Moderated JAWS not reading titles in Excel

Gene Warner
 

Hi everyone!

I had JAWS doing this without any problems, then it just stopped doing it.

In Excel I define my column titles by selecting the range of cells that have the titles in them. Then I right click (or press the application key), then I find the define name option and select it, I then put in the name "columntitles" and press enter. I have check the quick settings and the "Monitor Cell Titles Read" is checked. But JAWS does not read the column titles. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi Maria,
That's do to google drive file size scan limitation.
Only files smaller than 100 MB can be scanned for viruses. For larger
files, a warning is displayed saying that the file can't be scanned.

Hi Tom,

You mean you’ve dowonloaded TCA MEDIA DOWNLOADER.

If so, this program works wonderful for me.

When you have the copy of the link from Youtube that you need to
convert, you open the folder that is unzipped, go to the tca media
downloader.exe file and run it and you reach to the edit. Paste the
copy of the link from Youtube, and tab and choose mp3 format, tab once
again and choose the rate of that mp3 - I choosed 320 that is good
quality and tab to download and press enter. When it had been finished
you get a message and you can open the folder that is found at:

Again, it is a wonderful and very good application and I strongly

Hi, Sean and list. Lately I haven't been using Pontes Media
Downloader at all. Instead, I have been using another media
tool developed by someone in Portugal. It is called TCA Media
Downloader, and the current version is available at the link
below. It is a portable tool, meaning that it doesn't need to
be installed, only placed in a folder. One thing about this
program is that, when first run, it will start in Spanish. To
get to where you can change the program's interface to English,

1. Start the program.

2. Press ALT plus M.

3. Press the letter O for Options. You will be in the General
Options.

4. Once in this General menu, TAB once, and press the letter I
for Ingles, which is Spanish for English.

5. TAB to the ACCEPTAR button and press ENTER.

6. Once you press the ACCEPTAR button, the program will tell
you in Spanish that the language has been changed, and that
the program needs to restart.

7. You will be on another ACCEPTAR button, which is equivalent
to an OK button. Press ENTER.

8. The program will now restart in English, and will stay that
way until changed in General Options. The link to download TCA
Media Downloader is below.

All,

The latest version of Pontes Media Downloader media was
working fine until last Friday. Now I cannot download any bulk
media files from Youtube to watch them off line. The first 5
files are downloaded then nothing. I changed the media drive
to a new location and copyed all the files which were found
under the document\Pontes Media folder. I have re-installed
the application as well. I did have a different version of
Java installed which I required for a program to convert
Braille files. Only way I can download files is to go through
the download menu option and select each file one by one.
Using ctrl+a to select everything does not work.

Any one got ideas how to resolve this issue?

Just tried turning off audio ducking and it didn't make any difference.

And the idea isn't to get one to talk over the other, it's to get them to stop doing it, JAWS cooperates, but SAPI doesn't.

No, it is a JAWS setting, and it is in the settings center.
1. press insert+6 to get into settings center 2. expand the user settings group.
3. Arrow down until you find Audio ducking.
Unless you pressed control+shift+D to get the default system wide settings, it will tell you that audio ducking is only available in the default settings. Otherwise it will tell you checked or unchecked.

No it wasn't made with screen readers in mind, though I do find the program to be quite accessible.

If I could turn off audio ducking for only one program, I would do that, but as it is a global setting, I'd rather leave it on.

I liked having the email announcements in another voice from JAWS, but having JAWS read the announcements might be my best option for now.

Hi everyone!

I have a small program that sits in the system tray, also known as the notification area, called Pop Peeper, it monitors my email account(s) and notifies me if there are any new messages waiting. I have it set up to notify me by voice with the subject of the new messages and it uses SAPI 5.

Inter JAWS. If JAWS is speaking and Pop Peeper wants to speak, it does, but JAWS' audio ducking almost mutes it so I miss what it was saying.
Oddly enough, if Pop Peeper is speaking and JAWS wants to talk, it wait's until Pop Peeper is done speaking before it takes over.

So, I'm wondering if there is a way to get the SAPI 5 voice being used by Pop Peeper to wait for JAWS just as JAWS waits for it.

If any one has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Thanks!

If so, this program works wonderful for me.

When you have the copy of the link from Youtube that you need to convert, you open the folder that is unzipped, go to the tca media downloader.exe file and run it and you reach to the edit. Paste the copy of the link from Youtube, and tab and choose mp3 format, tab once again and choose the rate of that mp3 -  I choosed 320 that is good quality and tab to download and press enter. When it had been finished you get a message and you can open the folder that is found at:

I can't help you with your problem because I've never had that problem, but I can tell you that in order to reduce the size of the installer, Vispero has removed the installer's self voiced capability, so you will have to have an external screen reader running to access the dialogs of the installer.

