I have had great luck over the years both personally and professionally with the Duxbury Braille translation software.

 

I currently am using DBT version 12.3SR1.

 

There may be newer updates out there, but this does quite well for me at this time.

If it has been scanned, then it is already in a format like DOCX or Open
Book format or something similar.
For that, you should use that software to convert to plain text.
You can then likely use this software to convert it to BRF for use on a
notetaker or Braille display.

As I understand it placemarkers are browser specific so yes you have to add placemarkers  for each browser you use.

I think placemarkers on a page are disturbed if there is dynamic content on a page – have you tried checking the option “Anchor to text”.

Subject: clarification on setting place markers on websites

 

Using JAWS 2019.  Like many of you, I jump between a couple different browsers depending on what I’m doing.  Here at work, I have a couple internal company sites that are cluttered, so I’m setting place markers to get to pertinent parts of the screen.   I’d like to clarify my understanding, since I’m still new to doing this with JAWS. 

 

For one page, I added a place marker at a line of text above a bunch of buttons I use.  I think I set this PlaceMarkers while using IE 11.  If I open the page in Chrome and hit K, it takes me to a different spot on the page.   In the second case, I set a place marker  at the top of the main section of a page where the company posts news stories.  The K key works as expected in IE 11, but JAWS says there are no place markers when I open the page in Chrome. 

 

Questions:

Are place markers specific to the browser or to the URL?  In other words, should I be able to set a place marker and have it work on any browser I open the page in?

Second, if the above is true, what could I do differently in my first example where the place marker takes me to the right spot in IE 11, but to a spot earlier on the page in Chrome.  For context, this page is set up with a top navigation bar, a left nav, then two columns of information in the middle.  My place marker is supposed to go to the top of the right column and, within Chrome, takes me to a point near the bottom of the left column, about 2 inches visually below and 1 inch visually left of where I intended the place marker.   There  are a number of settings in that place marker dialog, so I must have done it incorrectly.  I think in Window Eyes I would select the text on the screen, then set the place marker.  At least with one of these above, I think I put the cursor just before the line of text when I set the marker, but it labeled the place marker with the full line of text, so I figured I had done it right.

You need to anchor your text to your place marker, so that it goes to the same place each time.  As for JAWS place markers working in other browsers other than IE, I've not tried to check this out.

https://od.lk/d/N18xNjQyNDQ5Mjdf/Win10PE_x86.ISO
It is a version of windows that loads into RAM and you can even remove the

With this you can do repairs or install Windows, get on-line and even

to audio.
It also has a network scanner in this version to help you get on-line.
You just cannot install to it because it will be gone on next boot-up.

Yes, no password can be bypassed by taking out a small piece.
I still would like to know about Windows passwords and if they can really
be
discovered as easily as Glen and some others here say they can.
As for Apple, what was said is correct. This case was when those two
people
shot and killed a bunch of people during this Christmas party I think in
California and I think it was now 2 years ago or maybe even 3.
Apple said they can't get into the iPhone which, by the way, was not as
secure as today's iPhones are, and I think the FBI hired some Israeli
company who tried to get in, millions were spent and I honestly can't
remember if they succeeded or not.
As for the Face Id thing and a thief pointing it at you that is only
correct
to some degree. If somebody snatched your iPhone and stuck around all you
would have to do is cover your Face with your hands if you are worried.
At
the same time if a thief stuck around they could just as easily grab your
hand and put your finger on the Touch Id home button or, even better, ask
you for the passcode. If somebody is that callus I doubt a lot of people
would keep their passcode to themselves after a few slaps or punches or
being shoved to the ground and kicked a few times which some such thieves
probably have few scruples to do.
The fact is that even if he can unlock your phone once with Face Id, he
has
to make sure it doesn't lock and having unlocked it with Face Id or Touch
Id
won't do them any good if they want to reset the phone to sell it or even
if
they want to get into it and disable or change the Face Id/Touch Id/PIN
option. As soon as you go to Settings > Passcode you have to enter you
passcode. Apple security is indeed very good, even if your phone was
stolen

Moderated clarification on setting place markers on websites

Van Lant, Robin
 

Using JAWS 2019.  Like many of you, I jump between a couple different browsers depending on what I’m doing.  Here at work, I have a couple internal company sites that are cluttered, so I’m setting place markers to get to pertinent parts of the screen.   I’d like to clarify my understanding, since I’m still new to doing this with JAWS. 

