Re: Reading tables with jaws
Mike Pietruk
Given the subject line of this thread:
let me throw out another tables reading question. I regularly encounter tables with blank rows. In order to get past this, it seems that I have to go back to the first or last column of the row I am on to bypass the blank row. Is there a quick way to do this, or is there a means to get beyond the blank row. HOpefully, I amn stating the question clearly enough. |

Re: Reading a long Word document
Adrian Spratt
I’ve never worked with JAWS’ bookmarks in Word, but I just experimented. As you say, the add, delete, etc. buttons show up with the JAWS cursor, not initially with the PC cursor. However, when I typed in an arbitrary name, a single press of the tab key took me, while using the PC cursor, to the add button. The other buttons didn’t appear for the obvious reason that they didn’t yet apply, no bookmark having been created. So, I’d suggest typing in a name again. If a single tab doesn’t bring up the add button, tab around again.

However, that is just for one, temporary marker. Alt+n then k allows you to add multiple bookmarks with separate names in Word documents, and control+g, shift+tab to the list, press b, for Bookmark, tab and either select or type in the name then press alt+g, followed by escape to land on your chosen bookmark.
Lots of keystrokes, but if you want to have multiple bookmarks in a very long document, it works well.

Hi John,
I'd insert a bookmark at the place you want to leave off reading - the option is on the ribbon's insert tab.
When you reopen your document to resume reading, turn on JAWS quick keys with JAWS key+z, and navigate to the next bookmark by pressing the letter b until you land on the one you want.
Cheers,
Ed

I don’t think you can have spaces in your bookmark names. If you do, that may be why the button is not showing as available.

Does the layered JAWS key-spacebar followed by t work for tables in Word? I don’t recall. If it does, after that, you don’t need to press the alt-control keys anymore; just the arrow keys.

However, this only happens to only the subsequent first column titles but reads the other column titles accurately. This confuses my students who are starting to learn tables in MS word.

Hi Madison,
I think JM answered this already. Just use JAWS+the JAWS Cursor key, in other words JAWS+minus on your number keypad or JAWSKey+ whatever is to the right of the letter p on a laptop. Since I don't have the US keyboard layout installed, I can just give you that info, and not to mention the CSA layout, should you be using that. To actually perform the left mouse click, press the button to the right of the NUMLock key, or use JAWS+8 on the number row in laptop layout mode. The JAWS Key is most likely insert if you did not change anything, or it can also be the CAPSLOCK key. Regards, Nermin |

