Re: trouble installing Fusion 11
Paul Hunt <prhunt1@...>
Hello Jessica. This happened because Fusion 11 doesn’t install JAWS 2018. Just install JAWS 2018. Fusion 11 will recognize JAWS 2018. VFO will release a fusion update to get everything in synch. Paul On Jan 6, 2018, at 8:27 PM, Jessica D <jldail13@...> wrote:

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get JAWS scripts for
iTunes. Anything I find is older and no longer available. Thanks for
any help.

trouble installing Fusion 11
Jessica D <jldail13@...>
Hi, I had to reinstall Windows from scratch last night.
As a result, I lost everything, but that’s ok, because I had a lot on here.
My issue is, prior to the reinstall, I had access to Jaws 2018, through ZoomText fusion 11, but when I tried to install it today, I got jaws 18 instead.
What do I do?
I’m using NVDA 2017.4 at the moment. Thanks for any help and/or advice you can provide, Jessica

Re: Braille Displays and Multiple Languages/Character Sets
Gudrun Brunot
I take your point, Jason. We have at least three main options of use: 1. Braille display as screen reader display; 2. Used as a braille device only for notetaking, calendar entries, phone lists, etc., and 3. As a smart device. I was writing from the perspective of option 2. I do also use braille with my smart phone and my computers, but mainly as part of screenreading.What I am especially interested in is option 3 and how easy it would be to switch input language/braille table, output braille, and what speech synthesizer options might be available.

Sure, you can type on your braille device whatever symbols you want and, as long as you're reading in context, you can read them the same way you could if they were on a piece of paper. But if you need them to also be correct in a print situation, it gets hairy. The Braillenote family is not particularly supple when it comes to braille foreign characters. I have asked HumanWare if it couldn't be possible to have a custom determined keyboard, so you could type dots 1-6, for example, and decide whether you want to hear "a circle," or the corresponding phoneme, (a sound similar to the Italian O), or "a circumflex" or "au" which would make sense for German abridged braille. You're right in as much as you can type a symbol and set language in Braillenote, but only the main ones. What I mean is: Braillenote allows you only to be language-specific (if you select one of the four big ones). But if you want it to be character-specific, you'd have more trouble. I actually managed to set my Braillenote PK so I could load a file in Swedish and read it (no speech) with the correct Swedish braille symbols for the diacritic marks to pop up as I read. It was hard, though, and Humanware reps weren't quite sure how to advise about it. Now, I never will dare to change anything in my Braillenote PK settings, for it was so entangled to get the Swedish characters to show. On a desktop PC, you can set the keyboard layout under settings, keyboard, International (I think) and decide whether you want English and Swedish keyboards as active alternatives, or several keyboards. Chances are that if you grew up in France, you'll know the French keyboard layout, for example, so being able to switch between English and French is a real help. For me, if I need to type French, I use the alt and the ASCII combinations--this is faster, since I did not grow up using the French typing keyboard. Sure, Eloquence may still speak whatever you are reading with English speech rules for your desktop work, but you can live with that for certain situations quite fine as long as you can read the right braille symbol under your fingers and be sure you have the correct symbol in your document, especially if you're going to share it with a visually equipped person I have done some quiet research on this subject, but not been able to find really clear indications about it.

Re: Braille Displays and Multiple Languages/Character Sets
Nermin,
Thanks very much for your input. It is quite valuable. I'm familiar with the large character on the keys type keyboards for those with low vision. I've had way more than one person using a ZoomText keyboard in their various iterations. The sorts of considerations you list are precisely what I was hoping to get out of asking what I asked on several blind/low-vision related lists. I knew that there would be a lot of entangling between the Braille hardware, screen reader or screen readers, the language or languages used, etc., but exactly what those entanglements are is something best offered by those who've "been there, done that" and I am not in that group. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1709, Build 16299 (dot level on request - it changes too often to keep in signature) |

Re: Braille Displays and Multiple Languages/Character Sets
Nermin
Hi Brian,
there are several things to consider when choosing a Braille display nowadays. 1. If the display is going to be used as a stand-alone device, will the language in question be supported by a possible speech synthesizer? 2. Does the screen reader in question have the necessary Braille tables to display said language? Most of the time, you can find Braille tables elsewhere if that should not be the case. JAWS used to habe jbt files you could copy to have them show up in the Braille translation combo box, but more recent versions of JAWS and or NVDA use recent Liblouis translation tables. I suppose the same would hold true if you were using contracted Braille in whatever language, but that's a question of settings and Braile tables again. 3. If the device has stand-alone Braille input, how good is its back translation from contracted Braille into standard writing? Some devices offer a feature where you type contracted words and these are then translated back into normal words. This is very useful if you have to type a lot of text fast. I cannot tell you what display offers the best or good results there, since I don't own anything super recent. Note: I'm mostly refering to devices that are computers themselves here, notetakers with interpet capabiities, etc. When it comes to keyboards, some people may prefer actual keyboards with the symbols on them, provided they have enough vision to make out anything meaningful. There are companies that sell keyboards with larger font sizes for vision impaired users. As for me, I completely killed the US English keyboard and am just using the German and Spanish ones. The US keyboard has all the different punctuation symbols elsewhere when compared to the rest of Europe, so Spanish is very close to the German layout in that regard, just y and z are where you'd expect them on a US keyboard. Another benefit of the Spanish keyboard is that I can produce all sorts of accented letters fairly quickly. I memorised the layout spending some time in Spain, others may have different approaches to multi-lingual input. What language is your client going to use? Braille displays also have dot commands or menus where you can change character sets and Braille tables. Hope that was somewhat helpful. Regards, Nermin |

Re: How can I get to a message balloon that popped up?
Peter Tesar
Hello, When I used Windows 7, the plugging in of a
USB drive gave me a list of options. This was the same as pressing the applications key in My Computer.
Since using Windows 10 I get a Notification whenever plugging in a USB drive: Notification from Auto Play … Select to choose what happens with removable drive
When I press Windows-key plus a, the word “Notification” is frozen on screen.
Using the Jaws say the current line command gives me only the word “Notification”.
When using the Jaws cursor, I cannot find the word “Notification” anywhere on the screen.
When back to the PC cursor, the say current line still gives the word “Notification”. The Windows-key plus v does nothing. How do I do what the notification instructs? Select to choose what happens with removable drive
What do I do with this auto play
notification?
I’m using the latest versions of Windows 10 Home and Jaws 2018. The Ease of Access Center has nothing about the balloon or Notification.

