Hi!

 

I need a recommendation for a good, robust and hopefully accessible printer.  It must be a multi-function printer (print, copy, scan).  It must be able to handle letter and legal size paper.  It must have an automatic document feeder.  It should be able to print on two sides.  About the accessibility, it is OK if that is accomplished via its software interface.  My very excellent, 15 year-old Canon MFC 6550 is nearing its end, sadly.

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Rick,
Try this.
On any jpg file, press Alt space,
Then P. Jaws will say "Picture smart.
Then press F.
Hope this helps.

Hello,

I do not post much but I must state that I do gain a lot of useful information by all participating. I thank you for sharing your knowledge. However, this picture recognition new addition to the latest version of Jaws 2019, I am not able to use this for it simply is not working.

I go to windows explorer and make my way to my photos folder.
I arrow down to a photo
I then hit alt +spacebar and then the f key.
I am sent to the menu bar, files icon where you would choose to close, open etc. a new folder or document.

I ask, what do I need to do to activate this properly?

Thank you all,

Rick

Running latest version of Jaws on a win 10 system. I go to file explorer and hightlight a .jpg file of a receipt. I hit insert space bar followed by the letter p and nothing happens to read the image.
What am I doing wrong?

Well, as I mentioned at first below, F6 does not do it. The alt+v then
h thing works to get me *into* the header/footer pane, but my problem
still remains once there - I cannot get out of it and back into the

So, my question persists: how do you move between the header/footer
pane and the document pane?

F6 should do it. I always use alt-v, then h. It is a carry-over from
before the ribbon. To insert a header is alt+n, then h.

Hi!

I am using JAWS 2019 and MS Word 2016 under Windows 7. In a
particular Word document, I went through the ribbons to create a
footer, and ended-up in that pane. But, I got stuck in it and could
not figure out how to move between it and the main document pane. F6
only moved me around virtual ribbons / status bar / footer pane,
never getting back to the main document pane. So, how do you get
into and out of the footer pane?

Thanks,
Richard

Which is all too true and all too sad.   There are times, not many, but enough, when drag and drop, either literal or emulated through the keyboard, is the only way to accomplish a given task.

Also, given that this is a fundamental function of any GUI OS, and has been part and parcel of every screen reader I've dealt with, the probability that documentation has gotten screwed up is incredibly higher than the probability of such a basic function ever being dropped (and for the reasons I mentioned).

When on battery, your power settings can be set to slow the processor down to save battery life.

Danny and all:

Well, I’ve solved, or at least partially explained my Jaws sluggishness issue.

This morning, when I experienced the issue, I was running my computer on the laptop battery.

At the time, the battery was about half charged.

As soon as I plugged the computer back into the power supply, things returned to normal.

I wouldn’t think running the computer on the battery would make a difference, but, in this instance, it seems to be the case.

It’s rather strange, I know.

I’m using JAWS 18 and Outlook 13; experience similar, if not worse, issues.  Includes Sluggishness, and getting thrown out of Outlook when attempting to  open emails by pressing enter.  Also, this morning, when I’d tab or shift tab, within message, to get to an attachment, JAWS would just go completely silent on me for at least thirty seconds and when returning, had lost focus.kept

I use the email client, not web mail, which, I’m told by  our IT guy, is the reason for my issues.  I prefer to use Outlook email client, the web mail is more difficult to navigate, in my opinion.

Hello, everyone.

I am not sure if this is related to the recent Windows update I just experienced, but I am now finding that Jaws is rather sluggish when arrowing through an e-mail ffolder listview in Outlook.

It used to be that when arrowing through the list, I got an instant response from Jaws as I arrowed up or down through the list view.

Now, there appears to be a ½ to 1 second delay when working through the list view.

I also notice the sluggishness when tabbing through the fields in an individual message.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might have changed, and how I can correct the issue?

I’m using Outlook 2016, Windows 10 version 1809, and the latest build of Jaws 2019.

Thanks as always.
