Why does installing the latest version of Jaws always remove the shortcut key from the desktop icon? Did it again after installing this update.

Re: Spell check in Word 2016
Van Lant, Robin
Alt F7 takes you to each misspelled word. Issue with this method is that it opens the context menu with suggested changes in it. That often works, but you have to press Escape once or twice to get out and read the word in context if it's not obvious what word it is. I think this is a Word Command, not a JAWS one, so it probably works well for sighted users who can see the misspelled word and are ready to see the list of suggestions.

The reason it works differently in Word from Outlook is that Outlook still uses the old dialog box interface, whereas Word has gone to a ride side pane display for spell check.

JAWS2019.1812.49 Build Update, Download Links + What's New In This Release
Mike B. <mike9902@...>
Hi All,
Below is the download link for both 32 & 64
Bit, the same link works for both, plus what's new in this release. Also,
below What's New are some frequently asked questions with answers.
32 & 64 Bit:
What's new:
Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1812.49 (December
2018)
The following is a list of improvements made
between the initial JAWS 2019 release and the December 2018 update.
Improved AutoCorrect Detection in Word and
Outlook
With the improvements to UIA support in Office
365 versions higher than 16.0.10400, JAWS can now immediately alert you
when text is AutoCorrected as you
edit documents in Word or when composing emails in Outlook. By default, when you are typing in word or the body of an email and you press the SPACEBAR after a word that is AutoCorrected, JAWS plays a pop sound. In addition, if you stop typing, so that speech is not interrupted, JAWS says "Auto Correct" followed by the corrected word including the spelling. As you navigate a document, JAWS can also
announce if Word has automatically corrected the current text. You can then
press ALT+SHIFT+F10 to open a context
menu that allows you to undo the correction, stop automatically correcting that word, or change your AutoCorrect options. For instance, if JAWS alerts you that a word you just typed was corrected but you prefer to use the word as you originally typed it, you can navigate back to the item, press ALT+SHIFT+F10, and choose "Change back." Note: When typing in the body of a new message
in Outlook, JAWS can alert you when text is AutoCorrected, however, the context
menu for changing AutoCorrect
options is only accessible using a mouse. Microsoft currently only allows the ALT+SHIFT+F10 command to be used in Word. If you do not want to be notified when text is
AutoCorrected when you press the SPACEBAR, open Quick Settings (INSERT+V) from
Word and turn off the "Spelling
buzzer on mistyped words" option. Note that this will also turn off the buzzer sound that is heard to indicate a misspelled word. If you do not want to have JAWS alert you to
corrected words as you navigate a document, open Quick Settings from Word and
turn off the AutoCorrect Detection
option. Support for Co-Authoring Documents in Word
365
If a shared document is opened by multiple
users, JAWS can now do the following:
list of 3 items
• Indicate who has the document opened using a notification message. • When another co-author navigates to the same line as the JAWS user, JAWS will indicate who is editing the same line. Pressing INSERT+UP ARROW to read the current line will also announce who is reading or editing at that location. • When a co-author actually edits the same line you are on, JAWS indicates that the text is locked for editing. If you press INSERT+UP ARROW, you will hear "Editing locked." You will also be alerted that the line is locked if you begin typing. list end Navigation Quick Keys Now Available in Google
Docs
Google Docs provides a number of keystrokes to
help users navigate through documents more efficiently. However, these commands
are difficult for users
to discover and use repeatedly. For example, you can press ALT+CTRL+N followed by ALT+CTRL+H to move to the next heading which could be difficult to press multiple times for some users. To improve document navigation, you can now
press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by Q in Google Docs to activate a Quick Keys
layer. Braille support must also
be turned on in Google Docs for this to work correctly. Even if you do not use a braille display, Braille support provides the most accessibility information to JAWS so you have the best experience when navigating and editing documents. If Braille support is not already enabled, press ALT+SHIFT+A for the Accessibility menu, open the Settings submenu, and press ENTER on Enable Braille Support. Once the Quick Keys layer is active, the following navigation commands are available: list of 3 items
• Move to the next or prior heading: H or SHIFT+H • Move to the next or prior list: L or SHIFT+L • Move to the next or prior table: T or SHIFT+T list end While this layer is active, you can continue to
use the ARROW keys to review text. For example, you could press INSERT+SPACEBAR,
Q, H to move to a heading,
