Re: JAWS Update, J2019.1904.60 Download Link + What's New
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
I think it is quite logical to assume that a system with only 4 Gb of RAM (just to use an example of what I consider a “lower” amount of RAM) may be less stabil especially if you have many applications and
browser tabs open.

I'm beginning to wonder if installed RAM might be an issue in many of these crash problems with Windows 10. It seems like that many times when this happens , and
from the complaints filed reporting their total GB of installed RAM, the lower amount of total RAM installed, the more frequently the crashes. Just an observation. Yours and anyone elses thoughts?

I use Outlook and Excel all the time, often have several Google Chrome tabs/windows open plus usually
Sage 50 accounting and my point of sale software and I often go weeks without a Jaws crash. I am not saying I have some issues with Windows 10, I do and they are mostly related to the fact that I can’t read some stuff with the Jaws cursor which I used to be
able to read under Windows 7, but strictly from a stability perspective Windows 10 is amazing and while my 2014 version of Sage 50 does sometimes go down the drain, Jaws, Excel and Outlook crashes are extremely rare.
I guess everybody’s system is different, I do have a high-end laptop at home, but at work all 4 PC’s we use there are mini PC’s, two of them Intel NUC with an I3 and an I5 processor, the other two are HP EliteDesk
800 mini PC’s, one has an I5 and one has an I7 processor. All of them except for the I3 system run very well, the I3 system which has 12 Gb of RAM is a bit sluggish even though it does have an Intel SSD, I certainly would never buy an I3 again..

Yes, I use Office 365. JAWS seems to get fussy most often when I switch between apps or require a sudden response such as when a new e-mail or web page opens.
Dan
I dont seem to have very many issues with that in windows 7 or 10. It may depend on the apps you run.
Do you use MS office alot? Outlook, MS mail or Access?

Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1904.60 (April 2019)
The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS 2019 between the March 2019 update and the April 2019 update.
To download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.
You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software.
Improved Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row
For years, users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to move to specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1 headings,
2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on. However, this type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings equal or lower than the
level you were trying to move by. For example, if you attempted to move to a level 3 heading, but the very next heading was a level 2, JAWS would announce:
"No more headings at level 3 in this section," and would not move past the level 2 heading.
Beginning with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading level on a page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading, the
immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2 heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new section. You can also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when you move into a new section or you can switch
back to the prior behavior which restricted heading navigation to the current section.
To configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6, open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into the
Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option, and then use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively, open Quick
Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the "Heading Navigation" setting.
Support for MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word Documents
You can now use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word documents created using the MathType software from Design Science. To use this feature,
you must do the following:
• Make sure you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along with Microsoft Word from Office 365.
• Install MathType from
Wiris.com
and activate the software as a trial or actual license.
• In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver for Screen Capture" check box is selected.
When you encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the problem and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed
by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the equation in greater detail.
Once the Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an equation like variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you navigate to
the various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW. Pressing
UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if you have a Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or Unified English
Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula will be displayed in Nemeth Braille. Pressing ESC will close the Math Viewer and return to the
document.
