Hi Robbie Curtis,
I tried reading that Laragon menu using Jaws, nvda, and narrator, and only had any success using NVDA.

Good Evening,


Have a question to see if any of you are having this issue. I am trying
to access the menu for Laragon through the system tray. When I do, the
menus are not showing or telling me which item I am arrowing to. It
occasionally says submenu but cannot determine what's inside.


I am using windows 10 and JAWS 2021. Looking forward to any replies and
suggestions.

Subject: Re: slightly off topic: over ear headphones recommendations?

I hesitated to post this here initially as it is a Jaws list. However given
the persistence of interest I did a recent review on a pair of cheap
headphones which would meet all these access requirements.
Review
OneOdio Over Ear Headphones Studio Wired Bass Headsets with 50mm Driver

Occasionally a mainstream product emerges which inadvertently meets all
sorts of accessibility needs. The OneOdio Over Ear Headphone certainly do
that, despite being described as D. J> Head pones, and their capacity for
dual input may make them an important affordable access solution in the
workplace.

Ironically access was not really considered when these headphones were
ordered. They were a Christmas present from my daughter who was most
interested in their noise cancelling aspect. The hope was that this would
protect both herself and my wife from the sound of NVDA and Jaws leaking out
whilst they were listening to the Television.
My deaf ears makes my listening volume loud and can disturb others with
leakage.

Certainly these headphones reduce leakage and I now receive requests to
switch back to them if I am using a different pair.

For general usage they are very pleasant wired headphones , with a good
powerful bass sound. they are light if slightly bulky for portable usage.
They are rated as the number 1 Amazon best seller for D. J Headphones.
They are also very reasonably priced at £34.99.
There are however 3 more important access features of these headphones.

The first access plus is the headphone loudness.
Prolonged loud headphone volume is undeniably dangerous for people with
normal hearing. People with normal or mildly impaired hearing should heed
all the warnings. However for people like me with congenital severe deafness
it is essential to find headphones which can pump out volume. Pretty much
every year I end up giving away headphones or earphones which are useless as
they are just too quiet. Without suitable head pones producing sufficient
volume I would be incapable of typing this review, making a pone call or
listening to my Audio books Radio and Music.
Luckily these headphones are well capable of providing the necessary pump.

The second access capability is that they have sufficient headband tension
to enable precise placement adjacent to or over my hearing aids. Lots of
head pones are unusable with hearing aids as it is impossible to prevent
high pitched feedback whistling without this precise placement.

Thirdly and probably most importantly is that these headphones can be used
in dual input mode.
There are 2 input ports for the headphones.
The right ear receives an old style 6.5 mm headphone plug which has a normal
3.5mm plug at the other end of the cable. This cable is partly coiled to
connect easily over distance too computers and other audio devices.
The left ear receives a small 2.5mm plug which via a shorter cable, connects
to a normal 3.5mm plug. This cable includes an inline remote control and mic
for playing and pausing, answering phone calls etc. This shorted cable is
clearly suitable for connecting to any phone capable of receiving wired
headphones.
I have tested this cable with my Google Pixel 4A and my old iPhone SE first
generation via a lightning audio cable adapter. It worked as expected with
both devices. It also worked with my Victor reader Trek and even paused and
played via the remote inline control like the phones.
It received audio from my blind Shell Classic phone and Evo 10 Daisy Player
but not surprisingly these devices did not respond to the inline remote
control.

What I did not immediately appreciate is that it is possible to have both
these input sources simultaneously connected.
So whilst I am typing this review I am also connected to my Blind Shell
Classic phone. I am able to operate the phone, make and receive calls, all
at the same time being able to consult my computer via my screenreader. If I
need to make notes whilst listening to a call this is straightforward .
In the past this would be a struggle for me. For example I used to do
Internet grocery shopping for my Mother in law, in her 90s. This involved me
ringing her but also having to navigate the Sainsburys Web site on my PC. On
several occasions I resorted to wearing 2 paris of headphones, one on top
the other to try and complete this tricky process.
I would also have found these headphones an invaluable aid in work. In those
days I relied on memory, clattering down notes immediately after the call.
More expensive phone and mixing devices were available , I remember using
such a device at the RNIB but these headpones are a far easier, cheaper
option.

I am, in summary, not sure what there is not to like. These are not a blue
tooth option which is a plus for me because of issues i can describe another
day.

And if you work for a call centre you should talk to your boss regarding a
custom solution where you have Jaws on one ear and your phone call on the

Hank,It sounds like ideally, you want something that would allow you to only
use one ear; and what I remember about the Bose is that it would be very
difficult to remove the left, or position it so your work headset could be
worn.

Loudness somewhat depends on your system and the Jaws setting, but if you
could use a Bluetooth single ear piece, there are lots of choices from
Plantronics.

Good morning Phillip,

I am personally looking for a very loud pair of good earphones so I will be
able to hear jaws loud enough in only my right hand side ear, (I have a bit
of hearing loss in my right hand side ear), because I will not be able to
use my other ear to also hear jaws, because I will need to use my left hand
side ear solely to hear properly incoming cusstomer calls and talk to them
through a separte one ear headset with a mike at an incoming calls call
centre.

Can you maybe please tell me if these Bose QC 35 II headphones are quite
loud? Any help you can maybe give me with this would be so very much
appreciated! Much, much thanks in advance for any help!







Kindest regards,

Hank

It helps to know what you are looking to spend. The options at $50 are a lot
different than the $300 options.

I personally use the Bose QC 35 II headphones. I have had them for about 3
years now and use them daily. I would estimate I wear them an average of 8
hours a day including weekends. I use them for work and personal use. They
have a Bluetooth option, and I do use it, but most of the time I plug them
into my computer or iPad. The battery is supposed to last 20 hours if you’re
using Bluetooth and 40 hours if they are plugged into a 3.5 jack and you’re
just using noise canceling. The foam began coming out of the ear pieces
about a year ago, but I replaced them for about $30.

That's the big problem with this list.  Most discussions lately have been about anything but JAWS.  I counted over 50 messages in the thread about audio description.  And the list owner, if there is one, has never responded to inquiries about how this list is run.  Personally, I don't care whether members go off topic, and I usually enjoy reading these off topic messages, but I think the list owner, if there is even anyone in charge, has a responsibilty to clarify wheterh this is permissible and even consider changing the name of this list to reflect its more general nature. 

Gerald

Most discussions are about JAWS but for those discussions that truly bother you just use the mute option

It only requires you to be flexible
