Speaking ProblemWith New Windows 10 Computer
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
As some of you may remember, I’m continuing to set up a new Dell Windows 10 computer with Jaws.
The computer has an Intel I7 processor, 16 gigabytes of ram, a 12 gigabyte solid-state drive, and a 1 terabyte mechanical hard drive.
I mention this right from the start, because this computer should have plenty of horse power to work well with Jaws.
I have noticed that, when typing something, after I stop using the computer for 30 seconds or so, I do not get Jaws feedback until I press at least four or five keys. In other words, there’s a considerable delay until Jaws starts speaking again.
I am thinking this is a Jaws issue, but am not totally sure.
I’m currently using Jaws 2018, and plan to upgrade to Jaws 2019 soon, although I’m a bit hesitant to do so right now because of other known problems with Jaws 2019 and MS Word.
Are there some settings I should look at to try to address this issue?
Thanks as always!
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan

Actually, my church uses a software which allows text layout as in a magazine, and the contents are not readable by a screen reader because they are captured as images. The reason for this is to allow the appearance as in a periodical but the text isn't accessible.

Hi John,
I thought the, Recognize
with Jaws, feature came out with Jaws 18 but, it didn't come until
Jaws2018. You could also try using Openbook to extract any text from the
file as well.
With Openbook open the
file, press, Control + P, to open the print dialogue, navigate to, Freedom
Import Printer, and press enter. Wait a little bit for Openbook to get
started and to scan the image. If it finds any text it should read
it.
Take care. Go Rams! Sent from my iBarstool. I type out everything I want to remember. That way instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it was, I spend the time looking for where I saved it!

Hi Mich,
technically, you're correct. However, since a photo could also be a hpotographed copy of a document, it may well be something OCR readable. Regards, Nermin

Hi Bill/all:
I have been following the messages in this thread but find that I do have a question.
My default PDF reader is Adobe acrobat DC. I use this to have the capability to edit PDF forms and other PDF files.
I am completely new to using Adobe acrobat, rather than adobe reader.
When I try to access a PDF document online through Internet explorer, and the PDF displays, I find that all JAWS will do is to say something like “open parent document button.” When I press enter, hoping to access the text with JAWS, all I get is “blank” when I arrow up or down.
Any advice/thoughts please? Perhaps I need to install an extension?

Hi, Tom. Make sure Adobe Reader DC is your default program to open pdf files. This can be done by searching for the word default in the start menu.
From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of T. Civitello
Trouble is there is no mention of adobe reader or Adobe Acrobat in the add on regardless if I select “all” or currently selected” or any other category. Tom
Hi, Tom. Once in Internet Explorer:
1. Press ALT plus T for Tools. 2. Arrow down to Manage AddOns, and press ENTER. 3. Make sure you are displaying all AddOns, it should look like this:
Toolbars and Extensions radio button checked
All add-ons
4. Disable any AddOns which pertain to Adobe.
That’s it.
