Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble with BARD site
I do not believe the tablet can play bard books, therefore you got the error. It only works with authorized players listed through NLS. I don't believe the books can be played on computers and tablets. Just the bard app and the player, as well as some of the specialized players that some have used and I have not.

[JAWS-Users] question about office 2016 and demo mode
Hi all, I have been out of commission for the past while and will catch up. I got one answer to my questions about 2016 being accessible, and even looked through the archives for thunderbird help as it wasn't reading right, so nice job, guys. I searched for thunderbird through google and got what I needed. I assumed that I would get a free trial of office which came with this computer as it came with windows 10 and office 2016. I can read and provide feedback by E-mail to someone however, I can't write or use the program at all. A message I found with the mouse indicated that most features are locked until activated. I thought I would be trying for 30 days then it would lock. I don't have office 365, I don't have anything but a new windows 10 PC. So, how can I benefit from a trial if I'm granted one? I'm inquiring as well on other things to get this purchased as a subscription for me so I can keep up on the changes. I've been a long time word 2000 user, and realize I need to learn the newer products to be competitive. I found it easy to get the word count of an article i submitted, but I can't use it at all. Thanks for any help. -- Jared Rimer This address is for mailing lists. For faster service, please contact me through jaredrimer.net's contact and bug reporting form. Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Repeating tooltips
I've looked at that, but thought there was something specific to tooltips. Thanks mike, and I enjoy your signature. On 6/18/2017 15:17, Mike B. wrote: Hi Jared, Using Jaws speech history is 1 option. How it works & how to access it is explained below. Speech History By default, JAWS retains a list of the last 50 announcements that were spoken by the speech synthesizer. For users of refreshable braille displays, JAWS has always provided a mode where you could review this spoken information in braille. When this mode is active, you can use the controls on the braille display to review the last 50 announcements that have been spoken by JAWS. Speech History extends this functionality to users who rely on using speech more than braille. If you miss one or more messages spoken by JAWS, you can press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by H to open a Results Viewer window containing up to the last 50 announcements spoken by the synthesizer. When the Speech History window opens, you are placed on the line containing the most recent announcement. To clear the history, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by SHIFT+H. The history is also cleared when you lock the computer or completely log off. If you do not want JAWS to keep a history of what is spoken, do the following: 1.. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. 2.. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the default JAWS settings. 3.. In the Search edit box, type "speech history" without the quotes. 4.. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Enable Speech History in the filtered search results in the tree view. 5.. Press SPACEBAR to clear this check box. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool.

I'm happy to hear that they have a number of them.

That was my initial reason for joining the list, as I said, MSE is accessible, but seems to lack, and I was looking to change. Haven't yet since there are mixed views, and most isn't accessible, which is too bad.

I can’t read any of this with JAWS. I hate to say this, but the JAWS cursor is wortheless in this Window. NVDA reads all headings except “header text.” Again, the actual information is not read.

Re: [JAWS-Users] pc to cell text site and jaws
Mike, I took a look, and the thing about this method, at least as of late, text to email gateways only can receive so much, then it is cut off.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Acrobat DC.
Hi Judy, I think you may have gotten an answer but I have been behind. To get to the reading panel, it is in the tree view where you found accessibility settings. Go back to that tree view and use your up and down arrow keys to find it. Hoping this helps. On 6/16/2017 07:16, Judy Jones wrote: Thank you, The only things I can arrow through are those five buttons. When I hit control-K, I do see Accessibility at the top of the preferences.

Then: Always Use Zoom Setting not checked Use Document Structure For Tab Order When No Explicit Tab Order Is Specified checked Enable Assistive Technology Support checked Always Display The Keyboard Selection Cursor checked Always Use The System Selection Color not checked Show Portfolios In Files Mode not checked Then, there is an explanation of where to find the screen-reader options, which is on the reading panel,but do not know how to get to that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] antivirus question
Hi Steve, It makes sense, but when you think that the antivirus program should pick something up by scanning the zip and finding an executable that could be melicious and it says nothing is concerning to me. Also, the eicar virus checker I originally posted which topped off my question from that article, it should've picked it up on saving, and that tells you that the virus checker is working as designed. On 6/6/2017 11:54, Steve wrote: Jared, Just because it doesn't pick up anything doesn't necessarily mean it is a problem. I can assure you, you can find other anti-virus programs that will pick up lots of things -- the problem is, they pick up a lot of "false positives," meaning that you're needlessly flagging things as problems that aren't. Recall a few years ago, when one of the major commercial AV programs, I can't remember which one, was disabling one of the other screen-readers because it flagged one of its components as pernicious. So, I maintain, as do others, that Windows Defender, or MSSE, is fine along with running periodic scans with an off-line program.

