Hello list members:

Since retiring I have been involved in a number of volunteer activities. Recently I had a conversation with a local agency who is looking for a volunteer to assist clients in completing an online registration form as part of an interview process regarding potential receipt of specific services.

I understand that I cannot legally use one of my additional Jaws licenses because I have the Home version. Truth to tell, other than JAWS, I have never really worked with any other screenreader programs. Some years ago, Idid a cursory  review of NVDA. I understand that Narrator has improved in some measurable ways. I know that there are other programs out there.

For purposes of this opportunity, where I would need to load a screenreading program onto a laptop in order to conduct the interviews, I am looking for any recommendations of open-source screen Reader programs.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Best,  Justin  

Hi Listers,

I’m running Windows 10 and using JAWS 2020.

I haven’t gotten “NOTIFICATIONS” on my screen in a very long time. Now, I keep getting it but forgot how to read it. Can someone help?

Thanks.

That's what I'm not getting is replies to tweets.  I never see them, so I suspect they aren't shown, which makes the whole thing pretty useless to me.  Sad, but the ios app is a more useful tool by far.

You can follow conversations with the hotkey alt+windows+C. But the conversation gets displayed in its own buffer, which you can either access from the tree view or by moving the buffer focus with alt+windows+left-arrow. However, the conversation buffer only shows your conversation with a user, which is vastly different from a Twitter thread. I still can't figure out how to make TWBlue display complete threads. All I get are original tweets. I'm also speculating that TWBlue does in fact display replies to tweets, but rather than group them by thread, they're in chronological order.
Even so, it's hard to follow a thread when it's broken up over hundreds of tweets.

Hi,

Support for Windows 7 has ended on Jan 14, 2020.

So this goes for anyone who is upgrading or going to upgrade their Windows

from 7 to latest Windows 10.

Mentioned Below are the basic requirements for upgrading to Windows 10.

Processor: 1.8 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor

RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB) or above

Hard disk space: 500 GB or larger

Also some of us might still be using 2 GB of RAM and will think about

upgrading so as to install the latest Windows 10, before doing that please

confirm with your system manufacturer, weather your system support a higher

RAM or not.

If you have the above requirement then you can easily upgrade to Windows 10

and for upgrading you must have the licensed copy or an Activated Version of

the previous Windows 7 on your current computer.

To make sure that your system doesn't act in a sluggish way, keep the

Windows Update option always Turned On, so that all the necessary updates

and security patches are added automatically.

Note: if you're going to try the update process, I would make sure your
windows 7 machine is using a wired connection.

this is a link to download the windows 10 media tool

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

want you to buy it, I understand.

I think there is still a free upgrade to Windows 10, just a bit harder to

find.

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to

Could you not have taken advantage of the free upgrade that was offered

by Microsoft? Or, is your computer to old? I asked that, not to be a smart
ass, but, I tried to get my sister?s lap top upgraded from 8 to 10 and
Microsoft said it was too old to accept the upgrade. Having said that, I
managed to get a free lap top that according to a tech was a windows 7. It
got upgraded to 10. True, snails move faster then it boots up, but I
managed to scrape up enough funds to get a SSD put in it. Now it moves a
lot faster.

Could someone please tell me how to view videos on facebook Messenger?

I am using JAWS 2019 on a Windows 7 machine. I know that I am supposed to
be upgrading to Windows 10, but don't have the funds.

Thank you.

Hi,


What is the most accessible Twitter client to use with the latest Jaws on a Windows 10 machine?


Thanks,

Hi everyone

 

What SSH-clients do you can recommend if I will use it with the latest version of JAWS for Windows, and do you have experience with PuTTYgen, a freeware SSH-client?

 

Thanks in advance for your answer, and have a nice day.

 

Regards,

Anders

Hi Anders,

I use PuTTY for my college work with no issues once you install the recommended scripts. The link to the scripts and instructions is below:

Which is when you could have used Narrator to find out what is happening.

Control+Windows+enter to start or stop Narrator on Windows 10.

KMCasey  I remember before I call microsoft disability support on Thursday morning trying to get helped with cd rive that say notification updated the cd drive when I insert the audio cd  so the man when on notification  to open folder  to do something  to get the audio cd to read Addison document from 2008 thru 2014  that when I find out Thursday afternoon that jaws2019  was acted kind of funny  so that when I opens my computer  then arrow down to local disc  then application key arrow up to scan with window defender  it started scan while I was eating supper so when I got back jaws was not saying nothing at all !!

I don’t have a specific answer to your question, but whenever JAWS craps out on me, I turn on Narrator to see if I can see what’s up. If there is some kind of message or error that needs my attention, narrator will read it. If Narrator doesn’t come up or doesn’t start talking, then, yeah, a restart might be required – that does happen, too. But Narrator is pretty reliable and 80% of the time I’d say comes up talking in less than a second.

Hello All I couldn’t believe jaws2019 disappearance while I was doing windo defender to scan the local disc on yesterday evening  when I come back on computer after eating supper jaws was not saying anything at all when I press tab and press insert f12 for time then I type in window r jaws2019 press enter  nothing  so I shut down the computer then turns it badk on jaws come on  so it not jaws2019  that came back on it was jaws2018  !! Does anyone have any idea why jaws2019 disappearance or gone from the computer folder ? Does anyone have jaws2019  download links or repairs jaws2019 ?

I’m using desktop computer ,I was thinking about if I can get jaws2019  from laptop to put in desktop !!\
