[JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free Kindle Software with Accessibility Features
Here is a new and presumably Jaws accessible application. I would prefer a fully portable e-book reading device such as my sighted colleagues have available to them and will probably so inform them, I don't much fancy sitting at a computer for my recreational reading but there may be many on this list who will find this of interest and value.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free Kindle Software withAccessibility Features
Dear Victoria, I am sorry, I am not familiar with Windows 7. Neither am I all that familiar with adjusting Internet Explorer. As I remember you can use the Jaws cursor when you hear the pop-up sound and move with it to near the top of the screen where there is a place to right click and allow the pop-up and the download however you would be better to go through the Security settings of Internet Explorer I think it is near or at the bottom of the tools Menu. I can't tell you exactly under which tab but it is in the security settings. Enable pop-ups there before you go to the Site to download the application. You might put this out to the general list, I am pretty sure someone will be used to this sort of problem and be able to give more precise instructions.

Do you know how to tell the Windows XP3 Internet Explorer 7, to allow a download that has been blocked? Is there any keyboard command we can use, as soon as we hear the Block sound, to continue the download? Many thanks!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free KindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features
Here in lies the problem though. Not all electronic books are created equal in the site of the cyber gods. Kindle is a format not necessarily the same as other e-book formats. It is the old Betamax/VHS wars all over again. Same with Audio books. I am discovering that not all of our MP3 reading solutions, Victor Stream, Plextalk, Olympus DM4 so far tested give good access to all of the audio books they all claim to support. I expect the same is true with e-book readers. Is Epub the same format as Kindle? Are all titles available to ePub equivalent to those available to Kindle? Will we, the consumer ever actually get what we want or will we continue to accept and actually purchase what they, the providers insist we should have? And when will we, the blind, have access to the promise of universal accessibility that the printing press now four or more centuries ago gave seeing people who only needed to take the initiative to learn to read. The universality of binary 1s and 0s is being very deliberately subverted with the specific intent to limit who has access to written material. This is not the coincidental barriers of things like Adobe PDF but a deliberate restriction. Kindle will certainly hear from me on the subject but it is a message which requires far broader broadcast. This goes around and around and around. Tape was thought to kill the music industry then the cassette then the Internet. Video home equipment was going to kill the cinema and so Internet sharing and pirating while the movies make more money than ever before. - Original Message - From: CrisMunoz54 crismuno...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 11:04 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free KindleSoftwarewithAccessibility Features There is a Firefox add-on called ePub reader that is Accessible with Jaws.

I haven't played with the mobile side of things, but you could always give it a shot.

We have a different view on an application being accessible. The Kindle PC application (menu and dialogs) is accessible with the Screen Reader, the books themselves however, are not. The books (those which the publishers have allowed), are read using Text To Speech provided by Kindle. In the case of other books, the application is still accessible (menu and dialogs), but the books are not at all. The quality of this speech from the Text To Speech they provide and the lack of control leaves much to be desired. We have expressed to Amazon and Kindle, that screen reader users would like to use their screen reader for speech, Braille, and control of navigation. This current solution, while a commendable effort, is very misleading to say the least. For those of you try it out, I encourage users to try it and then point out your opinions to them directly.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Help! Jaws won't read e-mail messages.
David, while this is an option in the settings for Jaws 7 and 9 and probably elsewhere it is not a selection in Jaws 11. Anyway, it isn't the fact that the message isn't immediately read when open, the body of the message just isn't there, it is invisible to the pc cursor in Jaws 11 when the message is open. Bits of it can be read with the Jaws cursor and if one is patient enough to use paging keys and return to the Jaws cursor the message can be read using the Jaws cursor but it is invisible to the PC cursor. Arrow keys don't read, Jaws key and arrow doesn't read line, the text is simply invisible to Jaws with the PC cursor.

