Re: Need refresher on how to change Jaws verbosity level

Patrick Johnson
 

Tom,

Not quite answering your question but here are the steps to copy your
earlier settings to a new version of JAWS. These steps were sent to
me on a JAWS list earlier this week.


Try the following:
1. Open the Jaws context menu with, Insert / Jaws key + J.
2. Down arrow to, Utilities, and press enter.
3. Down arrow to, Import / Export submenu, and press enter.
4. Down arrow to, Migrate settings..., and press enter.
5. Now you'll have a combobox to choose which version of Jaws you
would like to migrate your settings from... After you choose which
Jaws version tab 1
time to, Yes, and press the spacebar and follow the prompts.


73s,

Patrick

I am not sure what tech support person you talk to, but I can tell you they are not correct. I noticed this behavior right from the beginning with the first beta for Jaws 2019. This behavior did not happen in jaws 2018.

Matthew, this is a different Richard, I’m using Jaws 2019, Windows
10 home 1809, I have Office 365.
In Outlook, following your steps with the settings, the reading
behavior does not change.
I still hear the subject and message type read after hitting enter
on the Email. And, it won’t automatically read… The message type is
uncheck, yet, I hear each time if the Email is HTML, plain text, etc.
I’m off to work, where I have Jaws 2018 and Windows 7 and outlook
2016 so I will check there.

Hi!

In JFW 15 with Outlook 2007, I use to be able to have an opened
message begin automatically start reading but not its subject line,
just the message body. I don’t need the subject line re-read
because I already know it from the message’s preview in Outlook’s
list box as I scroll down my inbox. Now, with JFW 2019 and Outlook
2016 the message’s subject line reads after I open it as JFW begins
to read the message’s body. How can I stop the message’s subject line from reading?

Re: Evaluating laptop keyboards for jaws functionality [adding applications key]

Richard B. McDonald
 

Hi!

I use a Lenovo L440, and I really like it. The one thing it lacks is the applications key. However, below are the steps to add this functionality to the laptop's printscreen key; which in its native functionality I don't think I have ever needed to use. This is from an email Ann wrote some time ago on this list. And, I suspect this works on any computer. So, this is a really easy and productive thing to do:

1. In any application (I used Eudora) press insert+0 to open the script manager.
2. Press control+shift+d to get to the default script manager.
3. Go to the bottom of the file, so it's easy to find and delete if you decide you don't like it.).
4. Type control+e to begin a new script.
5. Give it a name, no spaces: ApplicationsKey.
6. Tab. Can be attached to key, check it.
7. Tab, and type a synopsis
8. Tab again and type a fuller description.
9. Tab, and fill in a category (I chose system)
10. Tab. Assign to hotkey. (I pressed print screen).
11. Tab. Okay.
12. Control+s to compile.

Now you have this:

Script ApplicationsKey ()



EndScript

Which won't do a thing. You need to add the command {shift+f10} and compile again.

Now it looks like this:

Script ApplicationsKey ()

{shift+f10}

EndScript
Close the script manager and test. If it doesn't work the way you want, delete it.

HTH,
Richard

Subject: Evaluating laptop keyboards for jaws functionality

Hi All,

How do jaws users evaluate a keyboard on a laptop you are considering?
I'm talking about the presence (or absence) of keys that are necessary to the functionality of jaws commands.

I received a new Lenovo Ideapad and was dismayed to realize that the keyboard is missing not only the applications key but also the dedicated home, end, page up and page down keys. Strangely, my old Lenovo, the one I am typing this message on, has all these keys so it never occurred to me to try and verify that the new one would also.
But now I'm wondering, how do you check the keyboard specs when ordering a new laptop that you haven't actually had your hands on?

Before someone suggests an external keyboard let me say that I require the portability of a laptop that doesn't necessitate dragging around an extra keyboard. I also don't really want to remap a bunch of keys to accomplish everyday functions.

So what do people suggest? Do I really have to drag myself over to microcenter or some other store so I can actually touch the laptop I'm considering? Is there another way?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Kim

The baseline configuration enables various Windows security features, including virtualization-based security, attack surface reduction rules, network protection (blocking of known malicious Web sites), tighter user permissions, stronger BitLocker encryption, prevention of users from writing to unencrypted USB drives, etc.

