I have mine set to “no speech”, since I tend to use braille 99% of the time nowadays and hardly use speech at all, but still want to be able to turn it on quickly from time to time. I have found that some scripts, notably, ones for Skype, break this feature. As in, they will turn speech back on, and after this, the toggle will not work at all until a JAWS restart.

Re: activating no speech with jaws 2019
Van Lant, Robin
Yes, I use the speech on demand option to do this exact thing on webinars. It's Insert spacebar then s to toggle speech on and off. Mine says "Speech on demand" when I am essentially muting JAWS and says "Full Speech" when I toggle it back to regular mode.

Re: Seeking recommendations for password managers
Norma,
Sorry about being a bit late to the party.
I really like Keepass for managing my passwords in Windows. I find it is accessible with Fusion 2019 and JAWS. It is also free and you can read about it at the following link:
https://keepass.info/download.html
It's latest version is KeePass 2.43 which can be downloaded with the following link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/keepass/files/KeePass%202.x/2.43/KeePass-2.43-Setup.exe/download
If you use an iPhone or other iOS device, Mini Keepass is the app which works with the Keepass .kdbx database file. You have to transfer the database file to your iOS device either using a Dropbox account or iTunes since Keepass doesn't have a cloud service like 1Password. But it is free.
Here is a How-To Geek article on password managers you might want to read:
The article might be a bit dated and it is not written from an accessibility viewpoint but it does have some good information. Good luck with the selection process.

Re: Question about the yearly payment plan for JAWS
Cristóbal
Indeed. I wonder how much longer Vispero’s going to let us regular SMA users stay grandfathered in. This year’s my last SMA. I fully intend on doing the re-up for the next two jFW cycles for the usual $120. I have to imagine they’ll eventually phase it out.

In other words, you can only use Jaws as long as you maintain your subscription as is the case with any subscription whether it’s for a music service, a movie service, Office 365 etc. The nice thing about the Jaws subscription is that you get access to Jaws for a very affordable annual fee (not sure if you can also pay monthly) and that you are always entitled to use whatever the latest version of Jaws is. The subscription is basically purchase price and SMA all rolled into one annual subscription fee and as we all know this is a model many organisations adopt now, Office 365 is another good example.

Re: Seeking recommendations for password managers

I’ve been using 1Password for a couple of years now and haven’t experienced this issue at all. Also, you mention 1Password 4. I don’t know if there’s a reason why you’re still on such an old version of the product, but I’m currently running the most up to date 1Password Version 7.3.712 on my PCs. They’re usually good and responsive about addressing accessibility bugs brought to their attention too. So other than that, don’t know what else to say.

Re: Seeking recommendations for password managers

1Password 4's access is good up until you want to switch views, say, from passwords to credit cards or any of the other things 1Password can save. In fact, I've had so much trouble getting these other views to stay in focus once I click them with the JAWS Mouse Cursor button, that I am loath to upgrade to the newer cloud-based multi-device version for fear of the same accessibility problem being there in that version as well. Can you tell me--us--how that's done in the newer versions?
