Hello there; why don't you just turn off the screen saver? - Original Message - From: Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 1:37 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Setting JFW to quietly open up a program Hello Prateek, One way you can stop the application title and document name being announced when you start a program is by adjusting the verbosity settings in configuration manager. You can make the changes for a specific application or to apply as default for all programs. Use JAWS key with 6 to open a configuration manager for the application you are working in, and use CTRL+Shift+D to load the default configuration manager. With default.JCF open, use Alt with S to bring up the settings menu, and then press V to open the verbosity dialog box. Use tab key to move to the group of radio buttons from which to choose a verbosity level, and choose by using up and down arrow keys between the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. With one of the radio buttons selected, tab to the settings button for that level of verbosity and press spacebar. You will be presented with a list of items. The top choice is for the application start message. It should not be checked. If it is checked then press spacebar to remove the checkmark. Press the letter D to move to the document name choice and make sure it is not checked. If it is checked then use spacebar to remove the checkmark. Tab to OK and press spacebar. Tab to the group of radio buttons and make sure the selected button is for the level you changed. Tab to OK and press spacebar. Use CTRL+S to save changes and close the program with Alt+f4. You can do the above steps for each level of verbosity if you want to so that the program and document names are not announced when you open them. You could write AutoStartEvents in individual program script files, but I think this way should accomplish what you are trying to do. However, I am not sure how the changes will affect pop up windows, screen savers, etc. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Changes and fixes in update for the JAWS 12 Public Beta posted September 22nd
Greeting all, For those of you who have installed the first public beta of JAWS 12 in early September, you should be alerted of an update when you restart it today. Below, I have included the list of changes we have made and we are continuing work now as we work towards another update in early October. Thanks to all of you who have provided feedback and we look forward to hearing move in the coming weeks. Regards, Eric Damery Freedom Scientific New Features added in second Public Beta, JAWS 12.0.451 The following features have been added to the latest JAWS 12 public beta release. Reading HTML Tables The default setting for reading HTML table titles has changed so that JAWS now conforms to industry defined HTML standards by only reading table headers that are properly marked up. You can see this when using the CTRL+ALT+ARROW Keys to move through an HTML table. While the default setting is now set to Only Marked Headers, you can continue to use earlier functionality for reading HTML tables if you are more comfortable with those settings. To change settings, press INSERT+V to open JAWS options, and then press T to move to the Table Titles Announce option. Next, press SPACEBAR to cycle through and select a new setting, and then ENTER to save the change. Remember that you can always use Personalized Settings (INSERT+SHIFT+V) to customize how JAWS reads table column and row headers on any given Web site, without modifying how JAWS reads table headers on other Web sites. For more information about reading HTML tables, visit the Tables section of Freedom Scientific's Surf's Up http://www.freedomscientific.com/../Training/Surfs-Up/Tables.htm . NCAA Football Lookup Source in Research It NCAA Football is a new addition to Research It. Use it to search for the schedules or results of your favorite college football teams. Because of the number of college teams, there are several ways to get search results. One way is to open Research It (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R), type a date using the mm/dd/ date format, and then select NCAA Football. This shows a full list of games scheduled or played during that week. Another is to leave the search field blank and see schedules or results for the current week. The last way is to search for your favorite college teams by typing team names separated by a semicolon. This shows the current week's schedules or results for those schools. For example, type Florida; Texas; California to view results for teams with Florida, Texas, or California in their names. Search results display in the Virtual Viewer as a link so that you can open a Web browser and read a recap of past games or a preview of future games. Press CTRL+DOWN ARROW to move between the dates displayed for the week. Update to NBA Scores and NHL Scores The NBA Scores and NHL Scores lookup sources in Research It have been expanded and now provide links to box scores and game summaries. Each game listed in the Virtual Viewer is now a link. Select any link to launch your Web browser and read a recap and statistics of past games, or a preview of future games. Improvements with Adobe Flash JAWS can now announce buttons and other items that did not work correctly on some Flash Web sites. Examples of Web sites that now function properly are Audible.com and Dominos.ca. Enhancements in JAWS 12.0.451 (September 2010) The following is a list of improvements made between this release and the initial public beta release. JAWS * Resolved a customer reported issue where it was possible to pan out of the virtual buffer while reading with braille in the JAWS help file. * Resolved an issue in the PlaceMarkers dialog box where focus would move from the list of PlaceMarkers to the radio buttons when using access keys to filter the list. * Resolved an issue where JAWS would announce blank when moving through different folder levels of Windows Explorer. This happened on Windows 7 systems. * Resolved an issue with the keystroke assigned to the PC Cursor on the Focus 80 braille display. * Resolved an issue where the braille display would show extra information for items that are not highlighted. * Resolved an issue with the NFL Scores lookup source in Research It where dates were missing for game schedules and results. * Resolved a customer reported issue where ALT+A did not move focus to the Apply button in Settings Center. * Resolved an issue where braille translation settings were not being saved in Settings Center after closing and restarting JAWS. * Resolved an issue where deleted PlaceMarkers would return after restarting JAWS. * Resolved Contracted English Braille errors with the ar, en, ed, and gh signs. * Resolved an issue where Contracted Braille Input was not working correctly in several applications. * Resolved an issue where the Flight Info lookup source did not provide consistent results. * Resolved an

Thanks for the info Wynn But Outlook 2010 has reverted to back to how it was in Jaws 11 whereas I have to either cursor down then back up to read the current message details in a list view or Insert + Up Arrow. If I read a page on www.macworld.co.uk I can see the page appears on white on black then it is immediately covered with white flash sort of thing and it is then only possible to see some of the adverts. This is using Windows 7 using the High Contrast white on black theme. And what's all this rubbish about NFL? Isn't that putting U S A specific stuff that only affects the USA and not the rest of the world? Isn't Jaws a GLOBAL product? So does this mean you are now going to do the same for every country in the world giving them the same instant access to their favourite sport? I doubt it very much so why are you giving a preference to American users and not the rest of the world? I think have been moaning enough about the amount of money they pay for Jaws, so why are those outside the US having to pay for US only features?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Inconsistent behaviour with JAWS 12 latest and Thunderbird latest
I agree. The first beta of JAWS 12 worked great. Once I installed the update yesterday, I'm noticing quirky behavior when reading web pages. Like JAWS is now reading images contained within a div../div tag as a form button. It's quite annoying and I see no way of turning it off.

[JAWS-Users] Sound keeps setting itself to zero.
Friends, Can anyone assist me with my Dell Inspiron 1545 problem? The computer which is running Windows XP Pro and Jaws 11 and 10 full versions keeps resetting its volume levels to zero. I am not sure if this is a Jaws setting or what causing this. I use a logitech headset and microphone and the headset works fine but if I send someone a message on AIM or click on a website and this volume problem has occurred I cannot tell if someone sent me a message or if the website is attempting to open or anything like that as I have my computer sounds still coming through the computer. The only sounds i have coming through the headset is Jaws. I have looked through my jaws settings but not really sure what setting I would be looking for just trying to see if something seemed obvious.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Scripts to convert a book to be readablewithTalks with Mobile Phone
Yes of cource, totally free. I am sure it is useful, we read books on mobile phones for a long time using it. It is easy to find a place were we stoped before, just pressing 4 key to find the heading with the bookmark number 5 for instance, this being the last one I heared last time i read that book. It is possible to read books like on the computer. Not only books, any kind of texts. When i go to work for instance, on the bus I am reading scaned books using headphones.
