OneNote blind New features and new demo recording
John Martyn
Hi all,
For those that haven't kept up, one note blind has broken down a lot of barriers and you can do more than you thought previously possible. You can not only create notes and organize your stuff, but you can also attach files, images, and audio and video recording to notes too. The latest audio demo covers this. Give it a listen: http://www.OneNoteBlind.com/demo.mp3 Thanks for taking the time, JohnMartyn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Autofill not working in IE10
Matthew Bullis <matthewbullis@...>
So I got an incomprehensible and thus not helpful answer from Freedom Scientific on this question, but since I upgraded from IE9 to IE10, I can't, for instance, be on an e-mail field and down arrow twice and have it fill in my username on a site. The password fills in like normal, but is this a Jaws problem or something that is lacking in IE10?
Thanks a lot. Matthew

I just use the create new shortcut function of Windows. When it asks for the location of the shortcut, I paste in the URL, and I send the shortcut to the desktop. Then I can move it into a folder where all my shortcuts are stored.

Firefox.com should do it, either that or Mozilla.org. But firefox.com

You could export your bookmarks to an html file, which, when opened,

would provide all your links on a page. This is what I've done to eliminate the need to deal with Firefox's convoluted bookmark structure.

Re: Chrome & Jaws 14 question
Russell Solowoniuk
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I tried your suggestion of pressing either shift or CTRL +enter to open links in Chrome, and, it works in most cases! Thanks so much for the tip! I have found one place where it doesn't work however, and, I wonder if someone can try this to see if it's just something weird going on with my laptop. In the Gmail webmail site, the only way I am able to open a message in Chrome is to place the PC cursor on the subject of the message, and then route the Jaws cursor to the PC and perform a left mouse click. Pressing enter, shift + enter, or CTRL + enter on the subject of the message does nothing. Sort of strange... you'd think that because both products are made by Google, they would work well together. Can someone who has a Gmail account and Chrome installed please try opening a message and let me know what happens? Thanks all. Russell

Hello,

I am wondering how you got chromevox running on your chrome? I can't seem to find the "install" button after finding chromevox in the google store. I click add to chrome and Jaws freezes and NVDA sees a dialogue box it can't click on. Also, have you found using Chromevox is better with interacting with Google dox and other Google products than the screen readers are with other web browsers? Thanks, Brandon Keith Biggs

Hi Brandon: I believe that is the endgame, yes. Initially, the feature appears to be confined to performing searches, but even a cursory glance at how other Google products operate, Android, Google Glass, and it's pretty clear that it'll have more functionality built into it as it evolves. Here's a video of how it'll work initially: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egD18_iMGmU That said, these features might well come to Firefox as well, especially if it's beneficial enough to be more than a novelty. I do voice search with https://google.com/ now in Chrome and it's been surprisingly, even shockingly, accurate, at least with a good mic. For me, it's the most exciting feature to potentially come to web browsing since, well, I started browsing.

But I suspect that's just me. For solving capchas, though, you can't beat Firefox and web visim. I haven't put that on my new PC yet, but it's on my to-do list. But navigating pages is pretty much the same as IE. Jean

I haven't heard about this chrome feature. Is it like Siri on the Iphone, so I can just say "Go to my facebook friends" and it will do that, or "open a google doc" and it will do that? I'm not a very big fan of voice speaking for most things, but for shortcuts like the above voice commands beet memorizing a ton of keystrokes that may not even able to be mapped in the first place.

Russell made a great case for it that I second. However, if I were you, I'd put some time into Chrome. Within a few weeks, it's likely that at least the Beta version of Chrome will have an always-on microphone to which you'll be able to speak commands. Obviously, this has at least the potential to seriously simplify browser usage going forward. If you're interested in such a feature, it might be worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the browser prior to its coming online. If such a feature doesn't float your boat, then Firefox is perfectly reasonable. Spence On Sat, 25 May 2013, Matthew Bullis wrote: So my question is for pretty experienced Firefox users then.

Firefox has more plugins and dynamic capabilities than IE. I don't know about first letter navigation, but if it is based off the screen reader the functionality is the same. Firefox just takes some configuring, like shockwave and Silverlight to be turned off. Thanks, Brandon Keith Biggs
