nvda vs. jaws


douglas richard dexheimer
 

I should add that I don't find live365 any better using ie or chrome. I use nvda for my main screenreader and only switch to jaws if I want to virtualize the current window to copy and paste a dialog message, or read the current page, line and cell positions in a duxbury braille file. another question is how can I rewind or fast forward in a youtube video, since firefox 40 doesn't work with jaws 13 and i can't turn the virtual cursor on and off to use j, k and l (rewind, play/pause, fast forward) with nvda? thanks.

some of your problem may be that you are using the JAWS 13 version as it
may not be that compatible with the live365.com web site. A while back I
had to give up on live365.com and I don't know if it now works because
of their changes my upgrades with JAWS and Windows 10. They are quite
responsive to blind people contacting them as I've talked with their
staff on various occasions over the past few years and they are quite
concerned about trying to address accessibility issues as they are aware
that a lot of blind people use their site.

I got this computer last spring with windows 7 installed; the latest
jaws version my current license allowed was jaws 13, which doesn't
support my current version of firefox or thunderbird. how will live365
work on a windows 7 machine with jaws 13 or nvda? also uninstalling and
reinstalling webvisum (repeatedly based on varying situations) may be
somewhat of a pain, which i don't want to have to suffer through. thanks.

I have no problems with it using Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 10
with latest version of Jaws. Of late Firefox has been acting a bit
clunky with the Web Visum add on installed as well as it just isn't as
responsive on many web sites. I only use it when I have to such as for
solving captchas or it sometimes handles selection points where there is
flash content better.

I went to the about:config page and carried out the steps; I have
youtube working in firefox, but still have a problem with live365.com.
When I go to that site, select a genre or station and hit Listen, I find
an "embedded object unavailable" message, and no sound is heard--the
embedded player stays silent. also the page keeps refreshing, indicated
by the constant clicking sound present since installing webvisum.
anyone else having trouble with live365? thanks.

Flash protected mode might cause Flash performance problems in Firefox,
such as persistent hangs or plugin crashes. This is especially true for
users on Windows touchscreen devices and for users who use accessibility
tools.



You can turn off Flash protected mode by following these steps:



1. Press Control plus l to open the Location bar, type about:config and
press Enter.



. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may
appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the
about:config page.



2. Search for

dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode

in the list of preferences.



3. Press Enter on the preference to toggle its value from false to true.



4. Press CONTROL plus W to close the about:config window.



5. Close Firefox, and re-launch Firefox for the new setting to take
effect.

I'm curious about turning off Flash and why we should disable it.
Didn't
know labels worked better in Youtube without it. Thing is do we
disable
or set to ask to activate?

I decided to look in to this. Found a checkbox for Flash in Firefox
that wasn't labeled so I read more and found something we should know
about. I'll paste it below without comment.

Adobe Flash protected mode in Firefox | Firefox Help


(Redirected from
Enable Flash Protected Mode Settings on Firefox)

Flash protected mode
is a security feature for Firefox which is implemented by Adobe for
Windows operating systems (Windows Vista/7/8 or above). This
feature is
enabled by
default, to make it difficult for attackers to access your computer.

Flash protected mode might cause Flash performance problems in
Firefox,
such as persistent hangs or plugin crashes. This is especially true
for
users on
Windows touchscreen devices and for users who use accessibility tools.

No, it's not a security issue. Like I said, if you had said you were
getting an error that Flash was disabled, that would have been the
problem.

I have noticed that Firefox seems to crash a bit with video embedded
sites lately. Honestly, what I've found that helped me was installing
an add-on called Adblock. I installed it at the recommendation of a
friend, but when I did, almost all my crashing problems stopped. You
can download it at www.getadblock.com if you want it. It has fixed
most of my issues.

I can still listen to the stations or videos in question on my

computer using nvda) I try the link in my ot her browsers--sometimes
it works, other times not. other browsers may get unresponsive, or
show the controls but no sound is heard from the embedded player.
I'll get a message like "embedded object unavailable." why would
flash's security diminish with later versions of firefox--i.e., why
did those sites work in earlier ff versions on my older windows xp
computer, but not in the current version on my new windows 7
machine?

What I wrote regarding Firefox 40.0.3 was:

That should work. I thought you were going to say the buttons
weren't
reading for you correctly, because that is often the case with
Firefox.
Flash reads
better with Internet Explorer. If you're getting a message that
Flash is
disabled, it suggests that there is a security flaw in Flash and
Firefox
is blocking
access to it until Adobe releases a patched version of Flash. If
it's
crashing, that's a beast of another color.

using firefox 40.0.3; what is the latest version that supports
afp? on
some websites that use flash content (youtube, spotify, live365,
video
streaming sites with embedded objects or players, etc.) I get a
popup
saying the adobe flash plug-in has crashed. the same site may
or may
not work on other browsers such as IE, chrome or webbIE.
uninstalling
and reinstalling afp didn't improve things. thanks for your
feedback.
