Re: Mouse Echo and Mouse Tracking?
I asked whether the same things as NVDA mouse tracking was "in the pipeline" for JAWS yesterday and was informed Mouse Echo was introduced with JAWS 18.
The descriptions so far are excellent as far as potential uses. Another thing it can be good for is getting a "quick and dirty" overview of what's on a page that's far easier and more efficient than tabbing around, going down a links list, etc. I haven't tried JAWS mouse echo yet on either a regular device or touch screen device, but the potential on a touch screen for "methodical finger search" is just huge. It essentially mimics what folks are used to with VoiceOver or TalkBack in that what's under your finger (or mouse pointer on a non-touch screen device) is constantly being announced. -- Brian Version 1703, Build 15063.296, Home 64-bit

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if it is all possible if I can connect my laptop to a computer that is need of repair; especially, if I need to get into bios on the non-working computer. I’ve asked/suggested this to Freedom Scientific; however, the feedback was not entirely encouraging. I’m currently an instructor of the JAWS software and a few other adaptive technologies, but my real love is repairing computers. if anyone has any suggestions that will help, I greatly appreciate it.

Re: Mouse Echo and Mouse Tracking?
Bill White <billwhite92701@...>
Hi, Shannon. Previously, if one came upon a link or icon which would not click with ENTER or CONTROL plus ENTER, or the like, there was no way to use the mouse to navigate to it and activate it. Now, when Mouse echo is turned on, when the mouse is moved, a user can tell what they are navigating over. If you hear what you want to activate, you can click the mouse and activate the link or icon. Previously, this was impossible, because there was no audio indication of where the mouse pointer was.

Hi David,
I read about this feature also and have been meaning to try it. However, while I can find Mouse Echo in the Settings Centre when default settings are loaded, the layered keystroke Jaws Key+Spacebar followed by E does not say anything, e.g. it is not like Jaws Key+Spacebar followed by O which says “OCR” or Jaws Key+Spacebar followed by Shift+H which says “Speech History Cleared”. Shouldn’t it say “Mouse Echo On” or “Mouse Echo Off”?

Hi Bill, The Mouse echo feature, when it is turned on with the key command you just said, enables one to use a mouse or the touch pad on your laptop and JAWS will say what you move the mouse pointer over. It works pretty well, and it allows you to move the mouse pointer around and here what you are moving it over so you can use the mouse and click just like a sighted person. NVDA has had this feature built into it for a long time. With JAWS, the mouse echo feature does not play any tones like NVDA does to let you know where the pointer is on the screen, but you can navigate the screen pretty well with this feature in JAWS. When you are done using the Mouse echo, just use the same key command Insert+Space bar and then e to turn it off. I have it set to say words as the mouse moves around the screen. Take care!

Hi, Here is what you want. Press Windows+R to open the run dialog. Type the following just like I type it: jaws18 /default Press enter and JAWS will come up with all factory defaults.

Copying information from 1 computer to another
Ann Byrne
One of the programs I use with my student has a non-standard highlight. With a lot of cussing and fussing I was able to reassign the highlight indicator to reference the foreground and background colors of the program so that JAWS spoke the text on the screen. when I put the stinker on a new computer, however, I was unable to locate the text in order to tell JAWS about the colors. How can I copy the information from the old JAWS/computer? I have looked at Explore my Settings, personalized settings, and any number of other clever things, but can't find a sneaky little JAWS file that applies itself to the program I tweaked. Oh, where, oh, where, has that stinkin' highlight reference gone????
Much thanks, Ann

I would be one of many conversions from WindowEyes. I have downloaded the trial of JAWS 18 and pretty concerned about what it can and cannot do. I know that there is a large learning curve I will have to go through, and that is only one of my concerns. I have been reading the list for the last few days and a few things mentioned by others concern me. I also use here at work Office 2010, Outlook, Word and Excel all the time. I saw a mention of excel not working well with JAWS? Is that true? That would be a deal breaker for me. I use spread sheets every single day to do my job. I also use on a daily basis the MS Query feature. Will JAWS handle the queries? I make mail merge documents frequently and they tie to the MS Databases. Will Jaws work with outlook 2010? I have over 10 different email profiles set up and I need access to them. Does JAWS have a way to search the screen for text or buttons to be clicked by the mouse or a "HotSpot" feature as WE did/does? I use that feature everyday along with custom scripts to get access to the time keeping software programs. The language in the control panel seams so foreign to me. I can't tell, but it seems as if Jaws acknowledges 4 kinds of cursers? A virtual curser, a JAWS curser, PC Curser, and something called Mouse overlay? Is the Jaws curser the mouse? What is the Mouse overlay? Can I read the screen with the mouse? Since I am new and don't know how it works and how to configure it I can't tell what I can and can't do. I can tell that many functions of the accounting program, and the three programs that are involved in time tracking do not behave well and most likely are going to require special custom scripts. Before I spend a lot of money and time I want to know if Jaws can even do the little stuff like Office and surfing the web? If JAWS doesn't like Office 2010 what version does it like? Thanks for your time. Shannon

1. Open Outlook. 2. Type F followed by T for Options. 3. You should be on General options when Options opens. 4. Arrow down to Mail. 5. TAB nine times. There should be a button which says Play a Sound checkbox. If it is unchecked, press SPACE to check it. 6. TAB to the OK button, and press ENTER.
