[JAWS-Users] Any tips on reading websites with text in graphics?

[Greg Washington]

I have been running into web pages that seem to have the text of articles in
a graphic format that I cannot get Jaws to read.  I am using latest Jaws
2018 on a computer with latest Windows 10.  Very frustrating.  Any
suggestions?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Twitter accessibility

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
If you want to use twitter from the web I would recommend using EasyChirp. It 
is an accessible online interface to twitter. It can be found at:
www.easychirp.com/ <http://www.easychirp.com/>
However most people use a twitter client on either their phone or PC to access 
it. There is Chicken Nugget, which is a paid client, and there is TWBlue which 
is free.

I agree that the level of frustration for me is getting pretty hard to take
some days. But actually, for the average sighted computer user, they tend to
pick one browser they like and they can do whatever they want on it. There's
no jumping around and spending an hour going between three browsers with one
website trying to see what will work so you can buy that one thing you want,
when a sighted person is done in ten minutes. There needs to be some
continuity here seems to me. Jmho  Judy & Libby

I hear you; sometimes I definitely feel the same. The fact that, between,
for example, VFO and Microsoft, half the time when there's some kind of
update you are crossing your fingers hoping something won't be broken
afterwards, is pretty maddening.

The reply above yours from David there says "voiceover on the mac". At first
I kind of scoffed at that. I'm not a mac user and probably never will be.
But here's the thing. As PC users, I think we are given a variety of options
and tools, and that's one of the great things about being a PC users. I used
to access the web through Telnet and a linux shell. The only browser that
would work was lynx and it couldn't display framed webpages properly. It was
a really frustrating experience back then, for sure. Then, finally, we had
Internet Explorer and netscape. Then, internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Chrome. I think the idea of the web being an entirely universal experience
is a nice dream, but still a dream. All you can do is try to make it as
close to a universal experience as you can. That's actually harder and
harder now with the number of connected devices out there. Often, it's
Microsoft that won't play along. I think we'll probably see more and more
people using Chrome, and that's probably a good thing. Just today I had to
get it up and running again and it was nice to be reminded how fast and
robust it really is. Are things complex? Yeah, definitely. But these
browsers aren't so different from one another that we can't adapt. We just
have to know what tool is appropriate for each job. If you're a carpenter,
you probably won't get very far with just a single saw in your arsenal, you
know? And rest assured, even though screen-readers do add a certain amount
of complexity to things, sighted people have to deal with this too. Let's be
glad we aren't system administrators (although maybe you are? I don't
know)that opens a whole new can o' worms, when you've got a network of
computers, all running different software and hardware, and your company
expects you to get them all to play nice with each other. 

Now maybe it's just because I have more time on my hands this year than I
used to, but 90% of the time, I enjoy the challenge and adding new tools to
the arsenal, so to speak. The only thing  that's really making me nervous
sometimes is Windows 10 updating and screwing around with my settings and
things. *grins*

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] migrating to a different web browser

I agree that it's necessary to have all three browsers installed, but this
increasing complexity is a little nuts. People are suggesting that we should
also have the two screenreaders, JAWS and NVDA, on board, which I do. But
that means we may need to try six combinations before we can access certain
websites. Then there's the question of which version of JAWS will work. 

To give an example, a certain website I use is accessible to IE11, but it
moves painfully slowly after the log-in page. Chrome gets to this page right
away, but later there's a critical page on this same website that Chrome
can't even open. 

For a while, I was trying to access this website with Firefox, but Firefox
couldn't locate the edit fields for the username and password fields, and so
obviously I couldn't log in. Then, on a whim, I switched from JAWS 2018 and
18, which I already need to alternate between, to JAWS 17. Lo and behold,
the edit fields appeared. After that, Firefox and JAWS 17 seem to move
seamlessly through the entire website. 

This is a website that requires logging in to test, which is why I'm not
posting the address. 

The amount of time and distraction involved for screenreader users in
working on the Web lately is getting ludicrous. Maybe VFO's efforts to work

Greg,

Nope. 2007 is exactly the same. You still need to tab around a lot and if 
you invoke a second sort column using the Add sort button, you need to use 
the JAWS cursor to find that combo box to get things moving on that column.