[JAWS-Users] Now resolved [WAS] Re: Help! Jaws won't read e-mail messages.
Thanks to those who have been trying to help me with this issue. It is now resolved. I'll tell you how and what happened though I still don't understand quite why. I went to the Jaws menu and the check for updates. I had thought I had installed both of the available updates after the CD installation but one either failed or in some way didn't install, anyway, one showed as available so I checked it and had it install. Once the computer rebooted and I reloaded Outlook Express the edit window became responsive. Another interesting thing is that the Open message option appeared in the Jaws+V verbosity menu. I went through all the menu options but as far as memory serves this is the only item that was missing. In the end though that was not the issue, it was unchecked and of course the messages weren't being read automatically when open and Jaws did remind me to use the reading keys to read the message when it was open but the reading keys did now read the text in the body of the message. When I checked read message it does that now too. Now if I can figure out why I can't print to my network printer and embosser as God intended I will be a more content camper.

[JAWS-Users] Outlook Distress isn't talking in composing message body, HELP!
In the process of revitalizing Janet's computer I installed JAWS version 11 along with the update. This is an Acer running XP Home. The hard drive was replaced and the contents of the old one dumped onto the new one. Most things seem to be as they were however when composing a message the edit screen doesn't talk. You hear typing but looking back indicates an empty screen. The Subject line is there and talks. Reverting to Jaws 7 and it all talks fine. JAWS+Q tells me it has loaded the correct configuration. In the options menu of Outlook Distress I selected Aerial 12 point just because that is what I usually select but when I ask for the font (JAWS+F) it announces Times New Roman. Seems to me I have seen similar issues reported here in the past, anyway can anyone tell me how to see what is or at least should be in the edit pane while composing a message?

Re: [JAWS-Users] iPod Touch; Can I enable voiceover from iTunes?
Actually, once I understood some of the access issues even Jaws 9 doesn't do badly. Something has the bad habit of forcing focus to a list of songs from somewhere and keeping focus on sources requires patience and tenacity but it is manageable once you understand what it is supposed to do. Getting it to do it is a bit challenging. I didn't try the Apple shop though. In fairness, iTunes isn't all that nice to sighted people either. My son has had a Shuffle for probably 5 years now and didn't realize that it is possible to set iTunes not to launch every time he plugs into his Mac to charge the player. Mind you, his version of iTunes is quite a bit older and may not have that facility. Off topic, I have given him the iTouch, lack of Voiceover capability doesn't hinder him any. - Original Message - From: Adi Kushnir adikush...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] iPod Touch; Can I enable voiceover from iTunes?

[JAWS-Users] iPod Touch; Can I enable voiceover from iTunes?

Re: [JAWS-Users] iPod Touch; Can I enable voiceover from iTunes?
Thank you Adi, Maybe this iPod Touch is too old or something. It appears to be a 16 GIG. I don't seem to have the option you told me about, Then, press the tab key until you here configure universal access button it just isn't there. The other peculiar thing is that it shows software version 2.2.1 and even after looking for update I get the message that this is the latest update. I don't see any reference to the operating system version unless the software version is the operating system version and maybe this unit doesn't support IOS 4. Is that likely? Thanks, I did find everything else as you said I would. although landing on some of the iTunes functions can be problematic.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws iTunes
Although I can't find my Jaws 10 and 11 CDs so am using 9 which also does not play well with iTunes, and so can't help you, I can share your frustration! Wouldn't you think sometime between about Jaws 7 and now someone would have made iTunes accessible and easy to use? Either Apple maybe with an alternate logically organized and simplified site or maybe Freedom Scientific working with the current site? We have a simplified already accessible search engine like google by means of the Research feature which is already about as accessible as a Web site can be but are left unable to use something like iTunes, something one might expect a lot of blind people with a full spectrum of computer skills to want to access. Can they be collaborating with Apple to drive us from Microsoft and Windows or maybe to change over to another screen reader? Surely not! What ever the business strategy might be isn't obvious to me at least but I think I am beginning to get some sense of it. If you do find an answer please share it with the rest of us.

Re: [JAWS-Users] the list is back on
Turning the list off has generated a way more inane rubbish than we ever got from people complaining about Jaws. This is so often true and a lesson so slowly learned on list after list! now really what would be the point in turning off the list? There are at least two other Jaws lists out there, traffic would soon move and it would start all over again. There can be little doubt for some need for list moderation there always is but never forget fellow listers that moderator is based on the root word moderate.

