[JAWS-Users] a couple questions

[Shane Hecker]

I'm using the latest Jaws 2018 with Windows 10 build 1803. Is it my 
imagination or did the keystroke for bringing up a skim reading summary 
go away? Also, has anyone got the virtual ribbons to work in Windows 
explorer? I can't seem to get them working. They work everywhere else so 
far as I can tell, but not in windows explorer. Thanks for any info.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Weather Underground has changed

[Shane Hecker]

Companies sometimes have 2 versions of their site. One is for a desktop 
computer, the other is mobile friendly meaning a mobile phone can access 
it with no problems. The desktop site is loaded with things that make 
the site look good on a desktop computer namely graphics. The mobile 
site does not use much in the way of graphics because mobile phones 
aren't as powerful as a desktop computer. They tend to be more text 
based. From what I've seen, the folks at FS tend to use the mobile site 
for programming the research it feature because it is easier to work 
with. So whe the mobile site goes down, so does research it.


A perfect example of what I'm talking about is facebook. Have a look at 
the main site, www.facebook.com. Then compare it to m.facebook.com, 
which is the mobile site. You will find that the mobile site is faster 
and easier to use than the main site.

computer, it should work because it doesn't. I guess I'm a little 
confused as to what you mean by desktop.

In this case, it's not the research it causing the issue. The mobile 
site which was m.wund.com is down. So when that happens, it redirects 
to www.wunderground.com which is the desktop site. The research it 
feature doesn't know how to interact with the desktop site, which 
causes it to say that it couldn't find any results. I'm not for sure 
on this, but I thought FS had a way to program new items into the 
research it function. Either that or they were going to make a way 
for this to be done. If they haven't done this, it would be a useful 
feature to add.

[JAWS-Users] annoying jaws problem

[Shane Hecker]

I've seen this quite a bit with my laptop running Windows 10 pro 64 bit. 
When I try looking at the desktop with the Jaws cursor, it will say 
something like this:


checked unchecked read only pressed unavailable droppable grabbed dragable

What is this and why can't the Jaws cursor properly see the desktop? Oh 
yeah and when you try to right click something in the system tray when 
the Jaws cursor is acting up, it doesn't work. Only way I've found to 
fix this is to completely restart the computer. Restarting Jaws has no 
effect.

Best  thing to do in that  case is attempt running the test on the

to run the test. Wow, 8088? I remember those. Actually, my first laptop
was an 8086 running I think Dos  4.10, later upgraded to  Dos 5.0. Think
this was back in the late 1980's. I am pretty sure even a 15 year old
computer would trounce that 8086 any day of the week with both hands
tied behind it's back. At  any rate, give the programs I mentioned a

I'd test the hard drive first. Usually it's the number 1 thing that goes
out. If you have a second computer with a USB port and a docking station
for hard drives, this should be relatively straight forward. Basically
what you do is connect the hard drive to the station, connect the
station to your second computer via USB, then run tests to see if there
are problems. Based on what you've said I'm assuming you know some about
this. For thorough testing of a hard drive, you may want to look up
"Bart's Stuff Test". It's an old program but it works nicely and it's 
free.


If the hard drive is sound,  and you want to test memory, look up "Mem
Test HCI". There's a free and a commercial version. The free version
should do what you want.

Could it be placing applications on multiple virtual desktops? I've seen 
it once where I couldn't get to an application because it was on a new

There's a setting I believe related to the task bar where you can tell

The first question I would ask is has the scanner been cleaned? Dirty 
scanner means you won't get a clear picture which will make it harder 
for the OCR to do its job. The other thing I'd consider is are your 
drivers for the scanner up to date? Hope this helps some.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How Do You Protect Your Jawks Key

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessible Travel Directions

[Shane Hecker]

The sun can sometimes be of help, depending on the season and time of 
day. Morning, the sun is in the east, evening, it's in the west. Also, a 
good compass can be of use. If you got the iPhone, you've got a built-in 
compass. It will tell you in degrees which way you are facing. 0/360 
degrees north, 90 degrees east, 180 degrees south, and 270 degrees west. 
Split those in half and you get northeast, southeast, southwest, and 
northwest. For example, 45 degrees is northeast, 135 degrees is 
southeast, and so on. Hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AMD/Intel

[Shane Hecker]

The longest warranty that I'm aware of is 3 years. That goes for both 
Intel and AMD chips. But to get that you have to buy the retail 
versions. If you buy the OEM version you get 90 days. When did Intel 
offer a lifetime warranty? I've been working with computers for a while 
and never recall seeing a chip that had that warranty.

