that I don't know about?  Smile.  
Or perhaps Word is ignoring instructions?  LOL.  I've not asked a sighted
person to check.

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I
moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word
would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with
Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a
sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript,
sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an
earlier version of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word
documents? I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might
help, but nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to
Word 2016.

I just opened a word document in Office 365. I'm using Magic at 22X so I can
see what I write, sometimes. Anyway. I wrote 14th  and 2nd and I could see
that after I wrote each of these and pressed the space bar, the t h and the

Which site were you trying to purchase from, and which browser versions did you 
try?

I know Google Chrome worked for me on some sites whee IE didn't, but I couldn't 
get Google Chrome to work with versions of Jaws earlier than 17.

Second question, as an assistive tech trainer, I often advise my clients to 
have at least a demo of other screen-readers in their back pockets, as there

are instances when one will not work while another will.

[JAWS-Users] programming on line for totally blind novices like me.

[Richard]

Hello Friends,

 

My only experience with writing programs goes back about 30 years. I
purchased and used the Eureka A4 and learned how to program using basic. Now
that I am retired and have time on my hands; I would like to try and write
programs again. I keep getting led around the mulberry bush when trying to
find out how and where to learn where we totals can go for learning just for
fun and on what platform the practice can be exercised. I use Jaws 15 and
have Windows 7. I can and would graduate to whatever I needed to if it would
help.

 

Thanks,

 

Rich S.

There are scripts you can get to make Youtube stuff more accessible.  Short 
of that, what I do is turn off the virtual cursor, then use the K for 
play/pause; and J and L for rewind and fast-forward respectively.


If you tab through the screen with the virtual cursor off, you can also find 
the volume setting slider and move it up and down.

to get to a certain point. When the video is paused I can hear that there 
is
a type of bar that allows movement through the video. Is there a way that 
we

can skip through the video? I am using JAWS 15 with Windows 7 64bit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

[T. Civitello]

I have been shopping on Amazon for years and for the most part have no 
problems. Sometimes however when something is not available, either out of 
stock or they no longer carry it, the add to cart button doesn't work or the 
button is absent.  Tom

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

[Judy]

Steve, they were two sites one called Seeking Health.com and the other
amymyersmd.com. I am trying to buy supplements from them. I tried IE,
Firefox and Chrome and none worked. It is possible to call these places and
order over the phone which is what I'll have to do tomorrow, but it is just
wrong that I can't do it online. I have an older Jaws, but from what people
have written, that's not the problem. I do have NVDA downloaded and honestly
didn't think to try it. But for me it is just too aggrevating to have to go
through all these various browsers, screen readers, etc to accomplish a
simple task of putting something in a cart. Thanks. Judy & Libby

Thanks, Rebecca. Meanwhile, I determined that JAWS key+f, the keystroke for
format information, will verbalize if a character is superscript. 
I just twice went through the entire process of adding superscript and
subscript to my default speech and sound scheme, both times with the
modified version saved and confirmed as my default, but nothing has changed.
I still need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each
character I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is.
Also, I'm still looking, but I can't find the control in Word for
automatically putting letters after ordinals in superscript.
Why did MS and VFO make each part of this difficult when it was so simple in
previous versions? Rhetorical question.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I
moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word
would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with
Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a
sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript,
sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an
earlier version of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word
documents? I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might
help, but nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to
Word 2016.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

[Gerald Levy]

I have set up an account on Hollar.com, but none of your suggestions work. 
This is one stubbornly inaccessible web site.

Gerald,
Okay, another shot using Hollar.com. I first tried to use the bypass key
(Insert+3) and then press spacebar -- no reaction. Tried it on both buttons.
Then Tried to route JAWS to pc and used left mouse button. I heard the word
"forbidden" and apparently nothing. Same with the "added" button. Not sure
if I am required to set up an account before I can actually purchase
something or not, so I didn't go further than that. Have you tied any of
these ideas?

Thankks for checking out this site.  At least I'm not the only one who is
having this issue.  When you click on the add to shopping cart button,
nothing happens.  There is no audible feedback to indicate that any action
has been taken.  And there is apparently no way to access the shopping cart
to see whether anything has been added.  It's too bad because Hollar has a
lot of great stuff cheap, but I guess it is not JAWS accessible.

