Hi Glenn,
I'm using the latest version of Windows 11 and I just tried that keystroke;
you can't arrow down to get to the battery info but if you right arrow
right 5 times you'll hear "system power state button," followed by the
battery status (don't activate the button).

I don't know about 11, but in windows 10, and earlier windows, I press
windows B and arrow to battery in the system tray.

Hello.
Have not had any trouble with either one of those. Sounds like a
machine-specific problem that might be solvable with a reinstall of
jaws or something.

Having been a long time Window Eyes user I found the move to NVDA
much easier than a move to Jaws. I have NVDA and the latest version
of Jaws on my computer and use NVDA 90 percent of the time.

Hi. This is such an interesting topic. I rather enjoy discussions
like this. I prefer Jaws over NVDA because Jaws has the Braille
math editor, which I need to use for math class. NVDA is a great
screen reader if you don't need to do math. Also, I love Jaws
picture smart, voice assistant feature, and the convenient OCR. I
do use NVDA occasionally, and I like how there are so many unique NVDA
add-ons.
However, my overall preference is Jaws.

What do you think it does better? Where do you think it's

I commonly see is that Jaws still seems to have better braille

happy with the idea of putting NVDA on a work computer, so there's
that. I used Jaws growing up, so I have a fair amount of

the overall look and feel hasn't really changed either, so there
was next to no learning curve when it came to reacquainting
myself. I know NV access have been working on this, but to my
understanding Jaws also seems to have better UIA support, something
that can only be a positive!
Looking forward to hearing from you, James

Hello,

An Jaws be saved on a USB drive?

Thanks.

Well, there is a symbols file that is used to convert symbols to text strings. But if you are running the current version of JAWS, and you have never tried to adjust symbol pronunciation then you should probably talk to support so this can be properly fixed.
Personally, I didn't even notice the double speak since often in programming two ampersands are placed next to each other.

There is an older version which sounded different from the new one. I believe in those time it is called IBM via voice

How about the IBM Veia voice? Will there be ways to make it work on JAWS?

I wonder if jaws could be scripted to work withh the decTalk dlls I already have? 

Hello everyone, I am writing this for a client. She is learning to use
JAWS via a focus 40 blue, with no qwerty keyboard. The problem we are
having has been discussed before, and I'm wondering if there has ever
been a solution found. When composing an email in Thunderbird, using
grade 2 braille, it seems like the email is being flipped upsidedown,
whenever we press the dot 8 (enter key). Does anyone know how to keep
this from happening? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
much in advance.


Guy

P.S. My client is using Jaws 2022, with all latest updates.

I always thought Keynote Gold sounded like someone with a sock in their mouth.
I used it on some notetaker a long time back I believe.

it works with NVDA. There is an addon that gives you decTalk 4.1 through 4.6. and I did offer freedom scientific the dlls so they could get it working with jaws once again as a vintage voice. and I bet Nuance also has source code for keynote gold multimedia so they may be able to bring that back as well.

How about the IBM Veia voice? Will there be ways to make it work on JAWS?
