Subject: Re: Screen Shade Question

 

Greetings:

 

What am I missing here? Obviously something<smile>. If you are screen sharing but want the shade on, what in fact are you sharing via Zoom? Audio seems the most logical answer. That being the case, you can do a screen share with audio only and no screen. If I am right, let me know, and I have a procedure in Zoom that will work for you.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong

 

 

Mike:

 

I’ll let you know if the screen shade really does effectively hide the screen during the Zoom meeting session.

 

I believe this was successfully done by others last year which is why I’m going to give it a try tonight.

 

The only thing I don’t know right now is whether to turn on the screen shade before or after I share my screen during the Zoom meeting.

 

Will be an interesting experiment.

Hi all. One thing to consider is whether or not the Screen shade feature only works on a local screen. I saw the initial message indicating that you wanted to use this as part of a Zoom meeting. Sharing your screen may not include the option to hide the information, because of the way Zoom shares the information. I am hoping the Screen shade feature will accomplish what you want it to do in this environment.

 

 

 

I verified this by turning it on through the Utilities menu and then turning it off using the keyboard command. I heard “off.”

 

Curtis

 

 

I believe it does turn it on but there is no verbal confirmation as I tried it after I replied to your first message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Milton.

 

I hope Freedom Scientific eventually will create a toggle for the screen shade function that speaks, so it can easily be turned on and off right from the utilities menu.

Hi,

 

Yes, using Screen Shade will not speak from the Utilities Menu and if you are wanting to be sure you have screen shade on it would be best to use the keyboard command.

 

 

Hello, everyone.

 

This evening, I will begin teaching an online class via Zoom where I will occasionally need to hide the text of a file I will be using.

 

I understand I can do this via the Jaws screen shade function.

 

I can invoke the screen shade function via insert space F11, and when I do this, I’m told whether the screen shade is on or off.

 

This is easy enough to do, but I have also discovered that the screen shade function can be accessed in the Jaws utilities menu.

 

However, when I arrow down to screen shade and hit enter or the spacebar, nothing happens.

 

Am I missing something?

 

I obviously can invoke the screen shade function via insert space F11, but thought it would be nice to be able to do this quickly in the utilities menu.

 

Thanks for any help!

Yes, Curtis.

 

I think the only way to consistently tell whether the screen shade is on or off is via the insert space F11 keyboard command.

 

This is unfortunate, because toggling it on and off in the utilities menu would certainly be easier.

I haven’t used insert-5 for this purpose, but I just did and discovered it has a huge advantage over the insert-3 status line command. It not only lists the number of messages in a folder, but also the position of a particular message in that list. It’s a feature I’ve always missed since moving from Outlook Express to Outlook.

Assuming you are using laptop layout, hit the caps lock key with your left hand and 3 on the num pad or the up arrow with your right hand to read the line. You will hear the number of messages at the end.

Then it comes in handy. I was thinking there might be a chance that it might be able to work on the sample mentioned in the previous posts. If nothing works, then it would be best to use a phone or tablet to read the book.

Do any of you know of an Ebook reader that is accessible and that

Thanks in advance.

It does work although in most cases, it's no longer needed. It's what I used when I was using the kindle app with the accessibility plugin do to the fact that I didn't like the voice that came with the kindle app. The newer format also won't allow you to convert using codex although there are some books that are in the older format. Then it comes in handy. I was thinking there might be a chance that it might be able to work on the sample mentioned in the previous posts. If nothing works, then it would be best to use a phone or tablet to read the book.

Ok. I'm curious, what is the book your wanting to read a sample too? If it can't be read, perhaps it can be converted with codex. It's a long shot but who knows. I'd like to see though. You may have to report it to amazon.

Ok, do you have the newest version of the kindle ap? The kindle for pc ap with accessible plugin is several years old. The newest ap works find with jaws so you use the regular app.

I'm not sure what you mean but the book is screen reader supported and Text-To-Speech enabled. However, I do not like using the text to speech feature with the app.

Hey Everyone,

Recently I downloaded a book sample from Amazon but kept getting an
error of "Secure Storage" which does not allow the sample to become
readable.

Do any of you know of an Ebook reader that is accessible and that
supports the Kindle format? I am using Windows 11 and JAWS 2022.

Thanks in advance.
