Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws cursor

You can also try routing JAWS cursor to PC (Insert+numpad minus) then do 1 or 2 
 left mouse clicks (numpad /).

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws cursor reads blanks problem

[Fernando Gregoire]

The JAWS Cursor is becoming more and more useful year after year.
In Windows Vista or newer, JAWS cursor will say blank in apps wose UIs use
DirectDraw and hardware acceleration to draw screen contents. In 8 and
newer, due to changes in the underlying DCM technology which supports
assistive technologies video drivers like JAWS's FS Video Intercept, you
will not be able to use JAWS cursor in Unrestricted mode, and performance
will be a bit worser if your video card is not WDDM1.3-based. Additionally,
Windows 8 and 10 “universal” or Modern apps does not allow using JAWS
cursor at all.
So, answering your specific question: If you aren't receiving alerts about
video driver when you start JAWS, you'll probably fix nothing by changing
the video card.

Hope it helps.

Hello list
For a long time I get no info when I use the jaws cursor. JFW just says “blank

Hi, no, think of it as the touch screen and the left, right, up and down 
arrows keys as swiping with your fingers as you would on the touch screen.

Hi Brian, to use the touch cursor, hold down the shift key and press the +
(plus) key ( PC cursor key) on the numeric.
Then left, right, up and down arrows keys to navigate. Use the space key to
activate the task you want to perform.
Pressing the plus key twice will deactivate the touch cursor.

The JAWS cursor works on the Windows 10 machine here, except in some of the
relatively new Windows 10 applications (e.g., Settings), where I need to use
the Touch Cursor instead.
I think this is related to how newer applications build their graphical
interfaces. You really need to use the touch cursor for these.

Hi Sharon  Prateek,

Try the following:

Question: Is there a way to use the JAWS Cursor in Firefox?
Answer: You can use the JAWS Cursor in Firefox after turning off Firefox's
hardware acceleration setting.
1. In Firefox, press ALT+T to open the Tools Menu and then choose Options.
2. From the Advanced options, choose the General tab.
3. Press TAB to move to the Use Hardware Acceleration when Available

I did as directed and Jaws cursor still reads nothing except some graphic
numbers.  Also, Jaws did not recognize forms mode on my Google home page so
I put it back the way it was and the forms mode works again.

Using latest Jaws and latest FF on Win 7. Maybe these directions are for Win
8?

Hi,
This is also for tb.


Firefox and Thunderbird both use Direct2D renderingby default. This
prevents the JAWS cursor from detecting information.
Fortunatelyit is easy to disable this rendering. You need to do it
once for each versionof Firefox and Thunderbird you use on your
system. To do
this you need to settwo configuration variables to true:
gfx.direct2d.disabled, and layers.acceleration.disabled.

1. Open the Configuration Editor. In Firefox, enter about:config in the
address  bar. In Thunderbird, go to the Tools menu and navigate to
Options,
Advanced,  General, then Config Editor.

2. Once in the Configuration editor, press TAB until you are in the list
of  options.

3. Pressing UP or DOWN ARROW will move you between options or typing the
first  few letters of an option's name will move you to a specific
option
in the  list. In this case, type gfx and press DOWN ARROW to
gfx.direct2d.disabled.

4. Assuming the option is set to false, press the APPLICATIONS KEY to
open  the context menu and choose Toggle. This will change the
option to true.

5. Go through the same process for layers.acceleration.disabled.

6. Close the Configuration Editor and restart Firefox or Thunderbird.
The JAWS  cursor should now show content.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS cursor not reading anything in Firefox

[Mike B.]

Hi Sharon,

This note pertains to FF 34 but, since I did this I haven't had any Jaws 
cursor problems with the latest version as well.

From:
Harri Tuominen
Hello!

Perhaps you should change this value from true to false in about config 
page:

layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled

I use Firefox 34.0 with JAWS 15.0.12085 and the JAWS cursor works quite 
well.

See also this discussion:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1095971

Harri

This is the default setting:

layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled set Boolean true

This is what I changed it to:
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled set Boolean false

With this line of text highlighted, press the application key to open the 
context menu  press the letter, T, to toggle it to true or false.

