Re: [JAWS-Users] which jaws?

[ilovecountrymusic483]

I have been using jaws 2018 for some time now and I have no problems with it
under windows 10.  I am not sure what os you are running so can't give you
much info.  I can say that jaws 18 and 2018 work well and if you use edge
you would get along better with 2018.  Just my take on the mater.

Dave, thanks. I've read good comments about 16 and actually 17 as well.  For
those of you who have 2018 and have upgraded from 18, do you think that 2018
works better? Thanks. I appreciate input. Judy & Libby

JAWS 2018 is the latest version; JAWS 18 was released in 2017. FS decided to

try and remove the confusion they caused.

A major paradigm shift in how JAWS works "under the hood" took place between

JAWS 16 and JAWS 17. And frankly I've been less than satisfied with JAWS
performance since then. Some very slow reactions to simple JAWS commands,
which used to be very responsive. So I often unload 2018 and go back to
version 16, just to get things done sooner.

the first time I've ever remembered a jaws being called after a year; so is

Hi,

One thing to note.  If you are usking jaws 18 and you find that jaws is not
readiing in edge, make sure that edge support is enabled in the settings
center.  If it is not enabled it will not work.  If you can try jfw 2018 as

Re: [JAWS-Users] audio ducking broken in win10

Hi,

This was broken in 1703 I think.  It was my understanding that it has
something to do with a change in windows itself.  I know that vfo is aware
of it and it is my understanding that they were working on a fix.  In the
mean time, you will want to contact them and add your voice to the many
others.   I hope they will be able to get it fixed, but if not, they should
be removed.

Hi

When you start a new version of JAWS which is not covered by your current
authorization,  JAWS will start with a dialog asking you if you want to
authorize that version of JAWS or run in demo (40 minute) mode.  In order to
authorize that version of JAWS, you must have an unused activation key that
allows that version of JAWS.  If you don't have any unused activation keys,
you can go to the web site fsactivate.com to request a reset which will
usually give you three activation keys.  If you purchased A JAWS sma that
allows the version of JAWS that includes the version you are running or
higher, you can go to update authorization in the JAWS help menu to update
your authorization keys.

3.
If I check for update, it doesn’t do anything after asking permission of

The subject line says it all, and I hate long subject lines, but what can I
say.  On the day the beta was released, I downloaded it and installed it on
my desktop pc running Windows 10 pro, and on my laptop running Windows 7
home edition.  Both versions are 64 bit, of course.  Anyway, when my Windows
10 computer boots up, I hear Jaws home use edition, but on my laptop running
Windows 7, I hear the announcement followed by the words beta release.  

 

After the installation of Jaws 2018 beta on my laptop computer, it did not
come up automatically.  I had to use Nvda to get me out of the jam.  I got
Jaws to come up talking, but I was asked if I wanted to merge my custom
settings and I answered yes.  I recall another list member answering no to
that prompt.  Could the merging of my custom settings have anything to do
with the slightly different announcement?  

 

Oh, by the way, I reported not being able to use Edge with my bank's website
to VFO, so no need to remind me, smile.

Hi All,

 

I just cleaned out all my trash, and realized I lost the email that had the
link to JAWS 2018.  Can someone please send that?  The current emails on
that subject no longer have the earlier thread, and I cannot remember my
password that would get me into the complete thread.  Thanks!

Subject: [win10] Critical advisory: do NOT update to Fall Creators Update if
you plan to use JAWS 2018 with Edge due to performance problems #ADVISORY
#JAWS #WinTenDev

 

Hi everyone,

 

The below advisory is rated "critical" as it will affect ALL JAWS 2018 users
who plans to use Microsoft Edge in Fall Creators Update. Thus, I recommend
folks to forward this to other forums, mailing lists and what not, as well
as raise a red flag with MS and VFO:

 

CRITICAL ADVISORY: major performance issues found when using JAWS 2018 with
Edge under Fall creators Update builds, with one report stating JAWS and/or
Edge crashes:

 

JAWS 2018 adds support for Microsoft Edge, the browser that ships as part of
Windows 10. Support for Microsoft Edge, especially the new EdgeHTML
rendering engine, is crucial when it comes to supporting certain universal
apps, as they will use the rendering engine used by Edge to display web
content. However, some users have reported performance problems when trying
to use JAWS 2018 with Edge under Fall Creators Update preview builds,
ranging from delay in feedback to at least one report of JAWS and/or Edge
crashing, with performance issues confirmed in subsequent testing. Although
these are possible due to beta status of JAWS 2018, part of this is due to
changes to Edge code introduced in several Windows Insider Preview builds
for the upcoming feature update to Windows 10.

 

Reason for rating this advisory "critical":

 

*   Windows 10 is a service, therefore feature updates are sent to users
and organizations on a semi-annual basis. The latest stable build (Version
1703) will be replaced by upcoming Fall Creators Update (Version 1709) in a
few weeks, and soon or later, most users will be asked to update to the new
version. Although enterprises can delay the upgrade for a time, they will be
asked to upgrade to a future release at one point or another. For those
running Windows 10 Home, you CANNOT defer updates.
*   The time to deploy Fall Creators Update can range from several weeks
to several months. This means that, unless users tell Windows 10 to defer
updates, they'll be updated to the new release. If told to defer updates,
Windows 10 will present the new release by early next year.
*   The delay period (between the day Fall Creators Update is released
and January 2018) is a period of bug fixing, and if MS and/or VFO misses
this, people will face issues with Edge in the upcoming release after
upgrades, further compounding the problem. Thus, it is critical that a fix
(both short-term and long-term) is in place before end of 2017 to allow
people to test this for a few weeks before Fall Creators Update comes to
everyone.

 

Recommended actions:

 

1.  Raise a red flag (feedback) with Microsoft and VFO to make sure this
is addressed as soon as possible.
2.  Avoid upgrading to Fall Creators Update until issues with JAWS and
Edge are ironed out to an extent that users can use Edge for basic tasks.
3.  Optionally, if you absolutely need to use Edge and/or universal apps
that display web content via Edge's rendering engine, use other screen
readers known to support Edge (such as Narrator).
4.  If you need to use a web browser for any task, do NOT use Edge until
major problems are resolved.

 

Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

Afternoon all.

I have a question, and please forgive the lack of correct terminology. I am
using JAWS 17, Windows 10 on a dell laptop. How can I bring up the JAWS
menus? For some reason, the JAWS screen has up and disappeared on me. Thanks
in advance for any and all help.

Insert space bar D.  If you use windows 10 it is broke or at least it was when 
I last used it.  VFO is aware of the problem.

I heard audio ducking can be used in jaws 18 in that it reduces the audio of 
everything but keeps jaws voice at regular volume. 
how do you toggle it on , I’m guessing it’s a toggle thing.

letters and for some reason, after open one of these messages, jfw 18 with

back to the message and I am able to read the message with no problems.  Anyone 
else receive news letters and have problems with this?  Is there a setting in 
mail to fix this problem.  BTW, this a,lso happens with NVDA, but jaws is what 
I use most of the time .  I am running windows 10 insider latest build if that 
means nything as well as the jfw 18 patch just released this week.  Thanks.

Hi,

If you email fs with your serial number they should be able to get your

Where do you go to see this authorization number, I thought it was in 
the about dialog, but all that's there is my serial number and the 
unlocking code. Both of which are shown in their entirety.

Cheers!
