Re: JAWS Becomes Sluggish When Writing Emails in Outlook
Let me know how this works as by doing so you are telling the system to not use the hardware GPU processors in your video card thus transferring the processing load to your CPU... Seems counter intuitive.
Well, after a google search it seems this works for lots of people using outlook, even without any AT programs. Seems like an Outlook bug.
Still interested to hear how it works for you.
Thunderbird is always an alternative to Outlook. I dont have any of the issues I am reading about all the time on the lists.

Sounds like you are getting a heavy CPU load. If it is outlook or some other
program is the question. press start then type msconcfg.exe now go to the
services tab now tab until you hear hide all Microsoft services and check
the box. now shift tab to the list of services and see what all is running.
If you don't recognize it google it and see if you need it. If you see
things like iTunes adobe google or things like that try unchecking them
then click OK. Next open task manager with the ctrl + shift + esc keys. ctrl
+ tab to the startup tab. now do the same thing as you did in services. Now
after you disable all the junk that really doesn't need to load every time
you start your computer it should run much faster. Dont worry if anything
you do stops a program from working you can just re-enable it the same way.
If you cant find the startup tab you may have to click the more details
button to make it show up.

Re: JAWS WITH AN EXTERNAL SOUND CARD
#advisory
There are all kinds of low cost USB sound cards and low priced computer speakers you can connect to them.
May I make a suggestion for something even easier?
I have a Logitech s-150 digital stereo speaker. It is powered from the USB port and also shows up as a sound device. It costs about $25. It's available on Amazon.
The quality for music is not good so I use it just for screen readers like Jaws.
I have another sound card for music. Luckily, the one on my motherboard sounds good enough for music playback through powered studio monitors on my desk.
I set the onboard sound as default. Then I set the Logitech s-150 as output for each screen reader.
This works welt most of the time but occasionally screen readers or Windows gets confused and sends the voice to the main card.
I have a couple of tricks to fix that.
One is disconnect then reconnect the USB speaker.
The other is to restart the screen reader.
Hope this helps.

Introduction
On the face of it, Winamp from
Nullsoft may not seem like a terribly accessible programme. Although the
interface from the keyboard is somewhat unorthodox, you’ll find that Winamp is
in fact one of the most accessible of the fully featured MP3 players. This
article seeks to help you understand what Winamp can do, how to configure it,
and all the keyboard secrets will be revealed.
You can get a brief keyboard
summary of all of the keyboard commands mentioned in this document, and a few
I won’t be covering, by pressing F1 from the Winamp main window. From there,
you can press Control+Tab through the multipage dialogue box until you get to