Re: [JAWS-Users] volume hotkeys?
I doubt it, I believe that programme only searches for software hot keys, the sort that creating shortcuts for launching programmes creates. If there are built-in shortcut keys they will be in the computer manuals or some of the help screens. If you have someone who can see they may find some combinations of keys denoted by pictures of speakers with arrows up and down. There are probably others with antenna icons on them for turning on the WiFi radio and things like that, maybe spy glass icons for screen magnification, all kinds of stuff. I used to have a programme which allowed one to set up keys for volume up and down over 10 years ago, I expect it is still out there somewhere but I'd bet there is something on your computer to allow this. - Original Message - From: Deana dbrow...@comcast.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2010 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] volume hotkeys?

Deana, there may be a combination for muting the sound too. If Jaws suddenly quits along with Windows sounds and other things you have found it. Maybe FN-12 or FN-9.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Silencing part of the screen.
Hello Dan, While I haven't done this in a very long time, you are correct about using frames to silence parts of the screen. Well, it worked in much earlier versions of JAWS anyway. I don't remember how it is done but the documentation should refresh the memory. Dale leavens. - Original Message - From: Dan Rossi d...@andrew.cmu.edu To: JAWS Users jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 9:37 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Silencing part of the screen. This is pretty obscure, so not sure anyone will have a suggestion, but here goes. Firstly, this issue is occurring essentially in a terminal window, IE, when I am running in Cygwin, a linux-like command-line interface on a Windows box. On all of my machines, except for my newest 64 bit Windows 7 box, I have no problem. When I am using my email client, Pine, it shows the first screen of information, when you hit the space bar, it shows the next screen full of text. The top line of the screen stays mostly the same, showing the Pine version, message number, and a couple of other things, it also shows the percentage of the email that has been displayed so far. The bottom couple of lines of the screen is a command menu of sorts. In all of my boxes, except for the Windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, JAWS just reads whatever changed on the screen. So, it doesn't reread the top line of the screen, except for the percentage which changes. And, it doesn't read the bottom two lines of the screen. On my windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, it rereads the entire first line of the screen. This is rather annoying. I am not sure why the difference, since I am running the same version of JAWS on all the boxes. I have never messed around with JAWS frames, but am wondering, can I set up a frame that encompasses most of the first line of the screen and then sets it to silent mode or something like that. This is definitely reminiscent of VocalEyes back in the day. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Thanks. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Sudden Loss of authorizations
Ah well Robin, If the experts of Tech Support can't resolve it I guess I wouldn't know. Since my first version, Jaws 2.2 I have noticed varying levels of stability over the years. My sense is that version 3.7U was the most responsive and most stable but in fairness Jaws is becoming a very large and complex programme, perhaps too large and complex for the sort of reliability needed for high and dependable productivity. I know that if the sighted people I have worked along side of for decades now were forced to reboot their computers when accessing many Web sites or had their screens inexplicably drop into 40 minute demo mode computers would not be ubiquitous in business or health care and nobody would depend on one to fly an airplane. When the power came back on and I reverted out of battery stretch mode Jaws no longer seemed to mind being on my computer. - Original Message - From: East, Robin robin.e...@cra-arc.gc.ca To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 9:50 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Sudden Loss of authorizations Hi Dale, this is interesting. I have no answers for you or clues as to what occurred. I can tell you that I use the dongle with the authorization key on it. Over the last six weeks or so I have had four dongles suddenly lose their authorization update information. For example I had updated the dongles to Jaws 11 from JAWS 9. Suddenly and without any reason that I can re-produce the dongles were reset back to JAWS 9 and this was discovered by going into the dongle viewer under tools in the jJAWS submenu. I had updated to JAWS 11 cconifirmed this with the dongle viewer and days later I was suddenly into forty minute mode. After checking the dongle viewer I discovered the dongle reverted back to JAWS 9. This has occurred using a PC (XP) as well as using a laptop. The laptop was weird in that if I used the docking station I had full access JAWS 11. If I took the laptop off the docking station I had only forty minute mode and the dongle was not recognized. I unfortunately did not at that time check the authorization of the dongle via the dongle viewer while the laptop was in the docking station or when it was out of the docking station. The I did contact FS and we went through a few hours of tech support and we did check the dogle at that time and it did state JAWS 11 while in both states. The end result was it could not be figured out so I had the laptop re-built and re-installed JAWS 9. So all of this to let you know that weird things are happening with the Aughorization of JAWS and no one can seem to re-produce the problems or fix the problems if they have occurred. Yesterday I had a dongle that was updated to JAWS 11 last week and this week I had to update it to JAWS 11 as it some how lost its update information. Weird or what!!

