As an addendum, I found out tonight that if you run the troubleshoot compatibility settings on the HJ Pad program shortcut, just use the application key  to bring up the troubleshoot compatibility  option and hit enter on use recommended settings this resolves the delay in HJ Pad loading with messages about the program not responding.

Now it is loading like lightning, as fast as Notepad.

Sadly I think the answer to all of your questions is no.

This is why I think FS, given that they appear not to have touch HJPad for over a decade at least should consider releasing its code into public domain where VI community programmers  could possibly transform its usefulness.

Alternatively someone in-house could probably tweak it very quickly so that at least it would be possible to repair the user dictionaries function which over time would greatly assist a more helpful spell checking experience.

Getting Jaws to announce  formatting change when hotkeys are used to apply bold and so on would also make it seem more modern.

I have not contacted FS about this but if there is sufficient support here I may do so.

Hey.

Interesting post. I have known about this programme but never bothered to use it, since I’ve got several word processors and text editors at my disposal already. But your point about the spell-check is well taken. I use Word most of the time if I want to be “professional”, but I’ve stuck with 2016 non-subscription. The spell-check works alright, but it’s not exactly the nicest thing. I believe my spelling is accurate 99% of the time, so it’s not something I use much, but certainly for “pro” writing, I still believe in being cautious.

Can you do anything with the HJ-Pad dictionary at all? What languages does it recognise? Can you import other dictionaries?

Dear List

I think many people forget that for over a decade now there has been a basic word processor provided with Jaws called HJ Pad.

On my system it is located in

C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2020\HJPAD.EXE

This is potentially a very useful utility. However it is unfortunately showing its age and takes a few seconds to load on my machine, normally after windows reporting a not responding message which then disappears.

This utility badly needs updating in other areas also but remains useful.

Whilst  this is by no means a fully fledge Word Processor in the style of Word many Word shortcuts work here. For example control H will bring up the replace dialogue with options for replace all etc. It also provide basic formatting with, if you need it bold, underline italics etc .  You will need  however to use Jaws key plus F to confirm format  information changes.

However I think the most valuable aspect to this little word processing utility lays not in format control but it extremely easy and accessible Spell checking functionality.

I find spellchecking in Word office subscription version increasingly un-intuitive. I can sort of use it but sometimes it appears to inexplicably miss obvious spelling errors. This is probably my user error but I never had problems with spell checking in earlier versions of Word and I do get a little lost amongst the mass of Grammar options Word now provides.

As result I am a little untrusting of Word, , especially for blog posting.

For quick and dirty checking of Blog posts HJPad is an option. The Spell Checker is not  modern, a little limited in vocabulary and any attempt to add a word to a User Dictionary results in an error message.

Nevertheless the Spell Checker is like stepping back in time to the easy early Word  Spell Checking dialogues and for quick blog checking is I think, still a useful free tool for Jaws

Users. I wish FS would devote just a little effort to update this utility as I am sure others would find it really useful with a little tweaking. With a slightly improved dictionary, and the repair of the broken ability to add words to a User dictionary it would really come in useful.

Also a basic script so that Jaws announces bold on  and off as control b and other formatting changes are made would also update this utility mightily.

If FS really cannot devote any time to updating this utility then perhaps they could  make it open source and freeware so that the VIP programming community could take this little product forward  and develop it to the benefit of screen reading users everywhere. It could then rise from obscurity to have a new life to assist many of us.

Well, I'm confused by this post -- David over there already said Hj-Pad
comes with a spell-check. I took his word for it because I don't think I've
even run the thing once.

Hello All,
Its been a long while since Freedom Scientific has provided HJPad and if you
look at it very carefully and compare it with Wordpad, a simple and small
word processor that is bundled with Windows for as long as I can remember,
it is almost identical.
Freedom Scientific provides HJPad more as a notepad and it was not designed
for serious writing.
You could think of it as a way to create a shopping list and print it on a
printer so that when you go shopping with someone that person can refer to
it when helping you find items in the grocery store.
Now, I have heard that there is a spelling dictionary that can be linked to
HJPad but I don't know if it is still available and how well it works or
even how accessible it is.
I personally don't think that Freedom Scientific/Vispero will ever turn this
little program HJPad to the point where you wilol have a spell
checker/dictionary as then, it will cost us more to have the program as they
probably will have to buy a license for the spell checker/dictionary to be
added.

Another option is  of course Jarte which has a spell checker but again I find this less than easy to use with a screenreader, certainly not as easy as HJ Pad or the old style Word.

In the past I have tried Open and Libre Office but now avoid these as, apart from clunky accessibility in many areas they seemed to have an overly major impact on my Windows install and I ended up re-installing Windows to return to a cleaner leaner system.

The advantage of a small exe file like HJPad is that it is not a huge install impacting on general Windows usage and does not try to grab filetypes etc. For itself.

Hi again

I apologize for my late reply.

Now I have tried to install N MAP on my computer. When i after that open "Nmap - Zenmap GUI", I only can find a window with not accessible information for JAWS.

So how do you use N MAP with JAWS, and how can I via the program find IP-adresses etc. on my connected devices?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Anders

I recently assisted a user via JAWS Tandem. While I was using JAWS 2020
I'm fairly certain that she was using an earlier version. I remember
being concerned that the connection would not go through as I do
remember a time when both machines needed to be on the same version but
it actually worked with no issues.
