Can anyone give me directions on how to put a shortcut on to my desktop? I am trying to create a desktop shortcut for OneNote on my desktop.

I am finding OneNote in my list of programs after hitting control-escape and arrowing down to OneNote, I hit my applications key and do not see an option to add a shortcut to the desktop. I thought this is how I did it in the past.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a Sleep option showing up in your Power Menu?

Good morning everyone, 

Sometime yesterday morning, I went into the VLC media application which is on my desktop, and received a message that said, that there was an update for this program which I installed.  My question here is, I don’t see any options on how too either how too rip or burn a CD, or any option that says anything about how too set a file  bits rate like there used too be in older versions of windows media  player.

If anyone has experience with this newer player, I would appreciate any help and advice on how too go about doing any of these things with this newer version. 

Thanks in advance, 

Al    

Hello,

I have an HP all-in-1.  I find if I use HP Scan and Capture and a lot of patience with the JAWS cursor I can select to scan a document.  Once the scan is complete the buttons and menus are fairly accessible.  I save my document to the desktop in a pdf format and then I can choose the OCR with JAWS.  If you just want to read a document, I find that scanning/capturing with my phone produces good results, too. 

Hope this helps,

Lee Anne

Hi Brian,

The balabolka text program is a console version of Balabolka and can
exactly do what you want.
It can convert different formats to text and also in a batch.

The Balabolka program with the gui you are talking about is indeed a
program that can create audio-versions of texts.

Kind regards, Marten

Balabolka ( http://balabolka.site/balabolka.htm ) is not my "go to" program for this sort of conversion, even though it can do it.  I think of it more when I want text to audio.  But it's certainly a fine tool if you use that feature set.

Hello,

 

Brian, the sleep option does occur in my power menu, and I can put my computer to sleep hitting that option. I presume the power menu you mention is the one brought up when closing a session is attempted. Let me know if the power menu is something else.

 

Dan, contacting Microsoft Disability is a good suggestion. I’ll do that if I don’t get any more suggestions here.

 

Thanks,

Paul

 

I have just tried it and although it is not perfect  in screenreader interaction I nevertheless have just succeeded in converting a load of ePub chapters and word documents into text files. So it is usable at least with a screenreader, and may become very useful as I get more used to using it
The main adjustment is that you have to tab into and out of  and then back into the combo boxes with NVDA if you want to hear any change you have set in the conversion format.
I also ended up converting a lot more documents than I intended as the folder selection process will take some getting used to.
Despite all this it worked so thanks for pointing me to the tool.

I have not tested it in any way for accessibility, but I seem to recall that I learned about this utility on one of the screen reader or other blind-tech-focused lists:

Hello Listers,

With JAWS version 2022.21124, my computer won’t automatically go to sleep when I haven’t accessed it within the Windows 10 and JAWS sleep intervals (I have both set for 10 minutes). This sleep mode worked in JAWS 2021 and previous versions.

To avoid confusion, I’m not referring to manually going to the Settings menu and putting JAWS to sleep for certain applications, such as Open Book, which has its own speech feature. I’m talking about the sleep that comes up when you bring up the commands to either sleep, shutdown, restart, etc.

How can I set JAWS 2022 to make my computer automatically go to sleep like

Version 2021 and previous ones do?