Re: [JAWS-Users] remote desktop
The problem for Jaws is that when a screen is sent from the server it is nothing but an image. A picture of what the screen should look like. Jaws does not parse an image of the screen for its information, it identifies the controls information to determine what is there and what the text is. The server would need to have a version of jaws on it which the remote computer interacts with. Similarly, the server registers keystrokes and mouse movements to determine how the remote computer is interacting with the application on the server. Without JAWS on the server it has no use for the JAWS keystrokes we use to navigate and read and therefore can't know what you are doing to it. - Original Message - From: David d.saga...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2010 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] remote desktop Hmmm.the computer is a dedicated server and i don't think i could put jaws on it.

Sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention to the beginning of this thread and don't know or remember exactly what it is you need to do. Some server applications like Network Outlook don't need a server side JAWS but if the application is running on the machine and assuming it isn't a thin client application like Cytrix ... You need a special network access version of jaws on the server and I think on the remote computer. I looked into this several years ago and forget some of the details.

A picture of what the screen should look like. Jaws does not parse an image of the screen for its information, it identifies the controls information to determine what is there and what the text is. The server would need to have a version of jaws on it which the remote computer interacts with. Similarly, the server registers keystrokes and mouse movements to determine how the remote computer is interacting with the application on the server. Without JAWS on the server it has no use for the JAWS keystrokes we use to navigate and read and therefore can't know what you are doing to it. - Original Message - From: David d.saga...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2010 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] remote desktop Hmmm.the computer is a dedicated server and i don't think i could put jaws on it.

So, those of you who do not use cheques, do you carry large amounts of cash?

I paid him something like $225 two weeks ago to bring me a small load of sand and to remove a couple of tons of debris from my lawn.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Check writing software.
I too use the duplicate cheques but I don't write them. There aren't many businesses who take cheques any more of course but on-line banking which I also use does not cover every situation. I have accounts at a few businesses around town and I like to pay them by cheque rather than charge card or debit card. they offer me account services and they send me a bill. I don't see any reason why they should have to pay the banks for offering me that convenience. I would like it if they would offer me a discount for their saving but I consider it part of the cost of convenience. I have been able to occasionally pay by cheque rather than credit card for the bank discount in some situations, particularly large purchases. The vendor can give me 4 or 5% discount and there is also some tax saving to me without costing the vendor anything, it is just money he doesn't pay the card people. Not all merchants will do that. I saved a couple of hundred bucks on a bed a few years ago, enough to hang new curtains and a spread with some change. Don't think either of my banks offer raised line cheques.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and C cleaner?
Thanks Lennie, Trouble with cookies is most of the time I haven't got the foggiest idea what they are. The names often don't tell me anything. I may however just leave the cookies behind. Just for the information of the list, I purchased and downloaded a programme called RegCure. It claims to repair registry inaccuracies, pointers to .dll files which are incorrect and numerous other things. This computer isn't always behaving well and I thought to try fixing it up, the programme is highly rated. Unfortunately there is no way to get the authorization key into it. The customer service admitted the programme is inaccessible but did offer a remote session for fifty bucks to do it for me. - Original Message - From: Lennie lenni...@mchsi.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and C cleaner?

