[JAWS-Users] jfw12 focus problem
Hi Listers I encounter a focus problem with jfw12. When in i long list, for example files in a directory, and I downarrow then jaws jumps to other items in the list instead of staying on the alphabetic list. I think it might have to do with the screen resolution but if I make that lower jaws behaves better but then sighted people can not see all the items. In display properties it is set to classic theme. I tried the XP theme but that does not solve the problem. Even when I switch the view from list to detail it does not help. I use XP Home. Can someone please help.

[JAWS-Users] on mouse over on a web page
Hi listers Can one activate an on mouse over item on a web page and if so, how, or is that only some sort of a heading? On my bank's site there is such an item for beneficiaries which I suspect one can activate to get options to add, change etc. but I cannot activate it.

Hi Janie Thanks. I'll try. Regards Fanus - Original Message - From: Janie Degenshein jdege...@comcast.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 2:38 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] on mouse over on a web page Found this and hope it helps: Mouse Over Effects HTML allows the author of a page to set an OnMouseOver attribute for most HTML elements to run specified code such as JavaScript or Visual Basic Script when the mouse pointer is moved over the HTML element. Often this is used to momentarily display text, graphics, or links. JAWS now recognizes the OnMouseOver attribute, and if it is set to display text or links as part of the page, JAWS provides access to that information. Press INSERT+CTRL+ENTER to simulate moving the mouse pointer over the element at the Virtual Cursor location. If the mouse over event caused some part of the page to change, JAWS announces the line where the change occurred. To review the new content, you can press J to perform the Jump To Line command. Enter the number of the line that changed and press ENTER to move directly to that line. You can press SHIFT+J at any time to return to your previous location on the page. By default, JAWS announces when an HTML element has a mouse over effect. If you want JAWS to ignore the OnMouseOver attribute, do the following: 1.Press INSERT+F2, select Configuration Manager, and press ENTER. 2.From the Set Options menu, choose Speech and Sounds Manager. 3.In the Select Scheme list, choose Classic. 4.Press ALT+E to edit this scheme. 5.Press CTRL+TAB until you move to the HTML tab, and then use the arrow keys to select onmouseover. 6.Press ALT+I to select the Ignore radio button.

Hi Listers I follow the cricket on cricinfo.com. For each match there is a line where the score is given, then a blank line and then a line with info about the batsmen and bowling figures.

Re: [JAWS-Users] CCleaner not reading check boxes
Hello Listers Where can one download the version of CCleaner which works with jaws? Regards Fanus - Original Message - From: Mike Barbara In Arcadia mb69ma...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2011 12:12 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] CCleaner not reading check boxes HI Pam; Below are some steps on using CCleaner that were posted by Brian Lee a while back. Hi Lisa, Yes, CCleaner works very well with JAWS 9. The program is set up in a standard dialog box structure where you can use the tab key and shift-tab to move forward and backward through a dialog box. You can also use Alt key with the underlined letter of a control to activate it so that you don't have to tab to the control and press spacebar or enter. For example, Alt-R activates the Run button, which starts the scanning and removal process for the page of the dialog box that is active, which is the Windows page when you first start the program. When you first use the program and press Alt-R a child dialog box will appear with the OK button in focus. If you use the tab key you can move to a checkbox for telling the program not to show this confirmation box, and check it by pressing spacebar. After checking the box tab to the OK button and press spacebar. JAWS will announce the percentage of completion as the program scans and removes items, but quite often after hearing 100 percent scanning and removal will begin for another area of the computer, so you should wait a few seconds after hearing JAWS say 100 percent to see if it starts announcing percentage progress again. If you route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, do a page up, and use down arrow to the line under where the Windows tab and applications tab are shown, you will hear whether or not cleaning is complete. This might vary a little on different systems, but the scanning complete notice should be given on a line not far under the page tabs. After you have made PC cursor active again you can use tab or shift tab to move to where JAWS says Windows tab and use right arrow to move to the Applications page tab. Use Alt-R again to run the program in this page. Before running the program you probably want to set the program to only remove the types of items you want removed. After opening the program and before invoking the run button, use Shift-tab to move to the tree view of choices. If you use the shift-tab then you will find the tree view of choices after you hear the page tabs announced. Use down arrow in the tree view and check or uncheck items using the spacebar. For example, if you don't want all cookies removed then be sure to uncheck the cookies choice. You can always remove tracking cookies with a different program such as Super Anti- Spyware or Ad-Aware. Keep using down arrow through the choices in the tree view and use spacebar to check or uncheck items. the checkmark means that those types of items will be removed, if not checked then those items will be left alone. I think you can feel pretty comfortable with the default settings, although if you don't want the recycle bin emptied then you might uncheck that item, or if you don't want auto complete form history deleted then you can uncheck that box, etc. The only one I have unchecked in the Internet Explorer list of items is the cookies choice, as I only want tracking cookies removed. If you use tab key to move to the page tabs and right arrow to the applications tab, you can then use shift-tab to move back to the tree view and find a list of programs that have cached temporary files that you can remove. If you want to uncheck any of these choices then use down arrow and uncheck the box, but I think that you probably will just want to leave the default settings. After you have set your choices they will remain as set for subsequent times when you use the program. Each time you run the program you will only need to use the run command by pressing Alt-R for the Windows page of the dialog and then move to the applications page and perform the run command with Alt-R. Take care and have a great day! Brian Lee Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] C cleaner. Hello Sue, I recommend that you run the program manually because there are two page tabs in the program. If you run it automatically with the /auto switch, I think that you will only be cleaning items in the Windows page of the program. There is an applications page in the program where cached items from other programs are cleaned, which should be done after cleaning the items under the Windows page. If you want to close the program when cleaning is finished you can go into advanced settings by pressing Alt-O for options and then using tab key to move to the advanced button. After pressing spacebar on the advanced button you can tab to a checkbox for closing program when cleaning is complete and use spacebar to check the box or to remove the check mark

