Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 10, Microsoft Accessibility; Says sighted assistance necessary

2015-11-10 Thread Johna Lynn Nordin 
When I click on the get windows 10 icon in my system tray it tells me it's
validating my windows or something like that then it says it'll notify me
when it's ready.  How do I know when It's ready?  How will I be notified?
Via email and if so which email address will it send it to?
Thanks

Hi all,
I just wanted you to know that you can up grade to Windows 10 with JAWS
16.0.4350 or JAWS 16.0.4463. You do not have to wait until you receive JAWS
17 to up grade. I up graded with JAWS 16.0.4350 and the experience couldn't
have been better. You can use Narrator to do the last couple of steps and
JAWS will come back talking. When it does, just remember to uninstall JAWS
and Reinstall JAWS even if you upgraded from Windows 8.1. It makes things
work so much better in Win 10 if you do. Take care.

Accessibility;Says sighted assistance necessary

It appeared to me, when I purchased my new SMA for JAWS 18 and 19,  and
upgraded to 17, that the disk would cost $10. I saw nothing to make me
believe that I would be receiving one by mail. I then talked to FS Sales, to
make my SMA purchase, and nothing was said about them sending me the disk
either. So, unless someone receives one and posts that they did, then I am
assuming that there will be no disk sentt.

sighted assistance necessary

Hello Gang:

I tried to upgrade an older Dell laptop to Windows 10, yesterday, through
the MS Accessibility Help Desk. But, was unsuccessful, because I had so many
Windows 7 updates to download and install. Still having to download some
today.

However, here is my point. While talking to one of the MS helpers, he told
me, "Well, Sir, you know that when we do the download for Windows 10, there
will be a time, when there is no connection with us, and sighted assistance
will be necessary." I replied, "Well, I understand at that point, I can turn
on the narrator and complete it without sighted assistance."

He said, "I don't think that is really the case. You need sighted
assistance."

Well, according to the notes from Jim Flusche, The narrator is totally
useable, after the 10 install. Or did I misunderstand Jim's instructions?

Two final questions:

1. Does FS send out CDs for the JAWS 17, for those of us with a SMA?

2. Would a CD be a good thing to have for starting a new Windows 10
computer, or can that be done via narrator, as well.

Thanks. Have a great Sunday!

Neil

[JAWS-Users] question about jaws and windows 10

Hello,

I'm wondering if this install is something I can do on my own without
sighted assistance?  Does it automatically install over the current windows
version?  I have windows 8.1.  I have jaws 16.  Does windows 10 work with
jaws 16 or should I wait until I get 17?

Hi,
I think it depends on how comfortable you are with tech will depend on
whether you need sight to update to windows ten. Last night I updated my
Lenovo Laptop running Windows 8.1 to windows 10 without sight with no
difficulties. I had one moment of hesitation when it brought up a screen
after a reboot and did not speak. I thought I wonder what it is doing now
and I wonder if it is safe to use narrator. So I whipped out my iPhone and
my KNFB reader in a totally dark room and it read the screen to me. And from
the contents of the screen I knew it was safe to use narrator to get me to
the log in screen at which point jaws kicked in. I was already running the
latest version of jaws. Once that happened I could exit narrator and log in.

I should also add that I was running on about two hours of sleep at the time
and was barely functioning myself at the time. Tonight I activated Cortana
and configured the default browser and everything is running very well with
jaws 16, magic 13 which I do occasionally use but did not use last night,
and windows 10. 
Hope that helps.
Merv

 Hi,

 You wouldn't really want to run both at the same time but you can 
 switch between the two screen readers with no problem.
 NVDA doesn't make any changes to the video driver chain.
 It will be up to you to decide on which one you want to load up on the 
 startup screen and then after logon etc.
 In the past, I have configured my laptop to have NVDA load up at the

 Hi Steven,

 The steps below are for Word 2013 but, should work for Word 2010 as
 well.:

 Before creating a new Normal template you should first make a backup 
 of your normal.dotm template.
 1. Make sure you can see hidden folders and files on your PC. I will 
 asume you know how to do that.

