Re: new laptop keyboard issue

I think this is a generational thing for the sighted. People I have worked with who have only used Windows / Macintosh systems and are sighted tend to just use the eye candy on the screen to do most of the functions assigned to function keys. It was amusing when I was in the Apple store this

Re: Ranking Screen Readers In Windows10 Anniversary Update:The Results Will Surprise You!

Well, for me WindowEyes is my goto #3 or #4 screen reader, but I love the scripting concepts that WE provides. I would love to hear on or off list about things you find doable in WindowEyes that are not doable in another screen reader. For my job, I need to support any screen reader that a

Yes, there is a registry setting to do this right now. There were instructions on this list earlier today on how to set this manually. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On Aug 7, 2016, at 1:55 PM, Larry Higgins via Talk > wrote: > > I just went to Cortana to ask her

Re: Main Menu Windows 10 anniversary update podcast

Hello, There was a long discussion at the beginning of the cast about how accessibility is being considered at a higher priority than in the past. In terms of the Edge browser it was talked about how it will use standard Microsoft accessibility API's instead of giving the screen reader direct

Re: Main Menu Windows 10 anniversary update podcast

There will always be people trying to cheat the system. If Microsoft has been giving 10 away for a year, then they probably do not consider it too important of a revenue stream. I expect that older versions of Office don't work as well on the newer OS, and most Office users these days are

Re: Main Menu--windows 10 podcast

Gail, The guest of the Main Menu were Microsoft Narrator project managers I believe their point was that Narrator can do a decent job of reading the applications. Where JAWS and Window Eyes really excel is the vast amount of configurability available. Often times, our screen readers have

Re: OT Jaws question

To move the mouse, you need to use the "jaws Cursor". This can be enabled with the numpad minus key. Insert-numpad minus move the mouse to the focused item. The mouse restrictions are toggled with insert-R. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On 27 May 2016, at 17:05, Dave via Talk

Re: a very concerning facebook problem

Welcome to the world of Facebook. Safari users on Macintosh have encountered similar behaviours for several years. The solution was to bring up a developer mode, and change “User Agent” to a older or mobile browser. I don’t know if this is possible on the Windows side of things. On the other

Re: how to accessibly link an audio file from archive.org to your own site using window-eyes

Well, with window eyes you do have mouse functionality with the numpad. I can’t remember off hand which screen readers will pass control-numpad star as a right control-click, but even if the numeric keypad does not directly provide this function, you should be able to hold down control and

Re: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?

Note also, that JAWS 17 added a feature to automatically restart itself if it can’t talk to the window that has focus for 5 seconds. This essentially solves the lockup problem for JAWS, at the expense of a 5 second hang and any non saved options being lost. I expect we could probably write an

Re: window eyes speechHub app?