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws upgrade plan structure
Hello list Ok, let me explain as briefly as possible and I think an example would best give the facts and please, my problem is not the amounts but the policy itself and also remember the amounts may not be quite correct in terms of the dollar price which I quote because I converted the amounts from our currency back to dollars. When I wanted to upgrade from JFW13 to JFW14 I was told that the upgrade would cost $150 but should I take one SMA the price would be $260. There was thus an incentive to rather take an SMA which would then allow to have JFW15 as well. This was my experience for many years. I decided to take the upgrade to JFW14 but not the SMA. In November 2013 when I asked for a quote to upgrade from JFW14 to JFW15 I was told that the upgrade policy changed and now I have to pay $250 for upgrading from JFW14 to JFW15 and should I take one SMA it would be $280 for JFW15 plus the SMA which would enable me to get JFW16 as well. My point is therefore that it is not an incentive anymore to take a SMA but one is sort of forced to do so because from a financial point it is not worth while to just buy JFW15. The problem is that in the past fairly poor people could afford to pay $150 for one upgrade but not $260 once off. Now it becomes almost impossible to upgrade due to the high price of one upgrade. I trust that you get my point and that is why I asked for an email address to discuss this with FS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] SMA
Hello Mellissa and list While on the topic of SMA. Can someone from FS who is a member of the list perhaps explain the SMA structure. After a little investigation it seems that the SMA policy is applied differently in different countries, so does the dealer have a choice how he applies the policy. For example: in my country I wanted to upgrade from JFW v14 to v15 and the quote which I got had a further option to take one SMA which would entitle me to JFW V16. A friend in the US made a similar enquiry there and was told that one can not upgrade from v14 to v15 and take just one SMA but that one must purchase V15 and then pay for 2 SMA's (V16 and V17).