It is just personal preference, I have used both chips over the years and if

chips with a similar spec is minimal.
There may be a cost factor, AMD used to be considerably cheaper than Intel but 
I am not sure if this is still the case.
Intel used to offer lifetime warranty on their chips as well.

The chip you use should not affect Jaws one way or the other. If you are 
looking for the absolutely fastest chip money can buy, then Intel is 
what you want. If you are on a budget, AMD will give you the most bang 
for your buck. As an example, the Intel i7 4790k costs $300 or more, the

Re: [JAWS-Users] After updating to seventeen

It is likely you still have Jaws 16 on your machine. That is unless you 
uninstalled it after installing Jaws 17. If you did not uninstall the 
older version and you still wish to do so, go to programs and features 
in the control panel, find Jaws 16 then right click it and hit 
uninstall/change. Remove Jaws only, do not remove the shared components. 
One more thing, make sure all your programs behave with Jaws 17. 
Sometimes, programs that work well under one version of Jaws don't work 
so well under the newer version.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router

You can certainly connect a router up to your ISP through your dsl box

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG killed JAWS

[Shane Hecker]

I'm not sure AVG is the one for all the blame in this case. I'd say the 
VA had no business installing software unless they asked first. I 
personally have AVG free 2015 on 2 computers, both running Jaws 
16.0.4350 and don't have any problems. I'd be curious as to which 
version of AVG was installed. If they installed a trial of AVG Internet 
Security I could see that messing with Jaws. In particular, the firewall 
could be blocking Jaws from running, in which case you would probably 
have to pull up Narrator to find this out. This assumes that Narrator 
can read the dialog box presented by AVG. Jaws works for reading the 
boxes, but NVDA for example has problems.

there were to be any exceptions to the A V G doing its job.

So, who screwed up.us or A V G?

If it was us, how do I solve the problem, if I put A V G back on the
computers?

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router

[Shane Hecker]

Have you looked at Netgear? I have the nighthawk r7000. The web 
interface is accessible, but the apps they want you to install are not. 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't need parental 
controls, you don't need the Netgear Jenie app.

I sure hope they don't drop  it.  I use  the Amazon research it several

Could someone explain the advantages of using the Amazon.com option in
Research It versus visiting Amazon.com directly?  Using JAWS 16 with Windows
7, I have no trouble either navigating the Amazon.com site or making
purchases.  And for those who find the regular Amazon.com site somewhat
cluttered or difficult to navigate, there is always the accessible version
which is optimized for screen readers.  The trouble with Research It is that
when a web site is modified, Research It often no longer works well with
that site, if at all.  Although the Research It feature was useful and
convenient when it was originally introduced, many users are now reporting
problems with it, and FS should considerdropping it from future releases of
JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it

[Shane Hecker]

I reported the amazon issue to FS a while back. There is a work around 
for it. But first, let me explain what causes this, at least what caused 
the problems for me and how to fix it.
When you use the screen reader optimized version of amazon.com, I 
believe it puts a cookie on your computer. The cookie tells the browser 
to default to that site. This in turn screws with the research-it 
feature because it is expecting the main site, not the screen reader 
optimized version. Hence, you get "press escape to close results viewer" 
with no results.
The fix is to delete cookies. Then, try doing the research-it function 
and it should work. If you are signed into an account, I'd suggest 
signing out first, close the browser, then delete the cookies.
As a side note, under advanced in internet options, I have it set to not 
save encrypted pages to disk and to empty temporary internet files when 
the browser is closed. Hope this information is helpful.


