If you are a windows ten user do the following.
Press the windows key.
Now start typing notification, you should now hear notification and action
setting.
Press enter and the setting dialog opens.
>From here you will tab until you hear Outlook, tab once more, you hear
Outlook  on, use the space bar to turn off these notifications and the
reading of your messages as they come in.
 In my case I hear Outlook 2016, not sure what version you are using.
There is no save or apply button so just close this window.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS2018 And Multiple Sound Cards

[Mike Mote]

Hi there!  As long as the device you want JAWS to default to is available,
it should use that device every time.  If for some reason, Windows doesn't
load the drivers, JAWS may not see that the sound device is available, and
will then look for another device.

[JAWS-Users] Still having problems with JAWS speaking at the log on screen

[Mike Mote]

Hi folks!  This issue is an oldy but a goody, and one that hasn't been fixed
for me yet.

I have two windows 10 computers, and many times JAWS will not say anything
at the log-on screen indicating that I can type the password.  Sometimes I
can press Control plus Alt plus Delete, and here the prompt to type my
password.  Sometimes, I have to load narrator to find where to put in the
password.  The behavior is inconsistent at best.

I wanted to post this to the list, and see if there is anything I can do to
make JAWS work better in this situation.  Is there a setting that I need to
check, either in Windows or in JAWS?  Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

[Mike Mote]

Hi John!  I appreciate your respone to this question, along with the others
who have chimed in as well.  I do believe it is a resource issue, and
probably could be fixed by someone who is a programmer, and knows their way
around the Windows Registry.  I know that we strongly encourage more RAM for
users of Assistive technology products here at work.  However, more RAM is
not a cure all for these types of issues.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

Hello Mike,
John Justice, here.
I work for the state and use configurations which are similar to the ones
you describe.

In the interest of correcting the problem, I brought it to the attention of
our upper level Access group.  Their explanation doesn't solve any issues
but it might give you food for thought.

 1. THE ISSUE AT HAND:  apparently, what we are experiencing is the
assignment of RAM.  Current versions of Jaws tend to utilize a considerable
amount of RAM, especially when changing from one software environment to
another.  The result is that the system has to {wait} for enough RAM  to
perform the function.
2. PROGRAM PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT:  It is possible to assign certain programs
on a PC so that they have a priority when RAM is distributed. This is way
beyond my pay grade Mike but apparently, within reason, certain programs can
be allowed to operate at the expense of others, at least temporarily. There
are exceptions to this rule and certain pieces of software are assigned a
permanent top priority.  I imagine that the Windows operating system might
have that kind of assignment.
3.  According to our A. T. department, reassignment involves the division of
RAM  into smaller compartments which then handle this function.  The entire
process scares the heck out of me.  It isn't something I'd want to attempt.
There might be someone on our list with more technological knowledge than I
have.  
4.  A WORKING SOLUTION:  I am now operating two computers simultaneously.
One is dedicated to some of the functions I need while the second unit
handles primary functions.  For example, I use the secondary unit to load
and display Excel spreadsheets.  But even with that arrangement, certain
pieces of software will temporarily shut down Jaws until they are fully
loaded.  The down time has been measured  and it is usually approximately32
seconds.
5.  CREATING HOTKEYS FOR RELOADING JAWS:  Finally, we have established
hotkeys which can be used to encourage Jaws to restart.  Occasionally,
though rarely, Jaws wil not restart after one of these incidents.  We use
three key combinations which are dedicated to reactivating Jaws.  

The entire thing is frustrating to say the least, Mike.  But it's something
we just put up with since jaws performs so well in most other respects.

Thanks Dave!  Now to figure out how to open this file in NotePad using

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

This is because JAWS will now (since version 17) automatically shut down
when there is a "not responding" issue with a particular program. I see this
most often when switching into or out of Adobe Acrobat. JAWS does not seem
to play well with that program on my system, and I often have to wait that
20 or 30 seconds for JAWS to start up again.

Does your employee hear the "JAWS Home Edition" or "JAWS Professional
Edition" after the long delay -- then it is indeed JAWS restarting after
such a shutdown.

In the Shared Settings folder there is a default.jcf file that you can edit
with notepad. On my system it is located: C:\ProgramData\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\2018\Settings\enu\Default.JCF

Near the end of this file is a section titled [AutoRestart]  where you can
disable this "feature" or extend the time before JAWS shuts down and
restarts. A following section also lets you decide how long to delay for
specific applications. See if disabling or changing the delay times helps.

