What are you using to read them? If Adobe, have you set up the accessibility? I’ve found that in Adobe setting it to read left to right and all pages works when a document comes up blank. I have noticed that the longer the document the longer sometimes the accessibility screen takes to come up so I can make any changes.

Hi:
All my pdf files, that do not need to be OCRED by Jaws are reading blank on my home computer. They read fine on my 2 laptops and office computer.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hello, I just upgraded to Jaws2023. In Excel I tried to move from cell a to cell b. When using Jaws 2022 I would use the arrow keys. I now have to use the tab key. Also If I’m in a cell and make a change I use to press enter to close the cell. I know it drops me down to the next row. Now when I press enter I’m taken back to the first cell. For example, I add something to cell a1, tab to cell b1 and add something and tab to cell c1. Then I go back and update cell b1 and press enter. I’m taken back to cell a1 and not cell b2. Are there settings I need to make? Thanks, Kevin

Download latest version of Winamp
From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
I use Winamp to play audio and video files here, and I understand that a new updated version of the app was recently released.
I’m still using version 5.66, because it seems to work quite well for what I need.
I am willing to try the updated version, but whenever I try to do the update function via the update now option on the app, I get a Windows exception handling error message.
So, I have two questions:
1. Is the newest version of the app accessible with Jaws, or would I be best off sticking with version 5.66?
And
2. If the new version is accessible, does anyone have a link to the executable file?
I’m using the latest version of Jaws 2023 on a Windows 10 PC.
Thanks for any help.

Re: chat gpt
JM Casey
I don't remember exactly what the screen looks like, but you type your query
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
into the edit field, and the answer appears. It's structured like a conversation thread so you just keep the session going for as long as you want to. Eventually though if you don't type anything it will time out. It does remember things youv'e typed in previously in the session. You literally can type in anything you want and it will do its best to make sense of it and answer you.

Re: pdfs are reading blank in Jaws 2019 with windows 10,
Karen Reynolds
What are you using to read them? If Adobe, have you set up the accessibility? I’ve found that in Adobe setting it to read left to right and all pages works when a document comes up blank. I have noticed that the longer the document the longer sometimes the accessibility screen takes to come up so I can make any changes.

JAWS Doesn't Read Tree Structure
Ayers, David (ITCS)
Hello,
I use Active Directory to set up and modify network users. When I open AD with my non admin ID, JAWS will read everything with all cursor options. When I open AD using ‘run as different user’, and sign-in with my admin ID, JAWS doesn’t read anything with the regular cursor keys. Sighted help says the cursor does move up and down the list. The JAWS cursor does read the items, however, I cannot expand the tree with the JAWS cursor. Anyone know why JAWS reads normally in one instance and not the other? I am using Windows 10 64 bit and JAWS 2023. Also, If I switch users and sign-on with my admin account as other user, JAWS reads the AD tree normally.
Thanks,
David Ayers |