press DOWN ARROW to read a couple lines, and then press H to jump to the next heading without having to press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q again. This layer remains active until you press ESC or any key that is not one of the supported navigation keys described above. Other Changes
list of 24 items • Resolved an issue with JAWS double speaking links in PDF documents. • The Liblouis braille translator used in JAWS has been updated to version 3.7 offering improved Unified English Braille (UEB) tables, back translation improvements, and new Chinese language tables. • In the Windows 10 Fall 2018 update,JAWS now reads as expected in the Clipboard history window accessed by pressing WINDOWS Key+V. • Resolved an issue with JAWS not reading as expected in the Windows 10 Emoji panel accessed by pressing WINDOWS Key+SEMICOLON. Note that there is still a known issue where emojis will not read correctly in emails opened in Outlook 365. • Due to major changes with the UPS website, the UPS Tracking Research It lookup source has been removed as it can no longer search and retrieve results from this service. • JAWS now supports reading PDF documents in Edge. This includes navigating documents using standard reading commands, using Navigation Quick Keys such as H to move by headings, and entering Forms Mode in edit fields. • JAWS can now indicate if a form field is marked as "required" in Edge. • Addressed a reported issue where the Announce Multiline Edit option in Setting Center would not remain active in the Default settings file. • Resolved a reported issue in Notepad where JAWS was not automatically reading the prompts for the edit fields in the Find and Replace dialog box. • The JAWS setup program now displays a splash screen when it first starts and before the main installation screen appears. • Pressing INSERT+F1 twice quickly in Chrome now displays a JAWS help topic. • In addition to pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by H to display the speech history in the Results Viewer, you can now press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by CTRL+H to copy the speech history to the Clipboard for pasting into an application. The speech history includes the last 50 announcements spoken by the synthesizer. • In Winamp, you can now perform single-letter commands directly from a braille display's keyboard including the Focus Blue such as X to play, V to stop, C to pause, and B and Z to move to the next or previous item in a playlist. • When accessing documents in the online version of Word 365 using Chrome or Firefox, resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading as expected when navigating by line. • Resolved an issue with JAWS not announcing autocomplete addresses in Outlook 365. • Resolved a reported issue where JAWS would not read bulleted lists in Word formatted using Hollow Arrow bullets. • When moving in and out of lists in Word 2013 or later, JAWS now announces list level nesting, for instance, "level 1." In addition, if you press INSERT+UP ARROW to read the current line on a list item, JAWS now announces position information, for example, "2 of 5." • If an Excel spread sheet contains multiple regions, addressed a reported issue where JAWS was not reading row and column totals. • Addressed an issue with the background color not being reported correctly in Excel when using the INSERT+F keystroke. • Added a new JAWS keystroke, CTRL+INSERT+B, for use in an upcoming release of Skype. Once your version of Skype updates, performing this command activates the Back button in the active conversation so you can return to the Home screen. If this keystroke is not yet working for you, then your version of Skype has not yet updated. • The "Spelling buzzer on mistyped words" option is now available in the Quick Settings for the Windows 10 Mail app. • Resolved instances where JAWS would randomly say "JAWS visual tracking window." • Addressed a reported issue where the Language combo box in the Dictionary Manager was not showing all available languages. • Added support for Google Slides film strip tree views. list end Back to top from Enhancements
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Should I remove my existing version of
JAWS before installing JAWS 2019?
Answer: This is not necessary and many users
choose to keep multiple versions on their system. Once you find that you are no
longer using the prior version,
and everything is working well with the new version, you may uninstall the old version but do not remove shared components. Question: If I recently received JAWS 2018, how
do I get JAWS 2019?
Answer: If you purchased JAWS 2018 after
September 1, 2018, you can download the JAWS 2019 release for free from the
Freedom Scientific website. To verify
if you are entitled to the current version, visit the SMA and Upgrade Pricing page and enter your serial number. Question: If my SMA expires, will I receive a
notice?
Answer: Customers in the U.S. will receive
notification in the mail shortly after the JAWS 2019 release. The envelope will
have a Braille label on the
outside, and it will contain an SMA Renewal letter explaining the process in print and Braille. You can also renew your SMA online using the SMA and Upgrade Pricing page on the Freedom Scientific website. Back to top from Frequently Asked Questions

