Hi, Kevin. No. I stated the version of Zoom, so that if any shortcut keys get added in future versions of Zoom, people will know that they have an older version of the shortcut list. Probably the reason ALT plus A did not mute your zoom is that JAWS had lost focus. If this happens to me, I quit JAWS and restart JAWS without having to leave the Zoom application.

Hi,

This is happening when not in any specific application. Only when I go to desktop then tab down to other choices, as file explorer. I stated file manager incorrectly previusly. Nevertheless, this is happening with two different versions of Jaws, 2019 and 2022. Once within any specific app, it reverts back to the default synthesizer. When I tab down from the desktop, it goes to elequence. I know this was not doing this previously. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Rick

Hello Rick:

Get into the application where the wrong synthesizer becomes active. Press Control, JAWS Key and s. Arrow up and down to pick the synthesizer you want. Tab once and you will be in another field. This has another list of synthesizers, but the topmost entry is "use default". Select that, then hit OK.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi all,

I jump back between JFW 2019 and 2022 due to whatever problems one resolves over the other.

Within either version, when I hit the windows key +m key, to go to the desktop, I then hit the alt key down to file manager, for example. The voice then changes to elequence from my default use of an external voice syn. Any ideas to what setting I need to correct so the same voice or scheme is used no matter where I am within the operating system, Windows 10, FYI. I look forward to all help.

Hi, Kevin. No. I stated the version of Zoom, so that if any shortcut keys get added in future versions of Zoom, people will know that they have an older version of the shortcut list. As Curtis said, if a recording is started in a Zoom meeting, all participants in the meeting are required to tab to the "Got it" button, to show that they have received notice that the meeting is being recorded, and that they are OK with this. Another reason that ALT plus A did not mute your zoom is that JAWS had lost focus. If this happens to me, I quit JAWS and restart JAWS without having to leave the Zoom application.

Hello Kevin:

 

In Zoom meetings where recording is started, a window pops up letting you know that the meeting is being recorded. Unless or until you respond to this window, you are not able to use Alt A to mute and unmute. You have to tab to “got it” or something like that.

 

I hope this clarifies.

Hi again,

When in file explorer, I did hit shift, control and S keys at same time. I
then hit jaws curser and t and it said file explorer. Nothing else able to
be done unless I go into a specific folder, downloads for example. When in
file explorer, the external syn works again but as I stated earlier, when I
hit windows and m to go to desktop, once I hit tab key to go down it goes
into elequence. When I hit enter on file explorer, it goes back to the
external syn.

Hi Rick,

I will write first your statement and after each statement I will write my
answer.

You wrote:

Well, your comments of columns left and right mean nothing to a blind
user of which JAWS is the screen reader.
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Even as a blind person you can get
the necessary informations from JAWS to find out if you are on the right
side of the screen or if you are on the left side of the screen. If you
press Alt+Delete JAWS will announce the name of the active cursor first and
then the pixel coordinates x and y. (left and top). If you are on a control
and press the key and then go to the next control and press this key you can
find out if you are on the right or on the left.

So if you find out the tree view is on the left side and the list view on
the right side you automatically will know that the tab key in the tree view
probably will bring you faster to the list view on the right side and if you
are in the list view on the right that Shift+Tab will bring you to the tree
view more quickly than tab key.

File Explorer, is all the drives
and Documents to give a couple as an example.
So File Explorer is the one with the tree view, right? And File Manager on
the other hand probably is the File Explorer without tree view.

Now, my synthesizer is external, triple talk USB. When I now hit the
windows and m key to go to the desktop, I then tab down to file
explorer. When I tab off of the desktop, down to the mentioned file
explorer, I lose my default profile, the external synthesizer and I
get elequence. This is very odd and is with both jaws version 2019 and
version 2022. My settings with the voice profile have both/all
combination boxes set with the triple talk usb choice yet when I
maneuver as exampled, I lose the triple talk and receive elequence for
some unknown reason.

Please press JAWS+Control+S in your app and right after this JAWS+T to get
the title of the dialog. What does JAWS announce?

You can get the spoken message easy by pressing JAWS+Space then S. This open
all spoken messages from JAWS in a dialog and at the end should be the title
of the dialog JAWS has spoken by pressing JAWS+T.

Thanks for your help,
You're welcome.

Hi Ann,

I made a JAWS script to announce the foreground and background color as well as the font name if available. The script don't uses the old OSM method JAWS does but instead uses the newest interface UIA. It's reliable in the most apps using UIA and at the moment I try to add more code to expand the script to speak colors in Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel and so on. If the script is ready I can provide you a download link with instructions to install the script, if you or other list members want me to. Just let me know.

In Word 2016 and PowerPoint 2016, JAWS reports the color of text as 'default on default'. When I try to change the color, JAWS continues to report "default on default". My student with some vision reported that the background color had changed correctly to blue, but JAWS continued to report "default on default". Is anyone else seeing this, or are we just lucky???

Thx

Well, your comments of columns left and right mean nothing to a blind user
of which JAWS is the screen reader.

File Explorer, is all the drives and folders within a computer. Downloads
and Documents to give a couple as an example.

Now, my synthesizer is external, triple talk USB. When I now hit the windows
and m key to go to the desktop, I then tab down to file explorer. When I tab
off of the desktop, down to the mentioned file explorer, I lose my default
profile, the external synthesizer and I get elequence. This is very odd and
is with both jaws version 2019 and version 2022. My settings with the voice
profile have both/all combination boxes set with the triple talk usb choice
yet when I maneuver as exampled, I lose the triple talk and receive
elequence for some unknown reason.

Thanks for your help,

Rick

Hi Rick,

sorry, I don't have an English version of JAWS and Windows so I couldn't say
the right name in English. In your first mail you spoke of File Manager. So
let's first clear up things: If you speak of file manger do you mean the app
with the tree view structure on the left in which you can select the folders
of your drive and in which are lists of files on the right? If not please
give me more information which app file manger is.

What's the difference between file manager and file explorer?

Sorry for my questions but I think I need to know to help.

Greetings
Udo

Hi,

File manager? Do you mean file explorer? If so, I did open file
manager and hit the shift +control +s keys and nothing happened. Am I
not understanding your directions correctly? If not, please let me
know where I am going wrong.

Thank you,

Rick

Hi Rick,

open File Manager and press Control+Shift+S. The SoundScheme dialog
will be opened. Press tab key to set focus for the second combo box.
The second combo box is the one which changes your voice for File
Manager. Press down arrow and up arrow to select your voice and leave
the dialog by pressing enter key or activating the OK button.

The next time you activate File Explorer your selected voice (same as
in all other apps) should be spoken.

Good luck
Udo

Hi all,

I jump back between JFW 2019 and 2022 due to whatever problems one
resolves over the other.

Within either version, when I hit the windows key +m key, to go to
the
desktop, I then hit the alt key down to file manager, for example. The
voice then changes to elequence from my default use of an external
voice syn. Any ideas to what setting I need to correct so the same
voice or scheme is used no matter where I am within the operating
system, Windows 10, FYI. I look forward to all help.

Rick