You need to select all of your data, including the column headings.

for the columns of data, or if it is actual data.  If you have column

Again, JAWS is not always cooperative with reading this information.



--There should be another set of 3 combo/list boxes that will allow you to
select the second column you want to use for your sort, as well as its

Hello,
It sounds like your computer is trying to do an update and that is why you 
won’t hear JAWS after you either restart or shut it down and then turn it on 
again. Eventually JAWS will speak again but you have to give it a some time 
before it does. To see those notifications dow a windows key plus A and you 
will land in the notifications area where you can tab around to the different

Does Jaws work well with the latest Surface Pro?  If so does the latest Jaws
2018 work well with it?  If not which version works best?

Thanks,

Theoretically, the three major browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome) are fully 
compatible with JAWS, and now JAWS 2018 and 18 with latest updates are starting 
to provide Edje support. That last support is currently very unstable.
Personally, despite the Firefox Quantum disaster that I hope Mozilla will fix 
soon, I find that the browser which offers, in conjunction, the best navigation 
experience with JAWS is Firefox. Chrome would be the second, but there are 
important Chrome issues handling edit boxes, especially on ritch text edit 
controls. The advantage of using IE is that it is the core used by JAWS support 
for virtual documents, so text selection and copying with Virtual PC cursor 
work better than in other browsers.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem with shortcut key for Jaws

Thanks for the suggestion.  I was trying to recall the command to enter so
this was right on time.  Because unfortunately resetting the shortcut key
doesn't work in all situations.  I especially have a problem with the
shortcut key when switching back and forth from Jaws17 to Jaws2018 since
Jaws2018 doesn't seem to work most of the time with my version of Quicken

Hi Greg,
That happens with me on windows7 and windows10 as well.
What I do if the hotkey doesn't work is hitting windows key plus R,
Then I type "jaws2018" and hit inter, and jaws would start.
That applies with older versions of jaws like type jaws18 or jaws17,
just make sure no spaces between jaws and the version number.
hope it helps.

Mitch,
Thanks.  I went into properties for Jaws 2018 and deleted the hot key I had
set.  I then exited out of properties and then reopened it and set the hot
key to control+alt+9.  I then exited out of properties.  The hot key worked
then twice in a row afterI closed Jaws down.  I shut down the computer and
restarted it and the hot key still worked the first time I tried it.  Let's

I think you're kind of stuck. Quicken changed its file format from .QIF to
.QFX around 2004 or 2005. Below is a link to Quicken that explains the
conversion but it doesn't work with Windows 10.

https://www.quicken.com/support/how-and-when-use-intermediate-version-conver
t-older-versions-quicken

You can do a Google search on 'QIF to QFX Converters' and you will find
several companies that offer converters in about the $40 range. Or, if you
can find a Windows 7 or8 computer, make the conversion per Quicken, and then
transfer the QFX file to your current computer. Or, you could download your
checking account from as far back as your bank allows and use Quicken 2015
on a going forward basis. Choose your medicine.

Sorry I couldn't be more up-beat.

Take care,
Russ

For single page view in the American English version, make sure you're in

Actually, if your menu is like mine, you will land on the "single  page

Hi Greg,

When you early said that the hotkeys I mentioned didn't work for you, I 
thought that you were viewing the document directly in the web browser. 
However, now that you say that the document is saved in Downloads, you may 
be opening the document with other program instead of Adobe's one by 
default.
If you're sure to be using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Adobe Reader, perhaps 
the document was configured to display pages in a special way. In this case, 
in the View menu, find a sub menu related to pages view (not page 
navigation) and select Single Page View. I can't give you the exact sub menu 
name because I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in Spanish and, unlike Microsoft, 
Adobe hasn't a repository in which to find exact string equivalences and, 
although there's an option in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC preferences to change 
UI language, it seem that language packs are only available for enterprises 
or some kind of subscription.
Regarding search in a PDF document, it is done in the way Adrian explained. 
However, since Adobe's products by default do not render the whole documents 
to screen readers to avoid excessive RAM and CPU usage, for this to work in 
the whole document, you first have to press CTRL+SHIFT+5 and, in the dialog 
which opens, tab to the group of radio buttons and select to read the entire 
document. When okaying this dialog, the document will start to prepare; when 
finished, the JAWS search feature will work for the whole document as if 
this would be a web page.
Finally, in the Reading preferences category Brian indicated, you can 
change, Ammon others, the options which appear in the CTRL+SHIFT+5 dialog, 
but permanently for all documents. Unless you understand what you're doing, 
I would'nt recommend to change options here. I personally like to render 
documents one page at a time even when they're not big (by default documents 
with less than 50 pages are rendered entirely, and with 50 or more one page 
at a time; you can change the limit for this consideration as big or small, 
or turn this calculation completely off) and with single page view despite 
the one set in each document.

