Re: Reading pdfs with confidence

Steve, is there a way to read pdfs in chrome para-wise smoothly? Line by line and say all are laborious. It divides paras very unnaturally. Not smooth at all.

Yes, it also misses I's and L's if the font is a bit weird. I prefer Chrome for reading.

I open PDFs in Adobe Reader. JAWS sometimes jumps around of its own accord in pdfs, especially when transitioning from one page to another. and has to be redirected. Even jaws 2020. While I am able to bring it back where I need to when it jumps, I remain quite worried. That I might miss some vital info or internalize it wrongly if I fail to notice the jump. Does anyone else face this? How do you get around it? Converting every pdf into word is not very viable.. and can muff up footnotes. Copy pasting it into word makes a 10 page pdf a 30 page word doc. And makes quick reading very hard. So what can one do? Rahul

Re: assigning custom label with jaws.
Patrick Murphy
Hi Enrique,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
i tried your suggestion. insert+g opens the graphics labeler, but jaws tells me that i am not on a graphic with the jaws cursor. i have routed it to the graphic, i even did a lef click on it just to be sure, but it still says that it is not positioned. the only thing i have discovered, and quite by accident, is that the custom label sticks, even though jaws does not read it. then, if i press insert+ctrl+g, jaws gives me a list of graphics. the graphics i have assigned a custome label to then show their custom labels, but this is a real pain. the graphics hold numbers, which are confirmation numbers for a shutdown. the same graphics appear if you want to dismount a disk. i suppose, that if there is no other way to do this, the custom label option and insert+ctrl+g will have to do. however, if you have another idea, i would be greatful for it. these must be some sort of funny type of graphics. i informed buffalo about it last year, and they said they would do something about it. however, as we all know, big companies dont pay any attention to this, as we are in the minority, and especially when it comes to things like nas devices. cheers anyway, pat

Just route the JAWS cursor to each of the graphics and label them with insert+G. If the numbers that appear as graphics are displayed in different permutations each time you visit the site, the labeled graphics will be read as they appear, which makes them quite flexible. Custom labels are not used for labeling graphics; they're for labeling controls that JAWS reports as "unlabeled" (E.G. buttons). But these are not unlabeled controls; they're graphics. So use the graphics labeler rather than the custom labeler.

When you get an e-mail message asking you to like a page, is it enough for you to just use insert f7 for the links list, and like it?
Or, do you have to go onto the page and click the like button?
I did both.

Hopefully.
You could point out that you need the Jaws screen reader is necessary to do your job.
You will need someone with administrator rights to install it.
The good news is if you want to save them having to buy Jaws, you should be able to install it under your license.
Then, arrange to uninstall it whenever you leave the job down the road.

a PC they're giving me for my job? Hi.
I’ve just been hired as a customer service representative, a work from home job. For my work, I’ll be using a PC that they’re providing. I’d try to convince them to allow me to use my laptop, but I have to use their headset to do my job, and I suspect it wouldn’t work on my system. I think it uses Windows 10, but I don’t know the version. With all this in mind, I’m hoping to install JAWS on it. I do, however, have some questions to ask.
First, how do I approach them regarding installing JAWS on the PC? I don’t know much about Narrator, and I do know more about JAWS, so that would make me more productive from the start. I would rather not bring up the A.D.A. unless I have to.
My other concern is installing JAWS itself. Since this PC is specifically for work, I suspect they have limited what can be installed on it. What do I need to tell them I need to install it?
I get this PC on Friday, and my training begins on Monday morning. The good news is I have all weekend to sort this out. The bad news is I think there won’t be people who can help me that work there over the weekend. This is why I’m writing this note tonight. I have all day tomorrow to get advice and ideas.
Thanks in advance.
