Hello Bill,

me too followed your steps to benefit from less verbosity.

When I reach step: "5. text processing" I am not able to open it.

but I am always thrown out of the settings page back to desktop.

I had worked with "insert + #6" before but now I am lost.

Any ideas? Latest windows home and Jaws is installed.

Klaus

Hi Bill,

You are a life saver!!

Thanks for that, it worked no problem.

Just in general, does anyone have any thoughts on the rest of it?

Regards and thanks,

Pat

Hi, Pat. As far as turning off JAWS verbalizing how many items in a folder or on the desktop,

1. If you want to turn off this behavior for all folders and the desktop,

2. Press JAWS key plus the number six on the numbers row.

3. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus D to load the Default JAWS configuration file.

4. If you only want to turn off JAWS verbalizing how many items for the current application, skip step 3.

5. Open Text Processing.

6. Open Speech Verbocity.

7. Open Configure Verbocity levels.

8. Press SPACE on Beginner level.

9. Arrow down to Position Information, and uncheck it.

10. TAB to OK, and press SPACE.

11. TAB to Apply, and press SPACE.

12. TAB to OK, and press SPACE.

13. Now JAWS should no longer verbalize the number of items in folders or the desktop.

Hi,

The subject of this email is probably not worded right.

I have had to completely reset my del pc, because of sound card problems.

Since fully reinstalling windows, my sound card is speaking like it has a throat problem!!

I have tried using the windows default, and the realtec speakers.

Anyway, there is no difference.

The sound card looks like it is changing, but there is no difference in the actual sound.

Two days of resetting the pc!!!

Anyway to get to my point:

When I am moving through items in a folder, jaws is saying “1 of 5” or “2 of 5” etc.

Is there some way to turn this off?

I know I asked this before, but I can’t find my own topics.

On this, when I log into the group via the web, can anyone tell me, how to get a list of my own topics?

I can’t seem to find it under my account or something like that.

How can I start a topic online?

Any ideas about the sound cards?

If it makes any difference, jaws wants to add a configuration for “shcore” when I run the settings centre.

I have learned, that this is some sort of “dll” file in windows 10, although why it is using my desktop is a mistery.

Sorry if this is rambling.

Have a good one and stay safe,

Pat

I need to compare 2 documents for differences. I am grading one of the Word documents against the other one. These are not short documents. They are approximately 45 pages long.


I know how to proof read, and I have my own speech settings for it that work well for me. However, in this case I will be comparing 2 different documents. The only thing I can think to do is turn on my proof reading settings and go back and fourth through the documents one line at a time. Does anyone have any better ideas?

I would advise against it, Windows Live Mail has long been discontinued and while I'm sure some people still use it, I think using either the built-in Mail app or Thunderbird (if you are looking for a free email client) is a better solution.

Hi,

I’m not sure. It just didn’t say anything at that particular stage, so I got
sighted help, & got it setup.
It works amazingly well.

Thanks,

Okay, a couple of things. I had been using a Surface Book with Face ID for
a couple of years. I had some trouble with it depending on sun glasses,
angle of the screen, etc. I recently got a computer with a fingerprint
reader and I like it much better. Something that helps with both of them is
to go into settings after the computer is scanned up and do another setup of
your finger or your face while using a better screen reader than narrator.


To the original poster, what was the problem with narrator and the
fingerprint reader. I have set up windows multiple times with a fingerprint
reader and it will always say to lift my finger and to place it back down.
Then it will tell me to move my finger around while lifting it and placing
it.

HI,

We did that already, same results; I can hear the buttons, my fellow tester cannot. Oh and btw, it’s the same hotkey in English as in German 😊.

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

the first thing I would check is to deactivating settings by using the alternate user mode. In German keyboard layout the hot key is JAWS+Space, then pressing Z. This turns this mode on. To turn the mode of press the same hot key again. Perhaps in English keyboard layout there's another hot key, I don't know this. This sets the settings to default values so you can find out if a setting causes this problem. 

 

Good luck

Hi all,

 

I did an accessibility test on the webmail client RoundCube and found something quite interesting. To my knowledge RoundCube is up to date; I’m running all the latest versions of Jaws, MS Edge and Windows. I’m able to see all the buttons on the page and when I list links I get all of my email messages. My testing partner is running jaws 2020.2012 and the latest versions of Windows and Edge, he cannot see the buttons, jaws only reports “button”. Our jaws graphic settings are set the same, to “labeled graphics”.  

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thank you,
