Hey David,

Your zoom meeting tonight was great.

Lots of good questions and lots of helpful answers.

Thanks for hosting it.

 

You are right about Freedom Scientific help screens not being as clear as they could be. .  I started with version 3.0 and really learned Jaws on my own, asking questions along the way.  Have taken quite a few of F.s.’s webinars, too. 

 

I had about 5 other questions that might help in choosing topics for these Friday night tech sessions:

 

 

Questions from Judy:

What is the best screen reader to use for any of the google products?

 

What tips do you offer in navigating the web based version of office 365?

 

 

We have a new digital phone  system that ties us together throughout the world.  Each of us has a 5 digit extension.  .  Does anyone else use a digital phone system and where can you find hot keys for using it with Jaws?  I need to find out the name of it before question is asked. Actually using it with ear phones on the computer works much better than the hand set.

 

Does anyone use sales force with jaws well? Tips please?

 

Thanks much.

Judy

P.S. by the way, what microphone were you using for this conference?    I am looking for a good quality mike and head set that has a USB port that can plug into my computer.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many of us to spend more time at home. Some of us are now working from home. Some of us may be staying home to stay safe. Others may be at home in order to self-isolate or quarantine. Even before all of this began there have been many opportunities for online training using meeting platforms such as Zoom. Now that more of us are forced to stay in our homes the opportunities for remote training and assistance will likely increase.

A couple of weeks ago I attended my first Ibug conference where participants are encouraged to ask questions and to provide support for one another with their iOS devices. I really liked the format of the conference but I wanted to see a similar opportunity covering topics from a Windows perspective.

I decided that I’d like to host such a conference and this will likely be the first in a series of free, online tech workshops, assuming there is enough interest in such a project.

The first of these workshops is titled, “JAWS, Just Because” and is scheduled for Friday, March 20 at 8:00 PM Eastern time. This conference will allow users of the JAWS screen reader to both ask questions as well as to provide answers to those who use the JAWS screen reader. No question is too basic or too esoteric and it should be stressed that there is no such thing as a stupid question.

For this conference I’m looking for two types of participants. First, anyone with a question regarding JAWS is, of course, welcome. Second, I’m hoping that those who are knowledgeable in the use of JAWS will also consider participating to share knowledge. Due to time constraints we won’t have time to provide lengthy support or to tandem into a user’s machine. Questions which require this type of intervention would best be addressed by Vispero’s technical support.

In order to keep the conference running smoothly I am going to adopt a similar policy which has been successfully used by iBug. Users who wish to ask a question or to provide a response should say their name, as in, “This is John.” At that point please wait to be acknowledged by the host, as in, “Go ahead, John.”

I have some other ideas for similar workshops but would like to hear some of yours so that I can determine the needs that you have as well as the level of interest. With many of us working from home are there specific applications or programs that you might want some assistance with? Programs that come to mind are Slack, Teams, etc. Would there be interest in similar workshops for NVDA users?

I would also like to invite other assistive technology trainers to write to me privately if you’re interested in assisting with any of these workshops. Many of you may have some ideas which I haven’t thought of and you surely have expertise with topics which I do not. I am unable to provide any type of compensation for any assistance you may choose to provide but the point of these workshops is to provide free assistance to those who may be spending more time at home doing work or completing other tasks. This can be a stressful time for many of us. Many kind and patient people assisted me when I was first learning about assistive technology and I just want to pay it forward and give something back to the blindness community, particularly during this time when the need for some tech help may be even greater

Here is the relevant information about the upcoming conference.

I have Outlook 2010, and there is an easy work-around to this issue.  Just highlight what you want to spell-check, then the F7 key works just fine and launches spell-check.  To make this easy, when you are at the bottom of your note, highlight what you wrote by using shift + home.  Otherwise, control + a selects everything.

I have reported this several times to JAWS, but they have never fixed it.

Tim Ford

Heya Folks,

For ages now on previous versions of Jaws as well as this latest version have always had huge problems with lagging during and using of the Microsoft Outlook 2010 Spell checker, there’s never been a fix for this is it just me with this issue or is there others out there too? Am running Windows 7, 64bit Home edition.

Cheers,

Jim

I do not know what the processes for non-US users to engage with support.

Also hopefully you’ll have better luck than I do. Every time I called,
they tandems into my computer and all of a sudden the copy started to work.

Would suggest calling support to see if they can provide any help.

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.

Hello,

I’m having trouble with trying to communicate with a business via email from their web site.  When it says “I’m not a robot checkbox not checked it will not allow me to check that to let them know I’m not a robot.  I’ve tried pressing the space bar and I’ve tried pressing enter to no avail.  Is there another way to get that checked to say “I’m not a robot checkbox checked?

Thank you for any help.

And, seriously, when that occurs loud complaints should be made to the entities in control of those websites.

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.

Recently I have lost speech on several occasions whilst typing. My husband has so far always been able to recover speech. This time we are having a lot of problems and cannot get speech to work properly again. Is it possible to unload jaws and then reload it with jaws defaults? Or is there another way to tackle this? I want to upgrade to jaws 20, but don't think I should do this until I have resolve my current problem.

To switch JAWS to run the default settings, press Insert_Space, z. Do it again to switch to your personal settings.



Upgrading to JAWS 2020 might just solve your problem. Fixing a problem in an older version of JAWS doesn’t affect the newer version, so that is a possible fix.

I really like using zoom. We use it for meetings all the time. I use it with jaws on my laptop. All without others hearing the meeting, you can take notes in word or in a text file, and hear all your jaws commands. If you are the organizer, you even hear the chat messages.

I haven’t used the Zoom platform with JAWS yet, but I find the iPhone app for Zoom really easy to use thus far, as long as you have an earpiece with microphone so that people don’t hear voicover talking. If I were doing a class with Zoom, I might run Zoom from my phone, leaving my laptop open for taking notes.
