Re: seeing how many messages I have in Outlook
Interesting, I recently set up my ?Gmail account in Outlook and you are correct, it says it’s connected to the server and all that, but it does not give a message count. Oh well, I rarely use that account for anything since I much prefer the Exchange way for mail, contacts and such.

This is what I get and have been getting for quite some time. I’d just given up on it ever working All Unread Search Current Mailbox (Ctrl+E) Current Mailbox, not very helpful. At one time I asked about this and was told no one else had this issue.

Pass Key Through is Insert + 3 on the number row Does your computer have a numeric pad and are you using the desktop keyboard layout with Jaws or laptop layout? If I press Insert + 3 on the numeric pad (that would be the Page Down key otherwise) Jaws reads the status line in Outlook, like this:

I never used it, but as I recall people were griping about how it handled large books. I just dumped "A History of Private Life" into it, and it works quite well. This book could cause injury if you dropped it on your foot.

Shirley,
A puzzle. Can you post which email client you use, which version of Windows, and which of JAWS? Maybe then someone can suggest something to check in settings. Whatever you do, don’t abandon HTML format.

I sent the message the way I have always done. No one has ever told me there was an issue. Going back and reading my original message, it’s clear. But in reading it below other messages, I can’t translate it, either. I’m not a computer tech kind of person. I do well to use it for what I need—in fact, I depend on it for many things. So I don’t even know how to change this. Wonder why it shows up differently than ever before.

I had no problem reading Shirley’s email when I opened it but scrolling to it in this message, all the coding is exposed, which makes it annoying when trying to read the text. I wonder what happened there?

From a quick check, they are pushing the Transit app for smart phones, which is quite accessible on Android or iOS.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
And, they are also using Google maps, and I've not found that overly useful on a computer, though to be honest, I only use my iPhone for transit directions.
Where I live, we have several choices of apps, all of which work well.
I've not found many transit systems web sites to be very accessible.
I think I would point out to them that they need to follow the guidelines for web accessibility which they can find easily if they want to.
Given all the successful law suits lately about web accessibility, it seems like they might get the hint if enough people contact them.
Good luck,
Richard

help with a website searching for bus directions and routes using jaws for windows version 2020
Kimsan <kimsansong@...>
Hello, I was asked here at work to write up an email to send off to the local transit center explaining the inaccessibility of the website. At least for me, the part that isn’t accessible using jaws is the planning for a trip part on the website. So, for those that do not understand my question, here is the scenario. Student A needs to navigate to https://www.bft.org/, from the top of the page, press E twice and will land on a starting address edit field, tabbing once will place you in the ending address and the rest is an edit box to select date of travel and time of travel whether if it’s AM etc. Then there is a plan trip button to press spacebar on. On the next screen, select mode of travel, so from the top press A until arriving to the group of radio buttons. In this case I selected transit. From here, the only way somewhat to get a clear reading is to route jaws to pc. Can someone here successfully get transit directions using this site, before I write to the department? If not, how would I properly explain the inaccessibility. I mean, do I just say, your map doesn’t work with jaws for windows? 😊 Thank you for any help and suggestions.
