I think you mean Insert Space, not V for the first command.
All the best

Hi,
Do the following using the JAWS Layered Command:
Press Insert (JAWS Key) followed by the letter V.
Press the letter O.
Then, finally press the letter D.
Do this while you have the empty document opened in the Acrobat Reader.
Be sure that if you are using Windows 10 that you have installed the latest version of Acrobat Reader DC in the 64 bit version. Also, you need to be running the latest version of JAWS for the best possible result.
You can also find more OCR Layered commands when you Press Insert followed by the letter V, then the Questions Mark.
Another way you could scan the blank document is by running File Explorer and going to the folder where the file is located and highlighting it.
Once the file is highlighted, press your application key and arrow down to Convenient OCR with JAWS to Word.
You also have Convenient OCR available in that menu as well.
Hope all this helps.

Re: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC document says blank

Assuming that you are running a recent version of Jaws and are using Adobe Reader to open the PDF file, Jaws will perform an automatic OCR and attempt to read the context of the document to you.
I know that Jaws 2021 and 2022 will do the automatic OCR. I am not certain how far back you need to go when this feature was built into the program.
I had this problem in the past and FS had me perform a Jaws repair and the problem was resolved. Jaws recognizes that the PDF is a scanned image and attempts to perform an OCR to read the context of the image to you.
Good luck, Mario

JAWS should have prompted you to OCR the document. If it did not, something else is going on.

Re: Managing Bookmarks/Favorites in Edge
Debby Hill
Hi Jeff,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
From what I have found, the context menu--the applications key or shift F10--is your friend. I am going to make an assumption that you can get to your favorites. If my assumption is wrong, just let us know. Anyway, once you have focus on the item that you want to move/copy/delete, go to the context menu and arrow down. You will find the various options there. There is no "move" button, so to move an item hit enter on "cut." Then go to the folder in favorites you want to move the item to and again get into the context menu. Arrow down to paste and press enter. Your item should be moved. I hope this helps. Take care and stay safe! Debby

Type the name of the app or folder in the search
box, when the name appears, use the context key and open file location will
appear in the list of options.
Or you can type run in search and there type
shell:appsfolder enter and a list of apps will appear. use the context key and
open file location is in the list of options.
Shift F10 can be used if you don't have a context
key.

In Windows 10, there is a feature that I really like and that is one has the ability to open a file location where a file is saved from the start menu and in Windows 11, this feature seemed to be found nowhere. I want to know How I can accomplish the same task with Windows 11? Thanks best regards Michael H. Munn

Re: utube app for windows
JM Casey
The OP did not ask for a downloader. That is a very different thing from a youtube app. The request did not go into detail but it sounded like what they wanted was an equivalent to the google youtube app for smartphones, but for pC instead. As such, there are at least browser extensions -- i keep getting offers to install in chrome. I'm sure if they wanted some programme that attempted to download youtube videos to make local copies 9something which youtube is trying to prevent), they would have specified so.

Re: carousel link?
Stan,
This is one of those, "search me," things. I suspect you have tripped over a very recent development in web coding, as new objects are constantly coming into existence, and this is how same is exposed to the screen reader. I really can't say that there is anything clear about why that is, or what, precisely that means. This appears to be it, though: https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_carousel.asp -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: Open file location is now disappeared from the start menu
I'm not sitting at a Windows 11 machine at the moment, but most of my "old favorites" are found by activating the last item in the context menu, which is something like "more actions" (that's probably not the exact wording).
I use "Send to" quite a bit, and that's where it is. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: carousel link?

Are you saying the link you provided to the actual opinion article being announced as a Carousel link? I get to the article, and the photo (for lack of a better description) is a very new thing that's not the classic slideshow, but does move between two images. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.