 

For one page, I added a place marker at a line of text above a bunch of buttons I use.  I think I set this PlaceMarkers while using IE 11.  If I open the page in Chrome and hit K, it takes me to a different spot on the page.   In the second case, I set a place marker  at the top of the main section of a page where the company posts news stories.  The K key works as expected in IE 11, but JAWS says there are no place markers when I open the page in Chrome. 

 

Questions:

Are place markers specific to the browser or to the URL?  In other words, should I be able to set a place marker and have it work on any browser I open the page in?

Second, if the above is true, what could I do differently in my first example where the place marker takes me to the right spot in IE 11, but to a spot earlier on the page in Chrome.  For context, this page is set up with a top navigation bar, a left nav, then two columns of information in the middle.  My place marker is supposed to go to the top of the right column and, within Chrome, takes me to a point near the bottom of the left column, about 2 inches visually below and 1 inch visually left of where I intended the place marker.   There  are a number of settings in that place marker dialog, so I must have done it incorrectly.  I think in Window Eyes I would select the text on the screen, then set the place marker.  At least with one of these above, I think I put the cursor just before the line of text when I set the marker, but it labeled the place marker with the full line of text, so I figured I had done it right.

Moderated Re: Edge? Resource for Jaws Accessible Programs

Van Lant, Robin
 

I found a couple statements on Cisco's accessibility site that told me what you said for Jabber 12.5. I went back to Cisco Accessibility and was told that this is old news and they are working on the scripts for Jabber 12.6. I guess I can question the knowledge of this particular accessibility help desk person at Cisco, but I'm inclined to believe her. One of the other people who answer help desk inquiries is a JAWS user; I can double check with him on his current configuration.

Cisco Jabber no longer uses any JAWS scripts. If you are using JAWS 2018 or above, I've found it to be usable. It isn't perfect however.

As to where we could house this information this has not had any consensus on this list yet. I am happy to receive suggestions.
Ideally FS should host this but I don't know if anybody has a lead in to them to grab proper attention and interest..
Some suggested the list Wiki page but some opposition to this was also made.
Off my own bat I have asked the British Technology Assistance for VIP organisation if it would be possible for them to host this sort of information .
If they do agree it is likely they will want it to be a more generic Screenreader accessible page to include NVDA only users and possible notes where Jaws scripts are needed or use of the Jaws cursor. Apparently they will discuss my request at a Board Meeting tomorrow.
I think as long as we can all freely access the information it does not really matter where the information is located - we just need to get it out there.

Just a note that Cisco Jabber access depends on the version. I mistakenly upgraded to 12.6 recently and the JAWS scripts for it aren't ready, so it's challenging to say the least. I'd add a note to be sure to check the Cisco Accessibility team recommendation for Jabber versions before installing.
They also said JAWS 2019 wasn't working as well with it as JAWS 2018 and JAWS 2020. I'm about to upgrade to JAWS 2020, so I'll see what happens.

I'm late to jumping onto this thread, so missed where this list might be housed and who will maintain it. I appreciated the GW Micro maintained such a list on their site for Window Eyes, but not sure we'd get buy in from
Freedom Scientific. It could be helpful to start including software used
at companies. For example, I'm using a web-based timekeeping system from Kronos. They say it's accessible with NVDA and Firefox, neither of which I have on this computer. The supposedly accessible list view layout is still really crummy to navigate to add vacation time. I'm really glad I don’t have to enter hourly time, which I imagine would be beastly to do.

Workday is trying to be accessible and will probably vary based on each company's implementation. I still cannot figure out how to access the
lookup feature they use instead of regular drop-downs. At least they
combined the accessibility into the main version, rather than us having to go to a special accessible version, which definitely posed issues where a company had customized things.

OK - It seems to be the case that Edge should stay in, especially as it is apparently set to improve.
Perhaps some qualifying comments need to be inserted along the lines of "Further accessibility improvements anticipated in the next Windows Release".
Would that suffice?

For info and reference here is the Master list again as it stands today.
Note - I have not included any security software as my last experience of MalWareBytes and ESET is that they have degenerated to terrible accessibility so if anybody has any idea of accessible third party security and anti-virus it would be interesting. I am currently just sticking with Windows Default with high level of User Access protection.

As I say this list is not in proper prioritised categorised order yet but a start.

I do use Edge from time to time. However, I can't stand it with FaceBook.
All other browsers read options such as react, full story, all edge reads is more options and that it reads it letter by letter. Click on that, gets you nothing.