feature. You can also go to the top of this edit box with the Control+home

Winamp is a fully featured
audio player, supporting most common file formats. If a file format isn’t
supported out of the box, chances are you can get a plug-in that will do the
job.
It has a playlist editor
allowing you to import individual files, entire directories and locations from
the Internet. Files can then be randomised, or sorted by a number of criteria
including song name and file name.
A graphical equaliser allows
you to make major adjustments to the sound of the player. You can choose from
presets, save your own settings, and even specify your own settings on a song
by song basis. The ID3 editor allows you to edit MP3 tag information, which is
a handy way of recording information such as the album, the artist, the year
the song was released and more.
The plug-in architecture of
Winamp means that fantastic add-ins are being released regularly, ranging from
the support of many file formats through to pitch changers and audio
compressors.
Up
Basic
Winamp Operation
When you install Winamp, you
are asked if you want it to be your default audio player. If you answer yes to
this question, Winamp will be launched from Windows Explorer or Internet
Explorer when a file that Winamp supports is encountered. The file will start
playing automatically.
You can also launch Winamp by
going to the Start menu, choosing programmes, then
Winamp.
When in Winamp, the following
commands can be used for playback. Note that some of the keypad commands
listed here may conflict with your screenreader. You will need to change your
screenreader’s key settings or use its bypass key if you wish to use the
keypad in Winamp.
- X
or Keypad 5 will play the current file. If Winamp is paused, this command
will resume playing from where you paused. If no file is loaded into Winamp,
you’ll be prompted for a file name.
- The
V key stops playing. If you hold down the Shift key, Winamp fades out the
currently playing song and then stops.
- B
or keypad 6 skips to the next track. You can do this either when Winamp is
playing or when it is stopped. If you are playing a file when you press this
key, the next song in the queue will start playing immediately. If you press
the key when Winamp is stopped, the song you have now selected will show in
the window title with the word “stopped” beside it.
- Z
or Keypad 4 skips back to the previous track. The same rules apply as for
next track discussed above.
- Keypad
1 will jump ten songs back in the playlist.
- Keypad
3 jumps ten songs forward.
- Left-arrow
or keypad 7 rewinds by 5 seconds.
- Right-arrow
or keypad 9 fastforwards by 5 seconds.
- L
or keypad 0 brings up the open file dialogue. Here, you can specify the name
of a file provided Winamp supports the file format. You can also specify a
playlist with a .m3u or .pls extension.
- Control+L
or Control+keypad 0 lets you specify a file on the Internet. You will need
the full URL of the file or playlist.
- Shift+L
or the insert key lets you specify a directory to play. All files in that
directory with file formats that Winamp supports will be
played.
- Keypad
8 or up-arrow increases the volume.
- Keypad
2 or down-arrow turns the volume down.
Up
Configuring
Winamp
Winamp is highly configurable.
This section seeks to help you understand how to navigate Winamp’s
Preferences.
To enter the preferences, press
Control+P. Winamp will present you with a treeview. As in any treeview, you
use the right-arrow key to eXPand a branch of the tree, the left-arrow to
close a branch, and the down-arrow to navigate through items in the tree. Once
you’ve selected a section, you can use the tab and Shift+Tab keys to navigate
through the various elements.
When you get to the section for
selecting and configuring plug-ins, it is important to understand that after
you have selected the plug-in with the arrow keys, there is often a configure
button which allows you to fine-tune the settings for that particular plug-in.
Normally, you need to press the tab key to find the configure button. Pressing
the space bar will bring up the configuration dialogue box for that
plug-in.
Up
The
Playlist Editor
The Playlist Editor is one of
Winamp’s less accessible features, but there is more that you can do with the
keyboard than many people think. The major difficulty is that with most
screenreaders, using the arrow keys in Winamp 2.x will not give you reliable
information about the song that you’ve selected. I have heard that some
Windoweyes users have got it to work to some degree thanks to some clever set
file manipulation, but I never have.
Anyway, let’s take a look at
what you can do with the keyboard. Firstly, you will want to get into the
Playlist Editor. If the Playlist Editor window isn’t open yet, you will need
to open it by pressing Control+E. Incidentally, once Windows such as the
Playlist Editor are open, you can cycle through all open Windows with the
Control+Tab combination.
- The
R key toggles the repeat function. I have always had difficulty determining
the status of the repeat function from the Playlist Editor window itself,
but you can also toggle the repeat function from the main Winamp Menu, which
can be accessed from the main Winamp window with Alt+F, and then choosing
playback options. Here, your screenreader should have no trouble telling you
whether repeat is checked or not.
- The
S key toggles whether shuffle is on or off. The same applies here as for the
repeat function.
- L
or keypad 0 adds a file to the playlist.
- Control+L
or Control+keypad 0 adds an Internet location to the
playlist.
- Shift+L
or the insert key adds a directory to the playlist.
- Control+N
clears the playlist and lets you start from scratch.
- Control+O
lets you open a playlist you might previously have saved to
disk.
- Control+S
saves the playlist you’ve been working on. You have a number of formats from
which you can choose once you open the save dialogue. .m3u is probably the
best in most cases, because the playlist is saved as a standard text file
with one file per line. This makes it easy to edit your playlist with a text
editor given that Winamp’s editing features are not screenreader
friendly.
- Alt+3
views the track information for the selected track or
tracks.
- Control+E
lets you edit the names of the selected track or tracks, but keep in mind
that with screenreaders, it’s quite difficult to determine exactly what is
selected.
- Control+A
selects the entire playlist.
- Control+I
inverts the selection, in other words what was selected becomes unselected
and vice versa.
- The
delete key removes selected files from the playlist.
- Control+delete
crops the playlist.
- Control+Shift+delete
clears the playlist.
- Alt+down-arrow
moves selected files down.
- Alt+up-arrow
moves selected files up.
- The
down and up-arrow keys move the cursor down and up respectively, but as has
been discussed, you are unlikely to get reliable feedback from your
screenreader because of the custom window type Winamp is
using.
- The
ENTER key plays the selected file.
- The
home and end keys jump to the start and end of the playlist
respectively.
- Page
up and page down move up and down by a fifth of a page.
- Alt+delete
removes all non-existent files from a playlist.
- Control+Shift+1
sorts the playlist by title.
- Control+Shift+2
sorts the playlist by file name.
- Control+Shift+3
sorts the playlist by file path and name.
- Control+R
reverses the order of the playlist.
- Control+Shift+R
randomises the playlist.
Also, all playback Controls are
available as they are in the main window.
Up
Graphical
Equaliser
Although I have not heard of
anyone being able to set up their screenreader to tell them the percentage of
each band of the equaliser in Winamp 2.x, you can make changes via the
keyboard and listen to the results to see how you like it. Also, Control+s
brings up a list of over 20 presets that you can choose
from.
First though, you will need to
open the graphical equaliser if it is not open already. You can do this with
the Alt+G combination.
- The
1 and 0 keys increase their respective band of the ten band equaliser. 1 is
the lowest band IE base, 0 is the highest band, IE treble. The row
underneath decreases each band, from the q to the P keys. So 1 and Q turns
the lowest band up and down respectively, 0 and P turns the highest band up
and down respectively.
- Similarly,
the tilde and tab keys turn the pre-amp up and down
respectively.
- The
N key toggles the equaliser on and off, so if it doesn’t sound like what you
are doing with the number and qwerty rows is having any effect, try pressing
the N key to turn the equaliser on.
- S
opens the presets menu.
The A key toggles auto-loading
of the equaliser.
Up
Conclusion
I hope that this gets you
started. Feel free to drop me a note with any questions, ask on the PC-Audio
list, and visit the Winamp Documentation.