Official Release of JAWS2023 + New Features
Mike B.
Hi All,
Below is all the info about the official release of
JAWS2023.2210.29 features and direct download link.
Direct download link:
JAWS 2023 Features
Smart Glance Often, web page developers will use text or background
colors, different fonts, or certain text attributes to draw attention to text on
a page. For instance,
different fonts or colors might be applied to specific text that is part of a chart or dashboard to indicate the status of an option. The new Smart Glance feature analyzes the page and ranks textual content in reverse order based upon the infrequency of its color, text attribute or font usage on the page. Colors, fonts, or attributes used least will rank highest as potential points of interest, referred to as glance highlights. When a web page first loads, JAWS now announces the
number of glance highlights along with the number of links, headings, regions,
and form fields. In
addition, you can configure JAWS to play a sound to indicate a glance highlight as you navigate by character, word, line, sentence, paragraph, or when reading with Say All. If a page contains glance highlights, the following new Navigation Quick keys are available: list of 3 items
• Move to next glance highlight: Y • Move to prior glance highlight: SHIFT+Y • Display a list of all glance highlights on the page: INSERT+CTRL+Y list end Examples of glance highlights can be found on the Amazon
website. For instance, if you go to Amazon.com and search for a product, the
product search results
page contains several glance highlights for certain areas of the page including "Results," "More results," or "Need Help." This text visually stands out, but since it is not an actual heading, it would not be found when using H or SHIFT+H to move by heading. You can use Y to move through the smart glance highlights, or display a list by pressing INSERT+CTRL+Y where you can select one to move to. Another example of a glance highlight can be found on the
Freedom Scientific home page. If you press Y, you move directly to the text,
"Call Today," where
you will find the main Freedom Scientific phone number. To configure Smart Glance settings, open Settings Center
(INSERT+6), expand the Web/HTML/PDFs group, and then expand the Smart Glance
group. You can then
configure the following: list of 3 items
• Indicate Smart Glance highlights: Lets you determine how JAWS indicates glance highlights. You can choose to have JAWS announce the number of glance highlights when the page loads (selected by default), alert you to glance highlights as you navigate by playing a sound, indicate glance highlights both when the page loads and as you navigate, or turn off all glance highlight indication. • Sensitivity: Set this option to High to increase the sensitivity for determining a glance highlight. With a higher sensitivity, more results are displayed by also analyzing smaller text segments for special text attributes. • Include elements: Lets you choose whether or not links, headings, or form fields are included when analyzing pages for glance highlights. Even though there are navigation quick keys for moving to these specific elements, you may want to include these so you can use a single keystroke to quickly move to all useful elements on the page. By default, only fields marked as invalid or required are included. list end You can also press INSERT+V while on a web page to open
Quick Settings and change the Smart Glance highlight indication
option.
Notification History Improvements
The JAWS Notification History feature was introduced in
the JAWS 2022 June update, and helps you manage the large amount of
notifications that can be received
from Windows and applications on a daily basis. When you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by N, a dialog box opens and displays a history of all notifications received in the last 24 hours while JAWS or Fusion was running. From this dialog box, you can choose to exclude selected notifications from appearing in the history in the future, as well as create rules specifying how future notifications should be spoken or shown in braille. For example, you may want JAWS to announce notifications from an application only if they include specific text, or play a sound instead of interrupting you with a spoken message. JAWS and Fusion 2023 offer several improvements to
managing notifications based on feedback from customers. Some key enhancements
include:
list of 1 items
• Toggle toast notification announcements: Using the new layered keystroke, INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by CTRL+N, you can toggle the automatic announcement of incoming toast notifications, which is a type of notification used by some applications including Microsoft Outlook. For instance, if you receive a lot of emails and you do not want JAWS automatically speaking the notification each time you receive a message, instead of creating a rule, you can use this keystroke to quickly silence all of these announcements. Notifications will still be added to the history, so you can still review them if necessary. Toast notification announcements remain off until you perform this keystroke again, or restart JAWS. list end Note: The INSERT+SPACEBAR, CTRL+N keystroke only toggles the announcement of toast notifications. It will not work for applications that use UIA (User Interface Automation) for displaying notifications. For these applications, you can create a rule through the JAWS Notification History dialog box to mute them, or turn them off through the settings in the application. list of 4 items • Clear notification history: After pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, N to open the Notification History dialog box, select the new Clear history button to delete all notifications from the Recent Notifications list. • Review notification details: Pressing ENTER while focused on a notification in the Recent Notifications list now displays details for the selected notification. These include the notification text, the application where it came from, and the time it was received. • Specify a rule type: When you choose to create a new rule for a selected notification in the Recent Notifications list, you now start in the Rule Type combo box. This new option lets you determine how the original notification text in the edit box directly after this combo box is treated. The following choices are available: list of 4 items nesting level 1 ? Contains - Creates a rule that acts on a notification that contains specific text. For example, if you want to create a rule for a notification from Outlook that contains the word “Suggestion:” at any point in the notification, you could delete everything except “suggestion:” from the notification text in the following edit box ? Begins with - Creates a rule that acts on a notification that begins with specific text. For example, if you want to create a rule for a notification from Outlook that begins with the word "Suggestion:" followed by some specific text, you could delete everything except "suggestion:" from the notification text in the following edit box. ? Ends with - Creates a rule that acts on a notification that ends with specific text. For example, if you want to create a rule for a notification from Teams that ends with the words "Press CTRL+SHIFT+J to join" preceded by some specific text, you could delete everything except "Press CTRL+SHIFT+J to join" from the notification text in the following edit box. ? Matches pattern - Lets you create a regular expression that any incoming notification will be matched against. While the following edit box contains the text for the selected notification, it is recommended you change it to a regular expression using elements from the notification. If you want to use the notification text as is, or parts of it, consider using one of the other Rule Types. As an example of a regular expression, take a look at the regular expression to capture the name of the sender from an Outlook notification: "^New Notification from Outlook, (.*?)," without the quotes. list end nesting level 1 • Naming rules: When creating a rule for a selected notification, you can now enter a name for the rule. In addition, the Manage Notification Rules dialog box now includes an option to rename an existing rule. list end Refer to the Notification History topic in the JAWS Help
for more information.
Solution for Dell Waves Max Audio Issues
Changes were made in the Eloquence, Vocalizer Expressive,
and Microsoft Mobile speech synthesizer drivers to fix increased memory usage
issues caused by
Waves Max audio. This application is often used on Dell computers. If you previously disabled the Waves Max application to resolve these performance issues , you can now reenable it. This is only necessary if you want your computer to automatically begin using a specific audio output device as soon as you connect it, such as headphones. Improved ILM Authorization Access
The file location for the JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion ILM
authorization files have been moved to a location where users no longer need
administrative permission
to authorize on their own system. New Tables Only Option for Smart Navigation
Users are faced with an increased need to work with
complex web forms, tables, and even applications that run inside a web browser.
Our existing Smart
Navigation feature offers a more efficient way to navigate in web-based applications with the Virtual Cursor, as the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW or CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW commands move by control instead of character and word. This makes Navigation such as moving across toolbars, tab strips, and navigation links more like navigating around a desktop application. Currently, the different options for this setting are Controls, Controls and Tables, or Off. This means that you could only activate the Smart Navigation for Tables together with Controls. In JAWS and Fusion 2023, there is now a new Tables option
which only enables Smart Navigation when you are focused inside a table. You can
adjust the Smart
Navigation settings through the Startup Wizard, Settings Center, or Quick Settings. The new Tables option offers the same Smart Navigation experience inside tables as it does when set to Controls and Tables while keeping our regular Navigation outside tables. If focused inside a table, the RIGHT and LEFT ARROW keys
move between columns while the UP and DOWN ARROW keys move between rows. If you
press RIGHT ARROW
to move from the last column in the current row to the first column of the next row, or LEFT ARROW to move from the first column in the current row to the last column in the prior row, JAWS plays a sound to indicate the new row. When focus moves out of the table, the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW or CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW keys move by character or word like they always have. ARM64 Support
Support for ARM64 is now officially provided in JAWS
2023. The JAWS 2023 installer will recognize if you are using a device with an
ARM processor like
the Microsoft Surface Pro X, and will automatically install the ARM version of JAWS. ARM support for ZoomText and Fusion will come at a later date. Following are a few frequently asked questions. Can I use ZoomText or Fusion on my ARM64
device?
No. ARM64 is currently only supported with JAWS. ZoomText
and Fusion (magnification software) for low vision users are not yet
supported.
What device is required?
An ARM64 based device which is a computer with an ARM64
processor. An example is the Microsoft Surface Pro X.
What Operating System is required?
Windows 11 is the minimum supported Operating
System.
What braille devices are currently