See our
MathType Sample Demonstration document
for examples of how JAWS and Fusion can enable students to access math content.
Visit the
Design Science
website for more details about MathType.
Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application Version 8.42 or Higher
In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving
focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are only available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in the Skype for
Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the Skype for Business app.
To answer an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW. To disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN ARROW.
To move focus directly into the Skype window, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y followed by S.
Other Changes
• When performing the monthly updates of JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion, the shortcut keystroke on the Desktop Icon used to launch the application, will no
longer be removed during the update process.
• JAWS now offers localizations for Swedish and Italian when performing a full install.
• In the Amazon Kindle app, JAWS and Fusion now supports reading and navigating inside tables.
• Resolved an issue where you could not use the keyboard to interact with the controls in the Display Options dialog box in the Amazon Kindle app.
• If Track Changes is turned on in a Word document, you can now use INSERT+SHIFT+R to list revisions in footnotes, endnotes, and comments in addition to
the main document. Note that this command only lists revisions in the currently active pane. For example, pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the Document pane
will list revisions in the main document while pressing this keystroke from within a footnote will only list revisions found in footnotes.
• If a word document contained more than 150 revisions, resolved an issue where the number of revisions was not being reported correctly when using INSERT+SHIFT+R.
• The "Document and Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded" option in Settings Center is now enabled by default in PowerPoint. When you start a presentation
and move to the next or previous slide, JAWS automatically begins reading the current slide.
• In Excel, JAWS and Fusion now indicates in both speech and Braille if a cell contains a data type.
• Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+E was not announcing the default button in a Chrome dialog box.
• Addressed a reported issue where the aria-required attribute was not being indicated as expected in Internet Explorer while navigating with the Virtual
Cursor.
• Addressed reported issues where JAWS and Fusion was not consistently reading elements that use the aria-describedby" or title attributes while tabbing
through a page.
• If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to
move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or bottom of the current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end of the table.
• For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a Selector button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is off by default for both
NAV Rockers.
• Added additional information to installer error messages such as when you include an invalid language code when using the /language command line argument.
• You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to display a list of JAWS keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the action
you want to perform and press ENTER.
• The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the Startup Wizard.
• When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) app, JAWS now includes the name and type of the current window on the braille display to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new window opens.
• In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading chat messages as well as removed extra speech that was heard when attempting to join a meeting.
• Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho Doc, Nuance Power PDF, and Nuance Power PDF once these products are released by Nuance.
• Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet.
• Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from Microsoft.
• Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it will no longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default until
a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product Search lookup source has also been removed due to ongoing issues which we are continuing to investigate.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Re: JAWS Update, J2019.1904.60 Download Link + What's New
Hi. I have the same amount of ram, though running JAWS 2018 most of the time. There are times when the disk is being thrashed enormously and the computer slows way down. I do not really think this is linked with JAWS, though,a nd the programmes you have open shouldn’t be too much for your system. What synth are you using? If you are using Vocalizer, try switching to Eloquence and see if it makes a difference. It definitely improved my system’s response time.

