Mike:

When I get to properties for the realtech sound card, and control tab through the various options, I only get general, level, advanced, and spatial sound.

I thought the enhancements option might be in advanced settings, but it apparently is not.

Once again, I’m using Windows 10 version 1809 on this Dell laptop.

Tom Behler

Hello.

I have not yet found out how to turn off all sound enhancements, but will keep looking.

If anyone has suggestions as to where to find this option under sound card settings, please let me know.

try checking your sound card settings. most windows versions have an option to turn off all sound enhancements. this will improve speech clarity. but this will also remove a lot of base when playing music.

Hello, everyone.



I just did a Dell update to my Windows 10 laptop, and now my Jaws speech sounds
rather tinny and is very distorted.



Lowering the system volume does not lessen the distortion.



Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?



I’m using the latest build of Jaws 2019 here.

Hi Rick,

Try this:

1.            Press Alt R then t followed by d.

2.            Use the up/down arrow keys to find the ‘All markup’ option, then press enter or escape.

3.            You should then be back in the main document.

4.            Press Shift, Control and Apostrophe simultaneously and use your up/down arrows to read the comments. Pressing escape or tabbing to ‘Ok’ should put the focus on where the comment is but you may have to go up and down with the arrow keys to get Jaws to read both the text and comment.

This link has some good info on using screen readers to access comments.

Scripts for Sage or for Quick books???

like to switch, but I own a retail business and after my bookkeeper

accounting software for customers and to keep track of individual
sales and inventory, my point of sale system does that,

but I still have to enter a lot of supplier invoices and

process payments either by printing cheques or recording credit card
or email money transfer payments and two or three times a week I
enter the sales into the accounting system

using a so-called zReport which my point of sale system

[prpoduces and which gives me a summary of sales, returns, layaway
and on account payments, the amounts of what was received by Visa,
Mastercard, Debit Card, American Express, Cash,

Cheque, gift certificates and all that. In any case, Ted

suggested I could use the iOS app which is very accessible, but in
some cases there is a bit of typing involved when I enter the
ddetails of invoices for products we receive and we

all know how efficient typing on an iOS device is compared to

typing on a PC with a keyboard. All in all for me Sage 50 currently
still is the better and more efficient solution although I have few
doubts I will switch to Quickbooks at

some point in the next year or two.

To me it is very accessible, but I know Sage 50 like the back

of my hand because I have been using it and its previous version,
Simply Accounting, for well over 20 years.

There are things you have to do with the Jaws cursor,

sometimes the touch cursor and under Windows 10 you are generally
better off not to use the traditional accessibility display driver
which is still the default. The new so-called

$B!H(BGDI Hooking$B!I(B method reads more in Sage, for

example, if I lookup a transaction I entered in the purchases
journal or bring up a trial balance or vendor aged report then I can
read this information with the Jaws cursor if I don$B!G(Bt use the

accessibility display driver, if I use it the Jaws cursor

only reads blank. You can of course get around this as well by
bringing up the report and then press Alt + F followed by
$B!H(BO$B!I(B which is the command to $B!H(BOpen in Excel$B!I(B. It
will ask

you to save the file, but once you do Excel opens and loads

whichever report you have on the screen. If I have to really do a
lot of detailed checking of data and maybe search for something this
is my preferred method.

Also, the main screen of Sage does not read at all, this is

where you select if you want to use the General Journal, Bank
Reconciliation, the Purchases or Payments modules/journals etc. I
know that if I open Sage I have to tab 5 times

for the general journal, 6 times for bank reconciliation, 7

times for the Suppliers list, 8 times for purchases and 9 times for
payments.

Somebody who wasn$B!G(Bt as familiar with the program and who

tried to use it for the first time would probably be very frustrated
and conclude that it is largely inaccessible.

I haven$B!G(Bt upgraded because I was sick and tired of

paying them hundreds of Dollars every year for their so-called
support which I never use and to get a new version which essentially
was no different than the previous one. I also used to

use their payroll module and during that time I had no choice

because my annual payment also included the updates to the tax
tables for Canada and so on. But for some years now I use a payroll
service called Payworks where all we have to

do is log in and enter each employees hours and they do the

rest. A few days later (I do payroll every 2 weeks) the wages are
auto-deposited into each employees bank account, Payworks does the
monthly payments to the government for

employment insurance, Canada Pension Plan and the income tax

deductions and if an employee quits they file the Record of
Employment and all that. I am a member of the Canadian Federation
for Independent Business and as such I get a

pretty big discount for this service, it only costs I think

$11.95 per pay period (26 per year) and 99 Cents per employee for
the auto deposit etc.

If you need a comprehensive accounting solution and are not

invested in one yet I would absolutely recommend Quickbooks. They
have an accessibility department and have done a lot to make their
online solution which works via a monthly

subscription accessible. If you want to use their desktop

version you do have to pay for scripts which some company developed.
Intuit also sponsors Aira so if you use their software or service
you can call Aira for free to get help with

anything. The person you want to contact about accessibility is Ted Drake:

I use Outlook and Excel all the time, often have several

can$B!G(Bt read some stuff with the Jaws

strictly from a stability perspective Windows 10 is amazing and

Jaws, Excel and Outlook crashes are extremely

rare.

Hello,

 

I am learning to work with pivot-tables in excel.

I think I know how to start:

From a data-sheed, I chose insert pivot-table , select the areas with data and I placet he new table with a summary in a new sheed.

However, this area is empty.

 

So, I don’t know if this should be accessible with jaws2019 in excel 2013?

Any hints from jaws how to work on a accessible way with pivot tables should be great.

Kind regards,

William Windels

Have you tried going to device manager and uninstalling the sound card

Hi, Tom. It sounds as if you may be using digital output rather than analog
output. Sometimes, depending upon which jacks you are using, you may lose
sound when turning off spacial effects when using digital output.

I wonder why that might happen? My computer names both soundcards.

it won't show the name of the card. it says something like digital speakers
and
default for the one that is being used. then click on properties.

Hi Tom,

Try the following:
1. Open the Control Panel, go to the Sounds link and press enter.
2. Control + Tab to Playback devices and select the Realtech soundcard.
3. Tab to, Properties, and press the spacebar and Control + Tab to the
Enhancements page / tab. Here's where you'll find what you're looking for.

Hello.

I have not yet found out how to turn off all sound enhancements, but will
keep
looking.

If anyone has suggestions as to where to find this option under sound card
settings, please let me know.

try checking your sound card settings. most windows versions have an option
to
turn off all sound enhancements. this will improve speech clarity. but this
will also remove a lot of base when playing music.

Hello, everyone.



I just did a Dell update to my Windows 10 laptop, and now my Jaws speech
sounds
rather tinny and is very distorted.



Lowering the system volume does not lessen the distortion.



Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?



I’m using the latest build of Jaws 2019 here.