Take care.
Mike

[JAWS-Users] JAWS cursor still not reading anything on a web page in Firefox after the about: config changes

[Dujari, Prateek]

Hello there. I made the changes as recommended by Angela with the GFX and layer 
setting to true as she suggests below. The only thing changed is the JAWS 
cursor now just reads the top title bar of the web page saying the name of that 
web page (for example BBC  or whatever) and then saying the browser name 
'Mozilla Firefox'.
So my problem remains. I'd like to not only peruse the whole page on the screen 
with the JAWS cursor but also be able to then click on buttons and links on the 
page using the jaws cursor just like you can do with the default Internet 
Explorer configuration.
Any further solutions please?
Thx much
Prateek

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Cursor Firefox 34.0.5

[Mike B.]

Hi Scorpio,

Disabling hardware graphics acceleration in Office / Word 2010 / 2013 will 
help these programs as well.  Check these notes:
From:
Jean Menzies via Jfw
Just thought I'd share this for those who want to try it.

The symptom. I've often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, 
or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read
a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two 
tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish.

In going through settings, I came across an option to Disable Hardware 
Graphics Acceleration. I checked that and things seem to be much more 
responsive
now. I'll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this, go into 
Options, Advanced, and the item is in there.  If you use the, Alt + G 
keystroke,
you'll get to it much quicker.  From what I read on Google, if you change it 
in one MS program, it should affect all of them. Hey, I don't need graphics
anyway. haha.
Hope this works.
Jean
Note From Mike B.: My settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to 
update style, checkbox.  To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y.

Hi Jean  Ted,

I went into my MS Word 2010  played around with these 2 settings a little
bit  what I found was, sometimes they would hold  sometimes not.  So, when
I found that they were both checked after a few attempts of saving these
settings again,I got the hell out with the escape key!  LOL  LOL

Note: I'm not sure but, it might make a difference in which order you check
these options.  I've got mine saved now , don't want to play around
anymore.

Take care.
Mike

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Cursor Firefox

[Mike B.]

Hi All,

This is a note I found for the use of the Jaws cursor for Windows7, J14 / 
15,  Firefox.  I tried the steps below with XP, J13, Firefox 26,  they 
appear
to be working.  It's tricky so, just a warning.

Reviewing a Web Page With the JAWS Cursor While Using Mozilla Firefox
Version 4 and newer
(Adapted from a GW Micro Knowledge Base article)

When using Mozilla Firefox version 4 or newer, reviewing web pages using the
JAWS Cursor is problematic. Mozilla is using a new graphical technology in
Firefox version 4 and newer which bypasses the offscreen model, (OSM). Since
JAWS For Windows depends on the OSM to allow the user to review the screen
using the JAWS Cursor, things don't work the same as with older versions of
Firefox, (such as version 3.6).

Solution:

1. Launch Mozilla Firefox.
2. Press Control-L to open a new link.
3. Type about:config and press Enter.
4. If you are presented with a dialog which warns you about the dangers of
making changes, Tab to the I'll be careful, I promise! button and press
Enter.
5. At this point you should be out of Virtual Cursor mode and on a filter
Edit Box. If not, turn off Virtual Cursor mode by pressing JAWS Key - z.
6. In the filter Edit Box type direct2d.disabled.
7. Press Tab to get to the list of filtered entries and you should see one
called gfx.direct2d.disabled with a default value of False.
8. Press Enter to toggle this value to True.
9. Press Shift-Tab to get back to the filter Edit Box and type
layers.acceleration.disabled.
10. Press Tab to get to the list of filtered entries and you should see one
called layers.acceleration.disabled with a default value of False.
11. Press Enter to toggle this value to True.
12. Press Control-W to close the configuration window.
13. Restart Firefox.

you should now be able to use the JAWS Cursor to review web pages while
using Mozilla Firefox version 4 and newer.

*** end of snip ***

 Dave Carlson

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws cursor not following PC cursor

[inthaneelf]

the trouble is you missed a step, on a webpage you need to stop the auto
read of the page, then update the page (the trick they use for the page
reading is to cause the pc cursor to move from top to bottom of the page in
a read all type manover, and cause the virtual to follow, thus you start the
reading and keep going down the page, to get things lined up you need to
stop the auto read, make sure your virtual cursor is on the correct spot,
refresh the screen (insert and escape) and then do the route jaws to pc.

this doesn't always get you where you wanted to go, dynamic pages are
notorious for making things extremely hard to get at now a days, but if the
thing is  accessible at all, then this is the way to get at it.