Gerald,

Out of curiosity, I went to hollar.com. Yes, found the same issue you
report. This shopping site does not play well, as compared to Amazon. Even
if I make sure to select a color, style, or size and make sure that there is
a quantity in the edit spin box, pressing on either the "Add to Cart?"
button or the "Added" button does not give any feedback. Moreover I'm not
familiar enough with the site to know just how to proceed to checkout to see
if the items are in the cart or not. I could not find an element with words
like "checkout", "proceed", "go to", or "view cart". I also suspect that
this site updates itself periodically without warning so as to wipe out the
current search list, so that added a level of frustration. I'll stick with
Amazon for now.

Well, I have also encountered this problem on a number of shopping sites.
For instance, when I try to activate the add to shopping cart button on
Hollar.com using JAWS, nothing happens.  I have tried the space bar, enter
key, left mouse click and links list, all to no avail.  And switching to
another screen reader doesn't work, either.  If anyone has a work around,
pleas share it. To test your work around, I suggest visiting Hollar.com, and
trying to activate the button to add an item to your shopping cart.

The presence of variable will depend on what you are ordering. I selected a

regardless, I was not able to work the buttons after that.

But I did see a thread on the JFW list with a similar issue in selecting

To select the tick box with JAWS, simply press the bypass key, JAWS key+3

I'm speculating that in the case where you cannot press the "Add to Cart

activate. For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then a

a color choice must first be selected before the button can be activated.
There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

[Adrian Spratt]

Dave and list,

Dave has listed the methods I would try when frustrated by a "confirm" or 
"purchase" button. In IE11, I find that if I can't locate the button with the 
JAWS cursor, chances are nothing is going to work. 
However, websites that don't work with IE11 are increasingly working for me 
with Chrome. 
Dean Martineau's newsletter this past week links to a lecture on browser 
accessibility. Referring to HTML5 content, the speaker said that IE11 picks up 
only 50% of controls. Chrome and Firefox were somewhere in-between, and Edge is 
at 100%. These percentages don't reflect my browser experience. For example, 
she gave a higher percentage to Firefox than Chrome, but my experience with 
Firefox 60 is so bad that I've given up on it. I imagine the reason for the 
difference between the speaker's numbers and my experience is that HTML5 is 
only one coding system that websites use. All the same, the percentages suggest 
that IE11 is falling further and further behind. 
I hate to promote Chrome because its file menu system is so cumbersome and 
often not intuitive. But in terms of speed and greater access to Web content, 
it seems to be the best at this moment, May 20, 2018.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Adrian Spratt]

Thanks, Rebecca. Meanwhile, I determined that JAWS key+f, the keystroke for 
format information, will verbalize if a character is superscript. 
I just twice went through the entire process of adding superscript and 
subscript to my default speech and sound scheme, both times with the modified 
version saved and confirmed as my default, but nothing has changed. I still 
need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each character 
I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is.
Also, I'm still looking, but I can't find the control in Word for automatically 
putting letters after ordinals in superscript.
Why did MS and VFO make each part of this difficult when it was so simple in 
previous versions? Rhetorical question.

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved 
character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would 
automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 
and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted 
assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes 
not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version 
of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? 
I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might help, but 
nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.

Thanks.

I tried this, and JAWS 2018 does not tell me that the th in 4th, for example
is written in superscript.  
In Office 2010, under options, proofing, I can choose to have superscript
and subscript used or not.  I've played with settings, but again, JAWS 2018
does not tell me.  Perhaps there's a setting in JAWS that needs to be
enabled that I don't know about?  Smile.  
Or perhaps Word is ignoring instructions?  LOL.  I've not asked a sighted
person to check.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I
moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word
would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with
Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a
sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript,
sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an
earlier version of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word
documents? I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might
help, but nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to
Word 2016.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

[Dave...Oregonian]

Gerald,
Okay, another shot using Hollar.com. I first tried to use the bypass key 
(Insert+3) and then press spacebar -- no reaction. Tried it on both buttons. 
Then Tried to route JAWS to pc and used left mouse button. I heard the word 
"forbidden" and apparently nothing. Same with the "added" button. Not sure 
if I am required to set up an account before I can actually purchase 
something or not, so I didn't go further than that. Have you tied any of 
these ideas?

