Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors

[David Moore]

There are archived Webinars on the freedom Scientific Web site, that go over 
using the touch cursor in JAWS to use Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and it just 
allows you to press the arrow keys to simulate a flick or swipe in the 
direction of the arrow key. You do not need a touch screen for the touch cursor 
to work in JAWS. You need JAWS 16, I believe, or maybe 15, to have the touch 
cursor built into JAWS.
You can use the touch cursor in apps, just like using a phone. For example, you 
can use the touch cursor to flick through the Windows 10 news universal app.

Hey.

Yes, there is. Some of the new Windows app require the use of the touch
cursor to read or even activate things on the screen. It's an annoyance but
something everyone just has to get used to or live with. You should read
about it in your JAWS help files.

Hello all-

 

My computers are old and do not have touch screens. I keep hearing about the
touch cursor. Is ther any use for them for machines that do not have a touch
screen?  Is there a link where I can learn more about using them with JAWS
and which versions work with them?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making the first sentence in a paragraph a header?

[Brian Lee]

Hello Judy,

If you actually mean a header then the following doesn't apply.  I am
thinking you likely mean that you want to make the first sentence of a
paragraph a heading.  The following applies in Word:

You can select a sentence by pressing function key 8 three times.  If using
a mouse in Word you can hold down CTRL and do a single left click on a word
to select the entire sentence.  You can use a Word built-in heading style or
one you have created.  To use heading 1 style use Alt with CTRL and 1.  This
makes the selection a heading 1 style having a 16-point size of the Calibri
Lite font and the font color is blue.  

If you use CTRL with Alt and 2 you get a heading 2 style, which is the same
font and font color but the size is 13 point.  Using CTRL with Alt and 3
will use a heading 3 style, which is the same font but size 12 point.

If by chance you mean you want the first line of a paragraph to be a heading
then just select the line by moving focus on to it and using shift key with
down arrow to select it.  You can then use shortcut keys for the appropriate
heading.  

There are of course many styles to choose from but the first three levels of
headings are quite often used in Word documents.  

If you actually mean you want to create a header where text goes above the
document in the empty white space of the top margin then of course steps are
different.

Take care.

[JAWS-Users] DD-WRT or Tomato?

Hi,
I was considering putting my VPN tunnel onto my router, but it requires DD-WRT

Does anyone here have any experience with either of these two router firmwares

I would hate to install a router firmware that Jaws does not read.
Thanks for any info.

All,

 

When I am spellchecking an email, and have to go back to check other things
or alt tab to another window, I am finding Outlook will not let me finish
the email. What I end up doing is pressing escape and then pressing cancel
to complete my email 

 

Is anyone experiencing this? I am using Microsoft 2013, JAWS18and Windows
10. I have been using this same configuration for over a year without any
problems. Could the situation be an update? Suggestions?

Brian,

For purposes of inserting a link to a Webpage, I've found the method
described by Fernando to work every time: Copy the Webpage's address with
alt-d followed by control-c, then Select the text in the document, press
control-k, control-v, then enter. 

Two points to keep in mind. First, the text selection process needs to be
precise. For example, if I want to make the title of an article into a link,
I make sure that only the title is selected, without any subsequent
punctuation or spaces. 

Second, Word automatically underlines text that contains a hyperlink. I've
made it a practice, once the hyperlink has been inserted, to select the text
a second time and press control-u twice. For some reason, it must be done
twice in this instance to remove the underlining. Unless, of course, you
want that distracting underlining. 

The next time I need to insert an email address in a Word document, I'll try
your method and Fernando's. Thanks to you both for these ideas.

With JAWS cursor active do a page up.
Arrow down once to the line with "link to" and "text to display.  
Press home key and then use JAWS key with right arrow key until you find the

Simulate a left mouse button click to bring focus there. 
Put on PC cursor, select the text in the field and overwrite the text with

Route JAWS to PC again, do a page down and find the OK button.

I don't want to change the subject, but in case I'm confused.  When you said 
Upload, that means you want to transfer songs into Amazon Music; but in the

If you are talking about getting that music that you purchased onto your

Jaws said, "Magnification enhanced" and the colors changed to the ones that

the program did.

