clock question
Madison Martin
Hi all,
Can someone please tell me how to change the time on my computer so that it stays? It's off by at least 15 minutes which is rather annoying. I'm running Jaws 2018 and Windows 10. Thanks Madison

Have you tried the f2 key on your keyboard? That might work.

Hi. I can answer a couple of your questions. First, you get to the participant list by pressing alt-U. You have to tab around until you get to the list of names; then you can arrow up and down. This is somewhat buggy. They claim they’re going to fix it so that every time you get into the participant list you’ll be put in the list of names by default, but they haven’t fixed it yet. To chat with a participant, you have to open the chat panel. You do this by pressing alt-H. That opens the chat panel. You then tab around until you find the names of participants and press enter on the name of the person you want to chat with. By default it’s set to send a chat to everyone. Hope this helps.

Dear Listers:
I am taking part in a class at church via Zoom. I know how to join a meeting and how to mute and unmute my microphone, but there are a few things I am having problems with. First, when you join a meeting, how do you get to the Gallery view using JAWS? Also, when I get to the list of participants JAWS won’t read the list whenever I arrow up and down. Also, I know there is a spot where it says, “Find a participant.” I assume you enter the person’s name and then the person’s name will show. But if you want to send a message to that participant, how do you do it? Whenever I find the “Find Participant,” link and enter the person’s name, when I tab again it just gives me the option to either clear the search or cancel. So what does this mean?

all of a sudden, jaws won't read emails in outlook 2019.
Jim Rawls
Hi all, When I open a message in outlook, it says unread, and I see what the line is, but when I open the message to read it, I don't see the top of the message. I see, the reply to whatever someone wrote, but I can't see the latest message in any group message, and as far as any personal messages go, I can't see the latest message in any thread either. If I do a jaws repair, things work for awhile, but then things go haywire again for no apparent reason. I am running outlook windows ten, jaws 2020 on a windows ten machine. Jim

I am using latest Jaws 2020 and windows 10. I have my sound blaster card selected in Jaws, but when I go to sound settings in windows and change to a different sound card, I lose Jaws speech.
I thought if I specifically selected the sound blaster card in Jaws, and not the windows default sound, Jaws would always speak through the sound blaster card, regardless of selection in windows 10 sound settings.
I am trying to route Jaws to the sound blaster card and other sounds to the built in realtek sound card.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Also, when I plug in any new sound output device, such as a camera, windows 10 makes this the active sound output device, effectively turning off Jaws speech.

Yes, I have speakers into my sound blaster card and headphones into my on board Realtek audio. Today, I plugged in my camera for a Zoom meeting. Jaws stopped speaking through sound blaster and tried speaking through the speaker built in to my camera. It was too quiet to hear, but fortunately, narrator was loud enough to hear through the small camera speaker. I had to go to windows 10 sound settings and switch the focus back to the sound blaster card, and all audio came through fine. I still have the sound blaster card checked in Jaws, which should mean that all Jaws audio comes through it, even when a different audio output is selected in windows 10 settings. I would like to figure out how to make this work properly. Randy Meyer

I don't know if the Linux based OpenWRT or DD-WRT firmware supports any LTE router. But I use DD-WRT on my Netgear router and the accessibility is very good. Using alternative firmware is ofcourse on our own risk but it gives a lot of extra features and makes it possible for me to connect it to VPN through OpenVPN.

Re: Any thoughts on getting latest version of Firefox (78.0.1) to work better with older JFW (2018)?

turn off the virtual cursor before you open the bookmark list with control i or shift control b. jaws will crash when you open the bookmark list.

and make sure the list is closed when focus goes to the web page. if you don't jaws will eventually crash again if the bookmark list is still opened. this does not happen with n v d a. and this has been happening back to firefox 52.

Hey folks. Yes, I know JAWS 2018 is behind the curve, now, and that an upgrade would be beneficial. However, I’m not in a position to upgrade at this time. At the risk of running a huge struggle to continue using outdated software, I would like to know if anybody has any ideas of configuration settings that might make Firefox less crashy using this screen-reader. I know its’ an issue between interaction with JAWS and firefox and, frankly, always has been since the advent of Quantum. I tested this with nVDA (2019.3 and 2020.1) and it’s a lot less crashy. In fact I have failed to make Firefox crash even once using this other screen-reader. I know some users of JAWS 2020 have reported crashes, too, but I’m unable to test that currently and at a guess, newer versions of JFW should probably work better as well as NVDA. Anyway, since I’m not looking to downgrade firefox and not quite ready to either upgrade or give up JFW for the web browsing experience, in part because it works so nicely with my Focus braille display, just wondering if there are any flags/options I can alter in about:preferences or about:config (firefox’s “hidden” advanced settings page containing literally thousands of configurable options) that might help me have a smoother experience. Right now, since FF updated to 78.0.1 a week or two ago, everything from wikipedia pages to my old wisp’s webmail is crashing tabs. This only happens when jFW is running. NB: I’m aware of other browsers and use them, so no need to suggest just switching browsers. Thanks!!
