I use a wired keyboard and just plug it into the pc.
I can keep the top down.  Any normal, wired or wireless will let you just use a normal keyboard, rather than the laptop keyboard which I've never liked.
You can keep the top down, and even put the keyboard on top if you don't want anyone to see your screen.

I don’t think so, but personally I don’t think turning off the screen is ever a good idea.
Supposing you lose speech one day, and you need sighted help to get it back? What if JAWS is running but the soundcard isn’t working? You then have no speech and no screen.
It’s a dangerous setting in my view.
All the best

                Good morning:
I know in Jaws 2022, there’s a way to turn off the screen on a laptop, (screen curtain). Can this be done with Jaws 2019?
Alternatively, is there software I can install to do this?
Thanks.

In Thunderbird, your IE Favorites are listed separately from bookmarks you add in Chrome.  They are listed under "Imported From IE" which appears in the list of Chrome bookmarks.  Press Alt-F, then B, then I repeatedly until you land on the Imported From IE submenu and use the right arrow key to expand the list.  To add a bookmark in Chrome, press Control-D on the web page you want to add, just as you would in IE and give it a name in the dialog that pops up. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to merge IE favorites with Chrome bookmarks into a single, alphabetized list.  To organize your Chrome bookmarks, press Shift-Control-O, and use the context menu to select the sort by name option.  You can use first letter navigation to locate a particular bookmark in Chrome just as you would in IE to locate a particular favorite.

Hello, everyone.

 

Can someone send me a set of steps for adding bookmarks in the Google Chrome browser?

 

I access my bookmarks list via Alt F, followed by B., but can’t seem to find where to add a bookmark for a particular web site.

 

I previously imported my bookmarks from Internet Explorer into Google Chrome, but only need to add one bookmark at this time.

 

I also am not sure I can access my Internet Explorer favorites any more.

 

I’m using Windows 10 here with Jaws 2022 and, I believe, the latest version of Google Chrome.

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Cynthia,

You don’t happen to mention what application you’re using to prepare the huge document for contract renewal. I understand that the ultimate output will be in PDF format from your subject line but I wouldn’t think composing the original source document using an Adobe product would be ideal. In the event you are using Microsoft Word to compose your source document, you might check out the article “Add hyperlinks to a location within the same document” from Microsoft Support at the following link:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-hyperlinks-to-a-location-within-the-same-document-1f24fc4f-7ccd-4c5f-87e1-9ddefb672e0e

I understand that Word documents can be saved as PDF files from within Word itself and I would assume any links they contain would carry over to the saved PDF file but I’ve never done this myself.

Good luck with your project.

Hello All,

I am preparing a huge document for contract renewal at my university, and they have asked us to use internal links to connect varying sections. I have good help to insert them, but I can’t make those links work when I am trying to use them to navigating. Are they accessible/useable with JAWS, or are they just inaccessible?

I am using JAWS 2022 and Windows 10.

Many thanks,

Cynthia

Hi, Stan. Try the following. It is a little complicated, but it may solve your problem with voicing of rows, headers, etc.

If Emails Read As Tables

1. Open Outlook.

2. Press JAWS key plus six on the numbers row for JAWS Settings.

3. Arrow down to Web / HTML / PDFs, and Right Arrow to open.

4. Arrow down to Reading, and Right Arrow to open.

5. Arrow down to Web Verbosity Level, Medium.

6. Arrow down to Configure Web Verbosity Levels, Right Arrow to open.

7. Arrow down to medium... and press SPACE BAR to open configuration.

8. Arrow down to Table Or Grid and make sure it is unchecked. (It is easier to press the END key and Arrow up to Table Or Grid.

9. TAB to OK, and press ENTER.

Friends: I am using windows 10, j2022 and outlook 2016.

How can I silence  Jaws from telling the details about details such as rows, headers, etc.?

Thanks  for your help.

Stan

No, jaws ocr only works with acrobat. However, you can hit ctrl  + p to print and choose save as pdf from choose printer combo box. Then load pdf with acrobat/ jaws ocr.

Okay,
Thanks,
Justin

It should be available on any version of JAWS starting with 2019. So for JAWS 2022 that would be a yes.

If you are running JAWS 2019 you should be able to use the JAWS screen shade feature.

To toggle the screen shade on or off press JAWS+space where JAWS is your JAWS key (either insert or caps lock), this will enter JAWS' layered mode. Then press F11 or Print Screen.

In most laptops you can adjust the screen brightness by using Fn+up

which is located between the alt and control along side the windows
key just to the left of the space bar.

I would just turn the screen's brightness all the way down.