I've used Trend Micro's house call tool which does scanning and updating of its engine through the download, but it seems to be only doing one drive. MSE does my whole machine, but I was curious if there was something else out there besides MSE that would be more reliable. I haven't made any changes yet, someone said I aught to install it and see, but now i'm not sure. Its sad that nobody is accessible anymore, I do practice good web habits, have read up and listen to security podcasts, and I am careful, but with the threats today, something is always needed and was looking for something that would be a bit better than my experience lately with MSE.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem with character echo
I've not had any problem looking at Tom either, and i have mine set to echo keys too. I've been thinking on why it would be an issue, and i'm on 7 64 bit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] antivirus question
Hello Steve, I want to get away from MSE because it doesn't seem to pick up anything, even if I don't download anything. Once it picked up a file as temp files and said it was something, but most of the time it says nothing. I'm on windows 7 64 bit, and was looking for something else. I've used Trend Micro's house call tool which does scanning and updating of its engine through the download, but it seems to be only doing one drive. MSE does my whole machine, but I was curious if there was something else out there besides MSE that would be more reliable. I haven't made any changes yet, someone said I aught to install it and see, but now i'm not sure. Its sad that nobody is accessible anymore, I do practice good web habits, have read up and listen to security podcasts, and I am careful, but with the threats today, something is always needed and was looking for something that would be a bit better than my experience lately with MSE. Thanks for your thoughts. On 6/4/2017 09:07, Steve wrote: Sophos isn't real accessible; you're best bet is to use Windows Defender a.k.a. Microsoft Security Essentials in earlier versions of Windows before Windows 10. Then, as a backup, use an off-line scanner to periodically run a double-check on your system along with practicing good web habits i.e. avoiding peer-to-peer sites, the dark web, and opening unknown email attachments or links. I use the Sophos Virus Removal tool, which is pretty accessible. You may need to use the Jaws Convenient OCR to update the scanning engine if you haven't used it in the past month, and you might have to also use that to initiate a scan. But, at least the results are viewable and since it isn't always running, you don't need to try to configure it to play nice with certain sites or programs. That's why I prefer Windows Defender.

Joseph, You do have a valid point today, but if it is something known, the antivirus should be able to pick it up.

Antivirus nowadays is almost worthless in terms of protecting your computer as most attacks are social in nature which trick the end user into allowing files to run on your computer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] antivirus question
OK, I'm consoled with a couple of people, and Sophos is the vote recommended to me. Is there anything i need to keep in mind on using this with Jaws? On 5/31/2017 21:53, Thomas N.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox, RSS feeds and saving files
Andrew, thanks. But My question is that is this a bug? Window-Eyes never had the issue, I should be able to navigate the headings, find the podcast I want, find its mp3 and hit the context key and select save link as.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox, RSS feeds and saving files
Hello Adrian, Yes, in firefox, the correct termonology is save link as, shortcut K. The page hasn't changed since I last used it, I just got the wrong name for it. I have always hit shift+f10 and then select the save link as, or hit k, and it always worked in Window-Eyes. Sadly, this keyboard doesn't allow me to turn off numlock, but the page always has the headings in the order of description of the show, then the first heading says the episode number under that, the show notes, then the file. Strange. On 6/1/2017 05:01, Adrian Spratt wrote: Hi, Jared. I wasn't able to get the MP3 file, either, but I'm wondering about your terminology. First, when in Firefox, I use the JAWS simulation of a mouse right-click, which is the numpad * button on the numpad's top row, just to the left of the JAWS cursor key. I find that in Firefox, it gives me more options than the applications menu. Second, when wishing to save an MP3 or other file, I look for "Save target as..." It seems to me that you got the correct item when you clicked on "Save the link as..." That is, you were able to save the link. However, I found no "Save target as" option in this right-click menu, which implies that saving the MP3 file is no longer an option on this website. So I'm wondering if the website has changed since you last used it with WindowEyes. Note that the heading you list isn't on the page, but I eventually found one that sort of resembles it, and there was an MP3 link under it. This was the link I tested. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jared Rimer Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2017 12:53 AM To: JAWS-Users-List@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] firefox, RSS feeds and saving files Hi all, I have never had this problem with Window-Eyes, but I have this problem with Jaws, and it baffles me.
