Latest Jaws Update?
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
This morning, I received notification that a new Jaws update is available.
Does anyone have info as to what this update addresses?
Am trying to decide whether to download and install it here.
Am currently using Jaws 17.0.2211.
Thank you!
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan

Re: JAWS and installing Adobe products

Hi, Sandra. You can still get Adobe Flash Player. Just follow
the steps at the website below. Be sure to uncheck boxes associated with Chrome
if you're not using Chrome as your Internet Browser. What will happen when you
click Install now is this. You will begin receiving a download of an .exe file
which you will run to install Flash Player.
Here is the link.

JAWS and installing Adobe products
Sandra Streeter
Hi, all,
First, let me get one thing straight: they are no longer offering Flash
Player, and now, it’s Shockwave, correct? Like a fool, I got rid of the add-ons
through Manage Add-Ons, and so, went to Adobe proper to see if I could get
either Flash or Shockwave; well, after multiple experiments, I find either I am
clueless about how to make Adobe work for the installation process, or it’s just
plain not accessible. Any tricks that would get installations to happen, using
JAWS? Can’t use Youtube now, and am pining for it...

Re: Using Microsoft Narrator to download and install JAWS
Pablo Morales
Yes, you are able to download jaws using narrator. It is what I did; Open ie. Go to the address bar, pressing alt d, and typing the URL of freedom scientific. Freedomscientific.com Press enter Now you press control f, to search for downloads Now you press enter. Now you press again control f, and now search for jaws, then press enter Again, ppress control f and search again for jaws, but this time you will be pending of listening which jaws are you finding pressing control f. So when you find the version of jaws that you want, press enter. It is all,

Hi,
You could also use NVDA installed on a USB memory stick. You’d have to know the drive letter of the USB drive in order to start NVDA, but you could press Windows R to bring up the run command, and then try different drive letters, i.e. E:\NVDA. If this doesn’t work, press escape, then Windows R followed by F:\NVDA, etc.
The nice thing about running NVDA from a thumb drive is, unlike Jaws, you don’t need to install video intercept or anything else.
You, of course, will need to have Jaws, or another screen reader running in order to download and install the portable version of NVDA. HTH.

It is true that the JAWS keyboard help will not speak all keys.

I am pretty sure win+enter does _not_ work on win7, IIRC it's win+u

there,, though that may just bring up the accessibility center with speech enabled. If win+u does not start narrator I know the accessibility center can do so.

Re: Using Microsoft Narrator to download and install JAWS
Page, Aaron
Keith,
Not 100% sure if this works in Windows 7 or not, but you can give it a try. Narrator was beefed up in Windows 10, and I know these steps would work on Windows 10:
Press the Windows Key + Enter simultaneously to start Narrator. This works at the login screen in Windows 10. Hold down Caps Lock and use the left/right arrow keys to move between objects/buttons/controls. This works at the login screen and on web pages.
I was able to use Narrator in this fashion to login, download, and install JAWS on a new Windows 10 installation. However, Narrator was far less sophisticated in Windows 7 so this may not work.
I hope this helps!

Hi,
I have 2 new computers with Windows 7 Pro that do not yet have a screen reader.
I think I’ll need to use Microsoft Narrator to gain Administrative privileges to download and install JAWS.
Do you think this will work? How can I activate Narrator? Any advice on practical use within Narrator will be much appreciated.
Is there any way to activate Narrator from the Login Screen? I doubt it, but thought I’d ask.

I think the easiest way is to press the windows key+r, type narrator and press enter. I don't know if it can be set to load at the login screen.

narrator is robust enough to manage it (the hardest step is using it with internet explorer to perform the actual download, everything else is trivial).

Jaws keyboard help
Mark Furness
I know that jaws key plus 1 turns it on/off.
However when on it does not say all the keys on my assus laptop. I also thought it stops the pressed keys from being passed through. Not true with the power on/off key.. It does not state the button left key on num pad either.
