Hi Betina,

The email you replied to has a lot of good suggestions in it, and ultimately you might have to call Freedom Scientific. However, years ago I had a similar problem with a display, so that brings to mind two ideas:

You have probably already done this, but have you restarted the computer? Sometimes it takes that to get JAWS to recognize the braille display.

In my case it turned out that my cable was bad. As soon as I used another cable the display connected. Also, if you can I would try a different usb port.

Good luck! Take care and stay safe!

Debby

Hi, all:

I am using a Focus 40 display, 4th generation with JAWS 2022, and Windows 11. I have tried connecting via bluetooth, and it works. But If I try connecting it via USB, it does not work.

Hi,

Are you using JAWS 2022 with your windows 11?

Did you hear a connect sound when you connected the Focus to the computer?

Have you searched the Device Manager to see if it shows up there?

Are you using the provided cable with your Focus? The tip that goes
into the Focus 4 Generation is a micro usb tip.

Hello, all:

I am using the Focus blu 40, 4th generation display with windows 11,
and JAWS 2022. I have connected it using bluetooth, but this is the
first time connecting the device using the USB port. I have tried
going through the JAWS Braille menu, and following the steps to
connect via USB but nothing happens. I have tried turning the Braille
display on and off, and I do know I must have my Braille display
turned on before activating JAWS. Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.

I just did a right-mouse click.  The entire document popped up this time, but still, only a portion of it will print.  Something is wrong with Word.

moderated A Problem with Word I Can't Resolve with JAWS

Rick Miller
 

Dear Listers:

 

Can any of you help?

 

Yesterday while attempting to use mail-merge with the most updated version of Word I noticed that envelopes weren’t printing properly.  Now whenever I try to open any Word document the first thing that pops up is a Resume Reading button which is not accessible to JAWS, as far as I am concerned, and JAWS will not read a full Word document, nor will my printer be able to print out the entire document.  Because this Resume Reading button has no JAWS keystroke, can any of you give me some advice as to how to go about trying to resolve this on my own.

Okay the latest download links for JAWS2021 & JAWS2022 have already been posted today, but below is the most recent download link for JAWS2020 + what's new.  This update is from a couple of weeks ago.
For those who use the Tandem feature, this update is required if you need to establish a Tandem connection with JAWS or Fusion 2022 or higher.
 
Below is the download link + what else is new in this release.
 
 
J2020.2110.3 32 & 64 bit:
 
https://jaws2020.vfo.digital/2020.2110.3.400/01BF761E-C6C6-4387-8E1F-1BBE3BB8EC96/J2020.2110.3.400-any.exe
 
Enhancements in JAWS 2020.2110.3 (November 2021)
 
For those who use the Tandem feature, this update is required if you need to establish a Tandem connection with JAWS or Fusion 2022 or higher.
 
To download the latest release, visit the 
Downloads web page.
You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software.
 
Enhancements in JAWS 2020.2012.9 (December 2020)
 
The following is a list of improvements made between the August 2020 release and the December 2020 update.
 
list of 15 items
• In the 2020 December Update, we have included a fix that will help users of ZoomText and Fusion in the future when they uninstall that version yet continue
to use later versions. There was a problem in earlier 2020 versions where it was impacting shared components with other versions such as the most recent
release. We encourage anyone who still has the 2020 versions installed, to please update  now even if you are not currently using it.
• Fixed a long-standing issue in File Explorer where JAWS would often not announce the correct number of files in the current folder.
• JAWS now properly reads as expected in Skype when moving focus back to the app without the need to first press ALT and ESC.
• When launching the Skype app included in Windows 10, JAWS now loads the correct settings files.
• While in a Zoom meeting, you can now press CTRL+SHIFT+T to find out who is currently talking. Zoom recently added this option with CTRL+2 but we were
previously using it for a JAWS feature.
• Removed the announcement of Tutor Messages in Microsoft Office Ribbons as they were very verbose when attempting to navigate.
• Resolved an issue when selecting all text (CTRL+A) in  a large Word document. This action would cause JAWS to hang for several seconds.
• Addressed an issue in Word documents where JAWS was not announcing indentation increments when pressing TAB.
• Resolved an issue in Excel where JAWS was not reading the selected item in various combo boxes in the Font dialog box.
• Resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading the Auto  Complete options in the Chrome Address bar.
• Addressed an issue where same page links were not always working as expected in Chrome or Edge Chromium.
• Added five new Japanese voices to the Add/Remove Voices utility, which allows you to sample and download Vocalizer Expressive 2 voices for use with JAWS,
ZoomText, and Fusion.
• Resolved an issue with navigating to the configuration editor in Thunderbird Email when running JAWS or Fusion.
• Addressed reports of JAWS performance issues encountered after accessing the Start menu multiple times.
• Updated braille drivers provided by Papenmeire.
list end

For those who use the Tandem feature, this update is required if you need to establish a Tandem connection with JAWS or Fusion 2022 or higher.
 
