Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
This is very interesting. I am using Jaws 2018 with Word 2016, but I am using Office 365 version, so there could be incremental updates to the spell checker. When pressing F7, Jaws says the misspelled word, I can then tab to Read Sentence, and finally, a list of suggestions is shown, along with synonyms, just so that you can make sure you are choosing the correct word. You can use up and down arros to navigate the list of suggestions. Then, after pressing enter, the next misspelled word is spoken, and I can just tab to the list of choices again. I find it to be a very seamless experience, and a vast improvement over the spell check in Office 2013.

Re: [JAWS-Users] GodMode and Windows 10 Folder Title / Name ReadingProblems
I am not sure, I had this exact same issue, the folder would show up, but not have a folder name.

But, if you open the folder what ever I've named this folder can be read with the, Alt + D, address bar keystroke, and all the Windows control panels are there.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com and screen readers
Here's why I had found that Amazon phone number to be helpful. For several weeks I had been attempting to purchase a single edition of a newspaper from the site. The radio buttons were such that they would trigger prematurely, causing me to purchase the incorrect edition. For three weeks, I called that number, requested a refund for having purchased the wrong newspaper, explained the problem as best I could, and politely suggested, please please, this problem must be fixed. It was fixed after my repeated phone calls.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 2018 and OCR Results
Just having installed Jaws 2018, Windows 10 Creators Edition, I had a problem both with the built in scanning feature, and with an image based PDF. Using Insert Space, followed by O, followed by A, the scanner choices came up, the scanner scanned a page, and the virtual viewer came up on the screen. Jaws indicated that the page was right side up. I was informed that the text was there visually, and the virtual cursor was active, but Jaws indicated, blank, blank, blank when trying to read the content. The exact same thing happened when I requested Jaws to recognize an image based PDF, the text was apparently visual on screen, but not read by Jaws using any cursor at all, just blank, blank, blank.. Any suggestions for this strange behavior? Thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Edge
I must respectfully suggest that if you do have the option of updating Word 2016 to the very latest version, the choices in the spell check dialog are now accessed by simply pressing the tab key, and it works very very well. It is highly accessible, I am an office 365 subscriber, so that is how I was able to get the latest update. I am unsure about installations of Office that are not on a 365 subscription, but I believe that you can go to the Accounts tab under the file tab and attempt to check for updates. I completely acknowledge the hideous situation with the Edge browser, but I believe that Microsoft has been pretty transparent in making their plans known to incrementally improve accessibility of their Windows and Office products.

Re: [JAWS-Users] kendle for pc
This is with the very latest Jaws 18 update, from the Freedom Scientific Page. Amazon Kindle App Support JAWS now supports reading books in Amazon's Kindle for PC app version 1.19 and later. This enables users to access books purchased through the Amazon Kindle store right on their Windows PC using both speech and braille. Books can be navigated using all standard reading commands including reading by character, word, line, paragraph, and continuously with Say All. As JAWS reads, pages turn automatically so you can enjoy a book without interruption. JAWS can only access Kindle books that support Enhanced Typesetting. The product details for the book on the Amazon web site indicates if Enhanced Typesetting is enabled. This exposes the necessary information to screen readers and provides access to the book content. Tip: Pressing CTRL+HOME or CTRL+END while reading a Kindle book moves to the top or bottom of the current page instead of the top or bottom of the document as in other applications. To move to the beginning or end of the book, you can use the Go to Location dialog box which is accessed using the Kindle command CTRL+G.

This is all outdated. You do not need a plug in of any kind to use Kindle for PC with Jaws 18. Just download the Kindle for PC app, and all of your Kindle content will be accessible with Jaws out of the box.

Re: [JAWS-Users] opening up emails
This happens to me all the time in Outlook 2016, very irritating, Jaws will start to read the message, then announce the number of links in the middle of the message, and either continue reading or start from the beginning. This has to be the most annoying, irritating disruptive behavior I have ever experienced with Jaws and email. Incidentally, it does not happen in windows 10 mail, only in Outlook 2016. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of TheHangMan Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2017 6:28 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] opening up emails Hi, It happens here too, because you are anticipating the start of the mail.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 and Outlook 2016, Reading Messages
I do not know how to prevent it, but perhaps I should try downloading Jaws 17 to see if the same anomaly occurs.

Re: [JAWS-Users] protected view
There is a way to turn off protected view for Word documents. 1. From within Microsoft Word, Press Alt F followed by the letter T for Options and press Enter. 2. Press T to highlight Trust Center. 3. Press Tab until you get to Trust Center Settings and press Enter. 4. Use up and down arrow keys to highlight Protected View. 5. You can tab to four checkboxes, and you can uncheck the ones that you feel are safe to uncheck. Perhaps the last one regarding data execution should remain checked. This is what I have done at my work location and all seems to be well. -Original Message- From: Bill Pasco Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 11:26 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] protected view If there is, I haven't found it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 8 Mail
Now, this is interesting. When Windows 8 mail initially starts, using Jaws 14, it starts with the list of messages, and I can tab through and hear New, Respond, Delete, Microsoft Office, my name, and then one silent area, and back to the scrolling list view. When composing a message with Control N, I can also tab to the send button after I have written a message. The part that I find really strange is that to read a message, I have to highlight in the list, and then press Shift Tab twice to be placed in the body of the message. Very unusual for sure. -Original Message- From: dgcnc Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2013 7:51 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows 8 Mail Has anyone had success using Windows 8 mail and Jaws? It seems that most controls like Send, Forward, Contacts, From, and so on are not read by Jaws making the program unusable.

[JAWS-Users] Extraneous Speech with Jaws and Internet Explorer
Hi to the list. This is a phenomenon that I have been wondering about for a long long time. Generally, when you activate a link in Internet Explorer, it seems as if Jaws renders lots of extraneous speech, reading bits of the previous page, reading bits of the next page, and then finally, Page has 3 headings and 57 links. I sure would like to find a setting that would render Jaws completely silent until the statistics of the newly loaded page are read. This is especially annoying in Flexible web, where you set up a rule to start reading at a specific point on the page. It seems as if Jaws will eventually begin reading at that part, but again, after lots of random and irrelevant speech. Any thoughts sure appreciated. Thanks.
