Hi Karen,

 

If you don't run Jaws from the system tray this is normal, but if you do run Jaws from the system tray it is not. 

 

If you have Jaws set to run from the system tray try unloading Jaws and reloading, now see if you can access the menues by arrowing after pressing, Insert + J.

 

 

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

I must have something set up differently. I can press insert plus j and it brings up the jaws window and reads the current version, like it would as a heading. It won’t let me get to the menus this way unless I press alt h. Is there a setting I need to change in Jaws?

Hi Karen!

You should be able to go to the about JAWS dialog and it will tell you how many upgrades you have left.

1. insert+J to open the JAWS context menu 2. press up arrow two time to get to the about option 3. press enter 4. press insert+alt+W to virtualize the dialog, this makes it easy to browse what it says.
or you could switch to the JAWS cursor by pressing the numeric keypad - key.

Michael, the easiest way that I have found to do that is to make an email template with all of the people in the two or the C C field. Fill out all of the rest of it and then when you put the student notes in there all you have to do is bring up that one template fill in the date and the information about the class and send it and it will send it to everybody. If you need any help just let me know and I will give you my contact information.

Hello all,

I hope everybody is enjoying their Friday so far.

The purpose of sending this email to you just to want to ask y’all a question.

I started working and my job is to tutor students how to use various Assistive Technologies include how to use a PC with Jaws connected to a Braille display.  One of the tasks that I must do in my work is to send out progress note of that student via group email every time when I finish helping a student so this way my other co-workers can continue with the lesson that I started. Well, for some reason I kind of forgot how to put the contacts that I have created into a group in Outlook. Do any of you know the instructions how to do that? I tried various ways to do it, but they are all invalid.

Please help if you know the commands

Best regards

Michael H. Munn

is there a "fn" key on desktops to accomplish the same thing?

There are several that I have found so far, they are, control+L, alt+D, F4,
and if you really want to you can hit F6 repeatedly until you get to the

In newer versions of Edge, control+H takes you to a history dialog, I
always hit 'B' to go to the first button in the dialog then hit enter,
then you are taken to the history page in a tab that will close with
control+W.

There used to be a setting that disabled that dialog so you went straight
to the history page, but apparently Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom,
disabled it.

They put that same stupid dialog in front of the favorites manager. I hate
both of them and wish there was a way to get rid of them.

Control+P takes you to a preview of what you are going to print, if you
want to bypass that and just go to the system print dialog, hit
control+shift+P instead.

I can go in and arrow up and down through the history, and press enter

This is a very, very common convention indeed, and has been for some time now.  If you're not a screen reader user there's almost never a time where the use of the function key row as "actual function keys" just doesn't arise.  On the rare occasions it does, holding down the Fn key and hitting the needed function key on that row makes it act as a standard function key rather than a media key.

There are a few makers, Lenovo being one of them, that allows the media key function to be toggled on/off within Windows using a utility they supply.  Most, however, require the media keys/action keys/whatever the given manufacturer calls them to be toggled off in UEFI/BIOS, which requires sighted assistance since there is no screen reader support before the operating system loads.

So if you had an invoice, you could leave the to field blank put your email in the C C field fill out the subject line as much as possible and the message body as much as possible that way when you go back all you have to do is put who it’s two and then the pertinent information for each one of your invoices most of the work is done it’s just customizing it that you’ll need to do each time you go in.

By ‘Email template’, do you mean you can set up a form or prepare a general email with the info?

Michael, the easiest way that I have found to do that is to make an email template with all of the people in the two or the C C field. Fill out all of the rest of it and then when you put the student notes in there all you have to do is bring up that one template fill in the date and the information about the class and send it and it will send it to everybody. If you need any help just let me know and I will give you my contact information.

Hello all,

I hope everybody is enjoying their Friday so far.

The purpose of sending this email to you just to want to ask y’all a question.

I started working and my job is to tutor students how to use various Assistive Technologies include how to use a PC with Jaws connected to a Braille display.  One of the tasks that I must do in my work is to send out progress note of that student via group email every time when I finish helping a student so this way my other co-workers can continue with the lesson that I started. Well, for some reason I kind of forgot how to put the contacts that I have created into a group in Outlook. Do any of you know the instructions how to do that? I tried various ways to do it, but they are all invalid.

Please help if you know the commands

Best regards

Hello. So I got a new computer with Windows 11, so I have been trying
to figure out the layout of the new laptop and all of that. And
I’ve noticed that when I’m on a webpage and I want to hit insert
plus F7 to go to a links list, it doesn’t work, same with insert
plus F4 to unload JAWS (Not that I would ever actually want to do
that, but I was just trying to mess around with it). It’s like my
function keys aren’t working in the way that I need them to. Like
for example, I believe it is my F5 key that functions as a mute
button right now, but I don’t want that, I want them to just
function as regular F one through F 12 keys. I posted on a Facebook
group, and I was told to do the function key plus escape, and I’ve
tried that and it still is the same way. Is JAWS supposed to say
anything when I perform that action of function key plus escape?
Usually I’m pretty tech savvy, but this not being able to do
insert plus F7 for the links list is kind of baffling right now. I
know I can use the Hey Sharky feature and have it pull up links that
way, but still, I’d like to have the normal key command work.
Thanks.

This is a very, very common convention indeed, and has been for some time
now.  If you're not a screen reader user there's almost never a time where
the use of the function key row as "actual function keys" just doesn't
arise.  On the rare occasions it does, holding down the Fn key and hitting
the needed function key on that row makes it act as a standard function key
rather than a media key.

There are a few makers, Lenovo being one of them, that allows the media key
function to be toggled on/off within Windows using a utility they supply.
Most, however, require the media keys/action keys/whatever the given
manufacturer calls them to be toggled off in UEFI/BIOS, which requires
sighted assistance since there is no screen reader support before the
operating system loads.

Hi all,

I was just wondering,  is there a way to check for updates in Edge or are they just done automatically? I do my best to keep all of the applications that I use up-to-date so that's why I'm asking. Thanks

In newer versions of Edge, control+H takes you to a history dialog, I always hit 'B' to go to the first button in the dialog then hit enter, then you are taken to the history page in a tab that will close with
control+W.

There used to be a setting that disabled that dialog so you went straight to the history page, but apparently Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, disabled it.

They put that same stupid dialog in front of the favorites manager. I hate both of them and wish there was a way to get rid of them.

Control+P takes you to a preview of what you are going to print, if you
want to bypass that and just go to the system print dialog, hit
control+shift+P instead.

Control w doesn't work and neither does alt f4. Or not for me. I try
to control tab into the webpage I opened, but I'm still stuck in
history. How do I close it so I can take another look at the webpage I
opened using history?

I can go in and arrow up and down through the history, and press enter
on the page I want to reopen, but I just can't get to it and can't get
out of history.
