[JAWS-Users] Audible "numeric string" ...
HI ALL: To start, I use JAWS 17 on a Windows 8.1, 64-bit PC, and the below problem happens in Word 2013 and OUTLOOK 2013. JAWS has been set to handle "numbers", as aposed to the synthacizer, and it is set to say longer numbers in "pairs" - which may be relevant. This has been happening for a long time; so, I am not sure if it was doing this with JAWS 16, which was setup in the same way regarding the handling of numbers. When reading a long number (even if only 2-digits), individual digit by individual digit, I often hear a "numeric string" after every digit I hear. Sometimes, I hear this same numeric string after reading a "whole number" , seemingly attached to that "whole number". This has become much more bothersome lately, because I am working on things like "budgets" and "fund-raising" planning sheets - things with which I would not have been concerned for a long time. The audible, numeric string "appears to be" 112075, which reads as 11, 20, 75 - alided closely together. I can not seem to separate the individual digits, even using the "spell mode", because this string reads much more quickly than if I simply had JAWS read the text "11 20 75", and the reading speed does not seem to be at issue. For whatever reason that this may be happening, can anyone tell me how to stop this? I am worried that I may be sending messages/documents to people that will read the same way as they do for me, and this could be confusing. ... not to mention, make me sound stupid - at least for a minute or 2! :) :) BTW: I should point out, sadly, that this problem did not show up in re-reading this message; so, this would appear to be an inconsistent problem. Still, any suggestions would be appreciated, even if the only person's confusion, that gets cleared up, is mine. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Is it possible that this Power conservation built into w-10, has something to do with JAWS shutting down and restarting again?
JAWS "shutting down and restarting" happens on my Windows 8.1 PC with JAWS 17.0.1337. So, I suspect that it does not pertain to JAWS on Windows 10. I have heard that JAWS does not "shut down and restart" when using JAWS 16 with Windows 10. Perhaps, others may have more experience with this setup, and can confirm this.

[JAWS-Users] Using Rumola with IE 11, for converting CAPTCHAs.
Hi all: Someone, from another list, provided the following information on this topic: (NOTE: I appologize for not remembering that person's name.) **Okay, here's the steps for getting Rumola to work with IE11: 1.Access the Rumola web site (http://skipinput.com/), 2. nd press "H" repeatedly until you land on the heading labeled "Bookmarklet". 3.-Then tab to the link labeled "...Rumola" and press Enter. 4.Launch the Context menu and scroll all the way down to the Add to Favorites dialog. 5.Tab to the combo box and scroll down the list once to choose Favorites bar and then tab to the Add button and activate it. 6.Once Rumola is in the Favorites bar, activate it for the first time and you should get a message that you have no credits left. Click on the Okay button and you should be presented with a web page for purchasing credits which are 99 cents for 50 captcha credits, which are good for a year. You can pay with PayPal or a major credit/credit card. Once your account has been activated, you will receive an email with your user-ID (usually your email address) and password. Be sure to save this email so that you have a record of your password for future reference should you need it, although you will be logged in initially. 7.Now Rumola is ready to use. Using IE, whenever you encounter a web page that contains an image captcha. a. , press Control-I to launch the favorites list, b. scroll to the favorites bar by pressing "F" repeatedly, and hit Enter when you land on Rumola. The captcha will be solved almost instantly and placed in the correct edit field, and one credit will be deducted from your account. c. Keep checking this edit field to be sure that the result is there; as, there is no audible feedback to alert you that the captcha has been solve. 8. If you want to test Rumola, visit the following sample image captcha page and activate Rumola from the IE favorites bar. The result will be placed in the field labeled "2+3=". Note that if you refresh this page, a new image captcha will be presented. This is only a test page, not a real account creation page: http://www.captchacreator.com/v-examples.html Now, all we need is a "hot key" to instantly take care of this for us before the CAPTCHA times out. Good luck. Jim H For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
