hi,

Thanks to those who answered my earlier question about windows 10 versus Windows 11. I will be sticking with windows 10, thanks to your unanimous opinions!

when I last used a PC, I was using Internet explorer. That is no longer an option. I am curious as to which Web browsers people recommend for best use with Jaws.

Thanks in advance for any insights. Keith

Tina,
You can make maximized the permanent setting for Microsoft Edge by going to
the icon on the desktop, pressing alt-enter for properties, then tabbing
past the shortcut option to "Run as..." Use the arrow keys to find maximize
and press the spacebar. Then tab to Apply. You'll be told you can't because
you need administrative rights, but press spacebar again and you'll get
them! Then press spacebar on Apply again, then tab to Okay.

Thanks Adrian, for suggesting to check the maximazation. I think that fixed
it. I'd completely forgotten, I so rarely have to do that. Will try and
remember with this site.

Hi Annabelle,

 

I too have the old real speak voices cd which jaws used to ship with their older versions of jaws, I still use those voices on my windows 64bit system since the ones shipped on cd although only 32bit they could be used with third party software, so I often use those voices when playing audio games since I prefer those voices to the built in Microsoft voices. If you want the new 64bit voices for jaws you can download these   directly from the freedom scientific website, the newer 64bit voices I believe are called ‘Vocaliser voices’. I’ll put the link below, the voices downloaded from their site though can only be used with jaws , but those are the voices I’d recommend you use if you just want to add additional voices to your installation of Jaws.  If you do however specifically  want to use the real speak voices from your cd I do have a modified installer which will let you install them on a 64bit machine, this is a modified version of the installer though so not an official release from jaws  but something just created by a jaws user. Since it uses the voices from  your CD these are still only 32bit voices and are now somewhat old and dated  so they won’t sound as good as the newer vocaliser  voices. If you do want the installer, To avoid breaking any list rules I can send the modified installer but it won’t actually include any   of the real speak voices, so it’s just the modified installation file itself without any voices, therefore you’ll need the actual CD itself to get the voices from, as without the CD the installer won’t do anything as previously mentioned the installation file doesn’t contain any voices at all. anyway, like I said earlier the best thing if you want just the most up to date voices for Jaws is to use the ones from their website, the link to that is below you just need to select the link that is appropriate to your specific version  of Jaws

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?

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

Subject: Jaws wil not work on some web pages



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.



Here is the website we are having issues with.
