Hi,

Hi group,

I’m using Jaws 2020 with Word 365. Earlier today I had  Microsoft tech support change some settings that I couldn’t find regarding line and paragraph spacing. Since then I can’t see a document when I open it. I  suspect there is a window covering my doc because when I try to open my document, whether from the Documents folder or from within Word, I hear

“name of document, try the new Office mobile app, print view”

I can’t figure out how to get to my document, I can’t even read any of it, Jaws just says blank, like there’s just one line in the document and it’s blank. Word is maximized.  .

I hope somebody can help me with this…I’m closing in fast on my 19^th nervous breakdown,

Thanks,

Norma

Hi,

The first step if you want to do it yourself, rather than depending on a program that uses pre-written templates is to learn HTML code at whatever level you wish.

NotePad will only be useful if you know the coding required.

There are tons of online tutorials to learn how to create websites.

I did it so long ago that I don't have specific ones in mind.

I think NotePad++ may have some templates, but someone else I'm sure will chime in.

Enjoy,

Richard

 Good day friends!

Thank you for adding me to the mailing list. This is my first post to the group, and I am excited, I can have my inquiries head. 

 I have never created a website before, and I want to learn how to do it. Where can I start? Is the place accessible with jars? Some people were telling me that I should use notepad, how is that effective?

Thank you for all the suggestions in advance!

Best regards

If you don't know "what she is attempting to do" or "why she is attempting to do it" then giving step-by-step instructions is impossible.  Hence my much earlier request.  There are also many instances where someone has really not given adequate thought to what they're trying to do out of ignorance of other options.

Using a third party tool would be much easier, and more secure, than attempting to use remote desktop as is being proposed.  I thought even JAWS Tandem had a setting that allows remote connection unattended, but am absolutely not certain about that.  There are a number of utilities that do allow remote connections unattended at one end.

Jessica,

What is it, precisely, that you're trying to accomplish here?  And using what program or instructions?

Any of a million things can ask for the things  you're asking about and it would make it much easier to help if one has the whole picture.

No, this combination quits JAWS and dumps from memory but a manual re start from shortcut key or other options is required.

Hi, David. Try the following keystroke to unload and reload JAWS:

JAWS key plus WinKey plus F4.

Not here.

I have ben using Jaws since 1999 and in all this time this keystroke  on my systems only unloads Jaws but does not restart it.

jaws already has this option.

press the jaws key and f4. this will unload and reload it.

Personally as   a feature request I would prefer that Jaws has the same

behaviour as NVDA. That is, with NVDA running pressing control alt and N will

close and restart NVDA in one operation without any further intervention. Jaws

should do the same thing  with control alt J.

This NVDA feature is very useful if for any reason NVDA has stalled or speech

has been lost. It clears up these problems quickly and nicely as NVDA instantly

restarts itself with this forced restart.

In contrast if Jaws stalls you have to first of all try and shut it down and

then try to re-load it. The exception to this is if Jaws itself recognises that

it has crashed in which case it will sometimes restart itself  without any

intervention from the user. The drawback  it that it normally takes quite a

time to come to this conclusion.

Shutting down Jaws within one session in these circumstances is also not always

straightforward. Occasionally I have ended up with multiple Jaws icons on my

system tray as previous version have clearly failed to completely unload, even

though only one instance of Jaws is talking.

A computer restart is normally required to remove these multiple ghost

instances of Jaws.

I would much prefer NVDA’s  one shortcut approach  which in my experience never

results in multiple versions of NVDA trying to run in the background.

Hi,

The two ways I restart JAWS are as follows:

One, press the Windows key and the letter r to bring up the run box. Type

jaws2020 and press enter. JAWS should come up talking.

Two, press the windows key and the letter m to bring up the desktop. Press j

for JAWS and press enter. The only thing to remember with the desktop method is

if you have other things that start with j on your desktop, you might land on

one of those.

I hope this helps.

It will, because the Remote Desktop can transmit sound normally

Are you saying jaws wont work with remote desktop software without a remote license?

This is not a trivial task and has a lot of security implications.s

 

And once you get this to work, unless you have jars with the remote access license on your tablet, all you will have as an image of your computer with no sound.

Can we get more information on why remote access to your computer is needed. With this information we may be able to provide alternative solutions.

Hi,

I have a computer, in outside my home, that I'd like to access, when I'm not physically near it. 

I have the remote desktop app on my iphone and ipad. 

The computer is running win10 pro, and jaws2020. 

You have to have a password on the computer you want to connect to. 

You also need internet access. 

 

Once that's done, open the "remote desktop connection" app, and there are several tabs. 

 

Under "advanced, I think it was where it asked for the server name. 

After that, it constantly asked for my password, and would not take it. 

 

Can anyone help? 

I'm so close to finally getting this. 

 

Thanks,

Jessica
