Re: probilim with jaws 2021

Hi, Amir. If you type Windows key plus R for the Run Dialog, and type JAWS2021 into that field, and it comes up, it's not JAWS and the sound card. It's more likely that either the options in JAWS Options>Basic>Automatically start JAWS are not configured correctly, or you may need a JAWS repair.
Another thing that has worked for some users is the following,
If you type shell:startup into the run dialog, you will get access to your user account's startup folder.
Copy the JAWS shortcut from your desktop into the folder which opens after you type the above command. After this, JAWS should start at login.

You can find two Webinars that were done by the training department of Freedom Scientific on their website under training. There also is documentation that goes along with the webinar that can be downloaded from the same area.
I have heard that Doug Lee has done some scripts but you already have some scripting that was done by Freedom Scientific so if you get the documentation that I mentioned you will find the keyboard commands.
Brian Hartgen is conduction a TEAM webinar but you will have to pay for this training. It does come with the recordings and scripts that he has done. Visit Hartgen.org to find out more.
I’m sure if there are others who have done scripts that you will hear about them.

I’m now getting to learn Microsoft Teams. Are there scripts, special plugins or anything regarding using Teams that could help me? Right now, it seems that a lot of tab stops do not get read. I’m going to look through the JAWS help to see if I can find anything pertinent to using JAWS2021, but any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Re: probilim with jaws 2021

Well, have you tried bringing up your JAWS through the search edit field when you open the Start Menu?
If you haven’t tried that, press Control + Escape and type jaws 2021 and see if you get it to come up.
Then use Insert + J or what is now called the JAWS key + J and open the Options menu, select the Basic setting and tab to Automatically Start JAWS button and open it with either enter or spacebar.
Go through this using the tab and make your necessary change/selection and be sure to select Always.
Tab to OK and then press ALT + F4 to close.

Are you sure you have the settings to start Jaws both at startup and after startup> Under Jaws Options, basic, automatically start jaws: Start JAWS Options dialog‑
If so, you may have a sound card issue so you could go to the sound settings, and in there somewhere is a trouble shoot problems with the sound card.

Fw: Question regarding either of these options.
Glenn / Lenny
Hi,
I would not lose any sleep over having defragged an
SSD, it won't break it if you do that, the truth is, that SSD drives are fast
enough that you won't get any benefit from doing that, and your SSD drive has
many write cycles to it, but they are indeed limited, so a few defrags won't
hurt and may not help.
But if you have deleted a lot of really really
large files, it may help on rare occasions.
Just don't be scared if you do this, thinking that
it would help and worried that it may hurt the drive, it likely didn't hurt
anything.
Here is how it is described by Crucial.com, who
sells disk drives:
Should You Defrag an SSD? If you’ve ever owned a traditional hard drive, you have probably defragged
it at some point along the way. This is because defragging a hard drive is
necessary
due to the way it is built. In recent years, many people have been replacing their HDD with an SSD due to the impressive technology and additional benefits. Those who are used to defragging their hard drives may wonder if it is necessary to defrag an SSD. We answer that question below. Should I defrag my SSD?
The short answer is this: you don't have to defrag an SSD.
To understand why, we first need to look at the purpose of defragmenting a
drive. Defragging ensures that large files are stored in one continuous
area
of a hard disk drive so that the file can be read in one go. Mechanical drives have a relatively long seek time of approximately 15ms, so every time a file is fragmented you lose 15ms finding the next one. This really adds up when reading lots of different files split into lots of different fragments. However, this isn't an issue with SSDs because the seek time are about 0.1ms. You won’t really notice the benefit of defragged files — which means there is no performance advantage to defragging an SSD. SSDs move data that's already on your disk to other places on your disk,
often sticking it at a temporary position first. That's what gives
defragmenting
a disadvantage for SSD users. You’re writing data you already have, which uses up some of the NAND's limited rewrite capability. So, you get no performance advantage whatsoever, but you are using up some of the limited rewrite capability. To summarize, do not defrag an SSD
The answer is short and simple — do not defrag a solid state drive. At best
it won't do anything, at worst it does nothing for your performance and
you will use up write cycles. If you have done it a few times, it isn't going to cause you much trouble or harm your SSD. You just don’t want this to be a scheduled, weekly type thing that takes away from the finite number of SSD rewrites. There are other ways to clean up and increase speed on your computer. There are even reasons for formatting an SSD, encrypting SSDs, and ways to increase storage space on a SSD. They all serve a purpose — there just isn’t a reason to defrag an SSD.

