Re: New Edge And Jaws
Dan Longmore
It’s slower but like an old friend Internet explore so often comes through when other browsers don’t. I keep it around and still use it when chrome and others just don’t do the job.

I had switched to Google Chrome months ago. Took some getting use to, but I like it so far. I’ve also tried out the new Edge, but don’t know what to make of it yet.

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.

I contacted the Microsoft disabilities answer desk about this problem. The tech after checking Edge, said that Jaws was not completely compatible with the new Edge. With his reccomendation, I went back to Internet Explorer for now.

And the same applies to Windows 7, as of last week or so official support for Windows 7 has ended and you will get no further security updates. Use at your own risk.

Re: New Edge And Jaws
And whoever told you Edge was not compatible with Jaws is not really telling you the truth. Almost every browser may have little issues, but you can easily use Edge or Chrome, for me Chrome has been my primary browser probably for about 3 years now. My experience with Firefox has always been more flaky which goes to show how subjective this is, but given the market share Google Chrome has and if you add other chromium based browser it’s even more, this is clearly what the majority of people use and from my observations this is no different among the visually impaired community.

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

It is no longer safe to use IE because it has not been supported for years, and so is vulnerable to hacking and malware attacks. It is safer to use more modern browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, which are frequently updated and fully supported.

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

The new Edge and Jaws
Richard Turner
Hello, I got the new Edge installed yesterday and overall it seems to work very well. However, when entering a search term, if you make a mistake and hit the backspace key, it Jaws doesn’t speak the character you deleted, but speaks the first letter.
Anyone else finding this? Is there a fix?
Thanks, Richard
Richard
🖖 Live long and prosper

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?

Are you connecting over bluetooth? Windows is notoriously bad with bluetooth. Was there a driver that you installed for the Touch? Did you try rebooting while the Touch is connected via USB?

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,
