Object state announce
Dale Heltzer
I’m drawing a blank on how to change how JFW announces the state of anobject – selected, checked etc – state, object name, or object name, state. Help? TIA

formatting in Word 2016
Lauren Snyder
Hi:
Is there a way you can see the codes like you used in the very old versions of Word so you can know how to correct formatting issues so you can know how to make sure the document is formatted independently while using Jaws 18 and Word 2016?
Thank you.
Regards, Lauren

Re: Recommendation for laptop to use with JAWS
Gezim Rexha
Thank you all for your replies. I remember having read on this list something about changing some function keys or so when buying a computer. Is that also something which should be considered, and can somebody explain that to me?

Re: best free accessible pc tuners for windows 10
Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
I agree. Norton had one of the more trustworthy registry cleaners, but one day several years ago it ran wilder than a buck—tore up everything in its path. I never figured out what I did wrong.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but my opinion on any of the so-called tune up applications for PC’s is very low, I think they mostly are garbage and while they claim they do whatever it is they do I wonder what they really do. I used to have a registry cleaner and the interesting part was that when you ran it it came up with whatever number of items it said it needed to clean up, so you told it to go ahead and clean them up. Afterwards if I ran it again it again said it had so many items to clean up so I told I t to do it again and it just kept on going. I feel that if it says it needs to clean up 23 items then once that is done it’s done for a while and it shouldn’t have another 20 items 5 seconds later. My advice is to make sure your Windows is updated, run disc cleanup from time to time and if you can just don’t install a bunch of junk you later on end up uninstalling again. Windows has been getting better at managing things as well so with Windows 10 I personally feel there is no reason why one should have to run these tune up applications, but as I said, that is just my opinion.

Hi there
My name is Michelle Stevens I am a new member of this forum and a new user to Jaws. I have had Jaws on my Lenovo Idea PAD 115 for about two to three weeks. There are features I like very much, and there are still a lot of features I have not yet explored. The main reason I purchased Jaws is so that I can run Goodfeel braille music translation and music editor on my laptop. I will ask questions in another email. Many thanks for your time and look forward to my Jaws journey. Kind regards Michelle Stevens. Sent from my iPhone

Re: google drive
Poppa Bear <heavens4real@...>
Not a problem at all. Just try to encourage them to learn Drive one way or another because it is growing more and more relevant all the time in the professional world along with the academic world as well. I just left an English college class where an assignment was given and it was to be completed in Google Docs and uploaded from Google drive. Keep in mind, the assignment was not to learn Google Drive or Docs, the implication was that one would already know how to use the Google apps to complete the writing assignment. I have 3 students right now who are all using Drive in their school districts and one who is using it in college.

If they are using JAWS 16 or later Google Drive will definitely work. I would say the trainers at the center need to do more research.

Re: Recommendation for laptop to use with JAWS
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
My laptop before I bought my current Asus Zenbook was an Acer with one of the first generation I5 processors. I had it for 5 years and actually still have it and use it a bit at my store for doing things like scanning inventory, but it was a fantastic laptop and at the time cost about $700 here in Canada. I did replace the original 640 Gb hard drive with an SSD and with that it booted up super fast and I got about 8 or 9 hours of battery life which at the time blew me away as it was a 15.6 inch screen and it also had a DVD drive. It also has a nice keyboard with full numeric pad and I have not a bad thing to say about it. Even now after 5 years I still get 3 to 4 hours of battery depending on what I do.

One other consideration is memory, make sure you get a laptop that has at least 8 Gb of RAM, I usually even get one with 16 Gb or upgrade it to 16 Gb. I personally like laptops which have an SSD (solid state drive) instead of a traditional hard drive. If you need lots of storage than that may not be an option because while SSD prices have come down a lot, beyond around 500 Gb they are still quite expensive. Also, if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive laptop then you probably won't find one that has a decent size SSD.