I guess everybody’s system is different, I do have a high-end laptop at home, but at work all 4 PC’s we use there are mini PC’s, two of them Intel NUC with an I3 and an I5 processor, the other two are HP EliteDesk 800 mini PC’s, one has an I5 and one has an I7 processor.

Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1904.60 (April 2019)
The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS 2019 between the March 2019 update and the April 2019 update.
To download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.
You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software. Improved Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row For years, users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to move to specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1 headings,
2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on. However, this type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings equal or lower than the
level you were trying to move by. For example, if you attempted to move to a level 3 heading, but the very next heading was a level 2, JAWS would announce:
"No more headings at level 3 in this section," and would not move past the level 2 heading. Beginning with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading level on a page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading, the
immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2 heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new section. You can also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when you move into a new section or you can switch
back to the prior behavior which restricted heading navigation to the current section. To configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6, open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into the
Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option, and then use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively, open Quick
Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the "Heading Navigation" setting. Support for MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word Documents You can now use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word documents created using the MathType software from Design Science. To use this feature,
you must do the following: • Make sure you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along with Microsoft Word from Office 365.
• Install MathType from
Wiris.com
and activate the software as a trial or actual license.
• In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver for Screen Capture" check box is selected. When you encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the problem and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed
by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the equation in greater detail. Once the Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an equation like variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you navigate to
the various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW. Pressing
UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if you have a Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or Unified English
Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula will be displayed in Nemeth Braille. Pressing ESC will close the Math Viewer and return to the
document. See our
MathType Sample Demonstration document
for examples of how JAWS and Fusion can enable students to access math content. Visit the
Design Science
website for more details about MathType. Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application Version 8.42 or Higher In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving
focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are only available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in the Skype for
Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the Skype for Business app. To answer an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW. To disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN ARROW.
To move focus directly into the Skype window, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y followed by S. Other Changes
• When performing the monthly updates of JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion, the shortcut keystroke on the Desktop Icon used to launch the application, will no
longer be removed during the update process.
• JAWS now offers localizations for Swedish and Italian when performing a full install.
• In the Amazon Kindle app, JAWS and Fusion now supports reading and navigating inside tables.
• Resolved an issue where you could not use the keyboard to interact with the controls in the Display Options dialog box in the Amazon Kindle app.
• If Track Changes is turned on in a Word document, you can now use INSERT+SHIFT+R to list revisions in footnotes, endnotes, and comments in addition to
the main document. Note that this command only lists revisions in the currently active pane. For example, pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the Document pane
will list revisions in the main document while pressing this keystroke from within a footnote will only list revisions found in footnotes.
• If a word document contained more than 150 revisions, resolved an issue where the number of revisions was not being reported correctly when using INSERT+SHIFT+R.
• The "Document and Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded" option in Settings Center is now enabled by default in PowerPoint. When you start a presentation
and move to the next or previous slide, JAWS automatically begins reading the current slide.
• In Excel, JAWS and Fusion now indicates in both speech and Braille if a cell contains a data type.
• Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+E was not announcing the default button in a Chrome dialog box.
• Addressed a reported issue where the aria-required attribute was not being indicated as expected in Internet Explorer while navigating with the Virtual
Cursor.
• Addressed reported issues where JAWS and Fusion was not consistently reading elements that use the aria-describedby" or title attributes while tabbing
through a page.
• If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to
move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or bottom of the current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end of the table.
• For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a Selector button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is off by default for both
NAV Rockers.
• Added additional information to installer error messages such as when you include an invalid language code when using the /language command line argument.
• You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to display a list of JAWS keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the action
you want to perform and press ENTER.
• The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the Startup Wizard.
• When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) app, JAWS now includes the name and type of the current window on the braille display to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new window opens.
• In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading chat messages as well as removed extra speech that was heard when attempting to join a meeting.
• Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho Doc, Nuance Power PDF, and Nuance Power PDF once these products are released by Nuance.
• Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet.
• Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from Microsoft.
• Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it will no longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default until
a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product Search lookup source has also been removed due to ongoing issues which we are continuing to investigate. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2 heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new section. You can also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when you move into a new section or you can switch
back to the prior behavior which restricted heading navigation to the current section. To configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6, open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into the
Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option, and then use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively, open Quick
Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the "Heading Navigation" setting. Support for MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word Documents You can now use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word documents created using the MathType software from Design Science. To use this feature,
you must do the following: • Make sure you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along with Microsoft Word from Office 365.
• Install MathType from
Wiris.com
and activate the software as a trial or actual license.
• In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver for Screen Capture" check box is selected. When you encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the problem and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed
by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the equation in greater detail. Once the Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an equation like variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you navigate to
the various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW. Pressing
UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if you have a Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or Unified English
Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula will be displayed in Nemeth Braille. Pressing ESC will close the Math Viewer and return to the
document. See our
MathType Sample Demonstration document
for examples of how JAWS and Fusion can enable students to access math content. Visit the
Design Science
website for more details about MathType. Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application Version 8.42 or Higher In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving

the main document. Note that this command only lists revisions in the currently active pane. For example, pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the Document pane
will list revisions in the main document while pressing this keystroke from within a footnote will only list revisions found in footnotes.
• If a word document contained more than 150 revisions, resolved an issue where the number of revisions was not being reported correctly when using INSERT+SHIFT+R.

through a page.
• If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to
move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or bottom of the current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end of the table.
• For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a Selector button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is off by default for both
NAV Rockers.
• Added additional information to installer error messages such as when you include an invalid language code when using the /language command line argument.
• You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to display a list of JAWS keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the action
you want to perform and press ENTER.
• The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the Startup Wizard.
• When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) app, JAWS now includes the name and type of the current window on the braille display to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new window opens.
• In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading chat messages as well as removed extra speech that was heard when attempting to join a meeting.
• Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho Doc, Nuance Power PDF, and Nuance Power PDF once these products are released by Nuance.
• Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet.
• Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from Microsoft.
• Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it will no longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default until