HTH,

Hi

In IE, when JAWS is using the virtual cursor, I have never seen routing the
JAWS cursor to the virtual pc cursor come anywhere close to the actual
position on the screen.  I have not use Fire Fox that much to have tried it.
I recall some previous version of JAWS where Freedom Scientific said they
had resolved this issue, but I've never seen any evidence of that.

a control Jaws 13 isn't recognizing with either IE or Firefox. When I route

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws cursor not following PC cursor

[Sharon Gosling]

Why don't you just change Firefox to the default browser, at least 
temporarily, so the email will open in Firefox.  I have done that. I have 
also opened a link in one browser, copied the url onto the clipboard and 
then opened the other browser and inserted the url.
I find that in most cases Firefox is the most useful for many websites but 
occasionally IE will do a better job.
I don't have any advice about the Jaws cursor as I am finding it next to 
useless for anything on the Internet lately with either browser.

I wonder if you alt-tab after routing JAWS to PC, if that would give you 
the correct program  clickable element? Sometimes, when i exit Forms

[JAWS-Users] Jaws cursor

[Jeronimo Schöber]

Hello,
I know this may sound stupid but I realize that I don't really know how to work 
with the jaws cursor efficiently.
I know how to switch back and forth and how to move the jaws cursor to and from 
the pc cursor.
I know that Jaws-key+r does somehow switch the area in which the Jaws cursor is 
able to move.
But actually I don't quite realize the differences betwenn the areas.
Any hints are greatly apreciated since I need to navigate a program that is not 
accessible by using the pc cursor allone.
Thanks

Hi Jeronimo;

Your question is not a stupid question.  There is only 1 stupid question, 
that is the 1 that is not asked!  If there is 1 person with a question about 
something in particular, there are probably hundreds of others wanting to 
know the same thing!
Below is an article that explains the functions of all 4 cursors.
 About JAWS Cursors
 Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors. These
 cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked
 with Windows cursors.

 The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes
 This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and
 applications.
 This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through
 options in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons. As you type
 information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press. If you
 are
 making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights the
 currently selected object. The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS
 starts. If you are using a different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns
 you to the PC Cursor.

 The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer
 The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other
 applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read,
 such
 as toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when
 it
 is moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application
 window that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS
 Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS.

 The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment
 The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is
 activated by default when entering an HTML document. The virtual PC Cursor
 speaks the number of frames in a document, and the number of links in the
 frame. You can switch between frames, and JAWS reads graphics labeled by
 alt
 tags in the HTML code.

Invisible Cursor

The JAWS cursor is basically the mouse cursor that is visible on screen.
The invisible cursor can be moved around just like the JAWS cursor to view
information.  It works like the mouse cursor but can not be seen on screen
or effect objects.  Therefore you can not use the NumPad / (left mouse
click) or NumPad * (right mouse click) on an object.  It is useful to read
information without disturbing the mouse cursor.  It is also useful to
determine colors or whatever might change when the mouse is over an object.
It will not cause ToolTips to pop up.

Hope this has helped.  Take care.
Mike

Hello,
I know this may sound stupid but I realize that I don't really know how to 
work with the jaws cursor efficiently.
I know how to switch back and forth and how to move the jaws cursor to and 
from the pc cursor.
I know that Jaws-key+r does somehow switch the area in which the Jaws cursor 
is able to move.
But actually I don't quite realize the differences betwenn the areas.
Any hints are greatly apreciated since I need to navigate a program that is 
not accessible by using the pc cursor allone.
Thanks

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws cursor

[Alan Terrie Robbins]

Jeronimo,

 Once the JAWS cursor is on, simply arrow around the screen
with your arrow keys. This is very helpful especially when
installing programs with different installation screens.
Also review the documentation in the JAWS help files.  Hope
this helps

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws cursor

[Donald Marang]

The JAWS cursor moves around the mouse pointer.  You said that you already 
know that the NumPad - (minus) key puts you in JAWS cursor mode Insert + 
NumPad - (minus) moves the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor where the focus is 
currently placed, and NumPad + (plus) will return you to the normal PC 
cursor mode.  Yes, the Insert + R keystroke sets the JAWS cursor 
restriction.  In JAWS 10 these options are; Application (default), real, 
current, focus, frame, and unrestricted.  These restrictions will not let 
the mouse leave the specified container, normally staying within the 
application's window.  This prevents hearing unrelated information, like 
Desktop Icons,  from being spoken while poking around.  Unrestricted mode 
lets you move the mouse anywhere on the screen.


