excel - defining names
Juan Hernandez
HI All,
I am trying to make my excel spreadsheet read the column names and row names when using the jaws+alt+shift+r or C commands that jaws provides.
So I did the following:
First I went to column a1, where it says product name Then I hit alt+m, m, d which loads the define names dialog box and typed product name. I then pressed ok, and when I go down the colllumn and hit jaws+alt+shift+c it says no column name
Can someone please advise me as to what I’m doing wrong?
Best,
juan

I use my IPhone with Voice dream Scanner for quick scans of mail or to quickly find out what an item on my desk is. It is remarkably accurate . But for important items I do use a flat bed scanner.

See if it is available in device
manager.
Either go directly to device manager and type scanner
in the edit field, or from the windows key edit field, type in scanner and
select scanners and cameras and make sure Windows is aware of the
device.

I haven’t had as much luck scanning more complicated documents with columns or charts using the JAWS OCR. I tend to open them using K1000 if it’s more complicated. I only use VoiceDream Scanner on my phone for quick things I need to read and it’s true that it works best with a stand.

Just learned about being able to scan a document with JAWS layered keystroke (jaws key and spacebar, then o, then a) This is great to simply read some text and to save text. However, I see no way to scan and save as an image (i.e. jpg) This is an option in open book. Thoughts?

Re: Podcast, New Feature
Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) <steven.hicks@...>
Well after a long search, I found what I think is the registry settings but it is very complicated and involves hex values. If you don’t use hex values, it won’t work and I have an example to set it from the default of 3 seconds to 60 but I wanted something less, I wanted something like 2 minutes so I guess I am going to have to find the hex for 120 which is the setting for 120 second = two minutes and test that otherwise I think it will drain the battery big time.

Yes, what is happening is to save power some sound card drivers are putting the card into a sleep or shutdown mode and so when Jaws goes to send info to the sound card it has to wake up. This isn’t happening to everyone. The solution was a small program was written that continually sends something to the card to keep it active. And that way it didn’t have to wake up.
In the June release of Jaws they are going to build this feature of keeping the card awake as an option that a person can turn on if they are experiencing the issue.
Have a good day.

Hi Alan,
You can scan using JAWS in the newer versions but it sure is not up to snuff to equal Openbook. It will scan a document but you couldn’t ever do with it what students and working people need. Vispero give as an excuse not to update OpenBook that they would rather continue to develop JAWS scanning abilities rather than updating OpenBook. They haven’t updated it in years and, where does that leave those of us who purchased it a high price.

Hi Richard,
Try the following to see if this setting change will help you with what you're trying to do:
1. While in Word press, Insert + 6, on the number row to open, Word Settings Center.
2. Down arrow to, Say all closed, and right arrow to open.
3. Down arrow to, Indicate Caps during Say All not checked, and press the spacebar to check this option.
4. Tab to, Apply , press the spacebar, now tab to, Okay , and press enter to save / close.

Hello,
I’m using MS Word, and I am trying to figure out if the Jaws sound schemes can be customized so that an entire word with the initial letter capitalized can be identified by pitch change or other sound? I know that the sound schemes can help you identify the first letter when a word is capitalized but when I’m proofreading documents as an attorney using “say all” I need to be able to identify if words in a sentence are capitalized more efficiently.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Once you’ve created a desktop shortcut to a specific version of JAWS, try renaming it. for example, I’ve renamed JAWS 2020 as “JAWS 2020 shortcut.” This method was recommended by an FS tech support guy, and it has worked for me for several versions. Don’t ask me why. To rename a file, place focus on the filename, then press F2 to bring up an edit field. Make the changes, then press enter.

Apparently, some systems, mine included, and I'm running Windows 10 Home 64 bit; Jaws 2020 blocks the desktop hotkeys. I worked with Eric Damery last fall after Jaws 2020 came out. They thought the November or maybe the December update had fixed it, but they stopped working. They work with other screen readers.