Hope it helps somewhat.

For single page view in the American English version, make sure you're in the 
Adobe/Acrobat window, press alt-v for view, then arrow down to "Page display 
submenu." Press enter and arrow down to "single page view." Actually, if your 
menu is like mine, you will land on the "single  page view" option on opening 
this submenu. Press enter.

Hi Greg,

When you early said that the hotkeys I mentioned didn't work for you, I thought 
that you were viewing the document directly in the web browser. However, now 
that you say that the document is saved in Downloads, you may be opening the 
document with other program instead of Adobe's one by default.
If you're sure to be using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Adobe Reader, perhaps the 
document was configured to display pages in a special way. In this case, in the 
View menu, find a sub menu related to pages view (not page navigation) and 
select Single Page View. I can't give you the exact sub menu name because I use 
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in Spanish and, unlike Microsoft, Adobe hasn't a 
repository in which to find exact string equivalences and, although there's an 
option in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC preferences to change UI language, it seem 
that language packs are only available for enterprises or some kind of 
subscription.
Regarding search in a PDF document, it is done in the way Adrian explained. 
However, since Adobe's products by default do not render the whole documents to 
screen readers to avoid excessive RAM and CPU usage, for this to work in the 
whole document, you first have to press CTRL+SHIFT+5 and, in the dialog which 
opens, tab to the group of radio buttons and select to read the entire 
document. When okaying this dialog, the document will start to prepare; when 
finished, the JAWS search feature will work for the whole document as if this 
would be a web page.
Finally, in the Reading preferences category Brian indicated, you can change, 
Ammon others, the options which appear in the CTRL+SHIFT+5 dialog, but 
permanently for all documents. Unless you understand what you're doing, I 
would'nt recommend to change options here. I personally like to render 
documents one page at a time even when they're not big (by default documents 
with less than 50 pages are rendered entirely, and with 50 or more one page at 
a time; you can change the limit for this consideration as big or small, or 
turn this calculation completely off) and with single page view despite the one 
set in each document.

Hope it helps somewhat.

If you're opening it in the internet temp folder, then I don't think it'll read 
past that, I think it's a security issue.

Try saving the PDF document to your hard drive, into your downloads folder, and 
open the PDF from there.

This should fix it I think, especially if my assessment is what I think it is.

Greg,

I'm sure you're right. To the extent I understand anything about PDF files, 
they need to be properly tagged. What I do in order to get the information I 
need from untagged financial statements is to figure out what exactly that is. 
Typically, it's the amount due and the list of transactions, if any. I go 
directly to the amount due by searching for the $ dollar sign. 

If I want to read the transactions, I search for a portion of a date. For 
example, if the statement has a closing date in mid-September, I'll search for 
the two characters 9/ Since the most recent, and therefore top, transaction 
probably occurred in September. Naturally if 9/ doesn't work, I substitute 8/. 

Note. To search in a PDF document, press JAWS key+control+f. 

I realize this is a workaround, but perhaps it's helpful.

Hello Greg,

You might want to check preferences by using CTRL K.  Pick the Reading category 
from the list of categories.  When you tab a few times you will find "page VS 
document" and make sure it is set to "Read entire document."  You might also go 
under the accessibility category of options and make sure "enable assistive 
technology support" is checked.  If you make changes in the preferences you 
should probably close the program and open it again.  