Be sure only to edit this file in a simple editor like Notepad to avoid
inserting other ASCII characters.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem installing JAWS 18 on a Windows 7 machine.

[Mike Mote]

I did call them, and we have no resolution just yet.  They are saying the
issue is due to Windows updates not being installed.  I'm investigating this
now, but wanted to reach out to the list to see if anyone had other ideas.

Mike, I take it you mean you're trying to install this JAWS file. If you're
able to call VFO tech support, I'm guessing it would be your best bet.

Good afternoon all!

I am writing because I am encountering an odd issue when trying to load JAWS
18 onto a Windows 7 operating system.  

When I click on the J18.0.4534 executeable, it begins the process.  At the
46 percent mark, an error message appears saying the following

JAWS Set-up package error, The JAWS set-up package could not install the
required component RunTimeJAWS.  The process will now exit.  

I'm looking for help with this issue.  Any ideas would be helpful.  Many
thanks!

Re: [JAWS-Users] PDF Documents

Hi Pam!
This may be a dumb question, but are you sure you have Adobe Reader
installed on your system?

Hi 

When I try to open a PDF document it opens up in Microsoft edge and it
appears to be blank.  I would like it to open in Acrobat reader DC.

I have tried to go to the default programmes but acrobat reader dc isn't
listed there so now I'm stuck.

Am using win10 latest with jfw17.

Step by step instructions would be very much appreciated before I start
pulling out my hair in frustration.

Kind regards

Re: [JAWS-Users] links in a document

[Mike Mote]

Hi there!  When you say "get a link out of a document", what are you wanting
to do with the link?  If you simply want to activate it, there are a few
ways to do that.  If you simply want to copy the link into an address bar,
you can do that as well.  We just need a little more info as to what you're
trying to do.

Hi,
Trying to assist a student with the subject of this message.
I see the link for the PDF file the teacher has shared with him.
I enter to open and it looks like it is open but I cant get JAWS to read
anything.
Thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Copying and pasting on the new job

[Mike Mote]

Hi there!  You can resolve this issue very easily.  When you are in Chrome, 
press Insert plus V to pull up your quick settings.  Then type copy in the 
search box.  You should have an option that comes up saying something like 
select copy f;ulll content.  You need to change this option by pressing the 
spacebar to copy from virtual  cursor.  Give this a try, and see if it resolves 
this problem.

That would work, however I was hoping I wouldn’t have to virtualize a webpage 
that I assumed should already have been virtualized in order for me to copy and 
paste text. That’ll be a extra key stroke I have to use prior to manipulating 
the text from each center that I have to get, and apparently on some chance 
will have three or four centers we have to get information from. However, if 
that’s what I have to do, I’ll do it. Thanks for the suggestion and I’ll give 
it a try when I get to work in an hour or so.

With my best regards

Hello, Listers,

 

Again, I need another reminder.  When wanting to download in Google Chrome.
With IE, you can press alt-N and have the choice of open or save.  This
option is not available in Google Chrom per sae, but there must be another
way to get to any information bar like you would with alt-N in internet
explorer.

 

Thanks for the how-to reminder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] does Microsoft edge work with jaws yet

[Mike Mote]

It really depends on the web-site, and page elements, as Chrome handles
certain elements differently than IE does.  I have to use a combination of
browsers at this point.  I would be interested if anyone has found some
work-arounds as well.

Do you find elements on some of the pages are not visible, such as the link
to events on m.facebook.com?  I also find some menus will not expand, or
buttons activate on other pages.  I think the IE descriptions during
navigation are somewhat better, but I love the speed of Google Chrome.  Are
there work-arounds for some of the hiccups.  That term describes the
glitches exactly.

To use the touch cursor, press shift plus the PC cursor.  To go back to the

  If the save option is grayed out, a sighted person should not be able to

I don't know what version of Jaws Flexible Web started with, but it's

When you tried to open Flexible Web, did you get the following message?

Flexible Web
You must enable the Flexible Web feature before continuing. Would you like
to enable Flexible Web?
Yes No

If you need to enable Flexible Web, it's in Settings Center default all
applications.
Use this setting to enable or disable the Flexible Web feature. You can
access Flexible Web from Internet Explorer or Firefox by pressing 
INSERT+SPACEBAR, X. This check box is selected by default. This setting 
INSERT+is
only available in the JAWS default settings (CTRL+SHIFT+D).

