Hello all,

Someone told me today there is great risk for being hacked on IE at this time, and a fix has not yet been found. Has anyone else heard of this? Just checking.

That is the accepted wisdom at the moment: Microsoft is no longer developing internet Explorer, so suggest goingr to Google Chrome.

Hacking through browsers is a fact of internet life, and all we can do is take security precautions.

Personally, I've had better luck with FireFox than Chrome, so I will use it until Jaws has a fix for this.

If you want a browser that is essentially identical to Edge and is fully accessible with JAWS, try Google Chrome.

Hi,

I don’t know if there’s a driver, but I do know that I don’t want to use USB, because that would charge the unit, and the battery isn’t low.

What else can I try?

Thanks,

Jessica

Are you connecting over bluetooth?

well, what I did was;

 

1, start menu key takes you to the windows search edit,

type in options, you should find/see the Logitech app,  press enter,

 

now, wait a few seconds for the app to load, now you can activate the jaws touch cursor.

I was able to update this way.

a little clunky, but doable.

 

 

       The impossible is the untried,  Never under estimate the power of a dream.

No, it cannot. Both Logitech software updates and any firmware updates to the keyboard and/or unifying receiver have to be done via the Logitecch Options software.

But it is not a lengthy process and even somebody with basic knowledge can help with it, as long as they know how to use a mouse and click the Update button it’s fine.

I guess you could always call Aira, even if takes more than 5 minutes, as long as you are a Jaws user this should fall within the parameters for their free help with Jaws related things which are not accessible. Even Microsoft Accessibility could and would probably do this.

You will most likely need help with that Logitech Options update.

You can simply open Logitech Options and the update notice should be there, I also had a firmware update for my keyboard and unifying receiver tonight and except for the title “Firmware Update” Jaws read nothing regardless whether I tried the Touch cursor, actually used my laptop’s touch screen or tried the new Jaws scan cursor which did kick in, but it didn’t read anything.

When my wife looked she said it said there was a firmware update and it had an ‘Update” button. She did it for me and all is well now, but you also may need sighted help.

Logitech makes great keyboards, but the accessibility of their software totally sucks.

Sieghard

Subject: Unable To Access Logitec Pop-up

 

Hello, everyone.

 

Within the last day or so, whenever I turn on my computer, I get a Logitec pop-up that wants me to install an update of some kind.

 

However, within a few seconds from when Jaws reads the pop-up, the pop-up disappears, and I can’t seem to do anything to get it back.

 

I purchased a Logitec K780 bluetooth key-board a month or two ago, which is why I’m sure I’m getting the pop-up.

 

Has anyone else with Logitec keyboards experienced this issue?  If so, have you figured out a way to deal with this pop-up?

 

Thank you!

 

Tom Behler

HI have a braillenote touch+, and a windows pc running windows 10 and jaws 2020.

 

I’ve managed to pair the braillenote to the computer but when I attempt to connect it to jaws, my display says, “you can now pair your Braillenote touch with a host device. When the pairing is complete, turn your screen reader on and connect to the Braillenote using the Brailliant Bluetooth name.”

 

Nothing happens after that.

When I try to tell jaws which display to use, I’m told, “no active display, then it also states that my touch+ is the default, but I never see what jaws is saying on my display.

 

Can anyone help?

 

I apologize for cross-posting, as well as the lengthy explanation, but I figured the more info I provided, the better someone might be able to assist me.

 

I’m half tempted to uninstall and reinstall jaws, but want to see if there are any other solutions first.

 

Thanks,

 

Jessica
