Touch Cursor

OK, time for revealing my jaws ignorance again. Using Windows 10 Home 64 bit, Jaws 2018, no touch screen; is the touch cursor usable from the keyboard? If so, when would you turn it on and perhaps

Re: JAWS Reading Multiple Words Together in PDF Documents

Convenient OCR was introduced in Jaws 2013. Using the "Recognize with Jaws" option from the context menu is not what I would call "Opening the PDF". Yes, it will perform the OCR and display the result

Re: Jaws losing focus

I think it very much depends on the computer. I just set up 4 PC's at my store with Windows 10, 2 were new HP Elite Mini Business PC's which came with Windows 7 preinstalled via downgrade rights, but

Re: Making The Use Of Both Hands When Navigating With Jaws To Make A Similar Experience Like Voiceover On The Mac

Hi Owais, I think you are over complicating this. I would just get a Windows PC or laptop and start using it, learn as you go. There is no point in reading 3 books trying to remember everything so,

Re: JAWS voices

Hello all: Thank you for the information. I was afraid that everything would have to be done one word at a time. I am not going to correct thousands of words in the jaws dictionary for a vocalizer

Re: JAWS voices

Hi, Mario. What I am saying is that, even if you put the same entries into the dictionary of the Vocalizer voices as they were in the Elequence voice, they won't be pronounced the same way as they

Re: JAWS Reading Multiple Words Together in PDF Documents

Hi, Sometimes changing the reading order in the PDF will help with Jaws reading words together. Press CTRL + K to go to Adobe Reader Preferences, press the letter R till you hear “Reading”, and

Re: JAWS Reading Multiple Words Together in PDF Documents

Steve, I'm not sure that is any more direct than opening it in Adobe and using the OCR keystrokes. I knew one could do that, but I thought the person was wanting a way to do it from Adobe. I learned

Re: Jaws losing focus

yes, but I think it saves frustration if it wasn't. anyway, I don't understand what's the big deal? it doesn't hurt anything to leave it on, does it?

Re: JAWS voices

Re: Jaws losing focus

Hi, Val. Here's what I do concerning the Lost Focus message. I turn it on for specific applications. I have it off for the Windows configuration, which is what loads when the system first boots up. I

Re: Jaws losing focus

Exactly. You don't even need the message, because you know it loses focus every time you boot up. But it is a personal choice, if you like extra babble, leave it on. All the best Steve

Re: Jaws losing focus

No, I am totally blind. I believe Val may have been talking about me. All it is, is babble. All the best Steve

Re: Jaws losing focus

Hi all, Val, it's one of those personal choice things. Turn it off if it annoys you. It certainly annoys the heck out of me. You really don't need it, unless your computer loses focus all the

Re: Jaws losing focus

Hi, You don't need it on, if you're an experienced JAWS user, because you type, then check. If JAWS loses focus, it will speak the newly activated window usually. It never loses focus completely
