You can chat with zoom? I thought it was just for meetings, not like skype.

zoom chat
Justin Williams
I see a lot of info on having a zoom meeting, but is there anything on the zoom chat messenger?
What I mean is, some of the keystrokes that work in the meeting, don't work in the chat.
Also, I can't copy links or operate them while in the zoom chat room, and it doesn't seem as fluid as the meeting.
Thanks,
Justin

The one good thing about David Pinto is that he makes this program fun and rewarding in its own way. He spends thousands of hours perfecting his scripts, and will provide help and documentation for his work. And most important, he’ll make it work with Jaws, not no silly animation such as Talking Typing Teacher.
From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of JM Casey
Certainly agree with your principle Glenn … though I am not sure it’s always entirely wrong to profit from a niche market like the disabled, certainly the entire model should be different and it’s ridiculous that the costs for some of these blindness-related products is so inflated.
I don’t know anything about typing tutorials nowadays, but I certainly remember some on disk for the Apple II computer. In the mid/late 80s when I was using the things, they were already old and I think most software was already in the public domain or close to. There were a few fun typing games … one that was kind of like space invaders and made use of the limited Apple speaker sound capability as well as the Echo speech synthesiser, whose pitch would increase as the letters got “closer” to you. Fun times. Haha
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Glenn / Lenny
Honestly, typing is one of the most important skills lacking in the Blind. Mostly among the newly Blind. However, with that in mind, in my opinion, I would state that it is despicable to make profit off a typing program designed for the Blind. I think makers of software for the Blind, or other disabilities if it exists, need to stop making a living off the backs of the disabled, and spearhead an open-source movement for specialized software for the disabled, and get a real job. It will always be a small market and the cost will always be ten to twenty times the cost to the consumer of similar software, to the general public because of its limited market. That is why the rehabilitation-specific software that state agencies purchase cost a couple million dollars per agency and about a third of a million annually to maintain it, for a product that by standards of complexity could otherwise easily be done as open-source software. I have a degree in business management, so it's not like I don't understand how business works. And I find it even worse when the disabled themselves engage in profiting off their brothers and sisters, especially when they have or still do exist on a disability-related income. But to my original point, there needs to be an open-source typing program designed for the Blind, because a good one would incorporate some screenreader keyboard commands, Fun With Typability does this, I don't recall if TTT does, it's been a long time since I taught with that one. So they are decent products in terms of what is needed, they only need to be free to consumers. Perhaps they should operate like some programs do, free for home use, and a cost for business use.

Re: free jaws help
I assume whatever registration steps you completed took care of the license you'll need to activate the JAWS you install. You can go to the following site to download the latest JAWS 2020 in order to install it:

If you don’t have a JAWS 2020 icon on your desktop, you have to assume it didn’t install. There is no harm in downloading and install again. If it did install, it will only go into repair mode so no harm done.

I registered on the Freedom Scientific Licensing portal to get the free Jaws license that is available until the end of June. After getting register I click on the download and install the program on to my computer, but I cannot find the new Jaws version on my computer and the only Jaws program version of 16.0 that I have on my computer is the only one I can find. Can anyone tell me what went wrong with the process and how I can fix to get the current subscription version of Jaws on my computer.

Opening a link that is in a google docs document with JAWS2020
Shai
Hello,
I have a google docs document that has links in it. JAWS identifies these as links but I am not able to interact ie navigate to and access it. Is there a means other than downloading the document as a Microsoft word file and accessing the link in the document this way to be able to access it from within Google Docs itself? I only have view access to the file but was able to enable screen reader mode. I tried pressing tab and also pressing insert with f7 in the hopes that JAWS would bring up a links list but tab did not do anything and pressing insert with f7 said that this feature is only available within a virtual document. I am using JAWS2020 latest update with Google Chrome browser on a Windows10 machine. Thank you in advance for all responses.

although it does not have any keyboard commands. If you still have trouble, I would recommend contacting the Microsoft accessibility help. I remember that it was also difficult for me to locate. Here is the link to the article https://support.lesley.edu/support/solutions/articles/4000048040-how-to-change-your-office-365-email-to-from-the-light-version Lastly, the number to Microsoft accessibility is (800-936-5900).