Take care.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a pdf document

Greg,

I'm sure you're right. To the extent I understand anything about PDF files, 
they need to be properly tagged. What I do in order to get the information I 
need from untagged financial statements is to figure out what exactly that 
is. Typically, it's the amount due and the list of transactions, if any. I 
go directly to the amount due by searching for the $ dollar sign.

If I want to read the transactions, I search for a portion of a date. For 
example, if the statement has a closing date in mid-September, I'll search 
for the two characters
9/
Since the most recent, and therefore top, transaction probably occurred in 
September. Naturally if 9/ doesn't work, I substitute 8/.

Note. To search in a PDF document, press JAWS key+control+f.

I realize this is a workaround, but perhaps it's helpful.

Thanks so much for responding.  Unfortunately neither Control+page down or

Tom,

Try one method for creating links and another for clicking on links, as
follows:

When adding a link to a message, be sure to press the return key right after
the link's last character. I believe Miriam made this suggestion yesterday,
and I've been doing it for a long time. Links are not shown as links without
the return character at the end.

When trying to open a link, right-arrow over the link's first character
before pressing enter. I've found that Outlook fluctuates between this extra
step being needed and not needed, though why it should be is beyond me.

Separately, I'd be interested to know if Fernando's suggestion works for
you. I hope you'll post the result.

Hello,
I am looking for opinions about laptop brands.  I know there isn't one
perfect answer to this but I do value the opinions and experiences of
others.  I want to purchase a Windows 10 laptop.  Here are my
questions;
1.  Which brand would you recommend? Why?
2.  What brand would you totally avoid? Why??
3.  Since I use Jaws, would it be better to purchase a system off the
shelf or have one custom built?  I have had them custom built before
because I didn't want all of the games and extra unaccessible programs
taking up space.

These will do for a start.
Thanks for your input!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Boy, Jarte is a great accessible word processor!

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,

When using Jart you need to be aware that it does not allow you to 
navigate thru tables like you can in word. Tables will not be layed out 
like they are in word. This is due to the backend engine that Jart uses 
for its text. It uses the same engine as wordpad. In Jart you will not 
be able to use control plus alt plus the arrow keys to navigate tables. 
If you do not need to worry about this then yes Jart is a good 
alternative word processor to use.

I owe you a great and hardy "Thank you" for telling us about Jarte!  It is
just what I always wanted, a nice easy word processor that is fully
compatible with JAWS.  It was easy to download and install.  Folks will find
it to have a very familiar feel, and it is easy to explore the menus and
find all the features, everything I want, a few nice extras, but not as much
of the wild stuff the Microsoft Word program has.  It also has a nice
regular old menu system.

So for those who did not notice his post, please consider Jarte.  I can
already tell that I will use it a lot, perhaps as my default word processor.
It is certainly the solution for those who have only WordPad.

A post-installation note.  When you first launch the program for the purpose
of real work, watch for the following.  When you first go to open your file
list, the old familiar control + o key, you need to set the file type.  By
default, it is set to RTF only, meaning that when you tab to the file list,
you will see only the folders, and only those files that are in RTF format.


Instead, tab to the file type field, and Arrow down to the format you want
to see in the file list, or arrow down to the bottom, about 5 times, to the
all-format view.  Whatever format option you choose, just press enter.
Then, just do the shift tab a couple of times and there is the list of all
folders, and depending upon your file type selection discussed above, your
list of files.  If you do not do this step, you will see only the list of
folders, if any, and only RTF files, if any, in the folder.  I assume there
is a way to set the default file type, but I have not learned that much yet,
and for beginners of Jarte, it is probably best to just check the file type
box each time, or you will be greatly confused wondering where your files
and folders are!


I put in below the link to the Jarte web page that contains the description
of features.  On that same page is also the download link.  The installation
file you download is small, less than 4 mb.  Installation was completely
perfect and easy, both for accessibility and for clarity.

The link is below, just past my name.  Thanks again Andy!