Shane
ps: I just tried the research-it function with amazon and it works.

Re: [JAWS-Users] amazon research it problem and fix

One way to be sure is what it says at the top line. If it says simply 
amazon then you are on the site for screen readers. IF is says 
Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, 
DVDs  more then you are on the full site. One thing you may want to 
try is deleting cookies.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem completing a privacy agreement screen on an HR portal commonly used in job applications

[Shane Hecker]

This is not specifically related to your problem, but it is similar 
enough. I feel your pain. The ISP in my area has a site where you can 
make updates to your account, change payment information, and so on. The 
problem with the site is that at the bottom of the page where the 
changes are made, there is a check box that says I accept the terms and 
conditions. Only one problem, Jaws does not see this as a check box. 
Hitting space bar or enter does absolutely nothing. I spent 20 minutes 
using IE and Firefox trying to check that stupid box after updating 
credit card information. It took using the OCR function and making a 
guess as to where to click to finally get that box checked. I had to 
take a trip to the cable company today to turn in a couple boxes, and I 
let them have it. I wasn't rude, but flat out told them that their site 
was a pain to work with. All that to say it might be worth contacting 
the people who run the site and see what they can do. Now whether it 
will do any good is another story, but it can't hurt to try.

HRportal commonly used in job applications


Hello all.

  


I realize I rarely post on the JAWS users list, but I'm helping a family
member apply for online jobs and have run into an issue with one of the big
online candidate profile sites that I think could be JAWS related. The issue
is with People Answers.

  


People Answers (http://www.peopleanswers.com) is a Website that companies
use to host online assessments and questionnaires for job candidates. When I
log in to the site to begin a job assessment from an employer using this
portal, I'm forwarded to a page asking me to scroll through an agreement and
click I Agree to except it. When I scroll through the agreement, JAWS
reads, I Agree button unavailable and I do not agree unavailable. The
sighted person I'm working with says the button is grayed out, and she can't
click on I Agree.

  


I've scrolled through the entire agreement at least three times this evening
using Internet Explorer; I also tried this page under Mozilla Firefox with
the same result. I've had similar issues with this portal in the past. So
far, I've only gotten this button to populate correctly twice, and both
times it's taken me an hour to scroll through the information on the
agreement multiple times.

  


The agreement itself consists of two sections: a privacy statement and terms
of use. Both have separate links to allow you to open and print the privacy
statement and terms of service, then close the page to return to the
application. I've had to open and close the page multiple times to get the
I agree buttons to populate correctly. This evening, I was unable to do so
at all after scrolling to the bottom of the page at least three times under
Internet Explorer 11 and once under Mozilla Firefox 40. I'm using JAWS 16,
build 4350 with a 64-bit PC running Windows 10.

  


I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with this online job portal and has
any solutions to this.

  


Thanks in advance.

  


Chris.

Re: [JAWS-Users] a windows update

[Shane Hecker]

It looks like the updates are sorted by most recent, meaning the most 
recent updates are at the top of the list. If you installed this update 
recently, it should be near the top of the list. You are doing it right. 
You may also want to look under all programs as it may be listed there. 
If you uninstall the software, it may cause problems as Jaws needs the 
display driver installed to work properly. I'd go to www.amd.com or the 
computer manufacturer's web site and download the latest drivers from 
there. If you go to your computer manufacturer's web site, you will need 
the model number of your computer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] a windows update
Try doing an OCR on the box (insert+spacebar, then o, then either w or 
s) and see if that brings up anything. If not you will need sighted 
assistance.
In the meantime, clicking the close button will likely make the box go 
away. If you feel comfortable doing this, you might try going into 
msconfig and
see if you can find the app or service that is causing the box to pop 
up. Just know that if you don't know what you are doing, you can make 
things worse
rather than better by making changes. If you don't feel comfortable 
with working with msconfig, then it's probably best to let a 
technician do this.

