Hello,

How can I help with the beta test of jaws?

Afik

I am also having the Outlook auto fill issue. Jaws 2018 is working just fine with the auto fill so it is my belief that this is a problem on Freedom Scientific's end. I have filled out the public beta form so I'm sure they're aware of this issue.

Steven, this is Macrium Reflect Free, Version 7, and it's a backup and restore utility, and a very well known and respected one.

' :    ' I have the auto-fill problem too except I have it with Jaws 2018, outlook 2016 and office 365.

It could be just 2016.

Strangely enough, mine is reading the autofill addresses when entering part of an address in a new Outlook 2016 message.  I’m using Office 365.

Is anyone finding that when you type a new message in Microsoft Outlook 2016, it doesn’t read the auto complete section on the to box to tell you which address is suggested?

Can anyone give me any thoughts on running Jaws with a Focus Blue 14 Braille display on a GDP Pocket2 small laptop.  I will include the IndieGoGo link which has all of the specs at the end of my email.

I am running an ElBraille for note taking needs right now, but I find it to be slow using office 365, and I have a hard time performing windows updates with the 30GB hard drive on the ElBraille.

It looks like I would trade the convenience of having my Braille display docked in the ElBraille for a faster experience on the GDP Pocket2, and gain a mini keyboard and screen.  The GDP Pocket2 is less expensive than the ElBraille as well.

I would appreciate any feedback from some of you who know more about processor speed and performance.

Here is a link to the GDP Pocket2 specs.

Hello user, to know what current line you’re on, press your jaws key plus the number two on your number pad. Hope this helps by the way, if you want to know anything about keystrokes, press JAWS ke plus one. This will get you in to help. Then, you can press in a keystroke combination you would like. Jars will usually say what that combination does. Press the combination twice quickly to get more information.

Hi all.

Using w1803 and Jaws 2019.

If I sitting on a web page, or even in a open document, is there still a keystroke to tell me on which line I am sitting?

I know using the alt/delete key will tell me by Pixels. Using this method, I go up into the top left corner of document and it says, (1 1). If I then go down a line it says, meaning the alt/delete key, says (1 2)

Would I then presume that the numbers would mean the larger number when going down would be the line number??

What ya think?

Thanks,

Morey Worthington

I guess the people who have problems with auto complete not being read by Jaws should mention exactly which Outlook version they use. Also, Jonas, have you contacted Jaws support about it to see if they can figure out why a feature which is working well for almost everybody else isn’t working for you?

Strangely enough, mine is reading the autofill addresses when entering part of an address in a new Outlook 2016 message.  I’m using Office 365.

When I am reading a numbered list in Word 2016 with SayAll, the beta reads the numbers but not the information. I have to read line-by-line to see what the list is about. I tested in 2018, and it reads both numbers and information. Is anyone else seeing this? Yes. I reported it.

I Am so glad it is not only me, have you reported it on the FS bug report Beta page?

It all depends upon the company and how they record time.  I have dealt with recording my time for several companies and organizations.  Many require one to enter their time via a web application.  Some will use a Word Document or Excel Spreadsheet.  Most are generally accessible with the exception that web applications can be fairly complex with pulldowns which aren’t really coded for accessibility or are not Windows standard Controls.  Other time-keeping applications  are marginal.

Therefore, I don’t think one can apply a one-size fits all to time-keeping.  It’s something where it’s helpful to provide a new employee with some initial training and to look to establishing place Markers or such to aid navigation. for more complex applications or similar.

Kind regards,

Amanda Lee

Do any of you know of a time sheet management system appropriate for a company with several hundred employees that is screen reader friendly?

Employees would need to be able to enter their time, request time off, edit their time, and perform other related functions.
