Hello Gene:
How are you invoking Picture Smart? Is the graphic showing up as something you can jump to using the JAWS shortcut G? If it is, have you tried INSERT+SPACE followed by p followed by c?
Cordially,
Curtis Chong

Subject: Informed delivery
Hi everyone!
I subscribe to the post office's informed delivery service, this service
sends you a daily email with information about mail and packages that
will be arriving soon. In the email are scanned images of mail that is
coming to you. I send these to Picture Smart to find out what's coming
and it works great.
Now here is my question: Currently I have to copy the image to the
clipboard then send the image in the clipboard to Picture Smart, a two
step process. I have tried using other methods to do it in one step but
so far haven't figured out anything that works. Any ideas?
I am using 64 bit Thunderbird as my email client and JAWS 2022 July
update on Windows 10 21H2.
Thanks!

Hi Gene,
That’s a very imaginative use of Picture Smart. I will try it out next time I run into an obnoxious visual CAPTCHA. As you say, results my vary. I have heard sighted people complain that some of these are not very clear visually, so I imagine that could screw things up. But certainly worth a try.
Regards,
David

Hi,

I am wanting to use Firefox and installed the 64 bit version. Does anyone know the shortcut keys? Or where I can find them?

Crystobal, I just wanted to let you know that you can highlight, insert notes, and even copy text in the Kindle for PC app.

Select the text you want to manipulate like you normally would. Hit Control c as if you were copying. It takes you into a dialog where you can highlight, insert a note or press a button for copying text. If you copy text, it gives you the author, title, and page number for bibliographical information as well.

Hi, Gene. If we're totally blind, how do we know when our cursor is on the captcha?

Hi everyone!
It worked for this one but I won't guarantee that it will work for all
of them.
While filling out a contact form I encountered a CAPTCHA and decided to
see if picture smart could decipher what I needed to enter and for a
wonder it did! While on the CAPTCHA graphic I just copied it to the
clipboard and then sent it in to picture smart.
Remember that your mileage may vary.

Hi Mike!
The last time I tried to use that program I found it rather confusing, but that was several years ago, hopefully things have improved since then so I'll try it again. I still lament the loss of Partition Magic, it is in my humble opinion the best partition management software ever written. It and several other programs I can think of that were acquired and then buried by Norton/Symantech and is the primary reason, among others, why I will not buy anything from them.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Gene,
Partition Assistant is a good one to go with.  Below are a couple of emails talking about it.
From: "David Ferrin" <

I had to go to the jaws cursor some but only to select the drive I wanted to
modify. After that everything was in tab order and behaved nicely. It might
be a good idea for me to write up some instructions. The fact is the program
works where partition magic failed me in a couple of places.

Hi David and all.
Same here. You need to use the JAWS cursor. They say you need to select
the disk or drive. Actually right clicking is enough to bring up a
context menu containing items to do with the disk or partition. I'm
thinking we could all give feedback to the developers and request they
incorporate standard list view controls or whatever, just so that we
don't have to use the JAWS cursor. But I'm thinking if we have to use
the JAWS cursor in other applications, what's the point. What do you
think listers? Should we request improved accessibility to the
developers or leave it as it is.

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

Hi!

I need to do some work with hard drive partitions. Does anyone know of
one that is accessible through JAWS?

Thanks!

Wow, that does sound very lazy. Not even something pointing you to a regularly updated web page online?

And then there are developers who are so lazy that produce no
documentation at all. KC Software is one of these, I bought their SUMo
program and was very disappointed to learn that there wasn't a single
word of documentation nor any help file either. :-(

Not ragging on anyone but I swear the traffic on these sortso f lists would be cut in at least half if people actually read docs.
Though of course, the quality fo documentation does vary.

BTW I spelled "calibre" wrong in my initial post -- it's "r e " at the end and not "e r".

Thanks but you don't need to do that unless you are curious for your own reasons. I'll look at the documentation myself. I don't mind as I am one of those people who actually likes to read the instructions.

Hey Gene.
In a word, not on its own, but you can install a plugin to do this. Probably not a good topic for the list, but:

I have not had great experiences with Calibre main programme and jAWS, but there is an add-on for nVDA. The conversion can be done from the command line, but I'm not sure about importing the plugin. There might be a way. I'll see if I can find anything int eh documentation.

Can this Caliber tool remove DRM from some ebooks like Kindle?

I just use the Caliber command line tool to convert .epubs to text

anything and also convert to just about any format you can think of.

Otherwise, Qread will read them on pC, but I don’t use it for much
nowadays. There’s also an MS word etension that will do the trick.
Web-based extensions too but I haven’t had much luck with those and
getting the text to actually read with a screen-reader.

Just be aware that if the ePub book in question has digital
protection also known as digital rights management, Voice Dream
Reader will not be able to access it. Otherwise Voice Dream is my
app of choice for reading ePub content.

Hi Richard,

I’ll do that. It might be a couple of months.

Hi Karen!

OK.  Well, it sounds to me like you will be trying the Asus.  If and when you do, would you please let us know how it worked and exactly which model you got?

Many thanks!

Richard

Hi Richard,

The tech here suggested the Asus. I don’t know if it is accessible. Perhaps someone else can say? We haven’t ordered ours yet.

Karen

Hi Karen!

Wow, there are a lot of routers listed there!  Might you have a suggestion for one that is “best” and most accessible?  I do need one that is dual band.

Thanks!

Richard

You are welcome. I hope you can find one that works.

Karen

Thanks Karen!

Hi Richard,

Here it is. You may need to choose the service you are getting to see what is compatible with their equipment.

https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/compliant-modems-spectrum-network

Karen

Hi Karen!

Soon, I am likely to get Spectrum cable Internet in California (Rancho Cucamonga).  I would probably have this same issue.  Could you please reply with the link to the Spectrum website where they list compatible routers?

Thanks!

Richard

Hi Dave,

We have that same issue with the router that came with Spectrum. The tech who came out suggested the Asus router that they list will work on their website with their equipment. You might want to find out which routers work with their equipment and then find out which one is accessible.

Hi Dave,

I use a Linksys Smart router, but I don't use any Linksys software, I use the web interface, and I find that Internet Explorer works better than the three main browsers for router interface.

Subject: Routers which have an interface which is accessible using JAWS

 

Hello everyone:

 

I need to set up port forwarding for a particular purpose. My ISP provider, is EE. The router's interface is mostly accessible. I was able to choose the device from the list, enter the start and end port forwarding addresses but, I could not find the button to press, which saves the new settings. I called EE and explained my problem. EE sent a technician to my home to try and help me set up the port forwarding function, which is when we discovered there were a couple of buttons on the port forwarding page which had been designed as graphics, which of course,no screen reader cannot speak.

 

Now, I am looking for a router, which has an interface, which is accessible using JAWS. Until 2014, when Annie and I moved to the UK, we always had Lynksys routers. Are the modern day Lynksys routers fully accessible using JAWS, if not, can any list members recommend a router, which is accessible, using JAWS.

 

Any suggestions, must contain both make and model numbers.

 

Thank you in anticipation for any and all suggestions.

Hi All,

My current firm uses Office Online a great deal for their work. I find that my existing tech skills are not enough to help me navigate this platform effectively. I am also unable to open in the One Drive desktop app documents that are opened in Office Online.

Any guidance on the above or leads for using Office Online would be greatly appreciated.

Warmly,