In relation to Edge I would like to invite other comments. I don't
routinely use Edge myself but left it in for the time being for two
reason.
1. FS claim that they support Edge - I am not sure if the Edge support
settings still exists in Jaws or whether these are default now.
2. Edge is not being abandoned. Reports from the Windows Insider is that
the next Chromium based Edge Browser is actually apparently working
really well with screenreaders including jaws.

If there is wider support for excluding Edge I will go with the
consensus and remove it for now but it seems it will have to be
introduced with the next release of Windows anyway.

Subject: Resource for Jaws Accessible Programs I do think we should
start simple rather than get bogged down. But I also think that
over time we could develop something more useful.
For example I don't agree that the list should or must get too long
provided we develop the right presentation.
In this case it should be very easy right from the start to devise
categories of app with simple headings.
For example
Office Productivity
Email and Messaging.
Audio and Video Tools
File Management and Compression
Media Players
Microsoft Store Apps
Inbuilt Windows apps
Games
and so on an so on.
We could hopefully agree as a group on this list what the most
logical categories are.
There would then be relatively few programs and apps in each category
and people could jump to the category they are most interested in by
a press of the H key.

Eventually a short description and information on how to obtain the app
would in my view also be good including a download link if possible.

In terms of reliability/authenticity / validity of app suggestions I
would not take too heavy a hand. Perhaps this could be best managed
in the future by an option to post comments which could query the
suitability of an app posting and any possible problems with using it.

For the present, before we find out how to develop a formal web page
comment facility , we could immediately instead simply use our
existing email list here to discuss whether an app is really
suitable for the accessible program resource list.

People who disagree that an app is accessible could express their
concerns here and other defend / explain how they manage to use the app.
Hopefully a consensus could then be reached with possibly some
clarifying access strategies included in the app/program description.
In the unlikely event such an initiative is abused I guess we need to
agree someone to have responsibility for removing app suggestions to
the program list. but I would anticipate that this would be rarely if
ever needed and instead a light touch rather than a heavy handed
approach would hopefully suffice. We are hopefully all grown up.
This is all down the line though and I hope negative worries do not
bog us down. We need just a simple platform to host a list in the
first place I think, and work from there.
I am sure many would find it immediately useful even in this stripped
down initial presentation of a categorised list.
I am happy to help with some legwork but I think it should be a
group initiative really plus my web page skills are presently
restricted to just running a Word Press blog.

if this list is going to continue, at some point, the list is going

I thought a wiki is a webpage where members can contribute to a

add something that is inaccurate, not up to date, or misleading. so,
that creates the question, is someone going to be in charge of

I disagree it should be connected to a wiki page. I was participating
in a group discussion (a few years ago) and we decided to create a

I followed my own advice and reproduce the list of programs on my
system that I have used at least once or twice with Jaws can think
is accessible. Some programs I have used more than others. I have
used MP3Direct cut hundreds of times but Audacity less so if people
want any clarification of the programs I use then the amount of
feedback I will be able to give will vary.

By the way in creating the application folder tip I gave earlier I
forgot to remember that you get more joy arrowing rightwards rather
than with the down arrow in reading what all your installed apps are.

Anyway here we go as a start list.

*Subject: *Resource for Jaws Accessible Programs

I changed the subject line to reflect the new discussion.

As a starting point on this list it would be useful if people could
list the programs they know work well on their system with Jaws.

I can offer one tip to make it easier to establish which app people
have on their system. Someone might have a better idea.

If you type or copy and paste the following command into the windows
R run dialogue,

shell:AppsFolder command

and press enter

This will open a list view with all the apps you have on your system.

You can simply arrow down to review then all.

Here you can press enter to run the app or perhaps more usefully use
the context key to create a shortcut .

For our purposes here you simply have to cursor down the list of aps,
after about 10 apps open the Jaws speech history with insert space ,
then H and you should see the list of apps you have arrowed down in
a form that you can copy and paste into a notepad file by pressing
control a and then control c.

Alt tab back to your apps folder and continue cursoring down for
about
10 app, open speech history history again and copy the resulting apps
into your notepad file.

Continue until you have a file list of all the apps on your system.

As I say someone else might have a more elegant solution.

In any case edit the Notepad file to delete all the apps you know
don’t work with Jaws.

Also you should probably delete any app that you don’t know if they
work with Jaws or if you don’t want anybody else to know you have
this app on your system.

I’ll try and do this as a starter list and others can then add or
criticise the resulting list I have.

Yes David, even I was delighted to find that JAWS works on this as it
didn’t work on other apps I tried.

