Re: What happened to Doug Geoffray,
Ron Pelletier
Hi,
Doug wrote a lot more than just Word Talk. He had a series. He had one called Term Talk, a terminal software and also File Talk which was a great database software. I used it for several things on my Apple IIE.
From what I hear, Doug did not stay with VFO. He is with Microsoft as programming manager in the accessibility department working on Microsoft Narrator. With him there, I expect the Narrator will be the equivalent built-in accessibility to Voice-Over for Microsoft. I am hopeful.

Re: using capslock with the desktop layout.
And for the sake of complete clarity, regardless of keyboard layout, my understanding is that the keyboard shortcuts for both layouts are available in either.
The trick being that what those shortcuts are often differs by more than just using a different modifier key (CAPS LOCK versus INSERT), and you have to use the full command with the syntax for the "shortcut style" chosen. What I'm trying to say above is if some command in Desktop layout were to be INS+Y, and in Laptop layout were to be CAPS LOCK+CTRL+L then you can't just substitute CAPS LOCK in place of INS or vice versa for either shortcut. If it is only the modifier key that differs, then you can. I'm sure someone can confirm/refute the above. -- 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: Jaws 2019 and photo copy
No, Jaws can OCR PDF and other image files, but there is no photocopy feature and hopefully there never will be since you need a scanner to scan something and then print it again and all scanners whether stand-alone scanners or all-in-one devices come with software that can do this.

Re: Jaws on different devices

It’s possible and legal to have your authorization of JAWS installed on up to three computers at once. The sticking point is that they tell you that you are not supposed to be using more than one device at the same time, even though you may have keys for three devices.

Re: using capslock with the desktop layout.
Van Lant, Robin
But when I used caps lock in desktop mode, it seemed that the insert key not longer acted as a JAWS key. I want both to be a JAWS key, since it's sometimes easier to hit one over the other for certain commands. That's why I ended up switching to the laptop layout.

Re: Using Waterfox
Mike B. <mike9902@...>
Hi Dave,
Windows has the sticky key mode but, Jaws has Insert key mode
and how to use it is explained below:
Insert Key Mode: Try the following to turn the Insert Key Mode on / off. This only works in the Settings Center Default All Applications. 1. Open the Settings Center in either of these 2 ways. A. Press, Insert / Jaws Key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard. B. Press, Insert / Jaws Key + F2, to open the, Jaws Manager, arrow down, Settings Center, & press enter. With the Settings Center open press, control, shift , + D, to open the Settings Center Default All Applications. 2. Arrow down to, Users, right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Insert Key Mode, to check or uncheck this box. Here's the explanation of this option: When selected, the INSERT key functions as a sticky key. Any key pressed immediately after pressing the INSERT key is treated as if it were pressed in combination with the INSERT key. This check box is cleared by default. Take Care. Mike.
