Re: restarting JAWS in default user mode

Hi Martin,
As Dean posted, but it was below Alison's message.
Press, Insert + spacebar , then press the letter, Z, to run Jaws with its
default settings, this is a toggle, so invoke the keystroke again to go back to
your settings.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I didn't stop shaking hands because of, COVID-19, I stopped because noone can buy toilet paper! But, good news! Due to the hording of toilet paper the LA Times is temporarily changing it's name to: The Daily Wipe!

Re: Issues with "I'm not a robot"

Some websites won’t let the checkbox be checked until you enter the text they want. My challenge: even if I use the audible and hear the letters and/or numbers, I can’t always get them typed into the place where they should go.

Re: Making shortcut to desktop

When you find the executable file for the program you want to have a shortcut to on the desktop, right click, or press shift+f10, or the application key; then arrow to Send, press the right arrow and then down arrow to desktop and hit enter. Make sure you don’t choose send with transfer, but the one that just says send.

Re: i agree about i e. but...
Quick check reveals that IE 11 is, as of this writing, still PCI compliant.
But, as writer SteveB_85 noted on answers.microsoft.com topic, Internet Explorer 11 "will not be supported soon"?, ". . . use Internet Explorer to access apps that aren't compatible with Edge or other browsers but the recommendation from Microsoft is now only to use Internet Explorer for compatibility purposes."

I understand your concerns, however IE is still secure and may not even be as nosey as Chrome. Truth is new is not always better. While I have switched to Chrome and Edge IE is still faithful in critical needs.

It is insane to have people forced into using what is well known to be an insecure browser to enter credit card data. It would not shock me, though I haven't checked, that it could very well be a violation of PCI compliance to allow IE use with credit card information. Internet Explorer is not secure, period, and it is up to entities handling financially or otherwise sensitive information to get off their duffs and update their sites to use secure and modern browsers. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Tolerance is the positive and cordial effort to understand another's beliefs, practices, and habits without necessarily sharing or accepting them. ~ Joshua Liebman

Same experience here. IE is the default when other browsers fail. Many state agencies still rely on IE for its broad access.

I might join. This is awesome.
Personally, I need training on google docs or all that google crap! Lol I have very basic JAWS skills but as a somewhat newly blind person I get very frustrated trying to figure out what JAWS is doing. I think when it speaks, I try to imagine how things look or are formatted on a page or screen, and I think that often throws me off because I am trying to compare what I hear to what I imagine is or should be on the screen, so I get quickly frustrated when it is not saying what I think it should. Not sure if that made sense. But yeah. Thanks for doing this. Will see how it goes. I will share it with some people in case they want to join.

Hey all,
So I installed the latest version of JAWS on this laptop 2 days ago. It’s been running overnight now because I’m using it for work, and I’m noticing something odd. Usually JAWS occupies around 200 MB or so of RAM, tops. At the minute, it’s up around 4 GB of RAM. I mean, I have 16 so that’s not a huge issue, but that seems slightly odd. Anyone else having this problem? This is on Windows 10’s latest build.
