Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji
It's kind of interesting. There are quite a lot of them on my phone (a Samsung j120). I've never scrolled through the entire list. The Talkback screen-reader seems to handle them rather well though, at least as far as SMS goes. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: June 21, 2018 8:10 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji From what my sighted friend says, these are pictures--all kinds of things: faces, animals, sports stuff, musical instruments--that pop up on the screen when you press Windows key and either the period or the semicolon.

Thank you, Joseph, for the comprehensive explanation of emojis as they pertain to Windows and screen-readers. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of joseph.lee22...@gmail.com Sent: June 21, 2018 10:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji Hi, I'll try my best to address several questions about emoji panel in one go: Q. What is emoji? Emoji (a shorthand Japanese for "emotion characters", from Romanization of "emo" and "ji" (character)) is a picture that represents objects, emotions, people, events and so on. This came about in the late 1990's where people wanted to conserve space on data usage yet wanted to express their emotions to the fullest. This became pop0ular among Japanese mobile phone users via SMS (short messaging service) before it gain widespread usage in 2010's. Q. How do I read emoji? It'll depend on screen reader and synthesizer in use. Some synthesizers do support announcing emojis, while others don't. Also, the ability to recognize emojis will depend on how the screen reader processes Unicode data and instructions sent to speech synthesizers regarding how to process such characters. Q. How do I input emoji? In Windows 10 Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) and later, you can browse and insert emoji by pressing Windows+period or Windows+semicolon. Note that in 1709 and 1803 (April 2018 Update), only United States English keyboard layout will let you browse emojis. In Redstone 5 (under development), this restriction is gone. In 1709 and 1803, once emoji panel opens, press the arrow keys to move through emojis. Press Tab to cycle through emoji categories, or if you're looking for a specific emoji, type the name and the panel will return suggestions. To insert a given emoji, press Enter. In Redstone 5, you can still use arrow keys to move through emojis. However, pressing Tab will not cycle through categories; rather, it'll switch between emojis and categories. To select a different emoji category, press Tab to go the categories, then use left or right arrows to move through categories and press Enter. In case of People category, you can choose a skin tone. Once the emoji is found, press Enter. Q. Does JAWS support emoji panel? Not at this time (according to tests). Some users asked VFO regarding this matter not long ago. Q. Does other screen readers support emoji panel? Write to me privately regarding this matter please (not only to keep the topic on scope, but also because I am the one who brought support for emoji panel for a certain screen reader; hint: there will come a day when a certain scripts will not be required to interact with emoji panel, but that's for another time).

Thank you, Joseph. Pressing enter works! Smile. I put one in a document and then later wasn't sure what I'd done before. It said the emoji was selected, so I pressed control c to copy it, then control v to paste. Works everywhere else in Microsoft! LOL. Not here.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji
Narrator reads the lists of emoji. There are several categories, which you can get to by tabbing. JAWS won't read the lists, but it will read the emoji once it's pasted into a message or document. However, I've tried several times to copy and paste another, but it won't copy. The context key says that copy is disabled and control c won't work as it did before. A bug in Microsoft? Smile. But there are hundreds of emoji in the various categories. Fun to play with if I can get it to work.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Just For Fun, Emoji
From what my sighted friend says, these are pictures--all kinds of things: faces, animals, sports stuff, musical instruments--that pop up on the screen when you press Windows key and either the period or the semicolon. Something to make people smile, I guess, though some of the faces were crying. Many more emoji than on her phone, she said. Shrug. Would be nice to have access as partially sighted JAWS users do. Not complaining.
