Re: jaws 2020 not reading with in edit fields
That was just discussed on the Jaws private beta list and we are not entirely sure yet if this is a Jaws or Edge issue. Somebody who is running Edge via the Edge channel which is a slightly higher version reported he doesn't seem to have this issue.

If it's a deal-breaker for you, you would have to switch to Google Chrome until this is addressed by either Microsoft or Vispero, I mostly use Google Chrome and don't have this problem. Regards, Sieghard

Re: table row number

Problem is now solved.
A friend suggested to go into quick settings of the browser, go to tables and check if cell co-ordinates was turned on. Somehow the recent update had turned the setting off and turning it on solved the problem.

Hold down control plus alt and use the arrow keys and it reads the row and collum number of each roll when moving through a table

Hi George,
I need the row number to be spoken by Jaws when arrowing slowly up the table column. If arrowing up at a normal speed then Jaws skips the row announcement and just reads the cell contents which is the desired result.
Currently, using the Jaws 2020 version released in the past week, Jaws does not announce any row number regardless of the arrowing speed. The row announcement was spoken under the final 2019 version as well as the 2020 version released in late October. I made the settings in the just released version the same as the settings in the 2019 version but this had no effect. That is, after making sure the settings relating to “default application” and saved with shift control d.
After trying numerous settings, I have come to the conclusion that a bug has crept into the latest 2020 Jaws update.
I’ll contact F S and make a report early in the new year.
Cheers Tom

Thanks for your reply and instructions George.
I have tried all of the steps on numerous occasions but still cannot get Jaws to read the row position in a table while using the latest version released only a few days ago.
However, if I change to the final copy of Jaws 19 then the row number is spoken as normal. It appears to me that something has been broken in the latest 2020 version.

Hi,
Prior to installing the latest Jaws 64 bit update a few days ago, Jaws would read the row position in a web based table as I arrowed up the column but since the update, Jaws no longer gives this information.
Can someone inform me which settings need to be changed so once more Jaws can give this info?
Thanks
Tom

Re: Preferred method to delete older version of Jaws?
Richard B. McDonald
Basically, suppose you have JAWS 13,15 and 2019 installed. If you uninstall 13 and then 15 keeping 2019 and uninstall the user settings, when you then go to use an Office application (e.g., Word, Outlook) the virtual ribbons do not speak as expected. This happened to me. After discussing the problem with technical support, they told me that uninstalling the user settings kills the ribbon functionality requiring a repair of JAWS 2019. Doing that fixed the problem. I uninstalled those early versions of JAWS in preparation for installing JAWS 2020 in the near future thereby having only 2019 and 2020 on my computer.

Can you elaborate? You can install Jaws on a new system where no previous user files exist and all works as it should. What exactly do you mean by “lose MS Office ribbon functionality”?
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Richard B. McDonald
Further to the below, also retain “user settings.” Else, you will lose MS Office ribbon functionality; which I learned the hard way.
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Richard Turner
I would use the Windows control panel, programs and features, and uninstall from there, but you probably should leave shared components.

Re: using Jaws on a mac
Cohn, Jonathan
Yes, there have been several discussions on MacVisionaries a googlegroups list on using VMWare Fusion on the Macintosh with JAWS and/or NVDA. Though obviously you will have better luck with JAWS / Windows applications on this list. The archives for MacVisionaries is publically visible, and I would expect you can get all the information you need without subscribing.
I personally have three Windows VM's on my Mac so I can easily switch between different versions while testing. VMWare does have the ability to mount parts of the Macintosh disk into the z:\ drive on Windows, so do not configure cloud storage on your Windows side as discussed earlier.

Re: using Jaws on a mac
David Griffith
MacVisonaries is an option but most Mac lists will not like you talking about Windows apart from the actual installation of the VM.
I have not used a Mac for over a year now but I would offer the suggestion that you use VMware Fusion as your VM client. This was accessible in setting up windows the last time I tried. I thought Fusion was the perfect way of having the best of both worlds with a Mac running windows at the same time. I have to say that I was wrong. There are hidden drawbacks. If you are going to be a heavy Windows User then I would suggest that you do not accept the default split of processor cores for the Virtual machine but increase both processor and ram available to the machine to increase performance level. If you lack an insert key you will probably need to use Sharp Keys in the VM to remap a key as your insert key. Remember also that you will have to use one of your Jaws activations for the VM. Also running cloud storage like iCloud and DropBox on a VM can be complicated as you end up hosting the same mirrored files physically twice on your Mac and your VM virtual drive . If you use hardware peripherals such as scanners and/or Bluetooth devices do not expect life to be straightforward with the VM.
For what it is worth I used a VM for some years but eventually abandoned it. I decided Windows machines were better for running Windows and left the Mac for running the Mac software for which it was best. Unlike Macs Windows laptops etc were so cheap that by the time you had bought Fusion and a legit copy of Windows etc. there was little to be gained.
Unlike running cloud on a VM cloud software like DropBox and iCloud work brilliantly if you are working across multiple physical machines of a Mac and a Windows machine. This made it comparatively easy to share files across both devices.
Just my views.

Hi all
I am wanting to try and set up a vm on a Apple Mac and have Windows and Jaws on it.
Does anyone have a link to a Mac user list so I can get information and help on how to do this.
Many thanks
John
