Hi Mario,
I only have Jaws 2018 and thanks to your info, I found them in:
"C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2018\SETTINGS\enu\SOUNDS"

I don't know that I'll ever do anything with this, but it is fun to know about. Someone at Freedom Scientific must have been a Victor Borge fan.

For those who do not know that name, he was an excellent pianist, but also a very funny comedian who had a great routine about phonetic punctuation.

You can check it out on YouTube:

Thanks,
Richard

Right, but if one wanted to use a custom sound, it would be necessary to
know where the folder is, unless there isn't one and they are simple
part of the program.

Thanks,
Richard

Richard, the sounds may be unique to JAWS because most, if not all, come
from the VFO employees and are probably used in particular features of
JAWS). but they're plain old wav files (nothing special).

I just took a look at this. Quite interesting. You hit add, then tab
over to the list of sounds.

I'm curious, where do those sound files reside?

Are they part of the Windows sounds, or unique to Jaws?

Thanks,
Richard

Hello all,


Is there a way to substitute punctuation marks with custom sounds? I am
a developer and often times I have to listen to tongue twisters of
punctuation marks, like "left bracket right brace left paren ..." I wish
to replace all these parens and brackets with sounds. Is there a way to
do so in Jaws?


Thanks

Re: Getting to the GMail inbox in Outlook

Hi Ann,

Once you're in the gmail inbox;
Press control + Y
Arrow down once and you'll hear "left bracket gmail right bracket closed"
Press right arrow and you'll hear "open"
Now you can arrow down and find the other folders such as trash, etc.

Hope this helps ......

Re: dvd-cd drive

Carol Smith
 

Yes, that is the way it works. I paid about $1,400 for a very nice Dell computer and they installed a very cheap laptop drive that probably costs about $20. And, being a laptop drive, I can't change it out for another one because it it is part of the front panel and it does not have enough space to put a standard one in it, even if I wanted to.

Hi All,

 

Running Windows 7 Pro, Jaws 16 thru J2018, & Office 2010.

 

 What I am wanting to do is to be able to paste 1 page over the top of another in this format.  I have trivia questions that I send out with answers, There are 15 questions with 15 answers.  I would like for the questions to have 6 blank lines between them.  i.e, Question #1 would be on line #1, Q #2 would be on line #7, Q #3 would be on line #13....

 

This way when I paste the answers over the top of the questions, with the answers being of  a simlar format, but using different line numbers.  i.e, Answer #1 would be on line #4, A #2 would be on #10, A #3 would be on line #16..., all the way through for the 15 questions & answers..

 

Using this presumed format each line of text, either a question or answer, would have 2 blank lines separating them.  Is there a macro or template available that will do this?  If not, can someone give me instructions on how to create such a macro or template?
All help will be greatly appreciated & graciously accepted.  Thank y'all very much.

Try saving the document. Excel will ask if you trust the source of the document. When you save the workbook, you can print or edit it.

Hi Nino,

 

It will depend on how you are using the virtual machine.  I am using VMware Pro to run a copy of Windows 7 and and an additional copy of Windows 10 on my labtop.  I run the virtual machines with JAWS 40 demo mode mode.  If you plan to use JAWS in a virtual machine for longer than 40 minutes, consider investing in a USB dongle to authorize either machine.

 

Hope this helps,