Have you tried using the Jaws cursor to see what is on the screen? 
Having a go and a close button doesn't tell me much unless I know what 
the rest of the box says. If using the Jaws cursor doesn't work, you 
could try doing an OCR of the screen and see if that reveals something. 
I'd be hesitant to click on the go button until I know what it does. In 
all likelihood the box that is popping up is tips for using your 
hardware or information telling you about features it may have. Usually, 
there's a check box that says something along the lines of do not show 
this again. Might want to see if you can find and click that. The box 
should not pop up after this is done.

Re: [JAWS-Users] a windows update

[Shane Hecker]

Try doing an OCR on the box (insert+spacebar, then o, then either w or 
s) and see if that brings up anything. If not you will need sighted 
assistance. In the meantime, clicking the close button will likely make 
the box go away. If you feel comfortable doing this, you might try going 
into msconfig and see if you can find the app or service that is causing 
the box to pop up. Just know that if you don't know what you are doing, 
you can make things worse rather than better by making changes. If you 
don't feel comfortable with working with msconfig, then it's probably 
best to let a technician do this.

For those of you who have tried both AVG and Avira, which of these two

considering one of these programs as a replacement for MSE because 
support for the XP version will supposedly be discontinued next month,

Re: [JAWS-Users] Win 7 system update

[Shane Hecker]

You might get something like that if the manufacturer of your pc puts 
out an update for the bios or the preinstalled software. Otherwise, I've 
never seen an update from Microsoft that presents that way. If you have 
it set to automatically update, you likely won't see anything. 
Otherwise, you should see something in the system tray that says new 
updates are available or perhaps new updates are ready to be installed. 
Anything else and it's likely *not* Microsoft.

[JAWS-Users] accepting credit cards

accessible using the latest version of Jaws and who will allow for the 
use of the reader I have. In other words, which credit card accepting 
services will allow for the use of the reader I have and are accessible 
with Jaws? If I need additional software, what programs do I need and 
where do you get them and how much do they cost? Thanks for any info.

[JAWS-Users] flip-flop forms mode

[Shane Hecker]

I have a problem when visiting www.lowes.com. Jaws likes to go in and 
out of forms mode when navigating through the site. In many places, you 
can't simply go to a link and hit enter. It will only click the link 
when Jaws goes into forms mode. This is particularly annoying when you 
find something you want to look at in greater depth. To read the site, 
you have to constantly exit out of forms mode. Sometimes when a page 
loads, it goes in and out of forms mode quickly (flip-flop). Any ideas 
on how to fix this? Tried setting Jaws for manual forms mode only but 
this did not work. Using Jaws 16.

Gerald,
Unfortunately that's quite normal with 'modern' software installers.
It's either Ask or Chrome or a few similar bun unnecessary, but you 
have the option to uncheck the install box during setup, IF of course 
you can find it.

So now you can use C Cleaner to un install chrome.

Therefore, I suggest that a warning be added to the CCleaner

Those numbers are not unreasonable. If the CPU usage were near 100%, 
then I'd be concerned. I'd be curious as to your system specs, 
particularly how much memory you have. I know you have Windows 7 64 bit 
so that tells me the system is relatively new. I say relatively because 
a 5 year old system is considered old. Even so, 64 bit CPUs were being 
made at that time. Have you run a disk defrag? In particluar, when was 
the last time the pagefile was defragmented? If the system is making 
heavy use of it, that could also explain a slow down. Defragler is a 
free utility that can defragment the page file.

If you get an email and want to add a contact from that email, you are
supposed to be able to right click on the contact of interest, then hit
add contact. I tried this today and no matter what I did, the add
contact item never came up. I got cut, copy, paste, select all, and a
couple other things, but no add contact. Using Jaws 15, Windows 7 pro.
Tried looking up the information on the internet, but it didn't help.
What am I doing wrong? I right clicked on the name in the from field.
Thanks for any info.