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing forms mode behavior on selected web-sites

Hi Mike,

Check this out:
Flexible Web
Frequently, you will encounter Web pages that contain a lot of excess
content which can make it difficult to locate the actual content you want,
or interupts the flow

when reading. For instance, many sites contain Google ad frames. These can
be troublesome for JAWS users as they disrupt the reading order of
surrounding content.

Flexible Web enables you to take more control of Web pages by allowing you
to quickly find the content you are looking for, as well as hide content
that interrupts the

reading experience. You can hide sections of content, such as Google ad
frames or other types of unnecessary content, for a smoother reading
experience. In addition,

you could have JAWS begin reading at a level one heading, or ARIA main
region, as these may contain the most interesting content.

To use Flexible Web, open a Web page you want to customize in Internet
Explorer or Firefox. Then, move the Virtual PC Cursor to the page element
you want to hide, or

from where you want to start reading when the page first loads. Activate the
Flexible Web wizard by pressing the layered keystroke INSERT+SPACEBAR, X.
Alternatively,

press INSERT+F2 to open the Run JAWS Manager dialog box, then choose
Flexible Web.

Through several easy-to-follow steps, The Flexible Web wizard that opens
provides you with two options: hide, or start reading at the selected
element. The wizard then

guides you through the process of creating a temporary customization by
giving you various choices about the selected element and how you want to
hide it or from where

exactly to start reading. Once the customization has been made, it is
immediately applied to the page. For instance, if you choose to hide all
frames containing

advertisements, you will not see any advertisements when navigating the page
after making this temporary customization.

If you are not happy with how a customization is working, you can open the
Flexible Web wizard to undo the last customization you made. When you return
to the page,

you can choose a different element or the same one, then reactivate the
Flexible Web wizard to retry the customization again perhaps with different
criteria. For

example, in the case of hiding those advertisement frames mentioned earlier,
you probably want to hide all of them, not just the first one on the page.
The wizard will

provide you with choices about whether to hide just the first one or all of
them.

You can create as many customizations for a page as you want. Once you have
created one or more customizations, you can save them as a rule, which is
applied every

time you load the particular page or site. To indicate that a rule has been
applied to a page, JAWS plays a sound after the page loads. Rules can be
applied to the

current Web page, entire Web site, or globally for all Web sites. Otherwise,
customizations are only temporary and are lost as soon as you navigate away
from the

current

Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing forms mode behavior on selected web-sites

[Mike Mote]

roperties associated with the rule.
When you are done examining the properties of the current rule, press TAB to

move to the Close button and press ENTER to return to the viewer. Select the

Close button

once more to exit the viewer and return to the browser.
Using Other JAWS Features on a Web Page Where Flexible Web Rules are Applied
Where applicable, other JAWS features such as PlaceMarkers, Custom Page 
Summary, and Personalized Settings will continue to be in effect for a page 
where Flexible Web

rules have been applied to it. This depends on whether a setting applied as 
a Flexible Web rule conflicts with a setting that is not a Flexible Web 
rule. For example,

if you have created a PlaceMarker for a page that is located on an element 
that has now been hidden because a Flexible Web rule has been applied to 
that page, the

PlaceMarker will not be found when you attempt to move to it.

For pages that automatically update information frequently, any Flexible Web

rules applied will still be in effect as the page updates. Additionally, if 
a page

automatically sets focus to a control, such as an edit field for searching, 
this takes precedence over any rules that start reading at a specific 
element.

When selecting and copying text from a Web page where Flexible Web rules 
have been applied, if Select and Copy Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight 
is selected in

Quick Settings, all content is copied, including any hidden content that was

Good morning all!

I have a web site where I would prefer to have forms mode set to manual, and
not auto.  Can you do this for individual web-sites within JAWS?  For now,
I'm changing it in the quick settings, but I was wondering if there is a
better way.  Many thanks!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Protected Mode

[Mike Mote]

You can turn this off for all of your documents in word by following the
following steps:
1.  Open Microsoft Word.  You can close the document that opens, if a blank
one does load  at start-up.
2.  Press Alt plus F, followed by the letter T to bring up the options menu.
Use your arrow key  or press the letter T until you find the trust center
option, and then tab over to the button that says Trust Center Settings.
Press enter or the spacebar to open this menu.
3.  Now use the arrow keys or press the letter P until you hear Protected
View.
Once this is highlighted, press the tab key, and uncheck the three boxes
that you hear announced.  
4.  Once you have unchecked these boxes, press the OK button, which should
save your settings.  
5.  Lastly, try to open the file that you want to view in Word.  JAWS should
now read it for you.  I hope this is helpful.  Good luck!