There are many ways to move the mouse around at this point and have JAWS 
announce what is underneath.  The PageUp key will move to the top of the 
window, the PageDown key to the bottom of the window, the Home key will move 
to the left side of the window, and the End key will move to the far right 
side of the window or container.  You can simply use the arrow keys. 
Pressing Control with either the Left or Right Arrow keys will move to the 
next item in the container, such as the next piece of text or graphic. 
There are other combinations, such as holding down the Alt key while using 
the Arrow keys that moves the mouse in different increments.  Someone else 
might want to specify further.  I don't really use these  keys.  Typically, 
you will want to click on an item with the NumPad / (divide) key or right 
click using the NumPad * (multiply) key on the object under the mouse 
cursor.  Another useful key is Alt + Delete, which announces cursor 
information.  It will say the cursor mode which is active, the absolute X, Y 
position in pixels, the current restriction if not using the PC cursor, and 
many times the percentage of the way down in a scrolling window.  The 
percentage is handy in browser windows as well.


The best way to understand the PC cursor mode is to play around and explore.

Don Marang

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS cursor and PC cursor

[Lisa Belville]

Yep.  I route JAWS to PC all the time.

On the other hand, if I know there's something the JAWS cursor is seeing 
that the PC cursor should have focused on, I'll route PC to JAWS as a way to 
make it focus on the item if I can't get focus restored by alt+tabbing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS cursor and PC cursor

[Jack]

And this is a personal choice, but I turned off the screen track virtual 
cursor.  With this turned off, the Jaws cursor and the mouse cursor can 
move independently of one another.  So, if I'm needing to find something on 
the screen with Jaws, but someone sighted is looking at the monitor, the 
information on the screen doesn't move with the Jaws cursor.  The person 
using the mouse has control over that.
It makes it easy if you're both on the same screen.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS cursor and PC cursor

[Marilyn Walker]

Jack, on some programs, such as some antivirus programs, you find that not 
all of the on screen text reads to you.  You know it is there but you can't 
get at it.  So you can re-route the jaws cursor by pressing the insert key 
and the jaws cursor key so that it reads as the jaws cursor would.  marilyn

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS cursor and PC cursor

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, Jack.

The JAWS cursor is equal to the mouse pointer.  You can use it to read the 
screen, but you can also simulate mouse clicks with it just as a sighted 
person would when using a mouse.


The PC cursor is the same as the blinking cursor in a word processor or in 
an edit field in a dialog.  Basically, it reads the part of the screen that 
has the focus or that's active.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws Cursor

[David Griffith]

I have changed the subject line.
The best way to understand the Jaws cursor is that it is another name for
the mouse cursor that sighted people can use. Jaws enables the navigation of
this mouse cursor across the screen with the use of the normal arrow cursor
keys.  If you were sighted you would see the mouse cursor moving around the
screen as you used the arrow keys. So when ever you hear jaws cursor think
mouse cursor. I have never understood why FS did not call it this in the
first place.

As it is the mouse cursor the logical keystroke to use is the left and
right mouse click. That is / and * on the NumPad. I think it is Caps lock
plus 8 on laptop layout.  Alternatively you could use an actual mouse button
to provide the clicks needed but you would have to be careful not to move
the mouse.

The most unintuitive thing about using the jaws/mouse cursor is the
restriction settings.  I sometimes find when turning on this cursor I find
myself stuck in the taskbar for example.  I normally press Insert R until I
hear unrestricted and go from there. I then set frame and window restriction
as needed from there by repeatedly using Insert R.

Other people may have other ways of approaching this but I found this works
for me.

Regards

David Griffith

Yes I do.  What I don't know, once the routing is done, is whether to press
enter, right click, left click or press application key, all of which can be
done at one time or another on this program or that one.

 Maria, do you know how to re-route the jaws cursor to pc?  I never could 
 do
 a thing with the jaws cursor until someone said us the combination of 
 insert
 plus jaws cursor key to be able to use it.  It works!  marilyn
