iTunes is pretty much usable with jaws 16. It's been too long since I used version 14 so I can't remember.

Not fully, but the BlindTunes scripts do help.

Yes, Just go to the address bar, Alt plus D, then press control plus a to select the address bar. Control C to copy the link to the clipboard, then paste the address in to an email. Hope this helps.

Apparently, Firefox 41 is less JAWS friendly than previous versions. Someone on another list discovered that Webvisum does not work with FF 41. So you might want to consider using and earlier version.

Recently, Jaws is not reading the tab labels in firefox. I'm running Jaws 16 and Firefox 41.0.2

I'd made some suggested changes to the firefox configuration a while back that worked till recently.
Now I can't tell what tab I'm selecting from the toolbar.
Jaws just says...
Tool bar
Tab selected
1 of 5
Tool bar
Tab selected
2 of 5
Tool bar
Tab selected
3 of 5
Tool bar
Tab selected
4 of 5
Tool bar
Tab selected
5 of 5

There are also several unlabeled buttons.

I followed steps to restore Firefox now Jaws has trouble reading other things such as lists in the download, history, favorites, and tags library.

At least I have a backup of the prefs.js file. And, hopefully Still can find the instructions how to make Firefox more Jaws friendly.

F6 has more than one function on a webpage, so I think alt-d is a better choice. Selecting the address is all it does. Then, as you say, control-c for copy, control-v to paste into the email.

While listening or watching the You-Tube link, press the F-6 key on your keyboard. The address of the link will then be presented. Highlight the address. Copy it to the clipboard. Using the keys control C. Then paste the link in your message.

Good morning all,

I have written some scripts, those scripts are associated with some
keystrokes.

There is a way to associate those scripts to gestures?

For example I have a script that with one keystroke switch the language
between English/Spanish/French. Through scripting is a way to associate a
gesture or the convention of more gestures to a script written by the users?



Thanks

Hi Sandra,
I have done this many times
While the Youtube video is streaming, you do Alt+D, then Ctrl+C to copy to clip board
Then you can paste into the email by Ctrl+V
Good luck,

John

Do you have the you tube app on your device like a tablet or a phone. what you could do is go to that particular you tube video that you want to send through email and then share it and in there it gives you the option to send to your email client whatever is the default email client on your mobile devices whether that bea tablet or phone. I hope this helps you out.

Hello!

Could someone please give me instructions on an easy way to paste YouTube links into an email, so that I can share interesting videos with the recipient?

Thanks!

Thank you! This is good stuff as well!

I am currently using Outlook 2010; but, I think 2013 is about the same.

1. Press alt+f to open the file menus
2. Down arrow to the info tap; but, do not enter.
3. Tab three times and enter twice on accounts.
4. Now press control tab once to change to the next page.
5. The last area on this page is the list of email accounts that you have on
your machine.
6. Up or down arrow to select the account you want to make default and shift
tab to the set as default account option.
7. Now tab to the close button and press spacebar.
I believe this is what you are looking for!

Dave,

Your suggestion solved the Webvisum problem. Sorry for the delayed response, but it's been a busy 24 hours and I was only just now able to test it. The solution is hardly intuitive, so once again, you have me shaking my head.

Hi Kevin,

In case you're still interested, read on, but it's a lengthy message!

I was able to do this with a macro in Excel 2013 on Windows 7 using JAWS 16. I don't use the virtual ribbon. If you have different versions, or you use the virtual ribbon, the specific keystrokes may change. Here's what I did.

I had previously made sure the Developer tab was available on the ribbon in Excel - it's not by default. To check whether it's there, press Alt to go to the upper ribbon, then RightArrow across. For me, it's just after the View tab. If it's not there, you need to go into the Options dialogue to turn it on. The keytips for this are Alt, F, T.

DownArrow to Customize Ribbon and then Tab to "Ribbon Tree view Excel Options Home open". DownArrow to Developer. There is a checkbox next to it which JAWS does not announce. Press Space to toggle the setting - JAWS doesn't announce it. Press Enter to close the dialogue and check the ribbon again - the Developer tab should now be there.

Next, open a spreadsheet. Go to the Developer tab with Alt, L, and Tab to "use relative reference". If it's not announced as "checked", press Space to check it. For me, this option defaults to unchecked every time I start Excel.

Checking the option removes you from the ribbon, so press Alt, L to get back to the Developer tab and choose Record Macro, keytip R

A dialogue opens. You have to give your macro a name which has to start with a letter (not a number or punctuation mark) and must not contain spaces.

Tab to the shortcut key edit. All you can specify is a letter. The modifier is already set as Ctrl and can't be changed. I choose Q usually, because it's easy to find!

Tab once more to a "Store macro in" combo box and set it to Personal Macro Workbook if you want it to be available for other spreadsheets.

OK the dialogue and you're finally ready to record the steps you need!
Press Ctrl+1 to open the Format dialogue.
RightArrow to the Border tab
Tab once to the Style list, and DownArrow to "double", which is the last one, and press Space to select it.
Tab once to Line Colour and press Space to open the Colour picker. This is an array and there are a number of ways to navigate it to the colour of your choice. For red, I UpArrow twice to the Standard colour list, then LeftArrow four times. Press Space bar to select it.
Tab twice to the Presets Outline button, and Space to press it.
Press Enter to close the dialogue.