Re: [JAWS-Users] troubleshooting network connection

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
First in your system tray on the desktop is an indicator of your network. This 
indicator will tell you the status of your network. Usually if you hit enter on 
it it will take you to a dialog where you can see things like different 
wireless networks and whether or not your wifi is on. Sometimes I have noticed 
that my computer will turn on Airplane mode seemingly on its own. In this 
dialog make sure airplane mode is not on and your wifi is. Also somecomputers 
actually have a switch on the outside that turns the wifi on and off on the 
computer. This switch can be activated accidentally. Also some computers have a 
keystroke invoked with one of the function keys that will turn your wifi off 
and on. Hitting this combination may have turned off your wifi. Hopefully these 
will help the next time it happens.

Hi

In my opinion, the most accessible version of Quicken for Windows using JAWS
was Quicken 2003.  I have had to upgrade to a new version of Quicken every
three years because I download some transactions, and you can only do that
with any version for three years.  I am currently using Quicken 2015.  Every
time I have upgraded quicken, I find the new version to be less accessible
than the previous version.  I have extensively modified the scripts for
Quicken 2003 for each time I have upgraded.  Although the modified scripts
have been good enough for me, I don't consider them ready for public
consumption.

I believe that the BlindSpot effort with Intuit mainly focused on QuickBooks
and not Quicken.  Also, it's my understanding that Quicken has now split off
from Intuit into its own company.

Thanks.  I did just uninstall Quicken 2003 yesterday and then reinstalled it
on my Windows 10 machine.  It seems to be working OK but I get that user
account popup now whenever I open it.  I click on yes and it seems to be
working OK.  Jaws 17 works OK on it but Jaws 18 does not.

I have Quicken 2003, and the most successful version of JAWS is 15. They
changed something in JAWS 16 and above to work with newer versions of
Quicken so whenever I need to I revert back to 15 to do my banking. Note: I
have not installed 2003 on a 32 bit version of windows beyond 7, but I can

I have the Quicken scripts from jaws 15 which work well with 2003. Honestly
I have not tried them on another system as of yet but I see no reason that
they wouldn't work properly.

[JAWS-Users] Amazon.com

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
What kinds of issues are you having? I shop with Amazon all the time with out 
any real difficulties. The only issues I have really had are with leaving 
reviews. I did just about all of my holiday shopping here. I use JAWS18 with 
either the latest version of Firefox or Google Chrome.

Regards,
Greg WocherHi everyone!

Does anyone else here shop at amazon.com? I am frequently presented with 
accessibility challenges on their main site and often find that their 
supposedly screen reader optimized site suffers from the same accessibility 
challenges, making it hardly worth bothering with.

I'm asking hoping some people have found ways, or scripts, or other tools that 
make amazon.com more accessible.

I complain to them all the time about their accessibility problems and always 
get some boiler plate response that they take accessibility of their site 
seriously but nothing ever changes, or it just gets worse.

Cheers!

[JAWS-Users] Problem with new Vocalizer voices

[Greg Wocher]

Hello all,

I am running into an issue with the new vocalizer voices. After 
installing the compact voices, Nathan does not appear to be installed. 
The only way I am able to get Nathan is by installing the premium 
version of the voice. I have also noticed that there is a problem with 
the Karen compact Austrailian voice. When I arrow to her in the list of 
voices she does not pronounce the K in her name. It ends up sounding 
like she is saying Aren instead of Karen. Also she seems to be having 
issues with the letter C as well. has anyone else noticed these issues? 
I have experienced these on two different laptops running Windows10.



Regards,

Greg Wocher

Hi Greg,
I got these notes from a class I took about Excel at Hadley Institute.  I
hope it's what you're looking for.

FORMATTING CELLS FOR SPECIFIC DATA:
1.   Line up on the cell you want to format.
2.  Press the Applications key and look for  the Format option.
3.  The display starts with Number and you tab to the settings.
The next option is the type of data for that cell.  It includes General,
Numbers, Currency.  
If Currency is chosen, the next option is number of decimal points.
Next is the choice of mark.  I chose Dollar.
4.  There's a Negative Number option which was skipped.  
5.  Finally, move to the Okay and press Enter.
Once a cell has been formatted, you can copy that information, highlight the
other cells in the column and press Control V which pastes the same
formatting into the other cells in that column.

