Re: Jaws will not work on some web pages
Adrian Spratt
Hi Curtis and Tony,
To add to Curtis’s excellent questions, one more that might save a little trouble if the answer is no: has your wife maximized the page? To check, press alt-spacebar, release and then arrow up or down through the options. If maximized isn’t grayed out, press the spacebar on it. If it is grayed out, then maximization isn’t the source of the problem.

Hello Tony:
I looked at the page whose link you provided, which was https://sunvalleycc.online.church/. I am running JAWS 2022 with Windows 10 21H1. I have access to the latest versions of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. I also have Mozilla Firefox.
On the page which appears when you activate the above link, none of my browsers will see an edit box when the JAWS command “e” is pressed. However, it is interesting that Forms Mode is automatically turned on. Here are a couple of questions that might help to address the differences in behavior between your and your wife’s computer.
1. Is there supposed to be an edit box or field on the page which comes up when the above link is activated?
2. Are you both using the same Web browser? If so, what browser is it?
3. Are you both running with the same version of JAWS? What version would that be, and if your versions are different, can you tell us what version of JAWS runs on your computer and what version runs on your wife’s system?
4. What about operating systems? Are you both running Windows 10 or is each one of you using a different operating system? If the latter, can you tell us what operating systems?
What we have here is only some of the information we need to attempt to address your issue.
With kind regards,
Curtis Chong

wWe are having an issue with JAWS and form fields on a website.
We are serving at our church and it's online and using an online platform that normally works with Jaws.
For some reason, on my wife's laptop computer, when she goes to press the leter E to go to the fiorm field, it keeps telling her there are no form fields on thsi page.
However, when I run the same page on my laptop, I can press ther letter E to see the form fields and it works properly.
We are wondering if she has a newer version of windows than I do.
What is causing this not to work? On other web pages, she can go to the edit fields.

SAPI 5 Voices For Windows
Annabelle Susan Morison
Hi, it's Annabelle.
I have a CD Rom of Realspeak Solo voices that came with JAWS 4.5, which includes Javier (Latin American Spanish), Tom (American English), Jennifer (American English), Emily (British English), (Daniel (British English), Serena (British English), and Paulina (Latin American Spanish), but I can't get these voices to load into JAWS 2021 in Windows 10, as the disk says they're specifically for 32-bit systems. Is there a CD ROM out there that has 64-bit versions of these SAPI 5 voices?

Alt+2- I'll second this recommendation. Although, if you're working in File Explorer CTRL + SHIFT + N should work, the default of ALT + 2 (on the number line, not number pad) should also also work and save a keystroke. It is possible if someone somehow created a desktop shortcut that uses CTRL + SHIFT + N as its invocation, that would get processed by Windows itself rather than File Explorer. I just tested this out by assigning one of my desktop shortcuts the shortcut key sequence CTRL + SHIFT + N and it always causes that program to be invoked even if I'm working in File Explorer at the time. The processing hierarchy for any keyboard shortcut is Windows, Screen reader (when you are using one), application program. And if either Windows or the Screen Reader processes a keyboard shortcut the application program will never have the chance (ignoring the use of a screen reader pass-through command). -- 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’m not sure if others have noticed this problem. I will say that this does not affect any of the JAWS 2022 betas or the final version. With the latest update for JAWS 2021 I am noticing some extra wording when holding down the alt key and repeatedly pressing the tab key to navigate through running applications. When you first press this key combination JAWS will say “”task switching, running applications list box.” I have noticed this behavior on two different computers, both of which are running Windows 10 version 21 H1. This behavior does not occur if you press and then release alt+tab to open the last application which had focus. I have reported this to Vispero support but they were unable to duplicate the problem.

Re: focus 40 blu braille display not connection to JAWS
Ann Byrne
One thing that can interfere with the Focus display is the windows Braille driver. Under Narrator settings, locate the braille options and be sure the Windows driver is *not selected and that the Focus driver *is! Sometimes this requires a bit of tinkering. You have to choose either the windows driver or the Focus driver; and the Focus is really cranky about it.