 2. Close Word.

 3. Go to C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \ 
 Templates.
 Arrow down to Normal.dotm and rename it to something like OldNormal.dotm.
 Note that if you simply delete this file, Word will automatically 
 create a new Normal.dotm template when you open Word.

 4. Open Word.

 5. Start a new blank document however you do that.

 6. Make any changes you want to anything. That includes page number 
 styles, font, etc.

 7. Unless you want it, delete any visible text you may have typed as 
 you set up the things you want files to be based on.

 8. Go to the File menu and choose Save As.

 9. In the filename box, type, Normal.

 10. Tab to the File Type combo box and arrow down until you hear the 
 file type called Word Macro-Enabled template (*.dotm). That's what you
want.

 11. You can tab to the, Save button,  press enter or, just press, 
 Alt + S, then press, Alt + F4, to close the document  the new 
 Normal.dotm should be saved wherever your default save to is located, 
 which is usually the Documents folder.  Now find the newly created 
 file  put it into the Templates folder located here:
 C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \ Templates.

 You have now saved a new Normal template that will be used for every 
 new document.

 Note that if you mess up or panic or want to revert to your old file, 
 just go back into the Templates folder and rename your OldNormal.dotm 
 back to Normal.dotm. Or, just delete the Normal.dotm file you have 
 and let Word rebuild one from its default settings.

 For those who want to know wen their templates get changed, you can 
 also have Word tell you when changes are made and it will ask you if 
 you want to save changes to the template. That's typically if you 
 create macros, etc.
 That setting is under the Save options


 Take care.
 Mike

Hi David  Leonard,

There is a program called Speak Dropbox that resides in the system tray

it.

Here is the alternative way, other than using scripts, to hear what the

Hi,
I have had this issue for years with Excel 2003 and 2010, running various
versions of JAWS on different systems running XP, Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.
I have found no work around that is consistently reliable.  Sometimes
unloading and reloading JAWS will help temporarily.  One solution is to copy
the formula into notepad, edit it there, and copy it back to the cell.  I
have reported to FS.  They say that it is a known issue but no word as to
when it might be fixed.  I would say that they are in no hurry as I have
encountered this problem at least back to JAWS 8 or 9.

Jaws 16 does not work with LYNC, but Jaws 15 does.  FS knows about the
problem and promises to fix it in an upcoming build of Jaws 16.  Meanwhile,
the workaround is to use Jaws 15 with LYNC.  It's a pain, and I don't get
why something that works was broken jumping from 15 to 16.  Also, google
LYNC accessibility.  Mind the spelling.  MS publishes accessibility

Re: [JAWS-Users] Instant Messenger Called Link

2015-01-14 Thread Johna Lynn Nordin 
I'm using a windows 8.1 del laptop with jaws 16 and lync 2013 and it seems
to be working fine thankfully.  As for my excel working correctly that's
another story.  I can't seem to edit data cells with the f2 
Jaws just reads  blank lines

Interesting!  We tried Jaws 16 and LYNC on multiple computers, and they all
crashed.  FS told us there was a problem with Jaws 16 and that they would
repair it as soon as they could.  The computers are state machines with
blind employees like me using them.  We faced no such issues with Jaws 15.

I'm using lync and jaws 16 at work and they work pretty good together.
Sometimes I can't get to my contact list but my work around for that is to
just type the person's name into the search field and it opens up a message
to them.

Jaws 16 does not work with LYNC, but Jaws 15 does.  FS knows about the
problem and promises to fix it in an upcoming build of Jaws 16.  Meanwhile,
the workaround is to use Jaws 15 with LYNC.  It's a pain, and I don't get
why something that works was broken jumping from 15 to 16.  Also, google
LYNC accessibility.  Mind the spelling.  MS publishes accessibility
directions, and they are pretty good.

I  work in the Federal Government and it is on our systems. I  have limited
ability to work it. I  am told with some training, I  could work it better.