Introduction
On the face of it, Winamp from
Nullsoft may not seem like a terribly accessible programme. Although the
interface from the keyboard is somewhat unorthodox, you’ll find that Winamp is
in fact one of the most accessible of the fully featured MP3 players. This
article seeks to help you understand what Winamp can do, how to configure it,
and all the keyboard secrets will be revealed.
You can get a brief keyboard
summary of all of the keyboard commands mentioned in this document, and a few I

can press Control+Tab through the multipage dialogue box until you get to the

edit box, this will give that read-only edit box focus, which means that you can
then read the summary with your screenreader’s continuous reading feature. You

Are you not running Jaws from the system tray? If doing an insert/jaws key
plus J doesn't put you in to the Jaws options, that is telling you that all
you need to do is put Jaws in to the system tray. Then, insert/Jaws F4
will work the way you want it to.
If you can alt tab to the Jaws options menu, then go in to basics and tab to
run Jaws in the system tray and check that check box.

Yes, I have already tested this one and it works as expected. I just wanted
Insert+F4 command to somehow work, but no success so far.

Hi Surendra,
When you alt tab to the JAWS screen/application, try alt F4 and see if
you get the shut down command.

Subject: Unable to quit JAWS using Insert+F4
Hi all,
I hope this Email finds you all in good spirit.
My friend has recently purchased a laptop equipped with Windows10.
Since he is not that tech savvy, he wanted me to install his prefered
apps and do all the necessary settings according to his liking. I
installed JAWS and NVDA successfully; however, I was unable to perform
the Insert+F4 command to quit JAWS by any means, even when setting
keyboard layout to laptop. As I hit Caps lock+F4, JAWS speaks
"Windows+P" and opens a projection listbox with 4 options like,
"Computer only," "Extend" etc. I tried the same via an external USB
keyboard, but to no avail. Besides, Application key for bringing up a
context menu is non-functional, I can easily launch the same with
Shift+F10 though. Now, it really makes me wonder why such a strange is
happening. Your tips and tricks will be highly appreciated.
