Re: Webex
Van Lant, Robin
We have used Webex here at work for a number of years. I have had the webex add-in for Outlook, which puts a button on the ribbon to allow me to set up meetings with the click of a button. The meeting preferences window is not very accessible, but it generally only takes the click of the button to add the meeting details to my calendar invite. I also prefer to use the desktop app for Webex in some cases. I find the website more cumbersome, though I’ve had to use it for accessing meeting recordings. You can also have set a delegate, who can then set up meetings on your behalf.
As a meeting host, tabbing is the best way to move around and I think you can use F6 to move around some panes. I don’t find it particularly responsive, meaning that I feel like there is a bit of delay and sometimes focus jumps to where I didn’t expect, but it’s doable. When in the app and hosting a meeting, thee has been a traditional menu bar across the top where I go for starting a recording, ending the meeting, and looking at other options. You can set up a test meeting to give yourself time to explore the screen. The big issue I had not too long ago was that, when I tried to share my screen in a meeting, Webex removed the traditional menus and moved to one of those bars that only shows up when you hover. Nothing I could do with JAWS found them. In that particular case, I shared my screen, then tried to start a recording, but the record button was only accessible through that little set of hovering buttons that JAWS could not find. Also, my meeting attendees told me there was some gray box covering the slide I was trying to show and I couldn’t figure out how to get to it and remove it. I presume it was some sort of dialog box for me as the host. It was rather embarrassing and I’m really glad it was only an agenda slide I had to show.
Whether attending or hosting, I have not found accessing the participant pane or chat easy. JAWS will read out new chat messages, but one can get chopped off if a new message comes in while JAWS is reading the first.
I do like attending from the app on my iPhone, as long as I have an earbud so I don’t have to wonder if they can hear VoiceOver. Only other issue with using the app is that, if I want to submit a chat, I cannot use dictation. Most of my meetings are not chat-dependent, so this is really only a problem if attending a webinar where the only way to ask a question is to chat it. Having a Bluetooth keyboard attached would be a good solution for this.

Greetings everyone,
I will be playing with this tonight, but was wondering if anyone has been successful at using Webex with JAWS. Some of the parts seem accessible, from what I have begun noticing, while others (like scheduling meetings) not so much. I’m looking for JAWS commands. What I wasn’t sure about was whether this was more of a computer or a phone app. I would imagine it can be used on both devices. I literally just downloaded it a few minutes ago, as I will need to use it for some things in a few days and want to become familiar with it. If you have any suggestions or thoughts on the app, I’d be interested in communicating. Thank you. Jim KeyCorp Public This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.

Re: JAWS 2022 provides a way to avoid AutoMigration feature
Steve Nutt
I agree, but my answer concerned Maria’s question that if you install the current beta, it silently migrates. If you are unhappy with that, you can always reset to factory defaults, so you don’t have to wait for that checkbox.

Yep, it’s a bit unhappy at the moment the beta.
I even found an Email where it wouldn’t read the subject line at all in the message list of Outlook 365. Going back to JAWS 2021, it worked.
So don’t try the beta, unless you want to have fun, or know what you’re doing, or at least if you do, keep the 2021 JAWS shortcut handy on the desktop with a keyboard hotkey so you can easily swap.

Re: CRM software

Hi Rick,
If you have a Wordpress Website, I highly recommend Jetpack CRM. It is currently free for a year I believe, and is very accessible with JAWS.
If not, I don’t know, but I integrated it with my web store.

The ability to have notes regarding communication history to help recall last call or message other than saving so many emails just to recall where any discussion is at. Outlook just isn’t proper and with this in mind, Can anyone help me understand which CRM programs work best with Jaws?

Re: items on desktop
Van Lant, Robin
To ad to what Brian wrote, once you type it in the search box and hear JAWS read off the program name, you can hit the application key and select pin to Start or pin to taskbar to find it more easily in the future. I wish there was an option to pin to desktop, but pinning to taskbar is a close substitute for me.

And it is not anything an average computer user would have or know about. Joseph, I don't want to sound overly critical here, but I think as a very knowledgeable power user you sometimes give explanations which are far beyond what a normal computer user would know and while I realize there are other very technical people on this list, it might be a good idea to indicate when an answer or explanation you give may not apply to 90% of computer users. I have been using computers with Jaws since the ending years of DOS in 1989 and the early years of first Windows 3.1 and then Windows 95 and I would consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable, but even I have never felt I needed to set up virtual machines or run virtualization software.

Hi, Virtual TPM requires a virtualization software that can emulate such a chip – so far, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware Workstation Pro include virtualized TPM support, with Oracle looking into letting Virtual Box users specify that the physical (or platform) TPM from the host computer be usable from virtual machines.