Now stop recording the macro with Alt, L, R - the same keytips you use for start recording.

And that should be it!

In my experience, if you press the keystroke on the wrong cell, you can't press Ctrl+Z to undo it. If you realise you've made a mistake immediately, you can press Ctrl+1 and you're on the right page of the dialogue, so it's just a matter of tabbing to the Presets None button and pressing it.

Last thing to mention is that if you stored the macro in the Personal Macro Workbook, this is a hidden workbook that opens every time you run Excel. To make changes or delete the macro, you have to open Excel, go to the View tab and press Unhide - Alt, W, U. Then you can use Alt+F8 to get to the Macro dialogue and change or remove it.

Have fun!
Steve

Hi:



I am using Jaws 14 and Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.



I have 2 mail accounts. How can I transfer all my old contacts in the
address book to my new email account? Only some came across.



Thank you.





Sincerely,



Lauren

Hey guys,
Looks like this topic is not interesting for all of you at all.
Anyway, maybe it will be something that you will need. Let me tell you how I fixed my problem.
I was getting problems on my tablet with the lock screen, later I was noticing that jaws 16, and jaws 17 weren't working well either.
First, I modified the register to remove the lock screen, in Google you can find the way if you want to remove the lock screen, the lock screen looks like doesn't have a reason to exist.
Talking with freedom scientific, they told me that the last update of jaws 17, that was out a few days ago, fixed my problems. Now the virtual keyboard appears when I need it, and jaws looks more stable on my both tablets.
Moreover, fs told me that jaws 17 will have support for the touch keyboard, like we have in the iPhones and iPads, that we slide our finger on the screen, and we release our finger from the screen, and it type the character that we want.
Jaws on tablets without keyboard is very very good, it is not like a an iPad or an iPhones yet, but we are going on that direction. I am working on my tablet without any keyboard, and there are still many thing that I need to learn, but it is very good.

Greetings!



Please note, direct download links are located at the bottom of this
message. To navigate to them immediately, perform a JAWS Find,
(Control+Insert+F), and search for the next occurrence of "1." Though there
was a non-tandem build of JAWS 17, Public Beta 2, there does not appear to
be a similar option for Public Beta 3. I will be pasting four download
links total. These are the two locations for each of the standard builds.



The following is taken from this URL:

http://www.FreedomScientific.com/downloads/JAWS/JAWSPublicBeta#Enhancements



Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.1008 (Public Beta 3)



The following is a list of improvements made between Public Beta 2 and
Public Beta 3. Note that while many customer reported enhancements are
included in this release, the following is a list of more notable changes.



list of 17 items

. You can now press INSERT+X to temporarily toggle Smart Navigation between
off and Controls and Tables for the current web site. Note that when
toggling Smart Navigation under certain circumstances such as in a table,
focus will not always remain at the location of the toggle. This is because
the virtual document is reformatted as JAWS goes in and out of Screen
Layout.

. When Smart Navigation is set to Controls and Tables and you move left or
right through table cells, JAWS now plays an ascending sound when you move
from the last column of the current row to the first column of the next row
and a descending sound when you move from the first column of the current
row to the last column of the prior row. JAWS also announces the number of
the row you moved to.

. The Braille Format Settings page in the Startup Wizard has been renamed to
Braille Translation Settings to more accurately reflect the settings on this
page. In addition, the Format Subgroup in Settings Center has been renamed
to Translation to make it easier to find when searching.

. Resolved a customer reported issue with controls in the Winamp library not
working as expected with JAWS 17 running.

. Changed the hot key for the Open Domain File option in the Script Manager
File menu to display the correct keystroke, CTRL+SHIFT+W.

. Resolved an issue with performing a search in Microsoft Office
Communicator not working as expected while JAWS is running.

. When configured for Unified English Braille (UEB), resolved a customer
reported issue where the number-sign and underline symbols were not being
displayed correctly.

. Addressed a reported issue where the braille flash message status was
showing the wrong message type in some instances.

. Improved JAWS performance when navigating large web pages in Firefox.

. If a web page is opened through a link in the Results Viewer for Research
It, addressed an issue where JAWS would not announce page content when
pressing TAB.

. JAWS language detection now works in Forms Mode for reading and editing.

. Resolved issues with reading PDF documents that open in an Internet
Explorer window.

. JAWS now reads dialog description text in Internet Explorer that is
assigned using the ARIA-DescribedBy attribute.

. Addressed instances where live region updates were not always being
announced on certain web pages.

. Resolved issues with the Time Search and Reuters Top News Stories Research
It lookup sources not displaying results as expected.

. Improved JAWS support for the Alarms and Clock app in Windows 10.

. Resolved an issue encountered on some systems where you would not hear a
sound when you attempted to type a character with the SHIFT key while the
CAPSLOCK was currently on. JAWS now plays a distinct sound to alert you.

Hi All,

What's the trick to playing flash movies? I've never been able to figure it
out. When they show up, Jaws reads flash movie start, then a bunch of
buttons, some unlabeled, and finally flash movie end. I've tried clicking
on each of the buttons to no avail. Any tips?
