Hey guys. My usual method, rather than searching from the “start search” box, is to go into the drive or folder I know the file is located, hit f3 (which really just moves my cursor two tab positions back from the list view) and type in the search term. It works flawlessly, most of the time, and is really fast at least on my internal drives (both HDD and SSD).

Personally, if you do a lot of searching by file name I'd strongly suggest at some point that you download and install Search Everything from voidtools.com.

Re: Color Picker in Word 2016
Mike,
The default "Auto" color is black. If you hit ALT+H,FC [Home Ribbon, Font Color] the first thing you'll hear is, "Automatic, RGB 000," which is black. Unless you change this, you can count on black being what you're going to get. But, if you want to manually set black (which is all zeros for Red, Green, and Blue) then, after hitting the previously noted sequence, hit M (More) which will throw you into the more color picker, then right arrow from the Standard to the Custom tab. In the Custom Tab, Hit ALT+R [Red], and whatever value is there, change it to zero. Then follow that with ALT+G [Green] make it zero, ALT+B [Blue] make it zero. Then OK your way out. This will set the value to black, with not even the vaguest capability for an automatic change. But the only time I've seen any change from black with automatic set is if you paste in text that's another color. I'm using NVDA but it does read the colors. If I down arrow after landing on Automatic I land on the first theme color (white) then right arrowing goes across the theme color row. If you down arrow under a given theme color then it reads out the percentage of "intensity" for lack of a better descriptor of that color, working from a 10%, which is either 10% lighter or darker (announced) and each step darkens/lightens (depending on the theme color). If someone wants me to get into Gradients I will, but please don't make me as I can only describe a gradient as moving from dark to light or light to dark for a given color and getting into all the various top to bottom, bottom to top, diagonal (left or right), etc., gradient configurations could take days. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

Color Picker in Word 2016
Mike B.
Hi All,
I updated to Office 2016 Pro and I'm setting
up the default, normal.dotm, Word file for the way I want it. I've pretty
much have it done except for the text color! This color picker is a
total pain in the A**! LOL
I want to set the text color to black but, I
can find just about any color except black! I can't seem to get any colors
to be read by Jaws on the Standard or Custom pabs and when activating the More
colors button I seem to be back into the same colors loop.
Can any of you give me some tips on navigating
this damn color picker or, is there some kind of trick for getting to the color
black? All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks mooy moocho.
Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Phone Clamp: Re: Accessing video subtitles with JAWS
Glenn / Lenny
I just looked in my Amazon orders, and I purchased
this three years ago and it's 13 dollars.
Here's the link.
It is like a bendable wire conduit with a heavy
clamp for the table or whatever and a lighter clamp for the phone.
The table clamp part can come loose if it is
clamping to a slick surface, and it is extended out all the way, so some duct
tape could help keep it in place.

But, it's a simple matter to use Windows search as well. For instance, if you know you want to search only your C: drive and are looking for something that starts with the name "Tom" and has a plain text (txt) file extension, after hitting the Windows Key, or hopping into the search box, enter: C: Tom*.txt The drive letter designation is only necessary if you have multiple indexed drives and want to limit the search to one of them. Otherwise, all indexed drives will be searched. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

Hello, everyone.
I know this sounds elementary, but what is the easiest way to do a file search on a Windows 10 PC?
I can locate the drive where I think a file is, but can’t seem to get consistent results when I use either control F or control E and then type in the name of the file I’m looking for.
I’m obviously missing something here, so if someone can help re-set my aging brain, I’d appreciate that.
Thanks as always!

I would download from Apple itself. It seems to work better/you’ll also get the little thing which will make sure your software’s up-to-date with Apple products/product is called Apple Software Update. Just download from Apple.

Re: customizing JAWS announcements
Leo
Hi, I believe that what you really want to do is to mute some keys when performing a keystroke.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In order to select what keys should be spoken by Jaws, you can do as follows: 1. Open settings center, and press control plus shift plus d. 2. In the tree view, go to the following location: keyboard, general, manage key labels, and open this last option by pushing space bar. 3. The manage key lables dialogue will pop up, so you can go through a list of keys using up and down arrows. 4. To taggle between speak and mute, hit space bar. 5. The key label that you are looking for is a bit tricky since you may think that the key is control, but in this list, The key that will have a real effect on the control key is under the name ModifiedPrintable. So this key label must be muted If you want Jaws not to speak this key. Best, Leo Bado. "It seems to me that I will always be happy in the place where I am not." Paul Auster. "City of Glass"

I'll have to look back to see if I bought mine on

If I can find them, I'll post a link.
I know I found it by doing a web search for
bendable phone clamp.

Re: Itunes with Jaws 2021
Udo Egner-Walter
Hi Glenn,
you wrote: How will screenreaders do this?No one can see into the future and see what's happening. But you shouldn't be fearful about this. In different post I could read that Microsoft Store isn't as successful as for example the Apple Store or Google Store. Vendors have to pay money to publish their apps in Microsoft Store and not all of them are willing to do this. And even if there's only one App Store to download apps you can be sure the screenreader companies will adapt to this situation. But this is far far away, at least to my opinion. Further you wrote: Another good reason to lean more towards Linux.As far as I know it's hard to deal with Linux as a blind or visually impaired person. I won't say this is impossible but to my opinion you have to restrict yourself in using Linux. Maybe a Mac could be an alternative for you - I know a view people using it or using Windows and a Mac at the same time (me too). Best wishes Udo

Re: iTunes with Jaws 2021
Udo Egner-Walter
Hi Monica, As far as I know Bonjour is a service by Apple. In the web I was reading that Bonjour was made for different devices so they could communicate with each other. And further that not only iTunes is using this service (Quicktime uses this service as well). So if you want to deinstall this service you should ensure that no other application on your computer will use this service. How to uninstall iTunes completely you can read here: But be careful: On this side you can read: Don't uninstall these components in a different order If you plan to install the Microsoft store app you should know that at this time not all things are fully accessible. At this time personally I thinks there's no need to change to the Microsoft app in a hurry. You can still use the old version as long as you can download it from Apple site. Hopefully Apple will work on more accessibility and you can change later. Good luck Udo

Hi Cynthia,
This was a supposed fix in the latest February update, see below: • Resolved an issue where the Avoid Speech Cut Off feature stopped working when using the Sound Cards option in the JAWS Utilities menu to switch to Open your Settings Center default all applications Type, avoid, in the search field and allow a couple of seconds for the results to pop-up. You should have only 1 result, Avoid speech cutoff when using bluetooth.... Make sure this is checked, and if it's already check, you could try unchecking it to see if anything changes as well.
I didn't have any problems with a bluetooth headset but, I did have a problem losing speech all together after this update and checking that checkbox seemed to clear up my loss of speech issue.

Hello Everyone,
I have encountered an issue with JAWS and my Bluetooth headphones again, and it seems to have happened right after I installed the February update to JAWS 2021. I am using Windows 10, and Jabra evolve Bluetooth headphones. Before, my issue was that I lost speech when using zoom, but I managed to trouble shoot that problem by changing soundcards when using JAWS. Now, when I turn on my headset, I lose speech everywhere. Does anyone know anything about this? If not, can I uninstall the latest update?
Many thanks,
