Re: [JAWS-Users] User Account Control Settings, Setting it to Zero

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Mike,

Note that in Windows 8 and 10, unlike in Windows 7, when you set UAC to 0% you 
stop the dialog from appearing but, instead of disabling UAC to run everything 
as administrator by default as in Windows XP and prior versions, the UAC will 
automatically deny these permisions for programs trying to write, delete or 
modify something in a folder requiring administrator privileges different to 
the one in which the executable is stored.
You can use scripts or group policies to disable UAC in Windows 10, but some 
things like some UWP apps and special shell extensions will not work properly, 
for a reason I don't know why.
However, when you make changes in the UAC slider and press the OK button, a UAC 
confirmation will appear in a secure desktop, therefore JAWS will take a few 
seconds before speaking, and it could speak nothing if you have your current 
JAWS version disabled in the Ease of Access Center. When this dialog appear, 
simply answer the confirmation as any other UAC dialog.
Although is less safe, you can also configure UAC to display confirmations in a 
window on your user's desktop instead of a secure one, so you don't need to 
wait until JAWS switches its response to the secure desktop.

Hope it helps a bit!

Hi All,

Running Windows 10 Pro latest with Jaws 16 thru J2018 latest.  I don't like UAC 
interfering when I want to run / install a program, at all!  But, when I try to 
set it to, 0, then I okay it, I can't get out of the dialog!  I've tried 
changing the setting with the Touch Cursor as well as using left mouse clicks, 
& still can't get that damn setting changed!  LOL

Can anyone give me some tips on how to change it to ZERO!?  All help will be 
greatly appreciated!  Thanks mooy moocho.

[Hareth]

That's unusual,
Try below commands, Make sure to run the command prompt as administrator.
Disable UAC:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v
EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Re enable UAC:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v
EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

You need to re boot your system for that to take effect.

Re: [JAWS-Users] FS Reader And Page Numbers, Followup

[Adrian Spratt]

Rebecca,

Yes, I'd read the documentation and had high hopes that were soon dashed. 
However, in the past I'd also noticed that the "go to" command verbalized a 
page number. so on getting your message just now, I tried it on the Bookshare 
book I'm currently reading. No luck. JAWS just said something like 000. That 
was odd. I opened another book and tried control-g there. This time it 
verbalized the current page number. 

So, as you suggest, book producers format pagination inconsistently. But when 
it's formatted right for a screenreader, control-g is the answer. Too bad that 
I would find it helpful in my current book.

Thanks for your determination or stubbornness. Whichever it is, it gets results.

As a followup to what I wrote below, in Kurzweil's defense, FS Reader would not 
open the long Daisy book that Kurzweil could not open.

Rebecca

Hello Adrian,

Call it determination or just stubbornness, smile, but I think I've found a 
work-around for determining where you are when using FS Reader.  

I downloaded a Daisy book from Bookshare and unzipped it.  FS Reader opened it 
and the book was easily navigated, with links and headings, just as in a web 
page.  

There didn't seem to be page numbers at the bottom or top of pages when I used 
the page-down key, so I tried the go to page command, control-g.  At first, I 
just typed in a page number and pressed enter, and after a pause, was taken 
there.  Then, after paying a bit more attention to what I was hearing in the go 
to page dialogue, smile, I realized that it indeed gives you the page number of 
your current location-which is exactly what you wanted.

So just press control-g and it will say 30, 41 of 356, for example, because the 
introductory pages which are numbered with Roman numbers are included in the 
total count.

If all you want is the current page number, press escape and you're back to the 
text.  

I have to thank you for forcing me to try something new.  Sometines needing to 
teach something is the best way to learn oneself!  LOL.

There have been occasions where my older version of Kurzweil could not open a 
very long book.  I'll now have to try those with FS Reader. Initially at first 
glance though, FS has done a nice job with this, and it may give me access to 
books I could not get my ears around before.  I'd even played with opening epub 
books, they open automatically in Edge, but I still find them cumbersome. . 

HTH.

[JAWS-Users] FS Reader And Page Numbers, Followup

[Rebecca Lineberger]

As a followup to what I wrote below, in Kurzweil's defense, FS Reader would
not open the long Daisy book that Kurzweil could not open.

Back to plan b,c, or d?  Smile.

Rebecca

Hello Adrian,

Call it determination or just stubbornness, smile, but I think I've found a
work-around for determining where you are when using FS Reader.  

I downloaded a Daisy book from Bookshare and unzipped it.  FS Reader opened
it and the book was easily navigated, with links and headings, just as in a
web page.  

There didn't seem to be page numbers at the bottom or top of pages when I
used the page-down key, so I tried the go to page command, control-g.  At
first, I just typed in a page number and pressed enter, and after a pause,
was taken there.  Then, after paying a bit more attention to what I was
hearing in the go to page dialogue, smile, I realized that it indeed gives
you the page number of your current location-which is exactly what you
wanted.