Re: Searching for accessible VPN services
Hi Sameer,
As well as using individual VPN clients which would need to be accessible with JAWS, it's possible to set up VPN connections manually in Windows. The advantage of this is that you can use any VPN service which makes its settings visible, you aren't restricted to ones with accessible clients and you don't have to worry about the client inadvertently being made inaccessible via an update.
While it's slightly more complicated to set up this way, it's no more complicated than manually configuring an email account.
As for which service to use, I use Hide My Ass though no doubt others will have their own recommendations.
Cheers,
Ed

Re: JAWS Update, J2019.1904.60 Download Link + What's New
Hi Randy,
We haven't ran anything less than 16
GB of RAM on either of our Windows 10 computers but, our Win 10's also use SSD's
and never have any problems. On our Windows 7 computers the lowest
installed RAM is 8 GB on my wife's laptop but, 16 GB on my desktops. Like
I said earlier, when the rare person states all their computer credentials, so
to speak, it seems the Windows 10 computers running less than 8 GB of RAM have
the most problems. I'm not saying this is fact, only something I've
noticed.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

I use Outlook and Excel all
the time, often have several Google Chrome tabs/windows open plus usually
Sage 50 accounting and my point of sale software and I often go weeks
without a Jaws crash. I am not saying I have some issues with Windows 10, I do
and they are mostly related to the fact that I can’t read some stuff with the
Jaws cursor which I used to be able to read under Windows 7, but strictly from
a stability perspective Windows 10 is amazing and while my 2014 version of
Sage 50 does sometimes go down the drain, Jaws, Excel and Outlook crashes are
extremely rare.
I guess everybody’s system
is different, I do have a high-end laptop at home, but at work all 4 PC’s we
use there are mini PC’s, two of them Intel NUC with an I3 and an I5 processor,
the other two are HP EliteDesk 800 mini PC’s, one has an I5 and one has an I7
processor. All of them except for the I3 system run very well, the I3 system
which has 12 Gb of RAM is a bit sluggish even though it does have an Intel
SSD, I certainly would never buy an I3 again..

Sieghard
Yes, most of the time,
while browsing the folders to attach the file on the outlook, the jaws does
not respond quickly.
Yes, I use Office
365. JAWS seems to get fussy most often when I switch between apps or
require a sudden response such as when a new e-mail or web page
opens.

I dont seem to have very many issues with that in windows 7
or 10. It may depend on the apps you run.
Do you use MS office alot?
Outlook, MS mail or Access?

Enhancements in JAWS
2019.1904.60 (April 2019)
The following is a list of improvements made
in JAWS 2019 between the March 2019 update and the April 2019
update.
To
download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.
You must
be logged on as an administrator to install this

Improved
Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row
For
years, users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to move
to specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1
headings,
2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on.
However, this type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings
equal or lower than the
level you were trying to move by. For example,
if you attempted to move to a level 3 heading, but the very next heading
was a level 2, JAWS would announce:
"No more headings at level 3 in
this section," and would not move past the level 2
heading.
Beginning
with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading level on
a page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading,
the
immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that
the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you
attempt to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a
level 2 heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to
announcing the level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new
section. You can also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when
you move into a new section or you can switch
back to the prior
behavior which restricted heading navigation to the current

through a page.
• If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document
and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick
Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to
move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW
to move to the top or bottom of the current column,
CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move
to the beginning or end of the table.
• For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can
now press a Selector button along with the Left or
Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled,
JAWS will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or
paragraph. This setting is off by default for both
NAV Rockers.
• Added additional information to installer error
messages such as when you include an invalid language
code when using the /language command line argument.
• You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop
application to display a list of JAWS keystrokes
specific to Skype. You can then select the action
you want to perform and press ENTER.
• The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has
been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the
Startup Wizard.
• When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation
Foundation) app, JAWS now includes the name and type
of the current window on the braille display to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new
window opens.
• In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading
chat messages as well as removed extra speech that was
heard when attempting to join a meeting.
• Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho
Doc, Nuance Power PDF, and Nuance Power PDF once these
products are released by Nuance.
• Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected
to remote sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software
such as Windows TelNet.
• Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal
Services client from Microsoft.
• Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup
source, it will no longer appear in the Research It
dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default until
a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product
Search lookup source has also been removed due to
ongoing issues which we are continuing to investigate.

