[JAWS-Users] Seeking help with digital signatures
Hello, I seem to be unable to figure out how to create, let alone insert, a signature into a pdf file. I am using Jaws 17 on Windows 7 and Acrobat DC. Any guidance someone can offer would be much appreciated. Thank you, Michelle For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Google Hangouts
Hi all, I was just wondering if the experts among you had come across any tricks to make Google Hangouts less of a chore. So far I am only able to use it through the Chrome extension. I can respond to chats that people initiate with me, but can't see lists of whose available or begin chats of my own. This, as you can imagine, is limiting. Are there clients out there that take the hassle out of this process? Scripts I should be using? Anything? Any and all suggestions are welcome, both for this and other Google products (docs, groups, etc).

[JAWS-Users] Jaws and Thunderbird - am I missing something?
Hi all, After my recent conversion to Windows 7, I found myself underwhelmed with Outlook 2010 and decided to make the switch to Thunderbird. Since every blind person and their brother seemed to be using it, I thought I'd find it fairly seamless when it comes to accessibility. So far that has not been the case. I can make use of it reasonably well, in fact I'm composing this message in it as we speak, but I find the program a lot less intuitive and a little more sluggish with Jaws than previous incarnations of Outlook were. Replying to messages is a trial, since Jaws won't always read me the message I'm typing and will focus on details like variable width instead. If I press enter to open a message, there's a good 10-second lag before I can actually start reading it. This program is eliminated if I view the message using f6 instead of enter, but that really isn't my preference. The list goes on. Is this just a case of me needing to adjust my expectations, suck it up and adapt to an unfamiliar program with less convenient hot keys, or is there some Jaws-related magic bullet I'm overlooking? Is there a script that one should download for optimal results? A setting or two I should tweak? Any and all advice welcome. Best, Michelle P.S. If there is a way to redefine the function of certain hot keys, I'd be beyond happy if someone could enlighten me. :) For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Windows 7 login glitch
Hi all, I've finally made the leap from Windows xp to Windows 7, and not a moment too soon. The transition has been fairly smooth apart from the whole virtual ribbon scene, but I have encountered one glitch I could use some guidance on. I have opted to have set a password for logging onto Windows. Jaws will announce itself ready for action after the windows music sounds, but won't always focus properly on the password field of the login screen. Sometimes it will simply say logon dialog without allowing me to type anything into it. Other times it will go straight there and all will work perfectly. What strikes me is odd is that Jaws will then announce itself as ready a second time once I have managed to log in successfully. Is there a setting I should know about to eliminate this issue? Also, just wanted to confirm my suspicion that jaws works infinitely better when the user account control is set to 0...is that right?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pausing a video in You Tube
Ann, try hitting the letter B while on the page for your video. That should cycle you through the various buttons available. Pause should come up in that list as you scroll through.

Re: [JAWS-Users] pausing a video pausingRE: Pausing a video in YouTube
Hi List, Allow me to offer two suggestions. On the main youtube site, one way to search for buttons is to press the letter b repeatedly. This will cycle you through the various options. Once you've found pause, just hit space bar. However, there is also an accessible interface for youtube the can be operated using keyboard shortcuts. It's fairly stripped down compared to the main site, but I've found it works well and it may be right up someone's alley. The url is: tube.majestyc.net Unlike the main Youtube site, your video won't begin playing automatically once you've searched for and selected it. To start it, you can either hunt for the very clearly labelled play button or simply hit alt-z. This same command will pause the video once it's playing. Alt-x will back up 15 seconds, alt-c will move forward the same amount of time.

[JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla
Hi all, I am genuinely confused by something that's happening with FileZilla. I've used it successfully in the past to transfer a number of files to and from an ftp site, but today something odd is happening. IN my experience the only way to upload a file is to arrow to the file name, route the Jaws cursor to the PC one, then right click using jaws keystrokes and select the appropriate option. This worked fine just a few weeks ago, but today I find nothing happens when I go through this sequence of keystrokes. Jaws simply says right click but doesn't seem to execute the command. I'd welcome any suggestions for a workaround. For what it's worth, I'm running jaws 12 on windows XP.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Twitter's new webpage design, please help
Hi Melissa, I ran into similar issues earlier and ultimately gave up on the web page completely. My sollution was to finally begin using a twitter client, which honestly has made me engage with the social medium in ways I never did before. I am still using Qwitter, despite the fact that it is no longer in development. It's working beautifully for me, and I intend to stick with it until other accessible alternatives, such as Twitmonger, have come out of the Alpha phase.

