Open the JAWS main screen, insert+j on the desktop keyboard. Alt+u, o and then select your sound card.

I have the logitech K780. I do not like it for the
key layout. It has round keys instead of the normal square ones. The function
keys do not have the typical space after each group of 4. The arrow keys are
small and below the shift key. There is not the typical 6 pack
keys. It is well made, very heavy and made with a groove at the top to put a
tablet or phone. It does work with three devices, computer, phone and
tablet. I would like to sell it.

Re: bluetooth keyboard question
Glenn / Lenny
Something to consider as well, find out the actual
measurements before purchasing.
My wireless Logitech keyboard, not bluetooth,
measures about 18 inches left to right and almost 8 inches front to
back.
If it is an inch or two smaller, it may not have
the key separation you want.
This is an older one, but the F-keys are separated
into groups of four, it is exactly like a regular desktop keyboard.
In fact, I think I will look into a bluetooth
transmitter that I could plug into an old desktop computer to turn one of those
into a bluetooth keyboard.

Re: bluetooth keyboard question
Tony Malykh
I assume you are talking about wireless keyboards, not
necessarily bluetooth ones, since I believe there are very few
choices for the actual bluetooth PC keyboards. If htis is the
case, I can recommend my keyboard, it almost fits your
requirements: Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050. Function
keys are not separated into groups of four, but what I've done is
I put sticky dots on the function keys to make them into groups of
four. I put bigger dots on F2 and F3, and I put smaller ones on F1
and F4, so that I can feel the whole group of 4 as a single block
of keys. --Tony

is chat function in Webex accessible?

Anyone figured out how to use chat in Webex? JAWS will read some of the chats as they come in, but I cannot figure out how to get to that area and/or type a message. I’m using Google Chrome to access meetings and JAWS 2020.

Re: How to group by subject - Was: RE: in outlook 2019, how do you delete messages with one subject at once if you aren't interested in them?
Van Lant, Robin
For this JAWS list, I have a rule that puts all the messages in one folder when received, arranged with newest at the top. I then have the columns organized so that subject is the first item JAWS reads, after the read/unread icon. Then, I have Conversations turned on. This puts all JAWS list messages of a single subject into one collapsible item. If you use this view, you also need to go into Outlook options and look for the setting under Accessibility for keyboard navigation and tell outlook not to automatically expand conversations as you arrow past them. I still find that this can happen, especially when I first come to this folder, but it’s not bad. I thought JAWS used to consistently tell me if a conversation was expanded or collapsed, but I’m not hearing it right now and not sure if that is a JAWS change or something I accidentally tweaked. Nonetheless, you can tell it’s a conversation header item If you hear multiple names after a subject line, as it will read the names of those who have contributed to that thread. If you are on the top item in this conversation, hitting delete will delete all the messages in that thread. I get a warning that I’m doing that. If the conversation is expanded, hitting delete on any of the message will delete just that message.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas of things you can do. I’m headed into meetings for the rest of the day, so I don’t’ have time to elaborate more.

A much more efficient way to delete items not of interest is to group by subject. I had this set, but some gremlin has undone it, and I can’t get it back. Any Outlook hot-shot wonky wizards there to help?

IN Outlook 2016, with a message wit the subject line highlighted, applications key then I for ignore to delete the conversation. Also, if it’s regarding a thread via Groups.IO, there’s always the mute option if you have an account which is easy enough to create. Control plus the delete key also works. Cristóbal

I can’t remember who posted this alternative method, but it’s what I’ve been using for a while.
Press the applications key. Release. Press f. Release. JAWS verbalizes, “Messages in this conversation.” Press enter. Shift-tab to land in this list of messages. Control-a for select all. Delete key.
To return to the original message list, press escape, then alt-tab, release, alt-tab a second time.
A little burdensome? Yes, but it becomes automatic.