Re: Is there dramatic changes to windows10 most recent version
David Diamond
Well, speaking for myself, yes, when calling MS help, I have heard chickens in the background or specifically a rooster. I found it amusing. The main thing was, the agent was not distracted by it. I say this because one time when phoning Amazon around 10 AM PST, I heard children and the TV in the background and could tell the agent was more interested in the children and TV then she was, helping me with a problem. It sounds strange but, the COVID 19 or at least working from home has vastly decreased the wait time on hold with a lot of these places. Now if we could just get them to learn the difference between hockey and football we’d be making leaps and bounds in their education. LOL. I’m trying to get a sporting package and some agents tell me it is available, then accidently hang up on me, or they say it is not available. It all most depends on who you talk too. There is a big difference between the NFL and NHL. The long and short of all of this is, I don’t care who I’m talking too as long as they know what they are doing, are not distracted by other things and are clearly understood and they understand what I want or need.

You all have to be a bit more open mined here. Much of Microsoft support is out of the Philippines even high level support for my Microsoft Dynamics point of sale software was and these were highly trained, competent people. Because of COVID-19 many call centre employees were set up to work from at home and this is not always as easy as it would be here since it is not usual in the Philippines that people have or can afford high speed internet, most just use their cell phone data or maybe have a smarthub of some sort. Anyhow, many companies paid for employees to have a good internet connection so they can work from at home, but this means you may hear a rooster because if you are in in western Canada or the western United States there is a 15-hour time difference to the Philippines, if you are Eastern time it is 12 hours. Therefor if you call Microsoft Accessibility at Noon in the West you are talking to agent at 3 AM local time and this is typically when the roosters start crowing. My wife is from the Philippines and I have been there many times and that is just a fact of life since a lot of people have chickens there even in the cities. Of course it used to be like that here as well but that is so long ago that people in our society are not used to it, instead we are used to sirens at all hours of the day and all sorts of other man-made noises.

Hey Kevin
Just to clarify that this issue isn’t something to do with Office, what result do you get in general when you use F1 to F12? To test, navigate to the desktop and press the JAWS key + F12. Does JAWS announce the time as expected? If not, press the JAWS key + Function key + F12.
If you didn’t have to hold the Function key, then it’s all configured the way you want it and something else is happening in Office.
If you did have to hold the Function key, you might be lucky enough to have a laptop that has a keyboard combination to switch this behaviour; as others have suggested. For example, on my Dell, you can press Function + Escape, and on my work HP, you can press Function + Left Shift.
To find out the model of your computer:
Post the model name/number to the list and one of the crew here will see if a keyboard command exists. If there isn’t one and you do need to go into the UEFI setup, Sieghard makes a great point about the Microsoft accessibility team. You might have more luck the second time around.
All the best and good luck!

If Windows 10 is meeting your current needs, then there is no need to upgrade to Windows 11 yet, even if your computer meets the basic requirements of Windows 11. I agree with Brian, you may want to wait for 6 months at least, before deciding to upgrade to Windows 11. I am going to wait for a year at least. There is no hurry to upgrade. As has been stated by myself and others, as of now, Microsoft is going to support Windows 10, and provide security updates to Windows 10, until 2025. When Microsoft stops its support for Windows 10, you will have to upgrade to Windows 11.

At the same time, that's where you'll ultimately have to go if you stay with Windows. But ultimately and "in the next few months" are very different time frames. One can stay on Windows 10 for as long as it remains in support, but once Windows 11 is known to be stable, I wouldn't recommend that course of action if your computer hardware can run Windows 11. There's just no need to feel any sense of rush. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 It is the function of creative men to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expression that may seem utterly different, and to be able to combine them into some new forms--the power to connect the seemingly unconnected. ~ William Plomer

I honestly think just like with what windows 10 did, we’ll have to except windows 11.

Dave, if the computer is eligible for Windows 11, the user does not have to necessarily accept the upgrade?

so does that mean the upgrade is an optional upgrade, and at some point, do you think it will be forced to upgrade?

Date: Thursday, September 30, 2021, 7:57 AM To: <main@jfw.groups.io> Morey: You do not need to upgrade to Windows 11 yet, even if your computer complies with the basic requirements needed for Windows 11. Windows 10 will be supported until 2025, and maybe for longer than that, therefore, if you do not wish to upgrade to Windows 11, you can wait for a while, until Microsoft has eliminated some of the initial bugs and wholes in Windows 10. Personally, I do not intend upgrading to Windows 11, for a year at least, even though I have a system which does meet Windows 11 basic requirements.

Hi all. Can I get a real good answer as to why I, or really anyone, would want to upgrade to W11? A real good answer. My mind, as weak as it is, just does not see any reason to do so. Any thoughts? Thanks. C -- Morey Worthington .

Re: Question about Windows Defender
Jim Weiss <jimweiss72@...>
The file name is just “hosts”, there is no extension. The file can be found in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

Since the file has no extension clicking on it will not open the file. You must perform an “Open with…”. If you make any changes to the file and save it make sure that it does not save with an extension appended to the file name or you will not be surfing the internet until you correct that problem. The safest way to edit that file is to use a VI editor, but if you aren’t familiar with using VI you also risk the chance of destroying the file as well.

Jim:
What is the full name of the hosts file, and, what
is the full path to the folder, where the hosts file
is located?.
I used Search Everything, to try and locate the
Hosts file, without any success.
