Braille display and jaws problem
Ari Damoulakis
Hi everyone
I hope someone can give me some answers or additional tips on what to try, since I tried asking on the Facebook group, but no luck yet. I have used a Seika 40 (Perkins in the US) and U2 in the past successfully with jaws, but for some reason I can't get the newest version of jaws to communicate with them at all. In fact I can't get the newest version of JAWS to communicate with any braille display. When I say communicate, I mean that I am connecting the displays properly to the PC. I have tried Bluetooth and USB. The displays are displaying braille and are working with NVDA. I add them in JAWS. When I try their Bluetooth ports, I am inputting the com numbers the computer is giving me. When I try the USB, the drivers are installed correctly, I write USB. Nothing is happening when I restart JAWS or the PC and JAWS. I am not getting an error message, but no braille is being displayed either. I have unpaired them from the PC and paried them again. I have tried their supposed input and output ports just to make really sure. I have tried the USB, nothing. I really have no idea what else to try? Is it just me or does anyone else believe that the whole interface of configuring JAWS and a braille display lacks the ease of the iPhone, or even NVDA? And when you write to support of iether the screenreader or the braille display manufacturer, the one manufacturer thinks it could be the other product and the support departments shift the problem to each other like tennis. Freedom Scientific should totally redesign the whole braille display module or interface of jaws, or something should be done to find some sort of solution to the whole three-way problem of hardware, software and operating system triangulate in some sort of easier solution. Thanks very much Ari

Announcing Tabs On A Line
munawarb@...
In NVDA, you are able to set an option that will tell you how many tabs a line is indented by. Is there such a feature in JAWS?
I've checked out Speech and Sound Schemes but when I use the Visual Studio (Indent) scheme in Visual Studio, I don't hear tab indications. My code uses standard tabbing where each indent is one tab (not two, 4 or 8 spaces as presented in Speech and Sound Schemes.) I see the speech and sound option for one tab is 0.125 inches. Isn't this a "dangerous" implementation since it's based on a hard-coded tab width (which of course doesn't work in VS?) It cant' be that a screen reader like this doesn't offer the ability to announce tabs, so can someone help me out here? How do I turn on tab announcements? I've recently switched back to JAWS after a few years away from it now that the pricing is more friendly and love what I'm seeing except for this one problem.

On this kind of topic, I've seen ads on Facebook
for extremely cheap Office 365, possibly claiming to be lifetime on sites like
Digital Upgrade Studio. I'm kind of skeptical that these are bad in some way,
but they keep popping up now and again on FB, the same outfit. I think the $11
deals on Ebay can be mostly legit in people wanting to get rid of stuff they no
longer use, but there's very little lifetime anything when it comes to

Re: How do I make a webpage the default in Chrome?
To get to the Chrome Menu button simply hit ALT and focus will be thrown to it. Then hit Enter to open the menu choices.
After this, you can either down arrow to Settings and hit Enter or just hit S as that first letter activates it, either way the settings tab will open and focus will be thrown to it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: How do I make a webpage the default in Chrome?
Keith,
I am presuming you already know how to get to the Chrome menu button and to select Settings from said menu. [If not, just say so.] Once Settings open search on "On Startup" which is a section with three radio buttons (and you'll be selecting number three):
Once you select that radio button several things appear depending on what you've done in the past:
Obviously, if you choose the "Add a new page" link you get a pop-up dialog asking you to enter the URL for same. You can enter more than one page by activating this link repeatedly if you want multiple tabs to open when Chrome starts, each with one of the specified webpages. Any additional questions please ask. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Nino, right click the link, arrow down to and press the enter key on the

save link as command. the standard save as dialog should open allowing you to type a name for the file (or accept the default name) and change the location to where you want to save it onto your HD. depending on which browser you're using, the term (it might just say save as instead of save link as) and manner in which it saves the PDF changes slightly but the concept is similar. for example, pressing the application key or shift+f10 instead of right clicking, bla bla bla. also, some websites may not allow to save the PDF, in which case there may be another way to save the PDF such as simply pressing control+s after it has been opened.

I use the jaws-script AppendTextToClipboard to collect the items into the clipboard but when I paste them in excel, the items are pasted each on a defferent row (below each other). They should be pasted next to each other.
The transpose feature from ms excel is not solving the problem.
Any idea if I can force this with jaws, a jaws-script or anothe raccessible program on win10?
Kind regards for any responses.

Hi Richard,
The fact that .Ly is for Lybia doesn't necessarily mean all that much in todays age of URL redirects and all that. I put "What is the www.bit.ly website" and received a lot of search results for the Bitly URL shortening service which uses bit.ly as their domain. Here is the Wikipedia article about Bitly, but I would say it's safe enough to use that link, what prompted me to Google it was the fact that it looked like a shortened URL.

that goes into each cell at a time. I don't think there is a way to copy all of the info you want and paste it in to Excel the way you want, side by side in one shot, if I understand what you're wanting to do. you might need to do some tidying up of what is pasted into the cell, depending on how the info from the website is delineated.