Re: JAWS Update, J2019.1904.60 Download Link + What's New
Hi Sieghard,
I'm beginning to wonder if installed
RAM might be an issue in many of these crash problems with Windows 10. It
seems like that many times when this happens , and from the complaints filed
reporting their total GB of installed RAM, the lower amount of total RAM
installed, the more frequently the crashes. Just an observation.
Yours and anyone elses thoughts?
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go

I use Outlook and Excel all
the time, often have several Google Chrome tabs/windows open plus usually
Sage 50 accounting and my point of sale software and I often go weeks
without a Jaws crash. I am not saying I have some issues with Windows 10, I do
and they are mostly related to the fact that I can’t read some stuff with the
Jaws cursor which I used to be able to read under Windows 7, but strictly from a
stability perspective Windows 10 is amazing and while my 2014 version of Sage 50
does sometimes go down the drain, Jaws, Excel and Outlook crashes are extremely
rare.
I guess everybody’s system is
different, I do have a high-end laptop at home, but at work all 4 PC’s we use
there are mini PC’s, two of them Intel NUC with an I3 and an I5 processor, the
other two are HP EliteDesk 800 mini PC’s, one has an I5 and one has an I7
processor. All of them except for the I3 system run very well, the I3 system
which has 12 Gb of RAM is a bit sluggish even though it does have an Intel SSD,
I certainly would never buy an I3 again..

JAWS seems to get fussy most often when I switch between apps or require a
sudden response such as when a new e-mail or web page
opens.

I dont seem to have very many issues with that in windows 7
or 10. It may depend on the apps you run.
Do you use MS office alot? Outlook,

Enhancements in JAWS
2019.1904.60 (April 2019)
The following is a list of improvements made in
JAWS 2019 between the March 2019 update and the April 2019
update.
To download
the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.
You must be logged
on as an administrator to install this software.
Improved
Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row
For years,
users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to move to
specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1
headings,
2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on.
However, this type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings equal
or lower than the
level you were trying to move by. For example, if you
attempted to move to a level 3 heading, but the very next heading was a
level 2, JAWS would announce:
"No more headings at level 3 in this
section," and would not move past the level 2
heading.
Beginning
with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading level on a
page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading,
the
immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that
the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt
to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2
heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the
level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new section. You can
also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when you move into a new
section or you can switch
back to the prior behavior which restricted
heading navigation to the current section.
To
configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6,
open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into
the
Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option,
and then use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively,
open Quick
Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the
"Heading Navigation" setting.
Support for
MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word
Documents
You can now
use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word documents created
using the MathType software from Design Science. To use this feature,
you
must do the following:
• Make sure
you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along with
Microsoft Word from Office 365.
• Install MathType from
Wiris.com
and activate the software as a trial or actual
license.
• In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver
for Screen Capture" check box is selected.
When you
encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the problem
and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR
followed
by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the
equation in greater detail.
Once the
Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an equation like
variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you navigate to
the
various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and
navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW.
Pressing
UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if
you have a Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or
Unified English
Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula
will be displayed in Nemeth Braille. Pressing ESC will close the Math Viewer
and return to the
document.
See our
MathType Sample Demonstration document
for examples of how JAWS
and Fusion can enable students to access math
content.
Visit the
Design Science
website for more details about
MathType.
Easy Access
to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application
Version 8.42 or Higher
In Skype
for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for
answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as
moving
focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are
only available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in
the Skype for
Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the
Skype for Business app.
To answer
an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW. To
disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN
ARROW.
To move focus directly into the Skype window, press
INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y followed by S.
Other
Changes
• When performing the monthly updates of JAWS, ZoomText, and
Fusion, the shortcut keystroke on the Desktop Icon used to launch the
application, will no
longer be removed during the update process.
•
JAWS now offers localizations for Swedish and Italian when performing a full
install.
• In the Amazon Kindle app, JAWS and Fusion now supports reading
and navigating inside tables.
• Resolved an issue where you could not use
the keyboard to interact with the controls in the Display Options dialog box
in the Amazon Kindle app.
• If Track Changes is turned on in a Word
document, you can now use INSERT+SHIFT+R to list revisions in footnotes,
endnotes, and comments in addition to
the main document. Note that this
command only lists revisions in the currently active pane. For example,
pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the Document pane
will list revisions in the
main document while pressing this keystroke from within a footnote will only
list revisions found in footnotes.
• If a word document contained more
than 150 revisions, resolved an issue where the number of revisions was not
being reported correctly when using INSERT+SHIFT+R.
• The "Document and
Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded" option in Settings Center is now
enabled by default in PowerPoint. When you start a presentation
and move
to the next or previous slide, JAWS automatically begins reading the current
slide.
• In Excel, JAWS and Fusion now indicates in both speech and
Braille if a cell contains a data type.
• Resolved an issue where
pressing INSERT+E was not announcing the default button in a Chrome dialog
box.
• Addressed a reported issue where the aria-required attribute was
not being indicated as expected in Internet Explorer while navigating with
the Virtual
Cursor.
• Addressed reported issues where JAWS and Fusion
was not consistently reading elements that use the aria-describedby" or
title attributes while tabbing
through a page.
• If you are inside a
table in a Google Docs document and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate
the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to
move to each cell.
You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or bottom of the
current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of
the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end of the
table.
• For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a
Selector button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle
speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS
will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is
off by default for both
NAV Rockers.
• Added additional information to
installer error messages such as when you include an invalid language code
when using the /language command line argument.
• You can now press
INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to display a list of JAWS
keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the action
you want to
perform and press ENTER.
• The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS"
option has been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the Startup
Wizard.
• When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)
app, JAWS now includes the name and type of the current window on the
braille display to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new