Below is the download link + what else is new in this release.

Enhancements in JAWS 2020.2012.9 (December 2020)
 
The following is a list of improvements made between the August 2020 release and the December 2020 update.
 
list of 15 items
• In the 2020 December Update, we have included a fix that will help users of ZoomText and Fusion in the future when they uninstall that version yet continue
to use later versions. There was a problem in earlier 2020 versions where it was impacting shared components with other versions such as the most recent
release. We encourage anyone who still has the 2020 versions installed, to please update  now even if you are not currently using it.
• Fixed a long-standing issue in File Explorer where JAWS would often not announce the correct number of files in the current folder.
• JAWS now properly reads as expected in Skype when moving focus back to the app without the need to first press ALT and ESC.
• When launching the Skype app included in Windows 10, JAWS now loads the correct settings files.
• While in a Zoom meeting, you can now press CTRL+SHIFT+T to find out who is currently talking. Zoom recently added this option with CTRL+2 but we were
previously using it for a JAWS feature.
• Removed the announcement of Tutor Messages in Microsoft Office Ribbons as they were very verbose when attempting to navigate.
• Resolved an issue when selecting all text (CTRL+A) in  a large Word document. This action would cause JAWS to hang for several seconds.
• Addressed an issue in Word documents where JAWS was not announcing indentation increments when pressing TAB.
• Resolved an issue in Excel where JAWS was not reading the selected item in various combo boxes in the Font dialog box.
• Resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading the Auto  Complete options in the Chrome Address bar.
• Addressed an issue where same page links were not always working as expected in Chrome or Edge Chromium.
• Added five new Japanese voices to the Add/Remove Voices utility, which allows you to sample and download Vocalizer Expressive 2 voices for use with JAWS,
ZoomText, and Fusion.
• Resolved an issue with navigating to the configuration editor in Thunderbird Email when running JAWS or Fusion.
• Addressed reports of JAWS performance issues encountered after accessing the Start menu multiple times.
• Updated braille drivers provided by Papenmeire.

Udo, before posting I did tests on Firefox, Edge and Chrome.  I've repeated and pasted results here. Does it prove your theory? Edge certainly is chatty. 

Method
On this Canadian government page for Culture, history, and sport, I activated the Discover Parliament Hill link

Results
Here's the speech history for the three browsers after I activate the link. Notice how Chrome and Edge say the context of the source link.

Madison Martin
 

Hi all,
Recently I've noticed that after Jaws reads the subject line of a message in my
inbox rather then just saying the time that the message arrived it now says the
day of the week, then the date and then the time, is there any way that I can
get it to only say the time that the message arrived (like it used to do)? Using
latest versions of Jaws, Office 365 and Windows 10. Really hope someone can help
me!! Thanks Madison

Date: Monday, November 22, 2021, 1:17 PM
To: main@jfw.groups.io
Hi Mark,

the reason JAWS is speaking some strings twice is as follows:

JAWS uses some framework to gather information like the page title.Since
a few years there's a new framework called UIA. JAWS hooks itself in the
UIA framework and gets the information there. But the old one still
exists and this is reason some things are spoken twice. And because UIA
has a lot of information (at least in Microsoft Edge) JAWS is quite
chatty there.

As far as I know there's a setting to disable the new UIA methods. Since
I haven't an English version of JAWS I can't remember the exact name. I
think it was something like "UIA" or "Automation". But if you disable
the checkbox JAWS doesn't announce the UIA messages like the one if a
download was completed.

To proof if I'm right with my suspicion you can use Firefox, since
Firefox doesn't use UIA. Edge is the browser which uses UIA most
followed by the browser which use Chromium as a base (Google Chrome,
Brave and so on).

Hope this helps
Udo