Re: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and jaws 11 start up
Is this likely to be a JAWS issue or more likely a IE8 problem. I have been assuming IE8 because of the messages I get from Windows. In fact, although I do have SMAs to include Jaws 11, I only ever upgraded from JAWS9 on my computer at work and now that I am retired no longer using that machine. Apart from this IE problem I have been satisfied with 9 and actually JAWS 7 seems to be doing just fine on the computer my wife uses. In fact, if I need to do any serious shopping on Sites I know to crash I go to that computer. It was a cheapy bought when one of mine suffered a hard disk crash running XP Home and for what ever reasons, IE8 never found its way onto that machine. I am pretty sure it is an IE8/Vista problem and probably some corruption of IE. It doesn't appear though in the Control panel so I don't know how to remove it and go back. If no one else is having this trouble then it has to be a local computer issue doesn't? If anyone else is having such issues I would be pleased to hear about it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Free Area Code Search
Surely though the purpose of JAWS is to give us access to the Web including services like google, whitepages and so on. I continue to voice the view that energies would be better spent on pressuring Web masters to create accessible pages. The alternative is this unreliable service. it is unavoidable for the reasons you give. Surely the philosophy should be equity of accessibility, not alternate accessibility which continues to demonstrate unreliability. I'll drop this now before I cross the line about product criticism. Moderators are sensitive about that. Thanks. Dale Leavens. - Original Message - From: john R.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws won't appear on system tray.
Did you uninstall version 10? If not there are probably two shortcuts on your Desktop which you can get to with Windows+M and cycle through with first key navigation (J). The properties of each shortcut will show where they point. You can set up a unique shortcut for each version, I have done this in the past when moving up to newer versions of Jaws if for no other reason than to determine which I prefer for which tasks. You may wish to uninstall 11 and then reinstall it, perhaps something has gone wrong with that install. - Original Message - From: Doug Leavens df.leav...@shaw.ca To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 4:14 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws won't appear on system tray. running jfw 11.latest update, win xp sp3.

[JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer keeps failing and shutting down, any ideas to help?
Page after page Internet Explorer fails. Often it is the error on Web page, sometimes it seems to be nothing, sometimes it happens with a redirect to the pay for pages of a shopping site.It is often difficult to know what is wrong because jaws locks up. If left long enough Jaws may come back, I have though left it over night and had to power down and restart to get it back, I don't know what happens there. If I am really patient when Jaws goes quiet and remember not to touch a navigation key it is more likely to come back and tell me that things went south due to an error on the page. I haven't updated from Jaws 9 on this machine running vista and IE 8. a bunch. Jaws 7 on my wife's XP Home machine and IE 7 seems to handle the same pages well. I notice a load of private browsing and other features in this new Internet Explorer I wonder if that is the issue. I went to the control panel to see if I could uninstall IE 8, a method which used to return to an earlier version of IE but that doesn't seem to be there under Vista. Does anyone know if this is an Internet Explorer new feature, some odd combination with Jaws, both, neither, some setting I haven't stumbled on or any other idea how to improve this behaviour? This just is not useful. One way or another I have purchased at least 5 full Jaws packages over the past decade along with several SMAs, it is frustrating not to have a seamless browsing experience.

[JAWS-Users] Internet explorer failure help needede.
Good morning, I am using Jaws 9.021 something having not bothered to upgrade for various reasons under Vista. Internet explorer 8. I try to keep up with all the updates. I am having increasing trouble with Internet Explorer vomiting on Web pages. Message after message about a problem with the Web page and offering to close the page. There isn't really an alternative and sometimes I have to go to the Jaws cursor and use the left mouse click to close the page after which I am informed that the tab was recovered. Only occasionally is this successful though, more often we repeat this error three times then IE closes down. Generally speech is lost while IE is struggling so I can't tell what is going on. Rebooting the computer doesn't seem to help. Does anyone know what might be going on? It seems to be getting worse. Thanks for any assistance with this issue.

