Re: jaws 2020 not starting correctly.
Mike B.
It sounds like J2020 is set to start on the log-in
screen. If you're saying that there's no Jaws window when you, Alt + tab,
you probably have J2020 running from the system tray. To find the settings
for both these items press, Insert + J, to open the Jaws context menu, press the
letter, O, to open, Options, and press the letter, B, to open, Basic. Now
tab to Automatically start Jaws... button and press the spacebar to find your
Jaws start settings and tab to Okay and press the spacebar when you're through
in here. Now tab 3 times or so to, Run Jaws from system tray, and uncheck
this if you want the Jaws window to be in the, Alt + Tab, order, then tab to
Okay and press enter to save / close.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Subject: jaws 2020 not starting correctly. Hi,
I am new to this group, so i hope i am doing this right. I have jaws2018 and 2020. 2018 works fine, but when 2020 starts, there is no jaws window. It seems to be starting before windows 10 has loaded. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but there was no change.
Any ideas?

Michelle Here, Not knowing your system are you logging on to profiles on the computer? or can you log on to desktop direct? I had to get Jaws 2020 to make sure it booted up at startup. Sometimes you may need to do this through your settings in windows. Force jaws to start up on login. Good luck Michelle

Hi all, there is a setting in JAWS that allows a person to read links on a web page left to right as they are viewed by a sighted person, instead of the normal up and down. It has been in for a few versions of JAWS. Can anyone think of the name of that feature? Thanks Frank Ventura

Re: Outlook took a long time to load a message
Norma A. Boge
Hi Michael, you didn’t say what version of Outlook you’re using, but I’ll bet it’s 365. If it is, this is the famous Jaws and Outlook sluggishness that some of us have to deal with on a regular basis. One thing, though: check in your System Tray and if there is an item that says Outlook is synchronizing folders, close Outlook and restart it. That might help. Best, Norma

Re: websites pestering me to turn on screen reader mode
JM Casey
It could be fine if it's just a "mode" -- but if we don't really know what it is exactly, being cautious about turning it on seems reasonable. It's not great accessibilitly practice to create a separate scheme for screen reader users. On some websites I've seen in the past (thankfully not too recently, I don't think) this even means a whole differetn set of webpages -- that'sa bad thing because who knows if they are updated/maintained with the diligence of the "normal" site?

Re: websites pestering me to turn on screen reader mode
Vaughan Dodd
I have found it generally next to useless – more of a nag than truly functional.
My bank has this feature, but the site has evolved over time to be less and less accessible – making more use of frames and multiple tabs. It seems as if ‘screen reader mode” was a suggestion, but its actual development to be truly helpful has languished.

Thabo Baseki <THAB0.BASEKI@...>
Hello friends!
There are certain tasks that I would like to perform on Microsoft publisher, however when I tried to use it with the JAWS, it seems a failure or a struggle. Is there a way of making it happen? If yes, how? If no, is there an alternative? I
would like to do things such as creating certificates, creating cards, banners, posters, and similar items.
Your helpful assistance is highly appreciated!
Best and stay safe

If you're referring to a single, specific message then I believe Bill White is correct: it's got something to do with large embedded or attached content.
