screen coordinates
Tom <tomcat509@...>
Hi,
I need the X,Y coordinates of a particular point on the screen so a macro can be made to left click on that point when required.
Is it possible to have Jaws determine and read out the X,Y coordinates of the desired point and if so, how?
Thanks Tom

So, hitting the Windows key with the letter D or, with the letter M doesn’t
take you to your desktop where you can recover?

Re: Anyone using the ADT website with JAWS?
David Ingram
What version of jaws are you using? I'm using jaws version 16. I didn't have to create a profile but maybe that is something that will have to be looked at. Other than that I didn't notice any problems with the web cite. I usually talk to someone to get things done..

Is there a way to write jaws scripts for i lock license manager?

I can be reached at dingram269@earthlink.net. Thank you for any information that you might have concerning these questions.

Re: Trouble with "task switching"

Actually there programs open. All I can do is listen to it say "task switching" and the name of the open programs as I alt tab. I can do nothing but switch between programs without any further control. Do do a restart I have to ask Cortana because none of my controls work.

Is there a way to create hot spots for i lock manager"
David Ingram
Hi list members, is there a way to create hot spots for I lock manager? The reason why I ask this question is because I've been having a hard time trying to register native instruments. I've also had problems with trying to load those instruments and do other things as well. I can be reached at dingram269@earthlink.net.

Different browsers
David & his pack of dogs <myguidedogis@...>
My step daughter was in town for about 5 days, leaving today. To give her something to do, I asked her if she would help me on my Facebook account loading pics and assigning text to each. She used I E and got frustrated. Then she tried Google Chrome to work on my YouTube channel. She found it much easier to work with. It should be noted she is sighted and we worked on both projects for about 12 hours, staying up till about 5:30 AM this morning. I am curious the pics at the Facebook page The Diamond Touch Dog Rehabilitation Center, does V O, Jaws or the screen reader software that an Android device comes with, give a description of the Pics? The reason it took so long was, there was about 270 pics including videos and she found things that were supposed to be fixed up by someone else, were not. For example, my bio had me working at a guide dog school. Alright, those who have gone to guide dog schools, yes, it is work however, we are not employed by the school. Anyway, if anyone has the time, give me feedback as one of the things I was supposed to work on was making my pages more accessible. The gratitude towards her cannot be under estimated as she did it for free whereas others got paid for it.

ITeleport
Annabelle Susan Morison
Hi, it's
Annabelle.
I have this program
called ITeleport, which allows one to share their computer screen with a sighted
friend. My friend, Markus Johnson (yes, that's "Markus" with a "k", not a "c"),
was the one who introduced me to it, and he and I use it on a regular basis to
make mouse scripts with Axife Mouse Recorder. So what I'd like to find out is,
will JAWS 15 with OCR understand the buttons and controls in ITeleport? Or will
I have to have someone make scripts for the
program?

Jaws, Magic, Office 2013 combo causing crashes
Amy Bower
Hi All - just returning to this list after a long break, so my apologies if this topic has been covered. My basic set up is Windows 7 with Office 2013. When I upgraded to Jaws 18, and then Jaws2018, along with Magic 14, I got repeated crashes of Jaws and/or Magic that required reboot to recover. Happened on two platforms. Seemed to occur mostly when using Office applications (Outllook, Word, maybe PowerPoint). Would get several crashes per day, so had to roll back to Jaws 17 and Magic 13.1. I want to use new features available in Jaws 2018, but can't live with the constant instability. Registered a complaint with VFO that was thrown up to the developers, but no fix or response (that was months ago). Wondering if anyone else encountered this and/or found a fix? Will upgrading to Windows 10 and/or Office 2016 solve the problem?
Thanks. -Amy B.
