Re: [JAWS-Users] need help in understanding jaws any books or tutorials, , out there?
Hello. I actually got the book on a thumb drive yesterday and I did email Cathy who did put the book together and will check it out during the week and she did resend a new link and the download did work so just thought I would give everyone the update. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Oh another thing when are they going to get the audio ducking fixed? I would really love to have this feature cause it drives me crazy when listening to music in a web page with no controls to raise or lower the volume. I know in NVDA it works which is really nice. That would be a huge improvement if the people who work on that to please to keep that in mind. Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] need help in understanding jaws any books or tutorials, out there?
Hello. Well no such luck, I did buy the book from access technology institute and did not see anything after I downloaded the file cause when I went to extract the file it had nothing inside. I did buy Emerging in to Jaws 2018 and was reading once you make the purchase which I did through pay pal no refunds and it was 94.99. If anyone has a copy could you email it to me as an attachment just don't like getting ripped off like this. I did look on the freedom scientific website and the training material they want you to purchase am not going to do it since it is 750 dollars on an SD card, and I did not know about anything about access technology institute, so if anything could use some help here. I mainly want the jaws book only, am not interested in Office. Thank you.

[JAWS-Users] need help in understanding jaws any books or tutorials out there?
Hello I was wondering if there any books or tutorials of jaws that are current so I can understand it better. I did come across this one book from the access technology institute and the book does cover jaws and is 95 dollars and is on Jaws 2018, does anyone know if its well worth the money cause was reading about it and they walk through every setting and with the book you get all text and audio formats to help you out. I am coming from Window Eyes and use NVDA that is also a good screen reader so just wondering what other people think.

[JAWS-Users] how to send youtube link
Hi Everyone, The subject asks it all--using Windows 10 and Thunderbird, how can I most easily send a Youtube link to a sighted user? I'm not sure they have Dropbox or anything like that so prefer not to get into file attachments or anything like that. Haven't done this in a while but the process seemed more straightforward with XP or Windows 7. I currently have Windows 10 and latest JAWS, for whatever that's worth, smile. Step by step much appreciated as will not figure this out without much coffee, and even then it's doubtful. Tia.

[JAWS-Users] question re timed license

Do I need to uninstall the currently running version or jump through any other hoops to avoid conflicts, and are my settings automatically retained?

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with online purchase
I tried Clifford's suggestion of turning off the virtual cursor, but still no joy. And yes, there are situations where I've had better results than Firefox, but not this time. Nate, I wondered how well NVDA works with IE as opposed to Edge. I've used it briefly after upgrading to Windows 10 but not enough to be really comfortable with it yet. i'll have a play with this some other time, but today ultimately decided that a phone order was easier and quicker, lol, so mission accomplished but still puzzled.

[JAWS-Users] need help with DAISY player
-- susan Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me whether the FS reader can be used to open and play Bookshare DAISY files? If so, what is the folder pathname in Windows 10 so the downloaded titles can be found? I know there used to be a Victor tool for this but it's no longer being supported and the Bookshare website seems to be promoting their webreader rather than any tool for downloading and saving titles. Since this may be straying from the topic of JAWS, I'd prefer responses off list to susan.wojte...@gmail.com if anyone can advise what works for them.

[JAWS-Users] question re 90-day timed license
Hi everyone, I plan to upgrade from JAWS 12 via the 90-day timed license. Will I need to run the OCR installer or anything else as a prerequisite? Also, I’m currently running JFW with Windows 7 and would like to continue with 7 until I’m comfortable enough twith JAWS to upgrade. Not sure at that point whether it would be best to format and/or do a clean install, but if so wondered if I could migrate JAWS to a flash drive temporarily. in other words, does the timed license allow for this or is this considered an additional authorization for which I might or might not be eligible. Hope question makes sense, smile. Any advice much appreciated, and thanks to those sending helpful messages re Windows 10, am watching with interest.

[JAWS-Users] strange behavior regarding downloads
Hello listers, I would appreciate any help or advice regarding an ongoing problem. I’m running JAWS 12 and IE 9 on a Windows 7 machine. Until relatively recently all downloaded files went to what I believe to be the default location of C:/username\downloads. However, recently my downloads have been going into my pictures folder for whatever reason and I can’t figure out how to change this location. In Internet Explorer I’m not seeing the usual open/save dialog box but JAWS will only say view downloads when the information bar comes up. Can anyone advise where to go and how to make the necessary changes. Hope this is enough information for getting on with. Many thanks.