It has been awhile since I've bothered to play around with Twitter, primarily resulting from a lack of free time. One thing I've noticed since they've changed their webpage layout, is the lack of accessibility to accomplish certain tasks that used to be simple. For example, I would like to accept or decline a request to follow, but those buttons are now completely useless. I have tried getting around this issue via Twitter for IPhone, but to no avail, as that app doesn't even have a way to view and accept or decline requests. Does anyone have any suggestions for navigating this issue? I'd be very greatful.

[JAWS-Users] Selecting files in Filezilla
Hi all, I'm using Filezilla for the first time and have encountered an odd problem. I've gotten connected no problem and managed to download a batch of files from the site I'm working with. When it's time to upload files, however, I run into an issue. I select files to upload, either individually or in batches, I right-click using the Jaws cursor, and am told that upload isn't available. No option seems to be available, in fact, other than to create a folder in my local directory. It's almost as if the files aren't selecting properly. I've tried hitting space bar on them, selecting them using shift+ arrow-keys, and nothing seems to work. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Tagging notes on Facebook
I discovered another alternative while playing around with it myself. This technique only works on the main Facebook site, not on the mobile version. When updating a status, enter the AT symbol, then start typing the person's name. Type as much of it as you need to identify the person. For instance, say you're tagging me, but you're also friends with someone named Michelle McDonald. Type @Michelle McQ, then hit tab. Return to the what's on your mind field, either by exiting forms mode or by hitting shift tab. The name of the tagged person should be there, and you can simply continue typing your update. I'm not 100% sure this system works when tagging notes, but I suspect it would get the job done. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Patti Sent: August 8, 2011 3:35 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Tagging notes on Facebook Here is what I learned today on the main page of FB Tagging someone If you write about someone in What's on your mine, and you want to tag them 1, Press the letter H 2, Until you get to news feed 3, Arrow down to what's on your mine edit field 4, When you type there name arrow down to make sure it is their name you want, because you might have more then one Patti on your list, but if you just have one Patti 5, Press enter after you typed there name 6, Press the space bar and keep on typing your message 7, After you are done typing 8, Arrow down to share 9, Press the space bar to send it off 10, If you want to make sure it is there, arrow down hth Patti There used to be an option to tag people in a note on the mobile site, but no longer.

[JAWS-Users] Alternatives to Eloquence?
Hi all, I'm sure this question will seem really basic, so my apologies in advance, but I've finally decided to investigate adding a more natural sounding voice to my array of speech profiles. I'm not exactly dissatisfied with Eloquence, but variety is the spice of life. I'm not that impressed with the SAPI factory profile that's included with my Jaws 12 software, and I'm mwondering what exactly I need to do to procure other options. Am I right to assume that it's best to stick to voices that are SAPI5 compatible? Is there a prohibitive price to for such voices? Once I've settled on one, how do I go about installing it? Can I expect the same functionality as I experienced with Eloquence? Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Nokia PC Suite
Kim, downloading a version from Blindsea.com improved the experience for me. They provide thorough disclosure about which versions are partially accessible, which is the best we can hope for with that program. I've been able to use it enough to get my work done, though. Just be prepared to use the Jaws cursor a lot. The menu bars are accessible, which helps, and you can access many of the primary functions like backup, update software etc just by doing a right single click on the program from the system tray.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws and Nokia PC Suite
Hi all, Some years ago I installed Nokia PC Suite on my computer, only to find it most inaccessible. I don't recall which version of the program I was using, but I was certainly using windows XP and some antiquated version of Jaws. My updated Nokia phone is now crying for a backup, and I'm wondering if I'll encounter similar problems when I reinstall PC Suite on my current laptop. I'm still on Windows XP, but now using Jaws 12. Any tips or first-hand anecdotes would be most welcome. Many thanks, Michelle For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
