Re: Control Alt J Not Working to Open JAWS
Pat Seed
Hi Larry and
All,
Like you said, Larry, before installing any new
version of JAWS, I always change the shortcut of the older version to
be:
(control alt 0) for JAWS 2020,
(control alt 9) if it is JAWS 2019,
(control alt 8) if it is JAWS 2018, and so
on.
Then I install the updated JAWS, which then, can
use the
(control alt j).
This numbering system works great for using older
versions of JAWS, because it is easy to remember, should I like to use an older
version for something in particular.
Blessings and All the Very Best,
Pat

Re: Creating a Facebook Business Page with JAWS
Dan Longmore
I would recommend using the Facebook pages app to create the page. Then you can access it from your regular Facebook profile if you were attaching it to your profile. I can’t speak for jaws but Facebook pages is really accessible with Apple’s voiceover. Hopefully that means it is also accessible with other screen readers.

Hi all,
I am working with a student who, when she hits Control Alt J to open JAWS, nothing happens. Same thing with hitting Control Alt N to open NVDA. I know that it is set correctly in JAWS shortcut Properties and she has admin privileges, so that is not the problem. Any idea what the problem might be? Does it have anything to do with updating drivers or something like that? If so, what do you do?
Any assistance is appreciated.

Re: Control Alt J Not Working to Open JAWS
Richard Turner
From a fellow sufferer of this bug, I’m guessing she is running Jaws 2020 on Windows 10, or 2019 on Windows 10. I reported this bug last year to FS and discovered that only a few people had this issue. Eric Damery did a tandem session with me and he could observe it on my machine, this was still with Jaws 2019. They thought they had solved it in 2020, which did work fine for about 4 days. Then, I lost the ability to use the shortcuts I had created. So, I switched to using the pin to task bar, I think it is called, where Windows Key plus 1 launches the first program in the order pinned, etc.
I am the only user of this machine, I have admin rights up the ying yang, yet, they do not seem to know what causes this. This is a Del Inspiron 57 something or other, laptop.

Re: getting jaws to say unread

Hi, Marv. I don't know if someone helped you off list,
or, if you managed to figure out a solution on your own, but I thought I'd send
this anyway just in case.
Lou N.
Creating a Graphic Label ManuallyTo practice creating a Graphic Label, use HJPad. To launch HJPad go to Start, All Programs, JAWS X (where X is the JAWS version number), Run HJPad. Using the Graphics Labeler is easy, but before you start ensure that JAWS is set to speak graphics. Follow these steps to be sure:
Now that all graphics will be spoken, you are ready to find a graphic to label.
Tip: To navigate to the toolbar, first press PAGE UP to move to the top of the window, and then press HOME to move to the top, left.
Note: To edit a graphic label, use the same procedure that you would to create a new graphic label, and just change the name of the label in the Graphics Labeler when it opens. To delete a graphic label, do the same, but delete the name in the Graphics Labeler.

According to Eric Damery and Glen Gordon in today's NFB meeting on JAWS, Mozilla is aware of this issue which was caused inadvertently by them in the Firefox 78.x update and it should be fixed when version 79 is released on the 28th of this month.