I don't remember Spin it Again being very expensive. I initially downloaded and installed it as a free and fully featured trial (complete with annoying repeated background clicks and other noises until the purchase (hence registration) was made!) when all those noises were magically removed (lol)!!! I found that Jaws was able to easily access almost all parts of this program, except I found that the Preset Noise/Click suppression etc settings areas were a little confusing for Jaws. However, I now use it as my sole recording program, as it has a wonderful Recording Wizard that will talk you through setting up recording levels etc (and all other menus). I use Spin it Again to not only do all of my initial audio recordings, but it will also offer to chop the resultant large file into separate tracks. However, I don't do that until after editing with Total Recorder. As I mentioned previously, I found the Spin it Again Noise/Click etc settings area confusing for Jaws, so consequently I only do straight audio recording with no Noise filters used at all. However, this is where Total Recorder Professional comes in: It has an excellent Audio Restoration and Click and Noise Suppression Add On, available as an optional extra from theTR site. This is absolutely well worth it, as it is easily accessible with Jaws. The Add ons will write themselves into the main menu areas, very handy. I therefore do all of my Audio Restoration, Noise and Click Suppression easily by using Total Recorder Professional. In Summary: 1. Record with Spin it Again to produce an unedited and unfiltered wave file. 2. Using Total Recorder Professional, use this to do all general editing and Audio Restoration, Click/Noise/Hiss etc editing as one file to minimise time, then process this file back through the File Access area in Spin it Again to chop and convert this larger file into separate audio tracks.(TR will also do this, but I find Spin it Again excellent to do this). 3. If required, burn to a CD. (I prefer Express Burn to do this). 4. All my experiences and preferences of these three programs are purely based on their respective best accessibility for Jaws, obviously all excellent with Jaws. I hope this is helpful. I am also a musician (Technics Organ and Keyboard) so these 3 programs are brilliant for my hobby.

However, have a look in: File/Options/ Recording Source and Parameters.../ Check out all the options in there, especially under Advanced where you can option all different recording conditions including Sound Cards, internet streaming, what you hear etc. However, I normally have to change the Jaws cursor to route Jaws to PC to read or make changes in this area. I mainly record using Spin it Again, then edit using Total Recorder Professional, which I have enjoyed as one of the best audio editing programs I have used. I do all editing as .wav then change back to mp3 etc later on, prior to burning to CD.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS what a shame
Hello list Over the past 15 years I spent in access of $2500 for the original JAWS 3.3 and all the upgrades up to the current version 14. Today I tried to instal Office 2013 on my windows 7 laptop as well as on a windows 8 tablet. I could only go through the install process up to a certain stage from where JAWS could not reag the prompts and the JAWS cursor only says blank, blank. I then installed the free NVDA and it could read the prompts and the entire screen and I could complete the setup on both devices.

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is an easy to use tool to increase download speeds by up to 500 percent, resume and schedule downloads. According to the opinions of IDM users Internet Download Manager is a perfect accelerator program to download your favorite software, games, cd, dvd and mp3 music, movies, shareware and freeware programs much faster! Internet Download Manager has a built-in download logic accelerator that features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart downloading technology to accelerate your downloads. Unlike other download accelerators and managers that segment files before downloading starts, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process. Internet Download Manager also reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve better acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will also restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. Simple graphic user interface makes IDM user friendly and easy to use. Internet Download Manager has wide customization capabilities, downloadable skins, visual XP styles, multilingual interface, and supports proxy servers, FTP, HTTP and HTTPS protocols, firewalls, file redirects, cookies, directories with authorization, ZIP preview, categories, MP3 audio and MPEG video content processing and a large number of server platforms. IDM integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, MSN Explorer, Opera, and Mozilla browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files or use Internet Download Manager from command line. Internet Download Manager can dial your modem at the set time, download the files you want, then hang up or even shut down your computer when it's done. The site grabber feature of Internet Download Manager not only lets you download required files that are specified with filters, for example all pictures from a web site, or all audio files from a web site, but it also lets you download subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for mirroring or offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Actually, A Jaws-script has written for IDM but I think It's not necessary. For more information and download IDM You can visit www.internetdownloadmanager.com.

