Jaws 12 with Win 7 or 8.1?

2014-07-30 Thread Cliff Self via Jfw
Will my Jaws 12 work with either of these?  I have to retire my XP machine and 
get a new one.  It's going to be hard to afford a Jaws upgrade at the same 
time.  For those who have run both Win 7 and 8.1, which do you prefer?  Do you 
find one to work better with Jaws than the other?

thanks,

Cliff

Hi,
JAWS 12 will work with Windows 7, not Windows 8.1.
Cheers,
Joseph

I'm not a frequent JAWS user myself, however I do know JAWS 12 will not 
work under Windows 8.1. I like and use both of them. Windows 7 is on 
this laptop and Windows 8.1 is currently in a virtual machine on this 
laptop. I plan to do a dual boot setup so can have the best of both 
worlds. Windows 8.1 though is miles better than Windows 8.

Re: HP 1800 printer help with help

2014-07-30 Thread Anna Byrne via Jfw

If it is a .pdf, e-mail it as an attachment to
conv...@robobraille.org

It will be converted to a text file, and *maybe you can read it then.

good luck.

It apparently uses a split screen with topics on one side and the HP 
viewer on the others side of the screen. I have been unable to 
figure out how to move from one side to the other. F6 has no effect, 
and the Jaws cursor is of no help. Any help out there?  Tom

Re: Jaws 12 with Win 7 or 8.1?

2014-07-30 Thread Bob W via Jfw
I have  recently gone through the same agonizing decision. An upgrade of 
jaws would have cost as much as a new laptop.

I have upgraded to windows 7, trying to avoid touch screens as much as 
possible.

Good luck.

Bob

Hello:
Yes:
Jaws 12 will work fine with windows 7. I use jaws 12 on a windows 7 
professional 64-bit machine for sonar with cakewalking and it works just fine. 
As far as windows 8 goes? I'm not certain.
Hope that helped.

Ernest.

I use JAWS 15. I think they got it right with windows 7, for me, it works 
the best. I have windows 8 on another machine and it's ok, there just seems 
to be many things that don't work as well or quite the same for me there.

RE: accessibility of office 365

Hello.

I'm just curious if you're speaking of the online version of Outlook or if 
you're speaking of the downloadable version of Outlook?

Stan:

I use the Outlook e-mail portion of office 365 at work, and have found that it 
works quite well with Jaws.

I have had difficulty with the calendaring feature, though, and am in the 
process of trying to get it to work better.

We just made the switch to Office 365 this past Spring, so am still in learning 
mode here.

I hope this helps at least a little.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone use office 365? I am interested in getting a subscription but I'm 
not sure about the accessibility. I have a student 2013 version on one of my 
PCs and I do ok with it.
Much thanks in advance,
