Re: new to jaws after 10 years using a mac
David Goldfield <david.goldfield@...>
Stephanie, Are you familiar with the JAWS help system? It is incredibly comprehensive. Press insert-J to open the JAWS window. Press f1 to access the help system. You will be in a list of what are known as books and topics. Think of a topic as a chapter within a book. Pressing enter will toggle a book from being opened or closed. A
book must be opened in order to see the list of topics which are
contained within that book. Alternatively, when you are pointing to a book pressing right arrow opens the book and pressing left arrow closes it. When you choose a topic that you want to open press enter. Once you press enter your focus will still be in the list of books and topics. Press the F6 key to move to the topic that you opened. Topics will contain headings and, in most cases, links, just as though you were reading a Web page. Standard reading commands can be used to read each topic.
When you want to return to the list of books and topics press the F6 key again.

Re: Online dictionary recommendation
Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
Hi, Dictionary.com works great. I’m going to paste the link to the word, “grace.” It will give a few definitions, then there is a more button, which then shows I believe 18 or 19 definitions with examples, and yes, there is a lot of extras you can skip through but then it gets down to the origins and so on. My wife and I used to have the Oxford English Dicitonary on CD but it was written for Windows 3.1, and at the time, was a steal at $130. The Oxford English Dictionary had 21 definitions for Grace. So, dictionary.com is great for free. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/grace?s=t

Re: new to jaws after 10 years using a mac

>>there is a setting there to be able to mute the speech
for all apps
That's right. You'll find it in Settings Center under Speech options. You'll hear "less speech options" and it will probably say "speech on demand." Typing the word "less" without the quotes in the search edit field will find this keystroke. Press the space key to set this to "speech mute." You should probably first press shift-ctrl-D after going into Settings Center if you want this keystroke to behave the same way in all applications. As an aside you can go into Keyboard Manager and add an alternative keystroke if you want. I did this and chose shift-alt-M as my Mute/Unmute toggle. Again, make sure you're in the list of default keystrokes if you want this shortcut key to be available in all applications.

I got Wordweb. It’s ok for my phone but I would like entries/definitions with a bit more detail. The JAWS researchit function connects to wiktionary and it’s actually much better. I think Oxford has an app of some kind; not sure of screen-reader-friendliness though.

Re: Notification hell!

Yes, I think the banners stay on your screen for a bit of time before they go away and disappear. For me, I want to hear them but not interfere with what I'm doing so I would rather review them in the action center at my convenience.

Doesn’t the Pro version of Jaws give access to Remote Desktop where the home edition doesn’t? Isn’t the Pro more expensive, so they should give you something not included with the Home edition, I thought.

The type of license for JAWS (Home/Pro) has nothing to do with your version of Windows. JAWS Home is for the home user and the Professional license is for those using it at work. The software is exactly the same and the features are the same. Jim Weiss

Re: I just got a Bluetooth speaker that works great with Windows 10 and JAWS 2020
Kevin Minor
Hi Alison.
I’m using Windows 10, so my instructions are for that.
First, hit the WINDOWS key. This should put you in the search area where you can type something.
Now start typing BLUETOOTH. You’ll get something like Bluetooth and other devices. Hit ENTER on that.
You’ll be where an option is add Bluetooth device. That’s what you want. You might also have to turn Bluetooth on. In this area, TAB is your friend.
I think once you select ADD Bluetooth device, you may have to select Bluetooth again.
Now put your Bluetooth headphones in pairing mode. TAB around this screen for a list of Bluetooth devices. Look for your headphones, and hit ENTER on them. If all goes well, they’ll be connected. Be warned, however. Once paired, all your sounds will go through the phones, and unless you specifically set JAWS for another sound card, your speech will also go through the headphones, and you might think you lost speech.
Hope this helps. Kevin and Jilly the flying doggie

It sounds like a good speaker. Wonder if you can help as you are obviously used to pairing. I belong to a Rock Chir which is currently having to meet via Zoom. So everyone doesn’t hear Jaws nattering on, I am using headphones, but doing so is quite restrictive as some of the songs have moves. Blue tooth headphones would obviously be the answer and I do have some which I use with my iPhone. I’ve no idea how to pair them with a desktop computer however. Any clues on how to go about this please? Alison.
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io>
On Behalf Of Kevin Minor
Hi all.
I’ve finally found a Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t suffer from the dreaded cutting off the start of speech with JAWS. It’s the Tribit Soundmax Plus Bluetooth speaker. I might have that backwards, but if you look for it on Amazon, you’ll find it. It has 24 watts of sound, is stereo, and uses a micro USB cable for charging. The buttons have tactile markings, so it’s easy to figure out. It claims to have 20 hours of battery life, and the advertising says it has a range of up to 100 feet. I just got it, so I can’t say much about how well it works yet. The thing that I’m very happy about is it doesn’t chop off the beginning of JAWS when it starts. I think it’s mainly made for devices like smart phones, but it paired with my Windows 10 laptop with no problem. Oh yeah, it’s waterproof, so some rain won’t hurt it.
I ordered it from Amazon, and with Prime it costs around $60, taxes included.
That’s all from me. Right now it’s charging, but I used it plugged in with no problem, but I don’t know what that would mean for the battery. Tonight I’m going to start music on this laptop, and instead of moving the computer to my bedroom, the new speaker will be used, and it will be really nice to have a lower volume than what the lower quality internal speakers produce. I know, I could just lower their volume in sound settings, but what can I say, I’m lazy.
Just letting you know.
Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard. Kevin and Jilly the flying doggie

Re: new to jaws after 10 years using a mac
Jasmine Kotsay
Hi, There is also a way to change the setting so that instead of doing speech on demand when you press insert plus , then S. You have to go into the jaws settings and find speech options, and there is a setting there to be able to mute the speech for all apps when insert plus space is pressed.