You will always want to do a disk cleanup first,
then do a defrag.
The disk cleanup will make space that the defrag
will write data onto to make a tighter usage of the disk.

Re: Question regarding either of these options.
Gerald Levy
There are a couple of ways you can determine what kind of local drive is inside your computer. If it contains a hard drive, you should be able to feel or hear it spinning when you place your hand or ear on the enclosure. If it contains an SSD, there will be no mechanical noise of any kind because there is no motor or cooling fan. You could also check the properties of your local drive by focusing on it on the desktop and pressing alt-enter to bring up the properties page. Sometimes, you can tell from the properties whether the drive is an HD or SSD. But if you want to be absolutely certain what type of drive your computer has, download and install a free utility called Belarc Advisor that will create a profile of your computer and provide the model number and other information about its local drive, which should be helpful:

Re: Question regarding either of these options.
Bill White
Hi, John.
Method 1 of 4
Check via Task Manager Step 1: Open the Task Manager either by using Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys, or right-clicking on the taskbar and then clicking Task Manager option. Step 2: Switch to the full mode if it opens in small view. Step 3: Under the Performance tab, click on the disk on the left side to know the actual name of the drive on the right side. The name usually indicates the type of the drive (SSD or HDD). If your PC has more than one internal drive, you will have to click on all of them (on the left-side) one after another to know their properties.
Method 2 of 4 Check if your PC has SSD via Disk Management Step 1: Right-click on the Start button on the taskbar and then click Disk Management option to open its window. Step 2: On the left side (as shown in the picture below) of the window, you can see all internal and external drives currently connected to your PC. To know if a drive is HDD or SSD, right-click on it and then click Properties. Step 3: The General tab displays the actual name of the drive which usually indicates what kind of drive (SSD or HDD) it is.
Method 3 of 4 Check if your PC has SSD using File Explorer Step 1: Open the File Explorer and navigate to This PC. Step 2: Right-click on a partition drive and then click Properties to open its properties dialog. Note that if you have more than one physical drive, you need to make sure that you are right-clicking on a drive that belongs to the physical drive that you want to know whether it’s SSD or HDD. Step 3: Under the Hardware tab, you can see if your PC has SSD or HDD. If your PC has more than one drive, the Hardware tab lists all drives and highlights only the physical drive where your currently selected partition drive is located.
Method 4 of 4 Check your PC has SSD via Device Manager Step 1: Open the Device Manager by right-clicking on the Start button on the taskbar and then clicking on the Device Manager option. Step 2: In the Device Manager window, expand Disk drives tree to see the name of the drive which also includes the type of the drive (SSD or HDD).

Hi, Albert. As far as I know, these maintenance procedures must be done manually, unless you schedule them through the task scheduler. If it were me, I would do the disk cleanup, which would delete any unneeded files before defragging. This would result in a tighter defrag. I have also heard that it is unnecessary, and sometimes detrimental to perform a defrag on a SSD drive.

Re: Navigating Microsoft Excel with JAWS 2021
Van Lant, Robin
Sharon, As others have said, there really isn’t a way to do this. I am a project manager and also have a personal task list in Excel. Because of the limitation, I have the following methods I use. Maybe this helps for what you are trying to accomplish.
If I’m working on a project with multiple categories, I will do one of the following three approaches. In each case, individual tasks are on a single row with the task, a Colum for owner, due date, status and notes.
Now, two other ideas come to mind as I am writing this. I don’t have the time to explore them right now, but they could potentially work.
Gotta run to a meeting. Let me know if any of this helps or if you want me to give more on naming cells.