[JAWS-Users] status line gone in Thunderbird

[Shane Hecker]

I got the 31.0 version of Thunderbird. Now when I hit insert+page-down, 
it says nothing. In the previous versions, it would tell me how many

this back?

Re: [JAWS-Users] status line gone in Thunderbird

[Shane Hecker]

Curious because up till now, it always told me how many messages I had 
and how many unread messages there are. You are of course correct about 
the inbox thing. As for the misspelling, just tried it and yes it still 
tells me if I misspell a word. However it sometimes will repeat the 
first letter of a word twice when using left and right arrows to 
navigate. Another problem that seems to persist is when you are reading 
by word. When you write your message, try navigating past the end of 
what you wrote and watch what happens. Be sure to navigate by word.

You might be able to get part of an install done with a screen reader,

It seems to me, that those of us who have been using Windows 
computers for

some time, find that Windows 7 is more user friendly, while a first time
computer user who buys a Windows 8 or 8.1 PC becomes familiar with the
interface of that operating system and the in's and out's of how to 
use it.
Although I began using Windows at version 3.1, and probably have used 
most
versions since then, I purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 on 
it and
installed Windows 8 on my old Windows 7 PC, then upgraded it to 8.1. 
I have
become quite adept at using 8.1, and I like a lot of it. I will say 
however,
that if it weren't for the ability to boot to the desktop and the use 
of a
third party start menu program, I would not like it as well. Also I 
have now
reverted back to windows 7 on my old PC because it seems to run 
better with
that installed on it. So, what I am saying is, I think it all has to 
do with

what one gets used to.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Which OS is the best Windows7 or 8?

[Shane Hecker]

I personally like Windows 7. If you are getting a new computer, it will 
likely have Windows 8 on it. If you must use Windows 8, you'd be better 
off with Windows 8.1. From what I've heard, Microsoft isn't releasing 
fixes for Windows 8 anymore, they are forcing you to update to 8.1 if 
you want to get updates from them.

Re: [JAWS-Users] bios

[Shane Hecker]

No, Jaws does not work when you enter the bios. You don't see these 
much, but there are some utilities put out by some computer and 
motherboard manufacturers that will let you access the bios through 
windows. Most are inaccessible, and those that are have very limited 
accessibility from my experience. Who knows though, this may have 
changed since the last time I looked into this. There used to be a pci 
card you could get called the weasel that would allow you to remotely 
control a computer from another. One of the features that it had was to 
allow access to the bios, but I've never seen this card in operation so 
can't speak as to how well it works. I'd be interested if they've come 
out with an alternative way for doing this.

Re: [JAWS-Users] cursors

[Shane Hecker]

I'll keep this short. The virtual pc cursor is used in html and pdf 
documents and acts like the pc cursor. The jaws cursor? Think of that as 
your mouse. You can navigate to items that the virtual pc cursor can't 
get to and click things with it. Hope this is helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Questions about upgrading to IE11

[Shane Hecker]

I did the upgrade yesterday, no problems. Running Windows 7 64 bit with 
Jaws 13. I didn't notice a huge increase in speed between ie10 and ie11. 
The biggest difference was between ie9 and ie10. That said I do think 
ie11 works a bit faster.

also what are the main advantages of upgrading from IE10 to IE11?  I

Re: [JAWS-Users] defragler

[Shane Hecker]

Settings is in the menu bar. You can press alt+s to get to it or you 
could hit alt then arrow to it. As far as the tool bar, there's a 
workaround for that. When you run the install, when it gets to the 
screen where it asks if you want to install the tool bar, you can do an 
OCR on it. That will give you a chance to select whether or not you want 
to install the tool bar. This assumes you have Jaws 13 or later and the 
OCR engine is installed.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How well is MSE working for you?

I have tried Avg and Avast. Don't like either of them so went to MSE. It

while. It takes considerably longer than Avg or Avast, but the quick 
scan is pretty good. I also use Malware Bytes Antimalware. You do have 
to use the mouse to switch between tabs. In MSE, you don't need to use 
the mouse at all. Hope this helps.