I understand that Microsoft was once not on the ball with anti-virus. In the
old days, almost anything was better than their MSAV software. But now? Why
go for a free anti-virus that's full of ads and other annoyances when you
can use a free AV that's built into your operating system? I can hardly
believe I'm for once not advocating the use of a third-party product, but
there you go. Seems to me, if you want good third-party anti-virus, why not
pay for it?

Even there though, you're faced with some dicey propositions. Mcfee or
whatever it's called from Network Associates is used by a lot of commercial
and government groups. Guess what? It's crap. Count on it to save your butt
and it will only start screaming at you after the damage has been done. I
don't know much about it lately but I've heard horrible things about
Norton/Symantec as well. And these are products that charge a hefty price
for their use.

Windows Defender works well with JAWS, though you may need to use the 
touch

cursor to review text that is not in focus.

If you want a quick overview of the state of Windows Defender, start
Microsoft Powershell and run the get-mpcomputerstatus command.

[JAWS-Users] Touch cursors

[wayne smith]

Hello all-

 

My computers are old and do not have touch screens. I keep hearing about the
touch cursor. Is ther any use for them for machines that do not have a touch
screen?  Is there a link where I can learn more about using them with JAWS
and which versions work with them?

Windows Defender for anti-virus. Free version of MalwareBytes for
anti-malware.

Defender is already built into your Windows 10 and probably good enough for
your purposes. It's less annoying than free AV out nowadays, which is always
full of ads and hardly ever great from an accessibility standpoint. And it
does detect a lot of stuff. Arguably, too much. But you can exclude areas of
your drive if you are getting false positives.

Re: [JAWS-Users] My wayward Books Folder

[Miriam Vieni]

I'm using Jaws 18. Jaws 18 and the companion software have been getting
along beautifully until my computer was moved from one physical location to
another. At the same time, all the items in Documents got mixed up,  and are
not in the same order that they were. That isn't a problem since I find
things by pressing the key with the first letter of the item I'm looking
for. But it can't be a coincidence that these changes happened after the
computer traveled from Westbury to South Huntington.

Yes, but that way your folder wouldn't disappear. There must be some

causing the folder to disappear. If that is true then your problem won't go
away until the offending software is  changed. Not much you can do about

Thanks. But the point of having the books folder is to use the companion
software. Otherwise, I can just unzip the book in downloads, where it
arrives and transfer it. The reason for using the companion software is that
one can unzip and transfer several books at one time and it's somewhat
easier than unzipping the book with windows.

Why don't you try this. Create a new folder and name it. Put the zip folder
which contains the book you want into that folder. Now make sure that the
zip folder has focus. Press the application key and arrow up until you find,
extract all. Press return on that. The book zipped file will be opened,  and
all of the files will be extracted to a file of the same name. You will then
have two files of the same name in the folder. One will be the original
zipped file.. The other will be your book with all of the necessary files in
it.  Copy and paste this file to your card or device.  You will then have
your book on the card or device,  and the folder you used will still be
there with both files in it,  one the zipped file the other the extracted
file of the same name. You can delete one of them if you wish. But anyhow, I
am confident if you unzip a book this way,  and then copy the book file to
your card or device, the new folder you created will be there when you go
back and will not disappear.

Jeff,

The Humanware Companion software always works the same way. It finds the zip
folder that contains the files for the book in my books folder. It unzips
the zip folder, puts all the files in  a folder, and then transfers this
folder onto the SD card for the VR Stream or the cartridge for the NLS
player. There's never been a problem, ever since Humanware developed this
piece of software. It works with zip folders from NLS and Bookshare. The
software is set to find the zip folders in my books folder which I've always
had, ever since I began downloading books in 2007.

When you perform the transfer to your SD card, do you transfer the entire
folder or just the files inside the folder? I'm wondering if the program
you're using to transfer the files is removing them once they are
transferred. If you're specifying the folder to transfer, it may be removing
it once it's been transferred. Just a thought.