Re: [JAWS-Users] question about upgrading IE and jaws.
Hi Mich, I don't think that Web page not found issue is an IE problem. I seem to be having a lot of that trouble here on a two year old Vista machine with Jaws 9 and IE but I don't seem to be having the same trouble with a much older XP machine at work, mind you I don't do anything like as much browsing at work. This seems to be recent, a couple of months recent and I am also finding that Jaws seems to lock up and I have to just push the power button to kill and restart the computer. This is almost exclusively while on the Web. I also get a lot of those failure messages and when I close the tab IE reports there was an error on the page and the tab is recovered. Sometimes this recovery fails and we go around again maybe several times. I have an impression it is something to do with how Java Script is being handled but I don't really have much proof for it. Jaws may have something to do with it too because sometimes I get an Unknown script to say line or next line or what ever as I try to manipulate the arrow keys to figure out what might be on the screen. What I am saying is that the upgrades may be of value but they may not solve those problems you are having. - Original Message - From: Mich m...@ntl.sympatico.ca To: jaws-users-list @jaws-users.com jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2010 1:27 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] question about upgrading IE and jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi Hans, I am using Jaws 9 on this computer but it doesn't work like that here for me. First letter navigation works but immediately I am thrown out of the box to some other part of the page without the selection being read. For example I wanted to select Toronto. Toledo was the first 'T', it was selected once I turned Forms Mode off and relocated the box. Hit enter again to get back into Forms Mode and hit 'T' again and off focus goes somewhere else. Turning off forms Mode again and relocating the combo box confirmed that Toronto had been selected. then down to the next box to select Buffalo Airport or at least discover it it is an option. As it turns out it is an option but the second one so again another round into and out of forms mode. I do have Jaws 11 but have only installed it on my work computer. The joys of Jaws 11 come with composing documents and spell checking MS-Word 2003. Ultimately things just go silent, I cannot close jaws, cannot save my work and close Word, mostly the keyboard stops working or if it doesn't the computer stops talking so I can't tell what the keyboard response is. Only resolution is to hit the power button. Since Jaws 11 comes up as the default I often forget when working in Word to close it and load Jaws 9. Sometimes I become aware that something isn't keeping up with me as I type, I get the occasional beep from the computer as if I hit two keys simultaneously. When this begins to happen it reminds me to save my work, kill Jaws and bring back Jaws 9 and all goes well. I am conflicted about replacing 9 with 11 on this machine not sure of the advantages.

I have visited the webpage that you linked to, and have tryed out the combo boxes there, and there are two different ways to work, whether you are using Jaws 10 - 11, or earlyer version's. Well, if someone have disabled the autoforms mode in Jaws 10 - 11, than it work's just as in the earlyer version's. So let me begin with the older versions: When getting to a combobox, press enter, to activate the forms mode. Than press alt+down arrow to open the listbox, and then arrow down through the combobox. You can also use first letter to jump to a particular letter, and than use the arrow key's to find what you are searching for. Now press alt+up arrow, to close the listbox, and often the webpage automatically click's here, otherwise, tab to a button that can be named go or search or something else, and press enter here. On webpage's where there are multiple of comboboxes, you sirtainly need's to make your selection's in any one, before selecting the go/search ... button. When you have activated the form's mode in the earlyer version's of Jaws, you only can tab through the fields on the page, and if you want to read anything of the text information between the field's, you must press the pc cursor bbutton, to leave the forms mode, and come back to the virtual cursor. When you then again meet's a combobox, you must again activate the forms mode, by pressing enter. In Jaws 10 - 11 there are an automatic forms mode, that gives a sound, when the cursor are placed on a combobox. Here just press spacebar, to select the combobox, and than alt+down arrow, and just continue as described above. When there are pressed alt+up arrow to close the listbox, the combobox automatically are left, and you can continue to arrow down the page, or tab, just as you want your self.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading a scanned pdf file with Jaws
K1000 will not open that file directly because it is a picture of a page of text. This is always confusing to people. Text which is saved in any sort of representation of letters is convertible from one type to another because one way or another each letter, each character is represented by a computer number but a scanned image is just 1s or 0s representing more or less shading density in particular places on a screen or paper. The easiest way to do what you want is to open the file with Adobe Reader. Then go to the ILE menu of Adobe Reader and select the print option. Select the Keisyvirtual printer. This will send the image to the scanning function of K1000 which will open and attempt to recognize the image and translate it into text and then present it to you.

[JAWS-Users] New skype?
Good morning list. I am presently running Skype 3.80180, think I downloaded it some time last spring. I have another update message today, wondered about the advantages and more, what about scripts. What I have now are scripts for 3.5 and while they do give pretty good access, Skype remains an awkward programme for the occasional user as I am. What ever the case, I am interested in hearing about preferred versions and their appropriate scripts. I suppose Freedom Scientific doesn't follow Skype because of the rapid change history, I would guess that Skype is amount the most widely used programmes by the blind and if their numbers are accurate there are millions on line at pretty well any time I look.

