JAWS 18 shifting focus on Windows 10
Donnacha McCarthy
Hi group,
I am having an issue with JAWS on windows 10 on my machine, when accessing the desktop or start menu on windows 10 JAWS keeps moving focus on the screen back to the taskbar - I have tried hiding the taskbar in desktop mode via the taskbar settings however this has had no affect. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue or is this just a issue with JAWS 18 on Windows 10? Cheers, Donnacha. -- Donnacha McCarthy +353879038698

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: seeking advice regarding web browsers

Hi, Edge will come on your new machine, it is a part of windows. I've never been in the app store so I don't know what it offers. As for the other web browsers you find them on their own web sites. If when you get your machine you let us know which browser your interested in then people will be able to give you the web address to download it from.

Re: Jaws 2021 and OCR component not install

Hi Jim
I install Jaws first as well. Bill’s suggestion helps.

Re: Jaws 2021 and OCR component not install
James Lockwood
Yes. My computer was online. I have Jaws 2020 2021 and 2022. I use the offline file, and the online smaller file. When I write and click and do OCR with jaws it simply says component is not installed. I’ve even turned off all the security through windows firewall etc. Still, component not installed. I also tried repair. On all three. No difference

Re: Jaws and emogies

Hi, Judy. Because your JAWS is set to either Punctuation some, or none, you aren't hearing the period after the plus sign. It's Windows plus the period. You don't use the plus sign.

Hi all, Does anyone know how to insert emogees into email messages using Jaws? I know Jaws reads them and so if possible I'd love to know how to put them into email messages as writing the word smile or whatever feels weird. If sighted people can put them in then there should be a way for blind people to do it too. Using latest versions of Jaws, Office 365 and Windows 10. Hope someone can help, Madison

Hello Madison.

Haven't really bothered with this (although I don't' really mind inserting the odd one in SMS on my phone) but, you should be able to access the windows emoji keyboard. I believe windows plus . (period) is the keystroke. You should be able to arrow through the lists and categories and select one you want.

Isn’t that the answer to the original question,- It isn't. Here is the original post, verbatim: Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10 and Jaws2021. I use to press control shift N to create a folder on my laptop. For some reason today I cannot. Has the method to create a folder in windows10 changed? Thanks, Kevin I see nothing that even implies this is an Outlook question, and have not understood how Outlook got into the mix. It seems to be a direct statement that the longstanding File Explorer keyboard shortcut for creating a folder, CTRL + SHIFT + N, has ceased working and asking whether it may have changed.

Re: [External] : Re: Creating folders

Hi again. I and another person said ‘ to create a new Outlook folder try Control-shift-E’ after you have selected the higher level folder you want sub-folders under.
Isn’t that the answer to the original question, rather than all this activity on control-shift-N, which creates a new Note?
Just trying to assist. Ken

In MS Word, control-shift-n did nothing.
In file explorer control-shift-n open crate new folder as expected.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: seeking advice regarding web browsers
JM Casey
Well, the Microsoft store may at some point offer third party browsers, as they are now opening to desktop apps, but as far as I know, as of now they don't.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Doesn't matter to me; I hardly use the store at all anyway. You can go to the respective websites of each browser to download them. Firefox can be gotten from mozilla.org. And chrome is, of course, available from Google's website. I really don't think it's a big deal what browser(s) you decide to use. So longa s they're regularly maintained, and it works well for you, just go for it. There isn't really a whole lot of difference between them, especailly the Chromium-based ones that make up the majority nowadays. But even going from Firefox to Chromium -- I don't think that, from the perspective of most users, there's going to be a huge difference in your experience. Small things here and there, sure, and maybe that's why you will move between two browsers on a regular basis.
