Hello,

does anybody know, how to pair JFW version 13 and Eurobraille ESYS braille
display? I have searched this model between the braille displays, which are
listed in the braille wizard, but it is not supported natively. should I
install addon or driver from Eurobraille?

thanks for your reply.

best regards,
Jožef

Hi,


I agree with you, I bet they will not reply either as its wrong they
don't offer the same prices worldwide as we all struggle no matter where
we live. As a matter of interest, I also saw that in the USA they have
an offer to renew their SMA licences, at a cost of US Dollars 60.00.
Here as of yesterday at Sight and Sound they quoted 150.00 pounds with
no upcoming specials envisaged. So how fair is that to us here?

Hi all
I sent a message to FS support asking why the new Jaws yearly subscription
plan is for US customers only, but I haven’t received any reply yet. Your
thoughts on this?

As I see it, they are basically saying that us users outside the US don’t
really require a more affordable way to purchase Jaws and that they are
only giving this more affordable option to people in the US.

I’m also wondering what for example will stop me from simply using a
friends US address when signing up for this plan. I doubt they’ll be
monitoring where a user is located while using it, I think the only
important thing to them is the address at sign up.

For starters you eather need to have someone go into the bios and change the defalt of the function keys.  They now are set for hp device operations, and you need to change it to just f keys.

If you do not do this then you would have to press the function key and along with your jaws key and f 7 to have the jaws action take place. And this would be for all f key operations.

Good morning all,

I recently bought a new HP Laptop. I am having a couple of problems but I think it is me not the computer. Some of my shortcut keys are not working such as Insert F7 for links, or F7 for Spell Check. I cannot seem to find the application key where in the past it has always been two keys to the right of the space bar. I have my keyboard set to laptop. I have had no luck trying to search these issues online. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Angie Goodnight

I just went into Jaws quick settings, and couldn’t find an option to disable phoenetics.

Am I not going to the right place?

The phonetic thing is actually a new feature. It’s meant to help out folks who may have hearing issues or would like a little more help with distinguishing between letters. This feature is also present in the iOS platform.

You can go into Jaws settings and adjust the delay for when the phonetic pronunciation is spoken or disable it all together.

The other thing, I have no idea.

Hello, again, everyone.

I have discovered two more problems with Jaws 2019 and Outlook 2016 on my Windows 7 laptop.

When I use the insert numpad 2 command to read an entire message, Jaws skips parts of lines.  I can read the complete lines by arrowing down through the message, but, as you can imagine, this gets quite cumbersome.

In addition, I have noticed that Jaws now gives phonetics for the first letter of a word when I navigate through a message that I’m composing, and I also notice that Jaws sometimes speaks the last character I type again after several seconds.

I seem to recall someone else having similar issues but am not sure how or whether they got resolved.

Thanks for any assistance.

Just make sure that, if you're using JAWS, that your Virtual Cursor is set to copy Full Screen Content, NOT Copy From Virtual Cursor. Copy from Virtual Cursor will give you only the text. It will not preserve formatting.

"I noticed that the .asx, .m3u and .pls files are text files containing 
a radio station URL. Perhaps these are called play list files."

yes, they are.

"... Is it as simple as copying and pasting the URL into Notepad and 
saving it as a .m3u file?"

yes, it is that simple, but I think the trick is to find out what the 
correct address should be to create a playlist or paste into the URL 
edit field, but as far as I know, that'll have to be provided by the 
broadcasting engineer/manager/director/administrator, in which case they 
will email you such a file if their method for streaming can support the 
use of PLS or M3U files. the M3U is the format that works in older media 
players and the PLS format is the format meant for modern 	players. . 
but modern players can play M3U playlists as well. and ASX is basically 
(dead) not used as it once was.

I'd also be interested to know if there is a way to find out what the 
correct address would be, not just for the BBC streams, but for any 
stream without having to ask the appropriate individuals.

Subject: How to put a radio URL into a play list file, .?

Hello List,



I listen to Web radio on my Plextalk Linio. The .asx, .m3u and .pls
files were provided by Plextalk but, now the BBC files do not work.

A few years ago, the BBC announced a change to their streaming standard.
Can I create my own file to play on the Plextalk?

I have never intentionally played music on my computer, so I don’t know
much about Play Lists.

I noticed that the .asx, .m3u and .pls files are text files containing a
radio station URL. Perhaps these are called play list files.

How do I get the correct Web radio URL into these files? Is it as simple
as copying and pasting the URL into Notepad and saving it as a .m3u file?

Now I listen to the BBC online, using FireFox to go to this streaming site:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_world_service

I copied the address and pasted it into Notepad and into the Windows
Media Player URL box.

Using Notepad I saved the file with the file extension .m3u

but, it won’t play.

I also pasted this URL into the Windows Media Player URL box.

I get this message:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support
the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress
the file.

The .asx file contains this URL:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_london/

It no longer works.

I would like to listen to the BBC World Service on the PlexTalk.

I would appreciate some advice or Web page that would explain the
concepts of radio station addresses and how to create a file that will
play in the PlexTalk.

Thanks,

Peter T.