So just press control-g and it will say 30, 41 of 356, for example, because
the introductory pages which are numbered with Roman numbers are included in
the total count.

If all you want is the current page number, press escape and you're back to
the text.  

I have to thank you for forcing me to try something new.  Sometines needing
to teach something is the best way to learn oneself!  LOL.

There have been occasions where my older version of Kurzweil could not open
a very long book.  I'll now have to try those with FS Reader. Initially at
first glance though, FS has done a nice job with this, and it may give me
access to books I could not get my ears around before.  I'd even played with
opening epub books, they open automatically in Edge, but I still find them
cumbersome. . 

HTH.

Hi David and all,
Couldn't find any useful documentation for VLC hotkeys CLI configuration.
That got me on the old lazy boy track to fetch the VLC's config file it
self.
Found it, and it was a fat one, opened it with notepad++, because the
regular notepad would be a wrong choice.
The file Directory:"C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc
"vlcrc" is our file to play with.
Long story short, the hotkeys configuration lines start with the line
number 4000 on that file
the volume hotkey configuration started with line number 4206
I've changed my volume hotkeys into ctrl+shift+UP and Down.
Worked like a big scotch shot.
Now I can say VLC is indeed worth the effort.
Enjoy tweaking it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Serious Problem Since Doing Latest Jaws 2018 Update

[Tom Behler]

Leonard:

I should have been clearer about a few points in my earlier update.

I did try Narrator and NVDA, and experienced the same sluggishness and speaker 
static issues.  I also experienced them with earlier versions of Jaws.

Fortunately, I've been working on things now for about a half hour, and 
everything seems to be back to normal.

Not sure why checking the control sound configurations and re-doing the docking 
station interface could have solved the problem, but I seem to be ok once again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Serious Problem Since Doing Latest Jaws 2018 Update

[Tom Behler]

Well, you might be right.

I had some sighted assistance a little while ago.  We went into the control
panel and checked on a few of the sound card settings.  After that, things
improved slightly.

Then, I took the computer out of the docking station I use, and put it back
in.

Now the computer seems to be functioning much more normally.

Don't know what might have happened.  All I know is that the problems I had
earlier occurred after the latest Jaws update.

Whether or not the update is truly  related to what I experienced is still
unclear to me.

Perhaps the update temporarily messed with some sound card or other
configurations.

Tom,

Unless you've tried it already, I'd complete uninstall JAWS 2018 to get back 
to an earlier version and determine that you've solved the problem. Then 
install an earlier version (you do keep all the files, don't you?)  of JAWS 
2018 and avoid the latest build.

In fact, it actually is very difficult to type this e-mail.

 

Since the update, my computer has basically slowed down to a crawl.

 

It's hard to type anything, because there is a several-second delay between 
hitting a key, and getting a response from Jaws.I also have a great deal of 
Static in my computer speakers, which I never had before.  Finally, I find that 
I often have to restore focus with Jaws when doing a particular task.

 

I even went back to an earlier version of Jaws, and the problems persisted.

 

I called Freedom Scientific Tech support, and we re-installed the latest Jaws 
update.  The problem still persisted.  I even did a Jaws repair with no luck.

 

Needless to say, I'm not very happy!!

 

Has anyone had these problems with the latest update, and if so, what did you 
do to address them?

 

This computer is a Dell business-grade computer, and I've never experienced 
problems like this before from the many Jaws updates I have done over the years.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm going to call Freedom Scientific again in the morning if I have no luck 
between now and then.

[Dennis Long]

I suspect this is not a Jaws problem.  I say this because you installed an
earlier version and still had issues.

Hi David and all,
Couldn't find any useful documentation for VLC hotkeys CLI configuration.
That got me on the old lazy boy track to fetch the VLC's config file it

Found it, and it was a fat one, opened it with notepad++, because the

The file Directory:"C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc

Long story short, the hotkeys configuration lines start with the line

the volume hotkey configuration started with line number 4206
I've changed my volume hotkeys into ctrl+shift+UP and Down.
Worked like a big scotch shot.
Now I can say VLC is indeed worth the effort.
Enjoy tweaking it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] vlc and dvd/cds

[Hareth]

VLC 3.0 added a feature to play media within zip and iso formats
without extracting them.
The whey to fix that is  re installing it with custom option and
uncheck the iso and zip file format from the file association  menu
options before finishing the installation procedure.
BTW the vlc preferences options does include file association menu,
but I don't think its that accessible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] vlc and dvd/cds

[JM Casey]

I'm going to hazard a pretty good guess that although the strange thing
happened, there isn't a connection between that and VLC. But then, I'm not
familiar with BARD. I thought it was just a book-sharing service.

Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC -- Dialogs are Very difficult

[JM Casey]

They're difficult, but not impossible. It would be nice if they worked
better. As mentioned before, I'm specifically thinking of the all/advanced
preferences screen, which is full of configuration options, filters, etc.
Some of the former though can probably be set by editing the file mentioned
in a recent post.

it being far from keyboard-friendly, at the very least. No point in keeping
around programs you don't use.

Re: [JAWS-Users] FSReader; how to locate page numbers

[Rebecca Lineberger]

Hello Adrian,
I've not used FS Reader other than to read the JAWS documentation.
This is not exactly what you're looking for, but it was all I could find
when searching the documentation, information which I'm sure you've already
seen.
Beginning with JAWS 15 and MAGic 13, for DAISY books that have text, the
text of the books appear in HTML, or Web page format, in the document pane
of FSReader. The document pane is located on the right side of the window,
and the left side of the window contains a tree view for navigating in the
book by headings, chapters, pages, and so on, depending on how the book is
structured by the author. The new user interface has the following items,
starting at the top of the window: 

Title bar - This is where the title of the book you are currently reading is
displayed, and it is the top row of the window. 
Menu bar 
Tool bar - This has buttons for mouse users to click. These functions are
all accessible with the keyboard by using hot keys or menu commands. 
Navigation pane - This is located on the left side of the FSReader window.
It contains a tree view for navigating by headings, chapters, pages, or
whatever unit the author of the book used in the book creation process.
And this:
The Navigation menu contains the following items: 

Bookmarks submenu 

Set bookmark, CTRL+B 
View bookmarks, CTRL+K 
Go to page, CTRL+G 
Search submenu 

Find, CTRL+F 
Find next, F3 
Find previous, SHIFT+F3
I use Kurzweil for reading books from Bookshare. The help key there acts as
a sort of status bar, giving you page x of y pages.  Depending on whether
the information was retained when the book was scanned, page numbers may
appear at the bottoms or tops of pages.
Also, depending on how the book was scanned, it may have pages, which will
work with a next or previous page command, as well as a go to page command,
but it seems that often, especially with the "publisher quality" eBooks, the
book will have been formatted so that it has only one page.  There are
usually bookmarks embedded in the document, but again, that does not truly
speak to your question as to finding specific location.  
I haven't played with the FS Reader enough to make informed comments.
Sorry this was not very helpful.  Perhaps someone else has more information.
Rebecca

[JAWS-Users] Issues with my braille display navigating an Excel spreadsheet

[miketmote73]

Good morning all!  I wondered if anyone could help me with an issue I am
experiencing with navigating an Excel workbook.

I can use my PC to navigate to the cells, and my braille display will follow
me.  If I use the display to move through the columns though, it won't
advance past the A column.  I can scroll down by row using my braille
display, but cannot scroll through the columns, and go from A to B to C etc.
Is there a setting that I can change that will help me do this?  Many
thanks!

Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC Volume and all hotkeys reconfiguration fix

Hi David and all,
Couldn't find any useful documentation for VLC hotkeys CLI configuration.
That got me on the old lazy boy track to fetch the VLC's config file it 
self.

Found it, and it was a fat one, opened it with notepad++, because the
regular notepad would be a wrong choice.
The file Directory:"C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc
"vlcrc" is our file to play with.
Long story short, the hotkeys configuration lines start with the line
number 4000 on that file
the volume hotkey configuration started with line number 4206
I've changed my volume hotkeys into ctrl+shift+UP and Down.
Worked like a big scotch shot.
Now I can say VLC is indeed worth the effort.
Enjoy tweaking it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC Keystrokes

[JM Casey]

Hi. Well, I understand what you mean, but as someone who started using PCs
in the days when people still used dos 4.2, and as a blind user, it seems to
me logical that sometimes the GUI will not be as nice and convenient as the
command line. I admit the syntax of certain things can be daunting, and like
most people I have come to use the GUI 99% of the time. But you know,
sometimes, only the command line will suffice. I use it all the time for
instance for formatting drives. I also created a powershell line that
generates a number of random filenames when I want to pick a m movie to
watch and can't really decide for myself. I did this when after lots of
searching I could not find a GUI program that did exactly what I wanted.
Windows also comes with a number of useful command line tools, like
"takeown", which is much faster and easier way of taking ownership of key
system files rather than messing around with the not-totally-friendly
security properties dialog box. I always say to everyone that if you can
find a quick command line way to do things, it's usually more efficient. But
it sounds like you know this already and I don't need to say anything. Haha.
Cheers.

Oh, Sure it could be done that way,
Was talking on a basic UI for everyone.
Command line is not that popular you know, That's why I prefer not talking
about it myself, if it is not a must use case.
Although a batch script to do the whole task for more convenient set of
hotkeys, could be a good idea.
Even if it requires more digging. I believe its worth it.
