If Edge had menus and worked completely with Jaws I might switch, same for Chrome. Firefox never worked well for me. Microsoft has to realize many of us use IE for its ease of use and they should fix the problems, not all of us love Edge and the fact that it has taken over two years since its release to make it somewhat accessible is reprehensible. No keystrokes available or let's say easily found to operate Edge in the same way is IE. Guessing isn't really something I want to take time to do. Every time a family member uses Edge here nothing reads and Yes, Jaws is set to read Edge. I dislike Edge partly because of lack of keystrokes I can get to easily, partly because in my experience it never works well and I don't want to have to type in the web address for every page I visit, if URLs were shorter maybe but I have loads of pages in favorites in IE, accessed with Alt A, nothing in Edge and no way that is visible or accessible that I have found to import or access without memorizing every URL I use, not happening. So, for now I stick with what works and yell at the computer when it hangs, become unhappy but at least 99% of what I need is right where I put it with keystrokes available if I happen to forget one. Maybe sighted people do not need menus, or keystrokes, I personally work best with a menu or even a ribbon. His is my opinion and your mileage will vary. Give me a super reason to use Edge including keeping my home page of my choice, a way to access sites without having to go to the run command and type in the full URL as Jonathan does on the podcasts, allow me the flexibility I experience 99% of the time in IE but without the crashes and I may move to using it. Chrome has many of the same issues as Edge, no menus, no visible keystrokes, it is a guessing game and I don't usually have time to play three guesses and none of them count. Accessibility, great for those who can see the screen even with magnification in each browser, not so great for those of us who depend on Jaws alone because we can't get clues from the screen any other way and why it has taken more than two years to do a halfway job of fixing this, leaving all the fixes to third parties who can't get where they need to make it fast and easy is a point against Microsoft! Accessibility seems to rule, only if you can somewhat see the screen.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?
I don't know. I've always had these sorts of problems with internet Explorer, mostly with it closing unexpectedly because of some error, or scripts on a page just slowing everything down so much that they stopped working. Back in the day, most of my IT friends were telling people not to use IE. It took me a long time to get on board with Firefox, when I was using my XP machine, and even then I ended up going back to iE from time to time because sometimes it did seem like JAWS worked nicely with it. As time went on, though, I found this to be less and less the case. It got to the point where many of my favourite websites just did not work properly in IE anymore. You could still use them, but some of the functionality just wasn't available. Now when I try to go to goodreads.com with iE, for instance, I can't even find my own reviews when I click on a book's page. The WWW is just leaving Internet Explorer behind, and Microsoft has acknowledged this by bringing in an entire new browsing experience: Edge. Edge is n o good for me though, and I'm not going to settle for something that works so poorly. But Microsoft has never really dissuaded anyone from using third party products, and well they shouldn't. At this point, I think that's really what most of us have to do. It would be nice if browsers, as well as other software, had accessibility built into them, and I guess that is the "new paradigm" of things. This way the screen-reader developers wouldn't constantly have to be struggling to keep up. But, I guess this isn't really the problem, as far as IE goes, most of the time. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Jones Sent: December 14, 2017 8:32 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?

Hi! I have the same results. If you really need to use IE 11, you can use an earlier version of JAWS. I use Google Chrome with JAWS 2018, and Windows 10, and it works like a charm as well. However, when I get my old computer out that has Windows 7 and JAWS 15, IE does work like a charm. If any of you would like my Google Chrome Browser tutorial, I can paste it into a message and put it on here. Even Edge works better with JAWS 2018 better than IE 11. As we know, to use Firefox, version 57 does not work with JAWS hardly at all. Take care, guys!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?
A lot of sighted people, or that is, mostly computer "experts", prefer to have keystrokes. I haven't really bothred with Edge because I mostly love Firefox and find that it works great. However, it is indeed surprising if it's as unkeyboard-friendly as all that. The reason I say that is that Microsoft, more than anyone else, is usually really good with making sure everything is perfectly workable from the keyboard. They don't do this for blind users, necessarily, but of course it works out very well for us, too. Windows 10 is full of great keyboard tricks, and you'd really think Edge would follow suit. Ah well. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of rosecomb...@cox.net Sent: December 15, 2017 10:38 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?
Hi Tom, Try resetting your IE. Here are the instructions below. How to reset IE 11: I would recommend re setting IE. Here are the steps to do that. 1. Open IE 2. Press alt + T for tools menu. 3. Press up arrow once and you should be on options. Press the enter key. 4. Press shift + Tab and you should hear General. 5. Press the right arrow key until you hear advance. 6. Tab until you hear reset button. 7. Press enter on the reset button. 8. A dialog box will come up. Press tab once and you will hear something about checking this box to delete personal information. Press the spacebar here to check this check box. 9. Tab twice to the reset button and press the spacebar. Wait a few minutes then close IE and reopen it. Now it should work like new. Note: checking the box about removing personal information will not remove your favorites in IE. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of my mail Sent: Friday, December 15, 2017 12:20 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?
Hi! I have the same results. If you really need to use IE 11, you can use an earlier version of JAWS. I use Google Chrome with JAWS 2018, and Windows 10, and it works like a charm as well. However, when I get my old computer out that has Windows 7 and JAWS 15, IE does work like a charm. If any of you would like my Google Chrome Browser tutorial, I can paste it into a message and put it on here. Even Edge works better with JAWS 2018 better than IE 11. As we know, to use Firefox, version 57 does not work with JAWS hardly at all. Take care, guys!

Is there a fix that the developers need to buckle down and work on, or is this an uncooperative Microsoft issue? I have noticed this behavior in the last several versions of Jaws, but what can we users do to help "make it better?" Thanks in advance for the input.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws?
What can IE users do? Probably switch to a browser that is still being fully supported such as Edge, Chrome or Firefox. There are several web components that IT no longer even works with, or is very limited with when using such as, silver light, direct ex, some flash content, not to mention the security gaps that are within IE. IT is like holding on to windows 7 at this point. The longer one uses it, the more issues they will experience. It takes companies such as JAWS, sometimes more effort to update these programs than stay up to date with the latest changes that are much more relevant.
