Zoom: seeing the ZoomText screen
Ann Byrne
We are using Zoom to teach students remotely. I use JAWS tandem to follow my students' actions closely. the ZoomText instructor, in a Zoom meeting with her students, needs to see the magnified screen of her students. Zoom does not show her the enlarged screen, so she is unable to see what her students are doing.
Are there settings she can change in order to see the students' screen as they see it? Thx, Ann

Re: Latest JAWS 2020 and continued Outlook 2016 issues
Bill White <billwhite92701@...>
Hi, Alan. Try opening Outlook. Press JAWS key plus V for Quick Settings. In the search box, type table detection
Uncheck this option, TAB to OK, and press ENTER.
See if this allows your email to be read correctly.

I was hoping the April JAWS 2020 update would fix the email issue in Outlook but it did not. Here is an example of how part of an email from my thermostat provider, ecobee, reads:
row 1 of 1
This does not happen with JAWS 2019 or the initial JAWS 2020. I’m not sure when this began but I know the February, march, and April vesions do this. Anyone else seeing this? I’m using Windows version 1909, MS Office 2016 and latest JAWS 2020

Can anyone help me to be able to get this ability to let me know the number of messages in my folders as I scroll down through the folders in outlook express.

Hello, and welcome. In your email to us, the sender says maryjane, but you referred to yourself as maryann. I'm just curious. I hope you find answers to your questions here, and maybe even find some new friends. I usually post answers about things I've heard or experienced with JAWS, Windows and other software, and I hope to be able to help you in the future.

Re: Docusign
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
I just had to sign a document regarding a real estate transaction in two places and initial in a third place and all worked without a problem. Yes, my name and initials were already there, probably because I had to sign many things regarding this deal before and the only thing is to make sure you select a signature style and not the draw option which would require you to draw a signature with the mouse.

Re: jaws 2020 not starting correctly.
Dave Durber
Hello Patrick:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think I may have found the solution to your problem. In JAWS 2020 1. In the "Automatically Start JAWS" dialog box, uncheck the, "Start JAWS at the Logon screen", and set the "Start JAWS after logon: to "Never". Click the 2 OK buttons to close the 2 dialog boxes. 2. Unload JAWS 2020. In JAWS 2018 3. Load JAWS 2018. 4. In the "Automatically Start JAWS" dialog box, check the, "Start JAWS at the Logon screen", and leave the "Start JAWS after logon: at "Never". Click the 2 OK buttons to close the 2 dialog boxes. 5. Unload JAWS 2018. Back in JAWS 2020 6. Load JAWS 2020. 7. In the "Automatically Start JAWS" dialog box, leave the, "Start JAWS at the Logon screen", unchecked, and set the "Start JAWS after logon: to "always". Click the 2 OK buttons to close the 2 dialog boxes. 8. restart your computer. Hopefully, after you have entered your password, and pressed the OK button to proceed, (that is, if you use the logon screen), JAWS 2020 will start correctly, after the start up procedure has been completed. When I looked in the "Automatically Start Jaws" dialog boxes for both JAWS 2018 and 2020, I found the "Start Jaws after logon for this user", was set to "Always", in both versions, why this should b, I do not know. I will be very interested to hear from you if the above procedure solves your problem. Dave Durber

Jaws2020 Update Build 2004.66.40 Update Download + What's New
Mike B.
Hi All,
Below is the download link for both 32 & 64 bit systems + what's new in
this release.
Announce Group Changes in Outlook 365 Message Lists
JAWS can now indicate group changes, such as dates or conversations, as you
navigate through message lists. For example, if your Outlook view
settings
are set to show messages by date and you are navigating a folder containing messages covering multiple days, when you move to the first message in the new date group, you will hear announcements such as "today," "yesterday," "last week," or "two weeks ago." To turn on this feature, open Quick Settings (INSERT+V) while in Outlook and select the Announce Group Change in Lists check box. New Focus Braille Display Commands for Adjusting Speech Rate
You can now use the following controls on the Focus braille display to
adjust the speech rate.
list of 4 items
• Temporarily increase speech rate: LEFT or RIGHT SHIFT+RIGHT SELECT CHORD • Temporarily decrease speech rate: LEFT or RIGHT SHIFT+LEFT SELECT CHORD • Permanently increase speech rate: RIGHT SELECT CHORD • Permanently decrease speech rate: LEFT SELECT CHORD list end New Dialog Box for Troubleshooting Remote Access
JAWS and Fusion now includes a new Remote Desktop dialog box to help
troubleshoot remote access connection issues. It can be accessed from the
Options
menu in JAWS or the Support submenu in the Fusion main menu. From this dialog box, you can: list of 4 items
• See whether or not your Freedom Scientific software is authorized for remote access. • Check the status for each supported remote channel (Remote Desktop, Citrix, or VMWare Horizon). • Repair any channel that is reported to not be working. • Test the connection between the client and server/remote computers. list end Other Changes
list of 8 items • If Mouse Echo is enabled and you move over text with the mouse, JAWS or Fusion now only reads the current line as expected instead of reading everything on the screen. • Book nine of the JAWS Basic Training, Surf's Up, Surfing the Internet with JAWS, an Introduction, has been updated to include links to go directly to the Surf's Up web pages. To get the latest book, select Training from the JAWS Help menu to open the Training Table of Contents in FSReader, select the link to open book nine, and then press ENTER when prompted to install the updated book. • Added a new Quick Settings (INSERT+V) option called List Nesting Level Announcement which is off by default and available in Chrome and Edge Chromiun. Use this option to enable the announcement of nesting levels for list items in edit fields on web pages like Google Docs. • Resolved an issue where JAWS would sometimes exit Forms Mode when pressing ENTER in some multiline edit fields. • In response to customer feedback, disabled the announcement of inserted and deleted text on web pages. • In Microsoft Teams, when you press CTRL+PERIOD to display Teams hot keys, the Virtual Cursor is now active so you can review the keystrokes as if you were on a web page. • Addressed a reported issue in the retail version of Excel 2016 where JAWS would become sluggish after using Paste Special. • Added updated braille drivers from Humanware containing performance improvements when using their line of displays with JAWS and Fusion. list end 2004.66.400/FAE8BEBF-943F-4773-8446-17D7524E0F16/J2020.2004.66.400-any.exe

and the April 2020 update.

Re: Select Google Chrome from desktop and stays on desktop
A perfect time to get in touch with Freedom Scientific tech support. Even if the issue does lie with Chrome, you can be certain that it's probably not only you it's happened to. Getting a "critical mass" of reports is what gets the ball rolling between companies such as Freedom Scientific and Google on issues such as this.