Thankks for checking out this site.  At least I'm not the only one who is
having this issue.  When you click on the add to shopping cart button,
nothing happens.  There is no audible feedback to indicate that any action
has been taken.  And there is apparently no way to access the shopping cart

Out of curiosity, I went to hollar.com. Yes, found the same issue you
report. This shopping site does not play well, as compared to Amazon. Even
if I make sure to select a color, style, or size and make sure that there is
a quantity in the edit spin box, pressing on either the "Add to Cart?"
button or the "Added" button does not give any feedback. Moreover I'm not
familiar enough with the site to know just how to proceed to checkout to see
if the items are in the cart or not. I could not find an element with words
like "checkout", "proceed", "go to", or "view cart". I also suspect that
this site updates itself periodically without warning so as to wipe out the
current search list, so that added a level of frustration. I'll stick with
Amazon for now.

For instance, when I try to activate the add to shopping cart button on

The presence of variable will depend on what you are ordering. I selected a
DIY frame, and a combo list was presented with a style type to pick. But
regardless, I was not able to work the buttons after that.

But I did see a thread on the JFW list with a similar issue in selecting
something on the screen. Here is that solution:

To select the tick box with JAWS, simply press the bypass key, JAWS key+3
then space bar.  This will tick it.

Give that  a try and let us know.

On Hollar.com, there are no variables.  There are no elements other than the
quantity edit field which is set to 1 by default and the add to shopping

I'm speculating that in the case where you cannot press the "Add to Cart

activate. For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then a

There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on

Judy,

That's too much of an open-ended question. First, we don't know which sites
you are having problems with. Secondly, per your skill level -- are you able
to put items in your cart in any other shopping sites?

C'mon, give us a clue here.

Just a comment about the fact that I just went to two different websites to
purchase items and in both of them I was unable to add the item to my cart.
I am so sick of this. I can look it up and find it, but then can't get
anything to work to add to the cart. I tried three browsers and none of them
worked. I know my jaws is old, jaws 14, but honestly shouldn't something
work? Any ideas are appreciated. I know homicide is out! Judy & Libby

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

[Dave...Oregonian]

I'm speculating that in the case where you cannot press the "Add to Cart 
Button" there is some other element (checkbox, combo box, editable combo 
box, edit field) that needs to be used/selected before the button will 
activate. For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then a 
number needs first to be entered. In other cases, I've seen where a size or 
a color choice must first be selected before the button can be activated. 
There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on 
the item itself, that it's hard to pin down a specific problem related to 
JAWS.

At times when this happens I find that using the Jaws links menu will work.
Insert plus F7, arrow to the link if necessary and tab down to activate link
and press enter. Could be I am all wet but it's worth a try.  Tom

[JAWS-Users] New windows 10 version #-RE: jaws and Microsoft edge

It seems that with the recent build of jaws and the windows 10 spring creators 
update
Microsoft edge has gotten usable with jaws.  Jaws still says too much in edge 
Like entering navigation, and exiting navigation
But I can put up with that as long as edge doesn’t unexpectably  stop working 
like with internet explorer!

E-mail is golden!!!

percentage of the video, and find JAWS scripts for youtube on dlee.org

[JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Adrian Spratt]

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved 
character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would 
automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 
and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted 
assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes 
not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version 
of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? 
I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might help, but 
nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.

Thanks.

While playing a video, turn off the virtual cursor with insert Z.
Then, use K to pause or play the video, J to rewind, and L to fast forward.

Hello all- I have seen that sighted people can skip through a YouTube video
to get to a certain point. When the video is paused I can hear that there is
a type of bar that allows movement through the video. Is there a way that we
can skip through the video? I am using JAWS 15 with Windows 7 64bit.

Well, I have also encountered this problem on a number of shopping sites.
For instance, when I try to activate the add to shopping cart button on
Hollar.com using JAWS, nothing happens.  I have tried the space bar, enter
key, left mouse click and links list, all to no avail.  And switching to
another screen reader doesn't work, either.  If anyone has a work around,
pleas share it. To test your work around, I suggest visiting Hollar.com, and
trying to activate the button to add an item to your shopping cart.

[JAWS-Users] Skipping through aYouTube video
