[JAWS-Users] reading out of forms mode
I'm looking for a setting, in previous versions of jaws I could read back what I wrote when I was out of forms mode, beginning with jaws13, I'm no longer able to read back what I typed unless I'm in forms mode, is there a setting to change this? Thanks. Troy For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] possible bug in jaws13?
I have the jaws13 final release. The problem I am having is with links and buttons. It seems to be a big problem too. What is happening is I'm having to press enter on links and buttons twice, and sometimes when I click a link it disappears altogether. I did not notice this behavior in the data cycle. I hope if this is a bug that it fixed very very soon as I'm disappointed that this would slide through a final release.

Troy - Original Message - From: John M. jobhun...@box547.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, October 24, 2010 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws sluggishness and upgrading your pc Troy, Processor speed will make a big difference with Jaws performance. You can determine the processor you have by going into the Control Panel and then open the System applet. On the main page, you can use the Jaws cursor to review the information on the screen. One of the items listed will be the processor make, model and speed. If the processor speed is less than 1.0Ghz, then versions of Jaws after version 5.1 will not perform well. Also, the number of programs running in the background will also impact Jaws performance as well as your computers overall performance. Review all of the programs running in the system tray using Jaws key plus F11. Close any programs that you know you never use. Also, some anti-virus programs consume significant processor resources. The most processor intensive are Symantec, McAfee and AVG. If you are running any of these, you may want to consider switching to Microsoft Security Essentials, which is very light on processor utilization. And make sure that you are not running more than one anti-virus program. And even though adding the additional memory did not fix the Jaws problem, it will positively improve your overall computer performance. You should also make sure that you have the latest driver software for the sound device on your computer. There are many reasons for sluggish Jaws speech and hopefully one of the items I listed above will help with your particular situation.

That's almost half the price of buying JAWS for the first time. Has FS always charged this much to reactivate an out-of-date SMA, or has the price increased? I bring this up because it would not seem to make economic sense to upgrade to JAWS 12 unless you are also upgrading to Windows 7.

I would like to remind everyone that if in JAWS 11, you have added scripts which modified the default script file in JAWS 11, moving that set of scripts to JAWS 12 will likely prevent you from getting JAWS to work correctly since the default scripts in 12 are newer than the 11 scripts. I'm not certain but I think this could be the case with any Skype scripts you may have added in the past. For other applications specific scripts that you have sitting in your JAWS 11 User Settings Folder, moving those in should be OK. Of course I think it is always wise to install and try the new version without making any changes first and then work things in after doing some experimentation first. Finally, I agree with Flor, you should not uninstall JAWS 11 just because you install the Public Beta of 12. This is not necessary. You will just have to keep track of which version you are actually running of course.

Again, in Google Reader, but this time from within Firefox, when clickin on a particular subscription feed or by doing a simple search from within the overall page and navegating down the various entries using the h key for headings, Jaws will read a bunch of garbled link text instead of that particular heading title. I've found that when going in reverse, (shift+h instead of just h) Jaws reads the entry titles perfectly fine. This isn't an issue in IE8 at all. I had reported this glitch in prior releases, but it's still present in version 12. 3. Jaws seems to have a lot of trouble with Firefox webpages that have a lot of links. When encountering a page with hundreds either by visiting a blog posting with hundreds of responces or if I'm searching for an item to buy and want all results shown on one page or again, if I'm in Google Reader and press the navigation button to have all my subscriptions appear (I have over 240 rss feeds for example(, JFW will become quite unresponsive and at times crash on me. Many times I almost have to step away from my machine since Jaws wont' even speak if I do an alt+tab to go to another app. This is especially an issue for me as I help my wife with her eBay store and when going into the seller's page, it takes forever for Jaws to talk. That is if I'm in fact lucky and JFW doesn't crash all together. I don't have this problem in IE8. I really started noticing this issue with JFW 11 and still with version 12. 4. I had reported a problem when upgrading from JFW 10 to 11 with all the information in my e-mails through Outlook 2003 (from, subject, date etc) being spoken twice when arrowing up and down the list view. I was able to reproduce this problem with the escalations department (Inquiry Number: 197907), but never got a solution to it. The same problem is present in version 12. I like the way how the configuration manager has been cleaned up and Firefox feels generally crisper than in versions past. Google Voice seems to be a lot cleaner through Mozilla than with IE.