As for having a resource which could provide us with the list of JAWS
accessible program, I think it will be immensely useful. Perhaps we
can put the programs/Apps names in an excel and share it. May be we
can give it versions so if any one wishes to add any list of programs
or apps names, they can add these to the existing list and save it to
the next version and share it in this group.

Perhaps it would work at least for the interim untill such a resource
is available through Vispero.

Thanks

Very glad it worked– I did see this option on the Microsoft Store but
I was not sure you would be able to use it. I am especially pleased
it is accessible with Jaws. Not all apps are though I think the
situation is improving.

We need an Apple Vis type website with category lists of programs and
Microsoft Store Apps Which are confirmed to work with Jaws.

There is something called NVDA Road tested Programs on Accessibility
Net which is pretty much guaranteed to provide options for Jaws as
well but somethings are accessible with Jaws and not NVDA and vice versa.

There used to be a Programs page on the old Jaws User Mailing list
website but this seems defunct now and will not load here. Tom
Lorimore’s White Stick website will not be update given his recent
sad death. I don’t know if anybody else knows of a similar resource?

VFO Should really host this for the community I guess but if anybody
has a web page that could be used I would be happy to provide some
program suggestions and comments.

Good Idea David, I tried a world clock app on the Microsoft store and
it is accessible with JAWS and it groups different time zones
although I have to navigate few times to reach it. Good part is that
I can add more

As a workaround have you tried separate World Clock applications or
Website?

For example

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__greenwichmeantim
e.com_timepiece_world-2Dclock_&d=DwIDaQ&c=RoP1YumCXCgaWHvlZYR8PZh8Bv7

Wamp_RddaaGvzArBt66gRQNT37YbSkZKlMjH8sE&s=CwDdMOSvnMTl0gsXo-418LjiIpt
63VYgSr9NF-zBafE&e=

Once you have set a website like this up to your desired time zone
you can set it up as a shortcut on your desktop or even, with a bit
of further fiddling and editing of the shortcut, put it on the
windows 10 Taskbar. Let me know if you want instructions on this.

In terms of apps rather than websites I think you will need to search
for World Clock apps rather than clock apps as normal clock
applications will just provide the standard feedback from the system
time.

You probably cannot do it with the JAWS F12 keystroke to check time,
but if both clocks appear on your System tray in the bottom right of
your screen, then you can try using Windows key B to get to the
system tray, then arrowing left or right to hear the clocks. I
usually find focus is at the far left of the icons in the system
tray, so it is fastest to arrow left and focus will quickly circle
around to the far right of the icons where the standard system clock is.

Moderated Re: A Strange Jaws Cursor Problem

Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
 

I get the same thing until I set the Jaws cursor to unrestricted the way I described.
You can test this by simply opening www.google.com, then do the following:
1. Activate the Jaws cursor
2. Press Page Down to go to the bottom of the page with the Jaws cursor
3. Do a Say line (Jaws Key + NumPad 8), you will hear the following:
JAWS
Advertising Business How Search works Privacy Terms Settings
3. Say you want to click on "How search works" with the Jaws cursor, after Jaws reads this to you, try to use word by word navigation Jaws Key + Right arrow, to go to the word "How" in "How search works". You'll find Jaws says "blank" and nothing happens.
4. Now press Jaws Key + R several times until you hear "unrestricted"
5. Now press Jaws Key + Right arrow again, for me at least I can now easily navigate to "How search works" press the NumPad Slash to simulate a left mouse click and the page loads.

Sieghard

Hello Listers, I face a weird issue in Jaws Cursor mode only on
Google Chrome browser that, though I could read lines through arrow
keys, I cannot locate a word or a letter. In other words, I cannot
navigate word by word or character by character in Jaws Cursor Mode.
When I try to do it, It just says, "space". That is a problem,
because I cannot move on where I like to get, thus cannot simulate mouse click .
The problem 'is encountered with the final JFW2020 on Windows 10 Pro
Edition.

Anybody having this issue or any solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Soner,
 
I tried it and got the same results as yourself, so this is what I did to make the Jaws cursor work in Chrome.
1. Open the Settings Center while in Chrome with, Insert + 6, on the number row.
2. Navigate to the, Miscellaneous folder, this the one near the bottom, #24 of 25.
3. Right arrow to open, down arrow to, MSAA..., and if this is set on either, Automatic or Enhanced, press the spacebar until Jaws reports, Classic, now tab to, Apply, press the spacebar, tab to, Okay, and press enter to save and close.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go Rams!

