Subject: Jaws Volume Control.

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.

 

Eileen

Josh,

What a wonderful discovery. I’ve never been one who was interested in movies or videos in other languages because I can’t read the translation on the screen. But I may give your discovery a try. Thanks for sharing and for thinking outside the box.

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 NVDA has an outdated addon that tries to read live text but fails pretty bad at it.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. 

audible files are in the aa format. i'm not aware and have never been able to find a desktop player that will play them. i use to convert them to mp3s but that became impracticle. sorry i don't have more for you but if you find one, please let me know as i would like to have that opption too.

Yes, Alexa does a fine job, but it doesn’t allow me to put my technical titles in one group, writing tools in another, fiction in another, etc.

I’m looking for a Desktop solution.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

Thanks,

Dennis T. Brown

I can use the Sonos speaker software, but it doesn’t allow sorting titles into groups and folders.

Karen,

There are definitely meetings where the host doesn’t want others to speak. I’ve been on some where you can raise your hand and the host will unmute you, but, especially if the call is being recorded and/or is a more professional presentation, they may expect you to chat in questions so they can curate and filter.

True permission is not required but to just hold down the space bar to talk, could be considered as rude. When we had a guide dog conference call with 80 participants, the presenter learned very quickly that to just let people talk or ask questions, resulted in continuous talking over people.  Thus, I would suggest put up your hand to chat and waiting for the host to let you answer is far more polite.  IMHO.   

Hi, Karen. In most meetings, permission to talk is not required. Pressing the Space Bar is just a quick way to briefly unmute. It's an alternate to ALT plus A to unmute and stay unmuted. The Space Bar just unmutes you as long as the Space Bar is held down.

Thanks. I take it that I would need to hold down the spacebar only if I’ve been given permission  to talk?

Karen

Using Windows, its Alt + A.This is a toggle.

If you are muted upon entry to the room and recording has started or the host has started recording, you need to accept the host recording to be able to unmute yourself upon the host allowing you to unmute.

You can also unmute yourself by holding down the spacebar for the duration you are talking, this is like keying a microphone as a ham radio operator.

Hi,

I was listening to a zoom meeting that was being recorded and had everyone muted. I noticed that there was a raise my hand button, however, I never could find the unmute button. Was it just not there? Or did I miss it? What is the shortcut key to toggle the mute button on and off?