Just guessing here, but there may not be an application key at all. I
just bought a laptop that doesn't have one and it's going back to the
seller.

As for the function keys, they may be set to perform hardware
functions rather than the application specific functions you would
expect. I'm not sure how you would change that on an HP laptop. But
you can get the app specific function by holding down the FN key while
pressing the function keys.

I hope this helps.

I am aware of this, but if you really want to have a sense of what you're deleting, some prefer to use a delete option rather than the delete key.

you don't need to open a context menu. and you can also use control i to open
the same bookmark menu with only 2 keys.
when you get to the bookmark you want to delete just press the delete key on
it. no context menu needed.

Try this:

1. Open Firefox.
2. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus B to open Bookmarks.
3. Navigate to the bookmark you wish to delete.
4. Press SHIFT plus F10, and arrow down to Delete.
5. Press ENTER.

That's it. The bookmark is deleted.

Deleting a bookmark from the standard bookmarks menu won't work, no matter how
you attempt to delete it. You must open the Show All Bookmarks menu with
CONTROL plus SHIFT plus B first, before bookmarks may be deleted, either with
the Delete key, SHIFT plus F10, or Application key.

Let me see if I can explain it better. Shift f10 won’t work if you are trying
to right-click on a bookmark in the menu so you can get the context menu to
delete it. That’s the only place I’ve ever found where it doesn’t work, but
there it is.

Hi, Chris. I just tried SHIFT plus F10 in Bookmarks in Firefox, and deleted a bookmark.

Hi,



Not a lot of people know that the built in windows disk cleanup as some
additional features which you can’t see when running disk clean up in the
usual way. The below options have been in windows I think since xp, maybe
even longer and its completely accessible with Jaws, I’ve always been
surprised that windows don’t add these options to their standard disk
cleanup tool, but I guess they are advance settings so don’t want the
average user deleting stuff they might later want. So that being said I
should probably point out to anyone using the extended disk cleaner settings
I mention below to only delete stuff you know you don’t want/need. So its
really easy to access just go to run and type the following



cleanmgr sageset:99



This brings up the standard disk cleanup interface but with more options
than just standard disk clean up. You select what you want it to clean up
and click ok, which closes the disk cleanup window, then go to run again and
then this time type the following to run disk cleanup with the settings you
just selected



cleanmgr sagerun:99



hope the above helps

Chris,

You are correct in your assessment of registry cleaners in
general, not just CCleaner's (which, at least, must be intentionally run as
it's not a part of default cleaning). I know of no one who's a "tech geek"
with any depth of experience who recommends using these.

For those that are looking for a comprehensive junk file cleaner
I'd suggest you take a look at Singular Labs' System Ninja
<https://singularlabs.com/software/system-ninja/>; . I cannot swear that it
is accessible, but given both its interface style and its length of
remaining relatively unchanged I'd strongly suspect it will be. At any
rate, for personal use it's free so the readership here can certainly
download, assess accessibility, and report back.

Re: Jaws and Very Large PDF documents

Jason White
 

Try the PDF reader that is built into current versions of Google Chrome. It
works better in many cases than Adobe Reader, in my experience.

Also, you could purchase and install ABBYY FineReader to convert the PDF files
into HTML or Microsoft Word format.

Good Morning,

I am trying to assist a tax accountant who uses Jaws 2018 and Adobe Reader Pro 11 . She is often give pdf files that are up to 1000 pages to read and extract pages as necessary! While Jaws reads as normal for smaller documents, less than 500, at 1000+ we only get a Document Empty message. We know that the document has been OCR'd, in fact when we extract a page from the large document it works well. We have:
1) Tested this with NVDA as well as the Adobe Read Out Loud. We receive the same message.
2) Tried all of the Adobe reading settings, e.g. process one page at a time, read from left to right, raw stream, etc.
3) Ran Accessibility Checker which indicated that it indeed it is not an image
4) Checked the Adobe security settings, which indicates no protection at all.
5) Behaves the exact same way in Adobe Reader versus Pro.

I cannot test this document in Jaws 2019 because they are confidential tax documents, and at this time she does not have Jaws 2019 installed. (We are working on that now.)

If anyone has any ideas at all, we would truly appreciate it.

Thanks so much!
