Re: is chat function in Webex accessible?
Debbie April Yuille
Hi
Are you saying that the desktop app is accessible? I was under the impression that WebX wasn’t that accessible at all.
Thanks Debbie

I would suggest using the desktop app. The browser tends to be problematic with regards to accessibility.

Re: bluetooth keyboard question

Amazon has a 30 day return policy which I have taken advantage of at times. It’s interesting because I like the round keys on the K780. I guess it just boils down to preference. My finger tips are round so they fit nicely on the keys.

cardsUnavailable Only available when Lower audio volume of programs while JAWS speaks checkbox is unchecked. User and here are the steps that I took to get to the problem. 1. Press Insert+6 to enable the settings center, 2. I pressed the command CTRL+Shift+D to bring up the user default application. 3. After I bring up the user default application, I typed the word cut in the edit field. 4. After I typed the word cut, I pressed down arrow to search the Speech Cut feature. and an issue started to occur. What did I do wrong? Thanks a lot.

Re: Now, I've Lost Word from my Desktop
Timothy Appleby
Hi there. Here’s how to retrieve something from the ether, especially, an icon that’s usually on the desktop. If it’s not in the Recycle Bin, you can locate it using the search field on the Start Menu, click on the item you have searched, E.G. “Word”, right click on it, choose Open File Location, Word should show up there, right click on that, arrow down to Send to Desktop as a shortcut, boom, you should have Word back on your desktop.
I hope this information helps.

Hi Listers,
It’s beyond my skills to understand why this happens, but Word is no longer showing up on my desktop. How do I get it back? It’s still in my computer, just not where I want to grab it.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Canvas
Marianne Denning
It was accessible in the past but the level of accessibility really depends on how information is added. Any website can be made in accessible when people put in information that is not accessible.

I have been told that I will have to use Canvas for my job soon. How accessible is Canvas with Jaws 2020 and Windows 10? I have no idea about what this program is supposed to do. Any pointers, suggestions, resources, or information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Re: bluetooth keyboard question
Richard Turner
Well, I have the Logitech K480 which has the same keys. Yes, the corners are rounded, but the portion your finger is on is almost exactly the same size as a standard USB keyboard; like the one I am typing on now. In fact, if they are any smaller, I cannot tell.
Personally, without trying it, no one can know if it works for them.

Wow, I was thinking of getting this keyboard. Those things do not get mentioned in any of the product descriptions on Amazon and such. You only discover them when you unbox and by then, you are let down as it was not quite what you had in mind after having it built up in your mind. Round keys, who would have thought?

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.
