Re: Jaws not reading text as I type in edit fields in Edge Steve Nutt #96223 Hi Brian, My guess would be old accounting software, that’s usually what trips businesses up, because it costs a fortune to upgrade them. I now use Quickbooks Online, so I don’t have to install any software, just me and the ol’ browser.

We have a couple of programs that only work with Jaws 18, so upgrading for now is out of the question." Sadly, these sorts of situations are all too common. If individuals or businesses don't have a commitment to keeping up-to-date on everything, being not-up-to-date on one thing often forces other things to have to be kept, too. There's nothing personal about the original poster in this observation, but what on earth is this business using that will only work with JAWS 18 that won't work with the later versions? I don't doubt what's been said, but that's a huge red flag right there. So is the comment that Internet Explorer is still being used. It will soon be entirely gone from Windows 10 and 11, and if they're not even running Windows 10 then it's not a red flag but a house afire! -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Friendship. . .

Re: accessible desktop tax software Michael Walker #96222 Hi John, Is there any reason you can’t use the tax act website, to file your taxes? Why is the desktop version a requirement? Back when I filed my own taxes, I used the website version of TurboTax. It worked pretty well. Sometimes, I did need the jaws cursor. It was mostly accessible though.

Re: accessible desktop tax software John Covici #96221 Well, I was unable to even get that far. I could not tab to any buttons, even. I was using taxact home and business – I wonder if you were using some other version? I could barely import last years return and after that, I could hardly read the window, jaws cursor or virtual pc cursor. toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Vicky Collins Sent: Monday, March 21, 2022 6:34 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: accessible desktop tax software Do you perhaps have any suggestions that might help others navigate the TaxAct program, or perhaps yours would be similar to mine? For examples, when I would restart the program after walking away for a while, I needed to use the touch cursor and then tab to the Continue Where I Left Off button or whatever it is where I could then press enter. Also, often when a new question came up, all the information wouldn’t be read, and I found it easiest to use the arrow keys to first arrow up to where the information for that question began and then use the down arrow to read through all the info and then find the appropriate button on which to press enter. A couple of times I had to route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor and then find the exit button and do a left mouse click to get out of something. And then, too, for completing some of the lines on the form, especially when several lines were completed on one screen, I had to use the touch cursor to tab through the choices to then make each of my selections. And then once done, I would activate that cursor once again and tab through the entire screen to make sure that I had indeed chosen what I meant to choose. When tabbing through the choices, though, JAWS would most often repeat the prior choice before reading the current one, so it took much more time than it should to go through some of the forms.

Re: webpage layout leonard morris #96219 I found when smart navigation was on (mine is set to controls and tables) the insertX will temporarily change how information such as links and buttons are displayed on the webpage when using the arrow keys. I wasn't aware of this quick settings in Jaws but it is certainly useful. I now have a better understanding what my navigation issues were on webpages. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 3/21/2022 7:53 PM, Ann Byrne wrote: document presentation mode.

Re: Stopping JAWS Reading The Numbers Of Links And Other Items When Opening A Web Page Bill White #96213 Hi again, Mark. Try changing the configuration file for Chrome. search for read. Uncheck the option which says, “Document and Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded”.
