Best email client with Jaws

Okay, I'm sick of stumbling around in Outlook. I can't find the number of messages in my Inbox, I keep losing mail, and the whole ribbon just doesn't make much sense to me. Is there another, more

Re: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?

Dave: You have more patience than I. If JAWS does not return within a minute or so, I do a (you should excuse the expression) blind shutdown of JAWS, go to the DESKTOP, where I have already placed

Hi Jim: I find that some functions work better on V16 while others work better on V15. And if you have clients with problems, you may need to test on different versions.

Update on My Focus Issue with Outlook 2013

Yesterday, I reported that when launching Outlook 2013, rather than reaching the Inbox, focus was lost and I had to Alt-Tab away from that window to refocus the Inbox. Since Office 2010 was removed,

Re: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?

If you don't uninstall previous versions of JAWS, you won't even be able to upgrade to Windows 10. That is because Windows Update will stop the upgrade when it detects software that is incompatible

Re: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?

Jim, Pretty much hit-or-miss. It would depend on the Operating System + Video Device Driver + JAWS Version + Program Version + Unknown Gremlins. Very hard to duplicate symptoms with so many

Jim, As to previous versions -- simply because the current install is running fine, it does not mean that it will run so with all applications. I occasionally run JAWS 15 when JAWS 16 is

Re: Installation of Windows 10

If you have uninstalled all previous versions of JAWS, must you still do a repair on JAWS?
