receiving emails / reading first line
kevin meyers
Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10, Outlook 2016 and Jaws 2021. I know there is a setting in Jaws to turn off the alert when an email arrives in the inbox. I couldn’t find that setting. Where would it be located as I want to turn it off. Also when I go into an email, Jaws automatically reads the first line and then repeats it again. Is there a way to stop that from occurring? Thanks, Kevin

Check to see if Smart Word reading is on. If it is, try turning it off.

I have Jaws 2021, and windows 10. Office 2016
I've noticed, that when I read by word in Microsoft word, that JAWS sometimes doesn't read.
The cursor will move, but it will not say anything. When I read Character by Character it works fine.
Why is that?
Thanks,
Justin

Can you try to reset chrome and try again? Let's eliminate the problem don't lies on the profile of chrome. type in %localappdata%\google You should find a folder call chrome, rename that folder to something like chrome.bak Before you do those changes, make sure chrome is close. After you rename the folder, reopen chrome, and it should start the profile creation all over again. Surf the net as what you would and see if the problem still persists? Regards, Thomas N. Chan

Actually, when Lee Anne did a "Title" command, she said that JAWS only said, "Title is". That shows that nothing was in focus.

Hi,
It just happened again. I used JAWS-T and heard the "title is…. I tried to navigate using H for headings and just heard "h" I tried ALT-tab to switch programs. Again I could not navigate by headings, which I am confident are present. I refreshed the page with no change. After I unloaded and re-loaded JAWS it behaved normally. I am using the most recent Chrome browser and JAWS 21 on a Win10 laptop.

Lee Anne,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I don't know what is advised earlier, but when you could not do anything: try to press the tabkey. Sometimes the focus is not in the webpage and with tab you will land in the page. Or f6 several times is also a option. This will work for me sometimes. I sometimes press f6, then the num-plus to see if the virtual pc cursor is active and if not: I press f6 again. Kind regards, Marten

Try to press F5 to refresh the page. You may also want to give Edge a try, it's very much like Chrome, but the Immersive Reader feature alone makes it a better browser for visually impaired users in my opinion.

Sorry to join this thread a bit late. I too have experienced problems with JAWS interacting with Chrome. The arrow keys work fine to navigate the page but any of the other keys like the number 2 or letter h does not work. My only fix is to close and restart JAWS. Annoying? Yes.

Re: temporary increasing or decreasing verbosity
I can't find any, and that's even in the JAWS Help System.