At this time, only the Freedom Scientific Focus Braille
Displays are supported. Additional braille display support will be added as we
work with our third-party
partners. What speech synthesizers are currently
supported?
At this time, Eloquence, Vocalizer Expressive, SAPI 5x,
SAPI 5x 64-bit, and Microsoft Mobile synthesizers are supported. Additional

The following features are still under
development:
list of 3 items
• Citrix remote • Convenient OCR from a scanner or camera • Dongle authorization list end What applications are currently not
supported?
While on ARM64 devices, JAWS does not currently support
applications compiled as 32-bit ARM. At the moment, Microsoft still has a few
applications that
have not yet been addressed, but we expect this to be resolved in future updates from Microsoft and Freedom Scientific. The following are examples of these
applications:
list of 4 items
• Windows Mail • Windows Calculator • Windows Weather • Windows News list end What is the recommended version of Office
365?
Office 365 was originally installed on ARM devices as
32-bit. This 32-bit version can experience some sluggishness. For the best
performance, we recommend
installing the latest 64-bit version of Office designed specifically for ARM64 devices. For German braille users, is RTFC available?
Currently, the RTFC German braille translator is only
available in X64 installations of JAWS 2023. If JAWS 2023 is installed on ARM64,
the German braille
translator used in previous versions of JAWS is used instead. Additional Changes
list of 12 items • The Liblouis braille translator used by JAWS and Fusion has been updated to version 3.23.0 and is now selected by default. • For German users, JAWS now includes the RTFC German braille translator for all contracted braille like Basisschrift, Vollschrift, and Kurzschrift (These are the German names for Grade 0-2). This translator is the default when the JAWS language is set to German. • The JAWS and Fusion About box now includes a System type field which shows whether you are using X64 or ARM64. This information can also be found by pressing CTRL+INSERT+V while focused on the Desktop. • In the Outlook Scheduling Assistant, JAWS now reads as expected in the All Attendees field when reviewing the status of meeting attendees. • When encountering an element or entering a region on a web page that has a details relation, JAWS now says "has details" when you first move to the element. You can then press ALT+INSERT+D to access the details. • Addressed an issue with the JAWS Virtual Cursor unexpectedly moving back to the top of a web page on pages containing advertisements that constantly update. • In Edge and Chrome, resolved an issue where JAWS was not properly reading table headers defined by using the "ID" and "header" attributes. JAWS also now properly reads the "axis" attribute. You can find examples of these types of tables on our Surf's Up training pages. • When navigating through a list where the Virtual Cursor is off, such as a list of chat messages in Teams or Slack, list items containing a lot of content are now fully read without speech stopping in the middle of the text. • Removed the Reuters Top News Stories Research It lookup source due to changes to the Reuters website which no longer allows us to retrieve information. • Addressed issues using JAWS with the DVORAK keyboard. • Resolved an issue for Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian users where you could not enter the @ symbol from a Focus braille display keyboard into a Word document. • For Italian users, MathML content is now spoken correctly when the JAWS language is set to Italian. list end Take care and stay safe.

Reading tables with jaws
musiime ralph
Hello,
Am running jaws 22, windows 10 and office 16. When I insert a table in word and set JAWS to read my column titles the following happens; When I press the tab key to go to the second row, JAWS reads the column titles accurately, but when I press the tab key to jump to the third row, JAWS doesn’t read the next column title but instead reads the previous column title in the previous row. However, this only happens to only the subsequent first column titles but reads the other column titles accurately. This confuses my students who are starting to learn tables in MS word. Is there a way other than first tabbing away and pressing the shift tab for JAWS to read the first column titles accurately?