The interface has changed several times over the years. FR has always been accessible and usable by the blind, much more so than, say, Omnipgage. Over here in Europe, it is _the_ocr program used by the blind and, when the client is eligible, often included in a reading solution package financed by the health insurance or other organization. I have only had a go at a demo of FR 11 as we usually get FR at a much reduced price when the next version is released. however, FR 11 is certainly usable and its recognition is, as always, very very good. FR's interface underwent a major change between its version 8 and 9. It is still accessible and still usable but just quite different. Whether you will be comfortable with it or not, depends largely on how you use FR and what you do or do not consider accessible and what your needs are. FR's reconition has always been amazingly accurate and it has recongized just about anything I've slapped on my scanner including poor quality print paperbooks yellow with age, typewriter pages or even mimeographed publications of a few decades ago. FR never failed me and never took even a fraction of the time I spent with some ocr packages specifically for the blind that I worked with. When the fine engine of a particular FR version was used with OB or K1K, I always found without fail that recognition in FR itself with the same version of its fine engine was better and much more painless. The setup I have yere is that I scan my books and everyday correspondence, forms, or documents my husband and I need electronic copies of wiht FR 7, which I still prefer for its interface and ease of use (due to my being very very familiar with it and my preference for working in FR's internal editor.) If I need to recognize a pdf document, maybe even a bilingual one, or a poor quality document, i use FR 10 on it because its reconition accuracy has improved dramatically since its version 7 or 8. Even on some of the bilingual texts that I ran thru fr 10, the accuracy was amazing even though I had just hset it to automatic language reconition. If you are a longtime user of Finerader, you know that you can download a free demo copy of it from Abbyy's homepage. I would defiinitley advise you to do this. Also, you can keep your trusted old FR 8 on the same system as they install to different folders. You just need to keep the batches each saves separately as FR's batches are not backward compatible. Finally, depending on what country you live in, you might be able to get the previous version of FR at a much much reduced price. I do not quite remember the price of the latest version of FR at the time. I think it may be around 200 Euros, which is roughly about US$300. The previous version may be availablefor as little as 1/4 of the price of the current version or even a little less. Unless you specifically need a feature that comes with the latest version, you are probalby going to be just fine with the previous one, especially in light of the fact that the latest version of k1k or ob usually use the fine engine of the previous version of the current retail version of fr itself. I hope this was a little helpful and that you will find the version of FR that works best for you and is the right size for your wallet. And if FR 8 does all you need it to do - and it might well do that - just remember if it ain't broke ... *g* hth Doris At 10:30 AM 11/23/2011 +0200, you wrote: Hello List Does anyone know if the latest version of FineReader is as accessible with jaws13 and windows 7 as FineReader 8?

All of a sudden when he wants to compose a new message he can type in the to field and in the subject field but when he tries to type the body of the message jfw says read only. Also, when he wants to read an email and he uses the arrow keys he just hears blank, blank If he presses jaws key-b the screen is read. We looked all over in the outlook settings but I can not find any setting whhich would correct these behaviours. I do not use outlook, so I can't think of a solution. We even checked the screen resolution but it seems to be ok. Can anyone suggest a solution?

[JAWS-Users] windows 10 email client and jaws
Hello list Does windows 10 have a built-in email client and if so, is it accessible with jaws16? The reason I am asking is that I currently use windows 8.1 but as email client I use the adapted outlook express. I am thinking of purchasing the outlook package to be able to sync with my iPhone but I do not want to spend the money if windows 10 has a similar email client built in.

The problem is the video is so loud that I can't hear jaws to explore the sctreen or to read the interview. I'm pasting a link to the interview if you care to see what I'm talking about.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Image for Windows tutorial version 5 and possibly 6
Hello David I think I missed something, so where can I get hold of these tutorials? Regards Fanus From: David Ferrin Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 12:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image for Windows tutorial version 5 and possibly 6 While I was not sleeping last night it crossed what I call my mind a couple of ideas for future recordings. Version 5 could cover creating a batch file that would allow you to create your backups just by hitting enter on it since all of the presets will be hard coded. Version 6 could cover modifying it to run from the virtual environment. That way again all you would need to do is hit enter on it. Now this is getting up there a bit, but if there is an interest I can sure record my thoughts. Note: the last might have to be recorded on my Victor Reader although that is not set in stone. It's just a possibility. Let me know folks if those are things of interest to anybody out there. David Ferrin You don't have to be crazy to run a list like this, but it does help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws on tablets?
Hello Josh I use a Lenovo thinkpad 2 tablet and it works quite well with jaws 17, however, I just installed the jaws 18 beta and it seems that it is more responsive. I am a bit doubtful whether a tablet with only 2 GB ram wil work without jaws stuttering. My Lenovo has 4 GB ram but it is also a 32 bit processor and if I remember correctly the processor speed is 1.8 GHZ. I know of two people with 2 GB ram laptops who have problems with jaws running properly.
