[JAWS-Users] can't update win 10 laptop

[Lenny McHugh]

I very seldom use the laptop but try to keep it up to date. With both jaws 
18 and 2018 I cannot install updates. I did a search for check updates. I am 
told that there are 5 available. I can not find where to seledt or click on 
an update button. I have a list of the updates as a list. Where do I locate 
them for updating? Even when I go to shut down I am not presented with the 
option to update and shut down. I am about ready to give this laptop go good 
will.

Re: [JAWS-Users] VFO's Pearl Camera offer

[Steve]

It can be used in conjunction with Openbook.
It can also be used in conjunction with the newer Jaws 2018 OCR features.

Unlike other USB cameras, I don't think you can use Perl outside of FS 
programs.

This may be a silly question. Can the Pearl Camera be used by itself, or 
is a scanner required?

Steve, I realize my question sounded silly, but the Pearl is characterized 
as "portable." I suppose portable means you can shift it around your desk, 
but that's a more limited definition than I have in my head, which is 
something like "carryable," as in take it on trips out. But thanks for 
clarifying.

Um, you can't take a photo with the Perl camera if you're away from your 
Pc.

The Perl connects via a USB cable that is about 36 inches long.

JAWS 2018 purchasers are being offered a deal on VFO's Pearl Camera. I'd
be interested in any thoughts on the value of this device. For example, 
if

I'm away from my PC, does taking a photo with the Pearl have any use?
Also, how does the Pearl/JFW compare to the KNFB Reader or any other
accessible OCR device? Thanks. If I'm not asking the right questions,
please ask and answer them for me!!

Hi

When you start a new version of JAWS which is not covered by your current
authorization,  JAWS will start with a dialog asking you if you want to
authorize that version of JAWS or run in demo (40 minute) mode.  In order to
authorize that version of JAWS, you must have an unused activation key that
allows that version of JAWS.  If you don't have any unused activation keys,
you can go to the web site fsactivate.com to request a reset which will
usually give you three activation keys.  If you purchased A JAWS sma that
allows the version of JAWS that includes the version you are running or
higher, you can go to update authorization in the JAWS help menu to update
your authorization keys.

Morning all,

 

Yesterday I ordered a jaws 2018 upgrade.  I tried updating my authorization
to reflect this.  I however, jaws 2018 still runs in demo mode even after
rebooting the system.  I am using windows 10 1709 build 16299.15 if this
matters.  Do I need to have my activations reset for this to work?  I don't
have any activations left and never requested a reset.  Would this have
something to do with this?  Any ideas on this one.   Jaws 18 workks fine.

 

Matthew

Hi, Annette.   Thank you.  That strategy worked.  I guess I was unclear that
you should press and hold the insert-spacebar key combination and release
them, then followed by the print screen key.

Hi Mike,

Try performing the Screen Shade command as follows:

Press and hold down the Insert key and then press the spacebar.  Release
both keys.  Then press the Print screen key.  Repeat to toggle the screen
shade off.

Just for the heck of it, I have tried to activate and deactivate the screen
shade feature using Jaws 2018 under the latest build of Windows 10 pro on my
desktop computer.  However, when I press the spacebar/insert/print screen
key combination, I either hear a rapid puttering sound, or I hear the sound
associated with the feature being triggered, but Jaws doesn't indicate
whether or not if the feature is on or off.  I could have sworn I heard the
on or off announcement during Jonathan Mosen's podcast.Am I missing
something?  Well, perhaps, but that's another story.  Grin.

In my case on my windows 10 desktop computer, nothing happens when I press 
insert plus spacebard print screen.  I can turn on the screen shade using 
the quick settings option.

Hi

That is almost the same issue I have. I have a desktop with an external
monitor and when I use the command to activate the screen shade feature,
JAWS reports that it is on but it isn't working at all.