Hi,

So after getting an update message I am unable to get the update
installed. First of all, after dealing with the UAC, the list of
updates shows no option to highlight. However, knowing that something
is there I can press space and even though no detail of the chosen
update is spoken and install button can be pressed. When the Jaws
install window opens you would expect the self-voicing install prompts
to begin but unfortunately not. Even though I have Jaws running at the
time I cannot access any controls on the window and therefore cannot
proceed. Turning Jaws off and switching to Narrator doesn’t give me
access to the window either. On the odd occasion turning off Jaws has
brought the self-voicing window to life, but not lately.

I have had this experience on more than one machine running Windows 10.

Has anyone else had this experience and more importantly been able to
fix it without just having to install a fresh copy each time there is
an update.

Subject: Pontes Media Downloader v3.6

 

All,

 

The latest version of Pontes Media Downloader media was working fine until last Friday. Now I cannot download any bulk media files from Youtube to watch them off line. The first 5 files are downloaded then nothing. I changed the media drive to a new location and copyed all the files which were found under the document\Pontes Media  folder. I have re-installed the application as well. I did have a different version of  Java installed which I required for a program to convert Braille files. Only way I can download files is to go through the download menu option and select each file one by one. Using ctrl+a to select everything does not work.

 

Any one got ideas how to resolve this issue?

Yup! You can leave JAWS running while it is being updated, when the installer encounters a file that is in use because JAWS is still running, it will configure Windows to copy the new file over the old file the next time it is restarted.

I can't help you with your problem because I've never had that problem, but I can tell you that in order to reduce the size of the installer, Vispero has removed the installer's self voiced capability, so you will have to have an external screen reader running to access the dialogs of the installer.

brought the self-voicing window to life, but not lately.

I have had this experience on more than one machine running Windows 10.

Karl,

 

I’ve read through your message more than once, and I’m puzzled. It’s true that the JAWS installer no longer has self-voicing, for which I myself am glad. It was irritating. Instead, on my system, my current version of JAWS continues to operate as the update proceeds. You’re saying that isn’t true for you?

Moderated Anyone using "Webex calling" as a softphone at work?

Van Lant, Robin
 

Hi,

Just got word that my company is moving us from Cisco’s Jabber softphone to Cisco Webex calling.   I’m guessing  this is a newer product, but not sure. We used to use Jabber for calling and instant messaging, but moved  off of it for instant messaging, so that is surely part of the reason for the change.  I’m using JAWS 2022 and Windows 10  Anyone have experience with this softphone and it’s accessibility? Next stop is the Cisco websit, when I have some time to look it up.

Good afternoon everyone,

One of the things that I do when the install of Jaws update begins, is to hit the Jaws key, which is the insert key on your keyboard, is too hit the Jaws key and the B key at the same time, and it will provide you with progress number of percentages. For example, it will display 20 percent. .

Ok, hopefully this might help.

Auto Formula complete will only work if the setting, Allow editing directly in cells, is turned on.
So here is where to find both settings.

Turn on / off Auto Formula complete (check if turned on).
Go to File, Options, then in the list, arrow down to formulas.
Then tab about 5 or 6 times until you get to the auto complete check box.  Again, needs to be checked.

Next, turn on allow editing directly in cells.
Go to file, options, and in the list arrow down to advanced.
Then tab about 6 or 7 times until you hear, allow editing directly in cells checkbox.  Again, this must be turned on in order for the auto formula complete to work.

I have tested this on my system, and if both of these settings are on, then it works just fine.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Robin,

It's probably the formula autocomplete checkbox.  I didn't know, until I just checked, that this feature can be toggled on/off while editing formulas by hitting ALT + Down Arrow.

It is ON by default, and I'll bet at one point an ALT + Down Arrow was hit during a formula editing that toggled it off.

Moderated jaws touch cursor becoming a necesity?

Josh Kennedy
 

Hi

 

I am trying to use an old program from back in 1996 on windowws11. It works just fine but I have a question. Back in the days of windows95 and through Windows XP, I could use the jaws cursor to click unlabeled graphics. These days to achieve the same thing in windows11, the jaws cursor just reads some of the text in the window in the latest windows11.So to get jaws to do what it did in windows95 through XP, oh this goes for NVDA also, the review cursor just reads mostly window text, object navigation does much more… Anyway back to jaws, now I need to use the touch cursor in order to read and click what now show up as buttons in the application window.

I think due to the necessity of the Jaws touch cursor being used more and more, that it should be enhanced. We should be able to have the mouse follow touch cursor and let us click the mouse at the touch cursor position including left clicks, right clicks, click and drag, etcetera. Also since I can do basic scripting but am not advanced enough to do the new UIA scripting, I would like the ability to rename, reclassify, and customize any object found at the touch cursor position, have it saved on an app by app basis, or global basis if I wish, ability to share with other jaws users, I could be wrong but I don’t think the jaws window class reassign dialog works with the touch cursor. Right now to label those unlabeled buttons I would have to do advanced scripting which I don’t know how to do. Because in windows11 what was once “graphic 294” now just shows up as a button UIA object with the touch cursor. Either that or let us force the use of the jaws scan cursor in certain applications but I’m not sure if that would be as effective as the touch cursor.