Hello To All,

When using Google Chrome and downloading some files, I wanted to take a look

However, I could not remember how to get back to the web page from the

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] This app can't run on your pc?

[Mike Mote]

I have the same issue.  Yesterday, when I went to install the JAWS update, I 
waited for nearly a half an hour, before I restarted the computer myself.  The 
install resumed, and worked fine after that.  I have never had a seamless 
install of JAWS updates using the update feature in the program itself on my 
Windows 10 machine.  I also have a Windows 7 computer, and have encountered no 
problems with running the updates on it.

I always have this problem on a computer where I use Windows 10 Pro Insider 
Preview 32-bit builds when I try to download through the JAWS Check for Updates 
dialog. I always have to download the installer directly from Freedom 
Scientific's website.M Moreover, sometimes the setup package does not run when 
I press ENTER on it on the Firefox download library, so I have to manually go 
to the folder in which I downloaded the installer and choose Run as 
Administrator from the context menu.
You say that you're getting this error even by downloading the package 
directly. Despite the summary of the fact that the app can't run on your PC, 
please send us the full explanation given by Windows, readable by pressing 
JAWS+B. When I try to install via Check for Updates, for example, I 
JAWS+receive
an error like “contact with the software publisher to see if there is a version

executable on a 32-bit system or 16-bit exes on 64-bit systems.

Re: [JAWS-Users] NFL Game pass

I recently obtained an Echo Dot, and you're correct.  I wonder if NFL game
pass works with the Echo Dot.  That might change how accessible it is.  It
certainly leaves a lot to be desired on the PC, and on the app.

Re: [JAWS-Users] An Updated Text Tutorial on Using the Google Chrome Browser with JAWS or NVDA

[Mike Mote]

Hi there!  Once in Chrome, press the Alt key to pull up your menu of
options.  Ust the arrow keys until you find settings.  Press enter to open
the settings page.  The quickest way to find the content part is to type the
word content into the search box.  Press enter on the search button or after
typing the word content.  The settings related to content will then be
displayed.  You can use your button navigation to locate content settings.
You should be able to find the flash settings in this section.

Browser with JAWS or NVDA

Hi all,
I did an Updated text tutorial on using the Google Chrome browser. It is
pasted right here in this email, so you can read it, and give me feedback.
On each line, I tell you what my computer says as I take you through the
Google Chrome menu, and I take you carefully through the settings web page.
This is a lot like the Options page in Firefox, but it is easier to
navigate.
I hope this really helps you get started with Chrome, because it works so
well for me.
Here is the tutorial right below!
Tutorial for Using the Google Chrome Browser By David Moore This tutorial
will be done with the latest update of Chrome.
I will also use JAWS 18 and NVDA 2017.2for this tutorial, because they both
work the same in Chrome.
Finally, I will use Windows 10 Creators Update latest public build.
I will assume that you have downloaded and installed Chrome.
There should be a shortcut on your desktop.
First, I will launch Chrome. We will not create a home page until we get to
the Chrome settings web page.
This is a lot like the Options page in Firefox, or the Options dialog in IE.
Pressing the Alt key, opens the one and only, Chrome menu, with many choices
that I will arrow down through.
The first very important step, is to press Windows+up arrow to maximise the
window. Chrome often opens with the window not maximise, and you will get
undesirable results.
I will press the Alt key.
The Chrome menu is open.
I will press insert+up arrow to hear the first option in this menu.
New Tab, CTRL+T.
You can press that command right from the web site you are on.
New Window, CTRL+N
You can press these commands right from your web page, instead of coming
here.
New incognito Window.
History sub menu.
I will press right arrow here to see what is in this sub menu!
History, CTRL+H
So, there is a key command for reading your history.
You can read a few sites you were on right here.
I will press left arrow to close this history sub menu.
Downloads, CTRL+J
There is the command for opening your downloads you have downloaded with
Chrome.
Next, the important Bookmarks sub menu.
I will press right arrow, to open this.
I hear, bookmark this page, CTRL+D
That command will bookmark the page you are reading.
Next down arrow, says show bookmarks bar, CTRL+Shift+B That command, will
show your bookmarks on your Chrome browser for all to see. I do not want
that.
Here is the important one.
manage bookmarks
The command is, CTRL+Shift+O
In here, you can organize your bookmarks into folders, see the bookmarks you
have imported from different browsers, and very importantly, you can
download, to your computer, an HTML file of all of your bookmarks in Chrome.
On your computer, you can press enter on this file, after it downloads, and
a page will show up in Chrome with a list of all bookmarks you have saved in
Chrome. This is an awesome way to download all of your bookmarks right to
your computer, so you can back them up.
That is all for manage bookmarks.
Next, I hear import bookmarks and settings.
press enter on this, and you can import all bookmarks and settings from IE,
and Firefox, right into Google Chrome, and they will be in their
corresponding folders.
Now, I hear all of my saved bookmarks as I continue to arrow down.
Very important!
Sometimes, when I open that bookmarks sub menu, I do not land on the choices
I mension here, but instead, I start hearing my saved bookmarks. If this
happens, I press up arrow a few times, and it gets me to these choices.
Keep in mind, that many of these choices, like bookmark manager, have key
commands, so you do not have to come to this bookmarks sub menu at all. You
only need to come here most of the time, to arrow through your saved
bookmarks, and enter on the desired one.
The next few are very self explanatory.
The next one I will mension, is the more tools submenu.
I will press right arrow on this.
I hear Save Page as, and the command, CTRL+S.
Next, Save to desktop.
This allows