Re: [JAWS-Users] New skype?
Thanks for the offer, think I will wait until the tutorial is finalized. I don't see any way to make that happen any more. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
Well, none of the offered methods have worked for me. Another odd thing is that I don't see where to download the update on the site. I thought I had it but nothing happened. Is there any particular reason why, after all these versions they haven't decided to make the base version a standard Windows application?

I know this doesn't deal with jaws, but its just something, as an aspiring author and all, I thought I should share with you all. enjoy, and u can remove me if u wish... I don't care. Diary of a firework. By Robert Kingett. Saturday, July 04, 2009 Sigh. I'm bored. No, in fact, I am far beyond bored. What to do what to do. I'm this tiny box now just sitting here like I'm waiting for jerry Springer to come on or something. It's so depressing and dark in here. I'm thirsty. Okay. I'm bored. I'm going to go nap. Okay. I am awake now. God. My brother won't stay still here in this box of mine. When I'm looking up interesting things, like how our kind were originally made in ancient China for example, do you know what he does? Shifts the box. I swear! He shifts it so much that it nearly topples off the shelf. Hey! I yell at him. I'm learning here! Go get snuffed. He tells me. I hate siblings. Well, about this time my dark home is moving. its being loaded into something that smells like an old room. Dusty and hot. Now I am being bounced like nuts. My bro, like the evident sparkler that he is, is having a blast. He's an idiot. I don't like this, but I guess I can endure it for a little while. Oh dear god! My bro is talking about getting lit. I swear. He daydreams too much. That never happens. I heard the helicopters however, saying that it's the first step on a road to a different world. The bottle rockets are of no huge help when I want to talk to someone. All they want to do is go boom. Sigh. Am I the only one with a brain here? I've been trying to figure out what I am. All the adults say I am something special, that I will bring joy into people's hearts on one day of the year. I think they have all been snuffed out too long, not to mention drenched in water. I'm sure, like my family, I am nothing more than a sparkler. My dad agrees with my mom, and they keep talking about me like I'm some great thing or something. I'm not. I mean, in school, when the big ball was talking about how it's our destiny to be lighten up, at one point in our lives, I was daydreaming about this totally awesome pink named. A. but see, his families are all something called ASSORTMENTS. I don't know what that means, but my mom said it was very unusual, and socially unacceptable. ASSORTMENTS don't know how to let up! My mom practically shouted when I asked her. And they are just so confusing with all those beings in one box. Dear me! She got so distressed that she started to smoke. The truck has stopped, and now my home is being lifted out and placed on a shelf where I hear people all about walking past. I want to say hi, but I don't think my spark looks good. I spent like 6 minutes in the bathroom today trying to get my color just right. G! my mom yelled at me. You have been at that for about an hour! She boomed at me. Oops. I didn't know that. You act like your going to go to the show, and I will NOT, by the way, let you do that until you are an adult! I wanted so badly to go to the show. I want to do it now, so why wouldn't she let me? I mean, it's the most important time in our lives! She's so controlling. Oh my god! Guess whose box is right next to ours! Yep. A whole swoon of Aerial repeaters. God. Why did I have to be put next to popular snobs like that! Every morning I hear them talking about their sparkles! Oh my god. That glow looks like totally good on you! Oh my god! You think so? Totally! as if their voices and attitudes aren't annoying enough their little giggles and bursts of flame aren't attractive either. I want to snuff them out. Oh. my god! This totally hot Reloadable shell just gave me his box shelf! Ash! I'm dying! A Reloadable shell is like one of the most popular types of fireworks like in the whole wide world! Oh god. He asked me to spend the night in his box! Oh god! I'm so excited I'm getting hot. Dear me. What should I say? You're rather colorific? Oh god! What do I do? Um, okay. I didn't know he was of a mixed relation. His mom and dad, even though they are Aerial display tubes, are pretty awesome. Kind of sucks to hear he's adopted though. His brothers, a firecracker, and a helicopter are also adopted obviously, but wow. He's hot. And he gleams in the darkness. He lights me up all the time. Okay. Humans are gross. They want to take me home with them. I don't like humans with their plane colors and filthy hands. Oh god. My