Do you have a Jaws authorization key? If so, does your SMA cover Jaws 2018? If you started using the Jaws 2018 public beta a license key would at first not have been required, but after the official release it now is. When it’s asking for you to run Jaws in demo mode, select to activate the product and follow the prompts to activate via the internet, then enter or paste in your key and if your SMA covers 2018 you will be goog to go otherwise you may have to first renew your SMA.

Hello All I’m using jaws 18 on laptop computer with 64 bits I’m getting this 40 minute mode message asking me to restart the computer. How can I stop this 40 minute mode and activate authorization code ? I download jaws 18 from freedome scientific website 2 months ago and never had this problem when I turned on laptop this afternoon. Addison

Re: Braille Displays and Multiple Languages/Character Sets
Gudrun Brunot
Hi Jason: Actually, I don't totally agree. Sure, you can type on your braille device whatever symbols you want and, as long as you're reading in context, you can read them the same way you could if they were on a piece of paper. But if you need them to also be correct in a print situation, it gets hairy. The Braillenote family is not particularly supple when it comes to braille foreign characters. I have asked HumanWare if it couldn't be possible to have a custom determined keyboard, so you could type dots 1-6, for example, and decide whether you want to hear "a circle," or the corresponding phoneme, (a sound similar to the Italian O), or "a circumflex" or "au" which would make sense for German abridged braille.

You're right in as much as you can type a symbol and set language in Braillenote, but only the main ones. What I mean is: Braillenote allows you only to be language-specific (if you select one of the four big ones). But if you want it to be character-specific, you'd have more trouble. I actually managed to set my Braillenote PK so I could load a file in Swedish and read it (no speech) with the correct Swedish braille symbols for the diacritic marks to pop up as I read. It was hard, though, and Humanware reps weren't quite sure how to advise about it. Now, I never will dare to change anything in my Braillenote PK settings, for it was so entangled to get the Swedish characters to show. On a desktop PC, you can set the keyboard layout under settings, keyboard, International (I think) and decide whether you want English and Swedish keyboards as active alternatives, or several keyboards. Chances are that if you grew up in France, you'll know the French keyboard layout, for example, so being able to switch between English and French is a real help. For me, if I need to type French, I use the alt and the ASCII combinations--this is faster, since I did not grow up using the French typing keyboard. Sure, Eloquence may still speak whatever you are reading with English speech rules for your desktop work, but you can live with that for certain situations quite fine as long as you can read the right braille symbol under your fingers and be sure you have the correct symbol in your document, especially if you're going to share it with a visually equipped person I have done some quiet research on this subject, but not been able to find really clear indications about it.

From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Jason White via Groups.Io Sent: Friday, January 05, 2018 3:59 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Braille Displays and Multiple Languages/Character Sets All commercially available braille displays that I’m aware of can present text in any language supported by the screen reader. The braille display doesn’t handle the different braille codes; the screen reader does so, then sends a dot pattern to the display. Likewise, the input keys on the braille display are read, and interpreted, by the screen reader itself. The braille display is language-independent in so far as its interactions with the screen reader are concerned. Thus, choosing a braille display is independent of which languages are to be used. Assuming that the user in question plans to use JAWS (and you’re asking on a JAWS list, after all), then the next question is whether JAWS offers translation tables for the desired languages. To find out, look in the translation table settings. If different character sets are to be used, it may be necessary to switch between two different translation tables. JAWS appears to support this; on the Focus 40 Blue display that I’m using here, it’s assigned to dots 2-3-4-5-7 chord. I haven’t experimented with the feature, however. As to keyboard layout, you can configure this in the operating system, so you shouldn’t need to obtain a new or different physical keyboard, unless there’s a specific reason for preferring a physical keyboard that has slightly different keys on it (for a different language/country).

If the moderator believes this should not be further discussed on the group, then please post with that request. I am happy to receive input either on the group or via private message or e-mail. I may soon be taking on some contract work where one of the questions is what braille display would be best suited for use with foreign (non-English) characters both from an input and output perspective. Since I am sighted and monolingual this particular need is something that’s entirely in the abstract for me. This is definitely a time where input from those who have already encountered this need and tried things out would be invaluable. I would also be curious as to whether those who are dealing with multiple languages where non-English-language character sets are being used have found it useful to use a language-specific keyboard. It certainly makes text entry easier but only if you are able to familiarize yourself with the layout on said keyboard and get as comfortable with it as the keyboard you typically use. I know that these are available as replacements on laptops so I’d have to presume that the external USB keyboard equivalent is available as well. Also, if you as a multi-language computer user are willing to be a part of an “e-mail circle” about this please let me know. This is a time where more input, and possibly conflicting input, is a very good thing provided you can describe how you’ve arrived at your conclusions. It would be great to be the proverbial "fly on the wall" while those with long experience with this need discuss their experiences with each other.