David,

I have seen many responses to your earlier message and wanted to add my own.
Every time I have a Jaws issue, I try to find the answer here.  This is a
good list and a very helpful one.

I'm sure that you are getting tired of it after all of these years but don't
give up on us, David.  I, for one, need a resource for serious helpful
information about Jaws.



Finally, perhaps one explanation of why the list is quiet is that Jaws is
behaving itself for the most part.  However, Jaws 18 is coming and if
Freedom runs true to form, there are bound to be glitches, bugs and errors

Re: [JAWS-Users] Need format cells command in Excell 2010

Thanks.  I didn't think about the application key.  No, I didn't want to
format an entire worksheet.

Shift plus control plus f works too.  You can format cells individually.
You can also use the applications key to format cells.  
Are you wanting to format an entire worksheet?  I have no answer for that
one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] The Task manager is broken in the anniversary update

Hello,

Make sure you tab to the more details button and press it. Once you do 
this you should be able to control tab to the different areas of the 
task manager. I had to do this after upgrading to the anniversary build.

Adrian,
Thanks for this.  I will try the suggestions I have received before
returning the computer.

Let me reinforce what both Mike and Maria have said. Windows Update has
suddenly become unpredictable, and I also had an inexplicable experience
with the character/word key echo feature. Regarding Mike's suggestion for
Windows Update, mine is different, but I'd follow his recommendation.
Regarding key echo, I found, as Maria posted, that I had to change the
setting in the insert-v JAWS quick settings for every application I run. I
also made the change Mike described in the insert-6 JAWS settings center,
but although it may have confirmed my insert-v settings, it wasn't enough. 

I'd try to resolve these issues before returning your computer. I'd also
keep in mind that the holiday weekend is upon us, so tomorrow will be the
last day in four that FS will take you call.

Greg,

This same thing happened to me on a reinstall of Windows 7 just the other
day.  What I did was to change my update settings to, Download updates but
let me choose whether to install them, & let the computer just sit there &
run for several hours sitting on the Desktop.  Then I went to Windows
Updates & I had almost 250 updates to be installed.  There have been
problems with the Windows updating service, which was verified by Microsoft
Accessibility.  Actually I had to let the computer run for several hours on
2 back to back days before the updates came down.

Take care.

Something else you might try is using quick settings with insert v, 
going to editing options and choosing character echo.  You'd have to do 
this with each program if it works.

Hi,
You can learn a lot about the touch cursor on the FS web site in the free 
webinars that were done on Windows 8.1. Navigating apps and using the touch 
cursor is really explained well in these webinars. Basically, you turn it on

by pressing Shift+numb pad + or Shift+Caps lock+Semi colon, with the laptop 
keyboard layout turned on in the JAWS basic dialog. When it is on, right 
arrow is like swiping right with your finger, and the left arrow is like 
swiping left. The up and down arrow, is like swiping up or down. Take care.

Whether you want touch or not, I have one here from HP and I dooubt it adds
much to the weight.  Some of the gestures do enhance the convenience.

Hello,

I am also looking for a new laptop.  I have decided that I don't really
want/need a touch screen, they add a lot of weight and are more expensive.
So, I'm going for a non-touch screen model.

I am in the market for a new computer.  I don't mind Windows 10 but am
wondering whether Jaws 17 latest works well with a touch screen laptop or
should I look for one with a non-touch screen?
Thanks,
Greg Washington

Thanks for this info.  I am not familiar with the Jaws touch cursor.  I'll
look into it.

I use a Surface with the type keyboard. JAWS touch support is a little
wonky. It, for example, is not as responsive or useful as Voiceover touch
is, but it does make some tasks a little quicker to do, e.g. touching the
bottom right of your screen to check the time. I'm actually surprised you
can even find non-touch computers these days.

Another issue I have with JAWS touch support is that, when I rely on it,
I've noticed it crashes apps and programs somewhat frequently. In short,
it's minimally useful for now, but has a ton of potential in the future,
especially if you have something like a Surface.
