Office 365 is a subscription service, you can pay monthly or for the entire year which is cheaper. Among some other benefits like 1 Tb of OneDrive storage and getting 60 Skype minutes each month the Office 365 subscription also includes a license to download the full Office suite and install it on up to 5 computers. This of course includes Outlook as well as Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. But you only get to use the full set of Office apps and features as long as you pay your subscription.

Hello My friend told me in her fb message that she have office 365 when I was on the phone with her and Microsoft disability support to download and installed email programs for $6 a month !! Is office 365 is the same thing as outlook?
From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of JM Casey
You probably didn’t get a response back before because your question is pretty hard to understand. Even now the only question I can glean from this is: “Is there outlook or office 365 email ?” Yes. Outlook is the e-mail client in Microsoft office.
If you want your friend to be helped by the list, I think you’ll need to be a bit more specific, or maybe even get her on here to ask the question herself. Does she have outlook? I guess that’d be a good place to start. Is she trying to set up e-mail with an iSP? Gmail? Something else?

No worries :)
Yes, the standard Facebook site has become superb with
accessibility as of late. Even when I was using Facebook a couple
years ago I found it to work really well with screen reading
software, so I'm sure it's only gotten better.

Yes. This is a full windows 10 system so the only limitation is the processor.

Re: best web browser to use with JAWS?
JM Casey
Both Firefox and Chrome should together cover most needs. I find that Firefox has a problem loading pages with a lot of content (even a lot of text) and chrome occasionally hangs or “gets stuck”, but both browsers are pretty good. I’m a little disturbed by Google’s attitude toward privacy and ad-blockers, so even though their browser is fast, I tend to use Firefox more often. There are definitely sites that function better using Chrome though, so you should have both. There in’t a limit to the number of browsers you can have on your computer; I just wish some of the many third party ones (seriously, take a look online sometime, there are literally dozens of web browsers out there) worked a little better with screen-readers. Sadly, work mostly seems to only be done on the major competitors.

I vote for Chrome. When the new Edge comes out, I suspect it will take over, and I’m not sure how much difference between the two a user will notice. I don’t recommend the current Edge, it’s being phased out anyway, and I’ll let others praise Firefox.

Hi all:
Please post your recommendations of what you think is the best web browser to use with the latest version of JAWS. I seem to go back and forth on this and would like to settle down and really learn using what folks think is best.
Thanks.

Hi.

There was a reason I decided not to try Brave, but I now can't recall what it was. Since Vivaldi, as great as it sounds and looks, isn't really as usable as I'd like, I may try this again. The JAWS keystrokes probably don't work because there's been no specific scripts written for the Brave browser. I find that some functionality is lost in waterfox, too, though it generally works pretty well.

Re: best web browser to use with JAWS?

Hi Sharron,
I actually found bookmarks the hardest transition when I first moved from IE to chrome, but now use chrome all the time and almost never use IE any more. One tip I can give regarding bookmarks which I found really helpful with Chrome is there is a key combination to quickly access bookmarks in a list similar to how IE displays them. If you press and hold ALT and then press F (it should say context menu at this stage), then release alt and f, press b (it should say something like bookmarks sub menu), simply press right cursor key and you’re in the list of bookmarks. I realised As I wrote that it actually sounds more complicated than it actually is , but I do find this key stroke a really quick and easy way of accessing bookmarks in chrome. Hope that helps.
Paul

What do you mean as menus being quite as deep as? I’m confused about bookmarks for example in both Firefox and Google Chrome. IE is so simple. I don’t know what I’m missing here. Sharon

I don't think there is one best web browser. The chromium-based ones are okay, although I try to avoid actual google chrome because of its spying. I'd much rather use brave it blocks ads and lets me read things where other browsers just say you have to subscribe or allow ads. I like firefox for the fact that its menus aren't buried quite as deep as chromium-based browsers. Other than the menus they all basically work the same, so there really is no reason to restrict yourself to only using one browser.

I agree with many of the others. I really like Chrome. It's easy to use, is really fast, and, once you get used to the way the settings menu is set up, it's easy to navigate as you can navigate the settings by heading. Hope this helps, Russell

As far as stability, with JAWS is the best with Chrome. Edge still has some issues which make it a less than ideal browser and Firefox has a refresh problem. I find that nowadays NVDA is a lot better on the web than JAWS, so perhaps consider using different screen readers.

Re: best web browser to use with JAWS?

Well, ie and firefox both have menu bars with things divided off into categories, chrome has a menu button where everything is thrown together and you just have to keep arrowing down until you find what you want. Bookmarks in firefox are fairly simple, as long as you put the bookmark in the right place when you save it. Bookmarks are hard enough to get to in chromium-based browsers that I generally don't mess with them; if I found a thing once I'll either find it again or use it enough to remember the address.