I tried to call Hp’s accessibility line to see if they can answer my question, but they don’t answer their phone. I guess I could try sales chat to see if they might know.

Re: Setting Default Audio Output in Windows 10
Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) <steven.hicks@...>
You should be able to select the external speakers option to set this.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It is probably the jack sensing option, when you plug something in, the sound card will ask you what it is. I Have spent some time on this and it does depend on the laptop and sound driver being used. The Dialog that comes up can leave a bit to be desired for accessability. There is a way to turn off the jack senser but it is quite fiddly. Just make sure you have the latest sound card driver from the manufacturer initially. You can actually use the Windows driver instead, it comes up as a HD Audio Device, this is the generic driver and doesn't use the jack senser.

From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Peter Donahue Sent: 17 December 2018 02:30 To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Setting Default Audio Output in Windows 10 Good evening everyone, My wife works from here several days a week and uses a laptop supplied by her employer. She uses JFW under Windows 10. I'm not sure which release of Windows 10 is on that machine. This machine only has one jack for plugging in external audio input and output devices. We have a set of external speakers we like to connect to this machine so the audio from JAWS will be clearer and so the person my wife reads to can hear her better. We hear Jaws just fine through the speaker on the laptop but getting the audio output to come through the exgternal speakers has been a bit of a challenge. Sometimes if the speakers are connected prior to powering this machine on no speech is heard but if they're disconnected she hears Jaws fine. This afternoon she brought the laptop up to text it to be sure it will be ready for tomorrow. We got Jaws through the on-board speaker fine but not through the external speakers. When I plugged the speakers into the I/O jack a dialogue box came up asking us to choose an I/O setting. Several choices appeared. These included Mic,and line-in. Jaws reported that there were 9 different choices we could choose from. I'm guessing that we should have selected "Line-Out" to push the audio through the speakers when they're connected. The problem is not with the speakers. I had them connected to another laptop for the past few days and tested them with my cell phone prior to connecting them to the work laptop. We could get audio through external speakers on this machine without trouble just fine but lately they've been rather flakey. To prevent problems with this issue on this machine and on my new computer I plan to buy next year that will also have Windows 10 installed I want to know which setting must be selected to make audio play through external speakers when they're connected and how to save this choice as the default so Jaws and other audio will be heard through the external speakers when they're connected? Some tips and tricks to help us solve this issue will be very much appreciated.

Re: Setting Default Audio Output in Windows 10
Laptops having only 1 audio/microphone combo jack is pretty much the norm now. If I plug speakers into my laptop the dialogue that was described comes up and I select Speaker Out and as soon as I press enter on that sound switches to the speakers.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You can't really make this the default since both the built-in speakers as well as whatever you plug into the audio jack use the internal soundcard, but of course as long as you leave your speakers plugged in Jaws and system sounds will come out of the external speakers, also, if you plug the speakers in before you power up the laptop sound should come from the external speakers. However, if you unplug the speakers while the laptop is running and sound switches to the internal speakers and you then plug the external speakers back in you have to again select them from the dialogue. Alternatively you can also buy a USB to 3.5mm dongle on Amazon for about $8 or $10, these little devices plug into your USB port and have two 3.5mm ports on them, one for audio and one for microphone and they are recognized by Windows as a separate sound device. You can now, for example, go to the Jaws menus > Utilities > Soundcards and select the USB device there, this will instantly switch Jaws to whatever speakers you connect to it and system sounds will remain on the laptop's internal speakers.