Hi,

Without sighted assistance, How can you be sure it did not boot?

Some computers need a USB sound card in order for you to hear NVDA

while running the Windows PE.

If this is the case, you can get one from WalMart for around $10.

It is a version of windows that loads into RAM and you can even remove the

With this you can do repairs or install Windows, get on-line and even

It also has a network scanner in this version to help you get on-line.
You just cannot install to it because it will be gone on next boot-up.

Yes, no password can be bypassed by taking out a small piece.
I still would like to know about Windows passwords and if they can really
be
discovered as easily as Glen and some others here say they can.
As for Apple, what was said is correct. This case was when those two
people
shot and killed a bunch of people during this Christmas party I think in
California and I think it was now 2 years ago or maybe even 3.
Apple said they can't get into the iPhone which, by the way, was not as
secure as today's iPhones are, and I think the FBI hired some Israeli
company who tried to get in, millions were spent and I honestly can't
remember if they succeeded or not.
As for the Face Id thing and a thief pointing it at you that is only
correct
to some degree. If somebody snatched your iPhone and stuck around all you
would have to do is cover your Face with your hands if you are worried.
At
the same time if a thief stuck around they could just as easily grab your
hand and put your finger on the Touch Id home button or, even better, ask
you for the passcode. If somebody is that callus I doubt a lot of people
would keep their passcode to themselves after a few slaps or punches or
being shoved to the ground and kicked a few times which some such thieves
probably have few scruples to do.
The fact is that even if he can unlock your phone once with Face Id, he
has
to make sure it doesn't lock and having unlocked it with Face Id or Touch
Id
won't do them any good if they want to reset the phone to sell it or even
if
they want to get into it and disable or change the Face Id/Touch Id/PIN
option. As soon as you go to Settings > Passcode you have to enter you
passcode. Apple security is indeed very good, even if your phone was
stolen
and they have your PIN, you could wipe the phone and permanently disable
it
if you quickly log into iCloud and Find My iPhone also cannot be disabled
without the passcode, the only way to stop it from working is to turn off
the phone.

against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against
the
spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to
resist
in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
Ephesians 6:12, 13

I would love to know what that computer tech meant by taking out a small

This entire security thing seems as farcical as face I D on iPhones. In
order to get into your iPhone all the thief needs to do is point the
device
at you and poof he or she can use your device. I'm sure I am wrong but a
computer tech told me years ago all one needs to do to use a password
protected computer is take out a small piece and then anyone can use it
after that.

try looking for a software called konboot that should allow you to log in
to
those accounts with a password and remove them I think.
otherwise you may have to re--install windows thus removing everything on
the system and starting from scratch.

I have a used computer that a neighbor gave me. It is a Windows7 OS.
It has 3 password protected user accounts on it that are using
2/3 of the hard drive space. I don't know the passwords. Is there any
way that I can remove these accounts? Can this computer be restored to
factory fresh without a Windows 7 disk?

I am writing now on a Windows 7 PC and Jaws Cursor works fine on
Chrome here. Could anybody test Jaws cursor on Windows 10 with Google
Chrome and verify it please?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello, the issue is not navigation, I can use he up and down arrow
keys. However, if I would like to move on to an element only
accessible in Jaws cursor mode to simulate a mouse click or read a
text by using word by word or character by character navigation, the
only response I receive is, "space".

There are certainly situations where the Jaws cursor has to be used. For
example, if I go onto the Air Miles website here in Canada to book a
flight,
I have to enter the starting point or airport code of my flight and once
you
type all or part of it, the name or the city and airport pop up usually
somewhere below the edit field and the only way to get to it is with the
Jaws cursor and if you don't and you don't click it, you can't continue
with
the booking.
Then you have to repeat with your destination city/airport and after that
choosing departure and return date is even worse since a calendar pops up
on
the screen and again you have to use the Jaws cursor to try and find the
date and simulate a left mouse click.

I have never used Jaws cursor on a web page, it has never worked for me
and
I can read everything on a page with the PC cursor.

Hello Listers, I face a weird issue in Jaws Cursor mode only on Google
Chrome browser that, though I could read lines through arrow keys, I
cannot locate a word or a letter. In other words, I cannot navigate
word by word or character by character in Jaws Cursor Mode. When I try
to do it, It just says, "space". That is a problem, because I cannot
move on where I like to get, thus cannot simulate mouse click .
The problem 'is encountered with the final JFW2020 on Windows 10 Pro
Edition.

Anybody having this issue or any solution?

Thanks in advance.
