Good afternoon all,

I asked earlier in the week if Jaws and Microsoft 365 worked well together. Someone posted that there is a tutorial… I did not make a note of it so can someone please post it again? I now have 365 installed and am finding key commands are different.

Thanks! much!

Hi,
Following is the punctuation script and where it is available along with
installation instructions.

Maybe it does needs compiling again under Jaws 2019 and so I’ll try that
solution.

Source: http://www.jaws-users.com/scripts/JAWS/PunctuationLevelScript.html
Follow these steps to insert the code required to set up a hot key to
toggle
the Jaws punctuation level.

press insert 0 (on the number row).
press control shift D
You should hear jaws script manage default.jss.
Hit control+end this will take you to the bottom of the file.
Hit enter twice, to insert a couple of blank lines.
paste in the following lines for the script:

Script TogglePunctuation ()
Say (PunctuationToggle (false), ot_no_disable)
EndScript

Place your cursor on the line that says Say (PunctuationToggle (false),
ot_no_disable).
Hit control+d.
Hit tab this will put you on the "can be attached to key" check box, this
should be checked, if it is not hit "space bar" to check it.
Hit tab this will take you to the "synopsis" where you can put in a short
description if you want.
Tab to the "assign short cut key" field and press the keystroke you want
to
use for the script. Such as Control+Shift+P.
Tab to the okay button and enter. This will take you back to the script
editor.
Press control+S to compile your changes.
Press Alt-F4 to close the script editor

Cheers
Tom

I haven't heard of this particular script.

Just to verify, is this a third-party script for which you were
provided with the .jsb file? If so, please make sure you can locate
the file in the following location:
C:\Users\[YourUserDirectory]\AppData\Roaming\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\2019\Settings\enu If you have the .jss and/or .jsh
file, you should probably show it to someone who knows how to read it
to verify that it's not calling on a particular script or function or
something that's been moved around in JAWS 2019.

Hi

I have experienced a problem with the punctuation script since upgrading
from Jaws 2018 to 2019.

Under 2018, the script could be run from anywhere on the system but since
changing to 2019, the only place the script works is when it is run from
the
desktop. If I am in a folder on another drive say, hitting shift control
P,
Jaws says, "unknown script call to".

If I still wish to change the punctuation level then it is a trip back to
the Desktop and try again.

I think it was just poor timing on my part. I was having trouble with setting up my website and someone offered to help me set things up.  Sadly his grammar in correspondence was so atrocious that it was hard to fathom him being a professional.  The idea from me was, if he paid such little attention to using a spell checker to check grammar and spelling, how much dedication would he have towards helping me and listening to my requirements. So, with Brian, I think with his responses being so quick and at times where people would be normally sleeping or getting up, I doubted the validity of his product. Or, to be blunt, I thought it was all a scam. Like I said, the timing was poor.  Also, I have become busy with my dog boarding and training so, have little time to take the power point course.  By the time I could take it, my brain would be to tired to take anything in anyway. Hopefully they will get enough interest to get it off the ground.  Maybe in a year I will be able to purchase the course but, more importantly have the time to listen to it with my brain not being to tired. Think of it this way, you are looking after a toddler and have to watch it all the time and ones around you are not making the area toddler safe even though they’ve been told too.

Hi David,

I believe Brian works from home and is naturally awake very early in the morning (presumably due to non-24), so I guess he figured he'd use his time productively and take care of some work emails while things were quiet.

Obviously, if you're unhappy with the quality of the response you received you're under no obligation to continue doing business with Hartgen Consultancy, but I wouldn't not work with them just because of the time they happen to be awake.

I did not get a good feeling with the correspondence I received. The office is based in the U K, yet the times of the correspondence did not jive with U K time, for that matter U S either. If a office opens at 9 AM, why would one get correspondence at 5 AM?  Even allowing for time zones, that is still before the business opens. JMT.

Subject: [Leasey] Potential Training Course: Microsoft PowerPoint with JAWS for Windows.

 

The following message is from Brian Hartgen and was posted to the Leasey mailing list.

 

Several weeks ago, we were asked if a training course could be created to teach people how to use Microsoft PowerPoint with JAWS. People not only wanted to learn how to prepare visually appealing PowerPoint presentations, (including adding graphical images), but also how to add music or sound to them, run the presentations as slide shows and add or review Speakers Notes.