[JAWS-Users] Twitter issues
Hi listers, Am hoping someone can give me some help with Chicken Nugget. I’ve had it for about three weeks but as of Wed. night it has suddenly stopped working. Instead of being able to send and receive messages in the usual way, it seems that my account/password is not recognized and any attempt to enter or change passwords places me back in the authorize application loop. I attempted a system restore without success and also reinstalled the program, but cannot see where to reenter the original activation code etc., so not sure whether or not this is the problem. I’ve also entered my iphone number into the account process but am new to the iphone and haven’t properly set up Twitterific as yet, and am generally confused about how all these apps handle the Twitter account itself, but think the problem is more that Chicken Nugget does not recognize the account than that I have set it up incorrectly. Anyway, in case this skirts the purpose of the list I’d appreciate any feedback either on or off list, especially if anyone else has seen this. Hope this all makes some sense. Tia.

[JAWS-Users] question about editing Winamp bookmarks
Hi listers, I’m using JAWS 12 and most recent version of Winamp, sorry I can’t quote it offhand. Firstly, I thought I had installed the full free version of Winamp, but am not completely sure and don’t know how to check. My main question, however, is that when attempting to edit/delete a bookmarked stream I was advised that the Winamp library needs to be installed Sure enough, I can’t find any sign of the library in preferences or anywhere else I can think to look. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Would it be best to reinstall over the top of the current version or can I do some kind of repair, assuming it isn’t just hidden or something?

[JAWS-Users] Firefox, which version

I have been trying to use Webvisum but have never gotten it to work. I’ve found a tutorial and believe that the problem lies in the fact that under Tools, options, Content there should be a heading to allow for loading images which I’m not seeing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] setting up/configuring speakers
Jose, I only have one soundcard so couldn't understand what the problem was. It turns out to be a relatively simple fix which seems to have something to do with the configuration of this case rather than the properties of the soundcard. With a bit of experimentation, my son found that I could/should keep speakers plugged into the rear audio jack and reserve the front jack for headphone use rather than attempting to plug speakers into the front. When I connect or disconnect phones windows obligingly provides me with a status message, but in any case I don't have to mess with soundcard properties. I'm not sure if this is a configuration unique to my system and may not have explained the solution very well, but offer this as an option to anyone else if this should unexpectedly happen to them. I'd be curious as to whether anyone else has seen this and can explain why the jacks might not be created equal. hth.

Hi everyone, I’m using Windows 7 with JAWS 12 and Office 2007. When working with large documents in Word, I will sometimes encounter a dialogue saying that I will not be able to undo an action and asking whether or not to continue. This happens when I am doing a lot of editing, and I have even been told that there are too many edits and need to close and reopen in order to continue. I think I have the autorecovery settings to save automatically every ten minutes, but when this other stuff starts happening I’m also getting popup messages that the saves are temporarily canceled or something like that. Can anyone tell me what might be going on and how to tweak this so I can work more efficiently? I thought the office clipboard might be turned on but don’t know how to deal with it.

Hi Steve and Dave, Many thanks for your responses. The solution to my problem turned out to be embarrassingly simple--I had forgotten to confirm my settings in gmail so the imap settings weren't being recognized at the login prompt. Anyway, now that I've synched up my account, what is the easiest way to clean up all the old messages that migrated from the gmail server? I want to be sure that Windows Live is not going to download all of them the next time I reopen it. Also, what are the recommended settings to increase accessibility?

Susan -Original Message- From: Steve Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 8:18 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] setting up Windows Live mail Susan, First, when you install the Livemail thing from Microsoft, as you run the installer, there are about nine or so checkboxes at the beginning. These determine which of the components you will be installing. If you don't want anything else, then just uncheck all of them except for the mail program itself. Second, you have two choices here. When you install Gmail, when you run Livemail, you can tell it your GMail address and it will automatically configure that for you, but it will configure it as a Mapi email client. If you want, you can set up Gmail manually instead. I'm going from memory here, because our Windows Live Mail is the earlier version that doesn't have the ribbons. In that version, accounts was under the Tools menu. I think you need to go to the Office Ribbon with alt-h and look for accounts. Or, it could be under the Options tab that you can access with control-shift-o, but I am not certain about that. Microsoft says when you open WLM, you click on Mail and then you will see accounts, for whatever that's worth. Once you find accounts, you do things in the same way that you did for Outlook Express. On the first tab, you enter in your Gmail address, password etc. Then, you go to the servers tab to specify the Gmail Pop3 and SMTP. You will need to go to the advanced tab to specify the port numbers and enable SSL checkboxes. NOTE: Before you set up your email in Google Mail, you need to log-in to Google Mail and check the radio button to enable Pop3. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