Nuance.
• Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote
sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet.
•
Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from
Microsoft.
• Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it
will no longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by
default until
a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product Search
lookup source has also been removed due to ongoing issues which we are
continuing to investigate.

List Rules
When:
Wednesday, 1 May 2019
12:00am to 1:00am
(GMT-04:00) America/New York
Description:
The following is the current version of the JFW Mailing List policies. These are sent out monthly, and also available from: http://groups.io/g/jfw/wiki/List-Policies **List Policies** 1: Keep it clean. We're a family list, and there are people here who probably don't want to hear everything *exactly* that's running through your head. If you wouldn't see it on TV, it doesn't belong in a post to the list. If you're not sure, email the administration before you post it to the list. Otherwise, you stand to see your posts moderated. 2: Stay on topic. We're a JFW-oriented list. That said, anything related to JFW, its functionality with programs etc is acceptable. If it doesn't have to do with JFW, it doesn't belong on the list. This includes, but isn't limited to, talk of other screen readers such as Window Eyes. 3: Listen to, and respect, the wishes of the admins/moderators. If you're asked by an admin or moderator to drop a subject, or take something to private emails (in the instance of two people carrying on a thread list-wide), please do so. If the subject is changed on a thread by an admin or moderator, it will be explained why in the email sent out with it. Please don't continue replying to the old subject. 4: Don't ask over the list for a position on the list administration. If you'd like to help out, it's of course welcome, but address the request to do so to the admin team, otherwise it'll be ignored. Requests are always welcome, whether help is being looked for or not. When help is needed, a post will be made to the list. The requests already received will be kept in mind. 5: Keep flaming to a minimum. This is not limited to flaming of each other, but goes beyond that, to flaming of products, opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc. Constructive criticism never hurts. Flame wars, especially public ones, both drive people from this list and are unwelcome here. either take the problem to private emails, or report the problem to list administration. 6. Respect the opinions and views of others. This is *very* important in any environment, most especially an online environment where the only gage one has on a person is what that person puts to writing. If you come off as hostile in your posting, whether you intended to or not, people will take it as such. Online, "face value" means just that. People make mistakes, people don't always have access to the same information you do. For that matter, people don't always have the same experience you do. If you know how someone can solve their problem, great. Suggest it to them and/or the list. Do *not* proceed to tell someone, on or off list, that they have no business posting. Repeat offenders of this particular rule will be banned for a week to 30 days, depending on the severity. Serious problems will be banned permanently. As always, if there are problems or questions with regards these policies, don't hesitate to send them off-list to jfw+owner@groups.io James,
List Admin

Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1904.60 (April 2019)
The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS 2019 between the March 2019 update and the April 2019 update.
To download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.
You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software. Improved Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row For years, users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to move to specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1 headings,
2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on. However, this type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings equal or lower than the
level you were trying to move by. For example, if you attempted to move to a level 3 heading, but the very next heading was a level 2, JAWS would announce:
"No more headings at level 3 in this section," and would not move past the level 2 heading. Beginning with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading level on a page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading, the
immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2 heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new section. You can also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when you move into a new section or you can switch
back to the prior behavior which restricted heading navigation to the current section. To configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6, open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into the
Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option, and then use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively, open Quick
Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the "Heading Navigation" setting. Support for MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word Documents You can now use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word documents created using the MathType software from Design Science. To use this feature,
you must do the following: • Make sure you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along with Microsoft Word from Office 365.
• Install MathType from
Wiris.com
and activate the software as a trial or actual license.
• In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver for Screen Capture" check box is selected. When you encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the problem and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed
by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the equation in greater detail. Once the Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an equation like variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you navigate to
the various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW. Pressing
UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if you have a Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or Unified English
Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula will be displayed in Nemeth Braille. Pressing ESC will close the Math Viewer and return to the
document. See our
MathType Sample Demonstration document
for examples of how JAWS and Fusion can enable students to access math content. Visit the
Design Science
website for more details about MathType. Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application Version 8.42 or Higher In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving
focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are only available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in the Skype for
Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the Skype for Business app. To answer an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW. To disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN ARROW.
To move focus directly into the Skype window, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y followed by S. Other Changes
• When performing the monthly updates of JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion, the shortcut keystroke on the Desktop Icon used to launch the application, will no
longer be removed during the update process.
• JAWS now offers localizations for Swedish and Italian when performing a full install.
• In the Amazon Kindle app, JAWS and Fusion now supports reading and navigating inside tables.
• Resolved an issue where you could not use the keyboard to interact with the controls in the Display Options dialog box in the Amazon Kindle app.
• If Track Changes is turned on in a Word document, you can now use INSERT+SHIFT+R to list revisions in footnotes, endnotes, and comments in addition to
the main document. Note that this command only lists revisions in the currently active pane. For example, pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the Document pane
will list revisions in the main document while pressing this keystroke from within a footnote will only list revisions found in footnotes.
• If a word document contained more than 150 revisions, resolved an issue where the number of revisions was not being reported correctly when using INSERT+SHIFT+R.
• The "Document and Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded" option in Settings Center is now enabled by default in PowerPoint. When you start a presentation
and move to the next or previous slide, JAWS automatically begins reading the current slide.
• In Excel, JAWS and Fusion now indicates in both speech and Braille if a cell contains a data type.
• Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+E was not announcing the default button in a Chrome dialog box.
• Addressed a reported issue where the aria-required attribute was not being indicated as expected in Internet Explorer while navigating with the Virtual
Cursor.
• Addressed reported issues where JAWS and Fusion was not consistently reading elements that use the aria-describedby" or title attributes while tabbing
through a page.
• If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to
move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or bottom of the current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end of the table.
• For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a Selector button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is off by default for both
NAV Rockers.
• Added additional information to installer error messages such as when you include an invalid language code when using the /language command line argument.
• You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to display a list of JAWS keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the action
you want to perform and press ENTER.
• The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the Startup Wizard.
• When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) app, JAWS now includes the name and type of the current window on the braille display to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new window opens.
• In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading chat messages as well as removed extra speech that was heard when attempting to join a meeting.
• Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho Doc, Nuance Power PDF, and Nuance Power PDF once these products are released by Nuance.
• Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet.
• Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from Microsoft.
• Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it will no longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default until
a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product Search lookup source has also been removed due to ongoing issues which we are continuing to investigate. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