 

This training course has now been researched and it is possible this could be produced in January of 2019. Teaching this subject however is very high risk in a number of areas.

 

As blind people managing our small company, we will need to ensure that visual assistance is obtained so as to include visually appealing graphics of the required dimensions. But most importantly, it is our view that the support currently provided in terms of screen-reading with PowerPoint from Office 365 is simply not sufficient for what we need to do. Conveying this subject in easy to understand terms was always going to be tricky, but to do so when the access you will receive in this area has shortcomings is even more problematic.

 

A basic example would be accessing the Speakers Notes. These are notes or reminders to you, the person delivering the presentation, as to what you can say above and beyond what is stated in the slide the audience is viewing. There used to be a keystroke which would allow focus to be set to that area of the screen. This is no longer possible. Moreover, if you are using a Braille display, how are you going to read those notes without disturbing visual focus away from the application? A mechanism for listening to those notes also needs to be found. There are also a large number of other inaccessible areas which need some attention.

 

To that end, as with all our training courses, we would need please a commitment from anyone interested to make the project viable. This would allow for the delivery of the training course together with bringing the existing JAWS support up-to-date.

We have had a small number of people expressing an interest in this subject so far, but whether it goes ahead really does boil down to what kind of commitment we do receive.

 

The training course would be delivered over a four-hour period in January of 2019. It would include details of many aspects of creating presentations in an accessible way, identifying (as far as possible) whether the presentations were visually acceptable, navigating through slides, working with visual themes, using tables and bulleted lists, editing presentations, delivering your presentation to an audience, and more. A full course outline would be presented if the training course goes ahead.

 

If you would like to purchase this training course, please write to brian@.... We will then send to you an invoice for payment. Assuming we have enough committed people to make the course viable, then we will present the details formally on our website with a full course outline. The cost would be £50 which is currently $62. We would ideally need to hear from you by 7 December 2018 because that will give sufficient time for the JAWS scripting work to go ahead prior to the commencement of the training course in 2019.

 

If we do not receive a sufficient response, unfortunately we cannot take this project further because there are many hours of work ahead even before a training course of this magnitude can start to be prepared.

 

We very much look forward to hearing from anyone interested in what could be an interesting venture.

Hi Isaac,

I'm afraid I'm not convinced that this is necessary or even appropriate.
Freedom Scientific scripts could change at any time, even from minor JAWS
version to minor JAWS version. If you restore from a personal backup of the
Freedom Scientific stock scripts you could well end up restoring an earlier
version which re-introduces problems which have subsequently been fixed.

A JAWS repair is a perfectly adequate way of restoring stock scripts if they
do go missing somehow. If you're particularly paranoid you could keep a
backup copy of the JAWS installer.

Matthew

Yes, but also backup the freedomscientific scripts as well so you always
have a clean copy if you need it.

Back up your user scripts folder, because this is where script files you
modify are saved to, so that they do not become mixed with the scripts
Freedom Scientific provides. The location of your user scripts folder is the
one I provided in step 4 of Part a of my instructions.

also to add to what you just said, after a new install copy the

default scripts folder some place else so you have a backup so in the

future if you

are modifying scripts you don't have to uninstall jaws and reinstall

as there might be other scripts you have modified and would lose. The

point is

hear, backup, backup, backup. Always backup.

Those instructions are incorrect. You should never modify default.jss

or default.jsb files. There are other ways that Freedom Scientific has

designed for you to create or modify JAWS behavior.

What you need to do is this:

Part A: Check your default.jss and default.jsb file 1. Open Script

Manager and press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the default file.

2. See if your punctuation script is in the file. If it is, keep

following these instructions. If not, skip to Part B.

3. You need to get a clean copy of these files. The way I would

recommend is to completely remove JAWS 2019 from your system. Then

install JAWS 2019 again, but do not migrate any settings because then

you will be back where you started.

4. Check before using JAWS that this folder is completely empty:

C:\Users\[YourUserDirectory]\AppData\Roaming\Freedom

Scientific\JAWS\2019\Settings\enu.

Part B: Adding your punctuation script 1. Open Script Manager.

2. Press CTRL+O to open the Open dialog.

3. Navigate to this location: C:\ProgramData\Freedom

Scientific\JAWS\2019\Scripts.

4. Open the file MyExtensions.jss.

5. Write your script at the bottom of this file, and press CTRL+S to

compile

it.