[JAWS-Users] problem with JAWS 12 not reading in Word
Good morning everyone, I'm pretty new to Office 2007, JAWS 12 and Windows 7, so hope yall will be patient with me. i'm not used to working in print view and am finding that with the above configuration JAWS will not read when I navigate by word or character, though reading by line or larger units seems to work. To clarify, I cannot read by word or character except with the JAWS cursor and it does not seem to be tracking the PC cursor fully accurately. Sometimes the PC cursor works when reading in selection mode but not always. I have tried changing font and point settings but am not sure if they are working or if JAWS is reporting them correctly, so maybe step by step help with this would be good. By the way, the above is occurring both with and without the virtual ribbon enabled and i'm still trying to master the ribbon either way, so you can see my frustration.

[JAWS-Users] problem with Windows media player
Hi everyone, Am hoping someone can help with this. I finally upgraded to a new PC with Windows 7 running JAWS 12, WMP 12 and the latest version of Winamp. I attempted to set Winamp as my default player for all audio files and playing CDs. This seemed to work initially but now Windows Media has begun grabbing files and I have been unable to find the preferences dialog to change it. At this poingt I not only can't play anything in Winamp but JAWS seems to lose focus whenever I try to go into the file dialog and I can't access the preferences either. I'm pretty sure I'm still on the classic skin but it's almost acting like that is messed up as well. Any thoughts on fixing this much appreciated. I'm not very comfortable with WMPand am new to current JAWS as well as Windows 7, so the more detailed the instructions the better.

The reason I'm asking so specifically about individual programs is that my son will essentially be putting together this PC from a kit so it will not have the usual bloatware, which means that we are trying to remember what we need to bring it up to speed. For example, it's my understanding that Windows 7 will include Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer. Since I'll likely have to download some things once I'm up and running, I obviously need a web browser to do this and wanted to be sure I didn't have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it. As to the email client to use, I've tried both Outlook and Windows Live Mail ever so briefly but not long enough to feel comfortable with either one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] questions about JAWS and Windows 7
Jim, Thanks for your response about the JAWS settings. The reason I'm asking so specifically about individual programs is that my son will essentially be putting together this PC from a kit so it will not have the usual bloatware, which means that we are trying to remember what we need to bring it up to speed. For example, it's my understanding that Windows 7 will include Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer. Since I'll likely have to download some things once I'm up and running, I obviously need a web browser to do this and wanted to be sure I didn't have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it. As to the email client to use, I've tried both Outlook and Windows Live Mail ever so briefly but not long enough to feel comfortable with either one. I will be getting JAWS 12 next week and will have a few weeks to play with it before purchasing and setting up the new PC, so maybe it is time to revisit outlook.

Re: [JAWS-Users] questions about JAWS and Windows 7
Steve and All, Thanks for all the helpful comments on Windows live Mail. I actually have it loaded onto this machine but have not gotten very far with it. I assume that I installed or configured it incorrectly since OE attempts to come up whenever I've gone into Windows Live, so I've decided to give it up until I get the new PC. It seems to be causing some folks a lot of grief but hopefully I will get past all that. In the meantime, I'm checking out any hints and/or tutorials I can find to hopefully minimize the learning curve.

Re: [JAWS-Users] questions about JAWS and Windows 7
Steve, What do you mean by the basic office program that you get with Windows? What exactly does it include? i assume this is another of Microsoft's efforts to help us do our computing tasks well? Anyway, I'm not sure what George meant about Office 2007 being buggy with JAWS 11 but imagine it has to do with the ribbon interface, which hopefully JAWS 12 will make easier. My husband is already using Office 2007 so I will hopefully be able to install a copy on his license. I feel i'm going to have a lot to learn at one time and it's hard to anticipate how difficult it will be from other people's reports of problems. Oh well, one day at a time I guess. I've been anticipating this transition for about a year and have finally decided to take the plunge now that I have the money saved rather than wait for this PC to die completely.

Don't believe everything you read. Office 2007 works fine with either Jaws 11 or 12 on a Win 7 machine. The Office 2010 programs that you install also should work, but the basic version of Office 2010 that you get with every Win 7 pc won't work very well because it is an ad-based free version that uses a web browser, so Jaws can't script it. - Original Message - From: Jorge Paez computertechjorgep...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 7:51 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] questions about JAWS and Windows 7 Office 2010. 20007 I found a bit buggy with JFW 11.
