Hi Dave,

What to do is, open the app and then go to the store.

                Now use the touch cursor.

HTH.

Subject: Question regarding the latest update to Quick Assist

 

Hello everyone:

 

Has anyone on the list needed to use Quick Assist recently? I have! I got a prompt telling me there was a new release of Quick Assist, and I would need to get it from the Microsoft Store. My question is:

 

Has anyone who has limited or no vision on the list, successfully try and find and download the update to Quick Assist from the Microsoft Store. Personally, I had no success in downloading and applying the new update for this program.

 

I pose the following suggestion:

 

I would like anyone who has no vision or, very limited vision, try and successfully download the update for Quick Assist from the Microsoft Store. If anyone who is not vision impaired, please do not come in on this topic for at least 2 days, to see if muy challenge can be met. If anyone who is visually impaired, managed to do what I failed to do myself, will they plese enlighten me as to how they did it, with step-by-step instructions, so I can complete the update to Quick Assist. Whuy Microsoft did not include the latest update to Quick Assist as part of the Windows update process, will always be a mystery, except to Microsoft, of course.

 

Thanks in anticipation:

 

Dave Durber

Good morning:

Currently I'm using jaws 2019. When I want to look at the properties of a file, i.e. date created etc. I route Jaws to pc and it is blank, the only word that appears is okay. I set jaws to unrestricted and I get the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

in other words, take the freedom scientific pearl camera, bake it into jaws as a software camera--keyboard accessible camera then put it on steroid's letting it recognise various on-screen controls and let you activate such controls by directly moving and clicking the mouse or giving hints on accessing such controls maybe with an xbox controller if needed. 

Hi,

I’m new to this group, but have used Jaws a long time. Last December I got a new HP all-in-one computer running Windows 11 and Jaws 2022 most recent update.

On the new system my speaker is built in as a part of the screen (at least that is how it feels). On my old Win 10 computer I had a separate speakers and it had a little volume control that I could increase and decrease the volume easily and quickly. I’ve tried looking in the Jaws help but cannot find what I need to do in order to adjust the Jaws volume on the fly. Can anyone point me in the correct direction for making this adjustment?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again, John. I want to add to my message explaining how to view the properties of a file. After viewing the Virtual Window of Properties, when finished, press ESCAPE twice to close both the Virtual Window in JAWS, and the Properties Window.

Hi Josh,

I am sure that you have already done this, but in case you haven’t, please send these observations to Freedom Scientifvic or whatever they call themselves at the moment (smile),. What a wonderful thing you describe here!

Best,

Subject: amaizing discovery with my iPhone and jaws!

 

hi
I just made an amaizing discovery with my iPhone and jaws. first I went to youtube.com and pulled up and started to watch a japanese anime episode with english subtitles. I then used jaws to put youtube into full screen mode. I then loaded up superSense app on my iPhone and put it into instant reader or quick read or constant reed, live Reader mode. pointed the phone at the screen and held it as steady as possible and my iPhone was reading the subtitles to me! it was so cool that my iPhone was doing something that jaws can't do! My phone was reading text directly drawn to the screen, as it appeared, in realtime, as the video played! I really really wish jaws had a virtual camera mode that is also further customizeable with jaws scripts and frames manager so jaws could do what my iPhone was doing, but take it even further. let the jaws virtual camera recognise buttons and other on-screen controls, highlight bars, graphics and stuff, and give the user access to such items using the keyboard. And you could even use the jaws virtual camera to scan entire inaccessible amazon kindle books and turn them into text or scan directly to word. NVDA has an outdated addon that tries to read live text but fails pretty bad at it. I think jaws could do better with the jaws virtual camera. Why do I need my iPhone to read live video subtitles? Amaizing that seeing-A-I and super sense can do what jaws cannot give me access to stuff that jaws can't even see. Because jaws does not have a virtual camera feature. If jaws had a scriptable virtual camera and that virtual camera could also be further customized with both script manager and frames manager then the jaws screen reader would be doing something NVDA and narrator don't do and would put jaws lightyears ahead of the other windows screen readers.   But until jaws has a virtual camera, I guess I have to use a real physical iPhone camera in order to read live video subtitles.
