Dear David, Richard, Richie & List:

Old JAWS settings do not migrate automatically, you must select the old settings you wish to migrate as part of the JAWS 2020 installation . It is simple, select the old settings to migrate and press the space bar on the migrate button. Usually only takes a few seconds to do the migration.

Only if you allow it.  After the upgrade JAWS asks you if you would like to migrate your settings from JAWS … to JAWS 2020.

They should. Should being the operative word there.

If not, run the Startup Wizard from the help menu.

That should give you an option to import your settings, I think.

Mine have transferred over between 2019 and 2020. I think I ended up having to run the wizard between 2018 and 2019 but not sure.

Hi!

 

Right now, I am using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and JAWS 2019.  If I upgrade to JAWS 2020, will my 2019 settings automatically transfer into 2020, or is there some sort of action I need to take separately from the upgrade process to accomplish that?

 

Thanks,

Richie

Well you need to find the jaws command key strokes to read the status line and then you can arrow right and left to all the items in the status line.

Yes it used to say that but now it says click here to always preview messages.  Then if I enter on it it takes me to the first message in the list.  Then when I go back to all the messages & press JAWS key plus num pad 3 it says 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.

Denise

If you press Jaws Key + NumPad 3, does it say something like this:

Items in View 67. Unread Items in View 65. Progress All folders are up to date. Connectivity to your server. Connected to: Microsoft Exchange

I think I am missing something here.  I too use my exchange accounts primarily however, when I do open my Gmail account using office 365, it does tell me how many unread messages I have.  Perhaps the query about message count means something else? 

Interesting, I recently set up my ?Gmail account in Outlook and you are correct, it says it’s connected to the server and all that, but it does not give a message count.

Oh well, I rarely use that account for anything since I much prefer the Exchange way for mail, contacts and such.

It works perfectly for me in a Microsoft Exchange folder, but it doesn’t report the number of messages in an IMAP folder.

As Seigart said, you need to use the num pad on your keyboard.  Following his clear instructions nets the result he mentioned, I tested it and got the same message he stated, save I have more messages. 

When I press insert plus the 3, it says""pass key through."

I'm using Jaws 2020, windows ten and Outlook 2016.

Marcia

That keystroke works for me, but when it doesn’t it usually is because Outlook is displaying some message somewhere which you may or may not be able to get to with Jaws to dismiss it.

I used to be able to press JAWS key plus 3 on the number pad & it would tell me how many email messages I have.  I use Outlook 2016, Windows 10 & JAWS 2018.  How do I get this to work again?

Thank you.

OK, I misunderstood then. You should make a suggestion via the Vispero website to allow users to pick and choose their sound files for Jaws events like you can do in Windows.

I don’t use a headset often and on speaker I personally find that the sound is quite OK.

Hi, Sieghard.

I think what the original questioner wanted to know was how to disable the sound that you hear when the autocomplete list is generated but not how to disable Outlook's autocomplete feature, which I agree is extremely useful. I personally find that particular sound to be extremely jarring and harsh on my ears, particularly when I use a headset. I believe this sound is from JAWS and not from Outlook and I personally find it annoying. I don't believe there is a setting to disable that particular sound from within Quick Settings and there really needs to be. The various sounds are located in the folder

C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2020\Settings\enu\SOUNDS

and there are two Outlook autocomplete sound files, one for start and the other for end. A user could substitute their own sound files for the defaults, ensuring that they properly rename them back to the original names of the files to ensure that they still work. It is likely that deleting these files without replacing them would just result in no sounds at all without breaking the Outlook scripts but I haven't tried it to verify.

Not sure why you wouldn’t want auto-complete, I use it all the time since mostly I just have to type a few characters of the person’s name and then I can arrow if necessary to find the person.

But to turn it off just go to File > Options, go to the Mail category and then tab about 40 times, if you don’t want to tab that much you can also press Alt + G when you are on the Mail category.

But of course if you do tab through all these options, you get to know what they are and it’s always good to know where things are and what you can change/customize.

Aad,

I think the program you are writing the message in is doing something
so jaws thins that it must go to the virtual pc cursor. Instead of
enter, try shift-enter.

The mail-program you are writing your message in, is that still Becky
mail?
Do you have this problem in other programs too?>

Regards, Marten