[JAWS-Users] JAWS issue with Outlook 2016

[Mike Mote]

Good afternoon all!

For some reason, whenever I have to change my exchange account password, in
Outlook, JAWS will not show me the Outlook credentials box.  It does show it
visually, and if someone who is sighted is here, they can clearly see it.
They can put my mouse on the password field, and then JAWS will announce it
properly.  If I don't have someone with sight around, all I hear, is
"Outlook credentials not responding", which is an odd message to me.  I'm
wondering if anyone else has had this issue before, and how did you resolve
it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Focus 14 versus 40

[Mike Mote]

I would say that it is apersonal preference.  I use the Focus 40 classic
braille display every day, and I love it.  The focus 14 fits needs of
certain people, but I didn't like it.  Again, it's a personal preference.
I'm not saying it's bad.  I just prefer a 40 cell display as opposed to a 14
cell display.

I am having the hardest time deciding if I want the Focus 14 or 40. Can
everybody tell me what to do? Which one to get? Anyway, just having a hard
time deciding.

I did, and even though it wasn't grayed out or not available, it still
didn't work.

That's happened to me occasionally.  Later, it works again.  Did  you try
going to the edit menu and trying to access the copy function that way?

Hi Judy!  Make sure you have a web browser open, like Chrome or IE.

Well, I did the same thing in Jaws 18 and came up with zero search results,
after writing the word Copy in the search box.

Hi there!  I solved my issue by pressing JAWS key plus the letter V to
activate the quick settings.  I then put the word copy in the search box.
There are two options that come up for me.  I select the option to copy
using the Virtual cursor  You may hear full content using on screen
highlight.  Just press the spacebar to switch to the virtual cursor.  Hope
this helps!

I have this same exact problem when I try to copy text from a library

nothing, so when I copy it says nothing, when I paste nothing is there. This
forces me to go back to using window eyes and I would rather use just one
screen reader.

[JAWS-Users] Using JAWS to create accessible forms in Acrobat

[Mike Mote]

Good afternoon list members!  I'm hoping someone on here can help me.  I
want to be able to use Adobe Acrobat to set up an editable form, so that
others can provide us with specific information.  Is is doable with JAWS
within Acrobat?  Any help/suggestions will be appreciated at this point.
I know how to set up accessible forms using Word, but I want to import that
into Acrobat, and properly tag the document for accessibility purposes.

Thanks it does help!  When I tried to do what you suggested, I received an

Hello, 

When on the Internet, once you locate a button without a label, press JAWS
(Insert) Key+Control+Tab. You will then be asked to type in a label. 

I hope this is what you were needing.

Good morning all!  I am a brand new member to this list, and I have a
question regarding the use of the touch cursor.

On a web-site that I use, I am encountering buttons that do not have labels.
When I activate them using the touch cursor, they perform certain functions
consistently, such as activating the save file option.  I am then presented
with the standard save as dialog box.  My question is this.  Can I assign a
label to this button?  It is not found by either the JAWS or PC cursor.
When pressing Insert plus F2, I am not seeing the option to label a button.
Any help would be appreciated.  Glad to be part of this list!
