Hi,

Using: W10 64 bit Home with latest updates.

While the punctuation  apt  continues to function normally on my system in Jaws 2018, it does not work in the 2019 beta. 

Has anyone else noticed this problem with the beta?

Would it be worth attempting to install it again under the beta

Thanks

Tom

I just upgraded to the 2019 beta at home, and the problems seems to have completely disappeared.

I’m having the same issues with Firefox and at times also with Internet Explorer. Just an FYI

Shirley Tracy

I’m noticing it, too, and one site, radio.com, crashes firefox, and I have to kill it with Task Manager.

I’m wondering if anybody else is having this problem.

I’m running Firefox version 62, latest version of JFW, and Windows 10.

I’ll be arrowing down through a web page, and all of a sudden JAWS just stops reading. Sometimes it comes back after a few seconds, but not always.

I especially notice it when reading the Boston Globe in NFB Newsline on the web.

Also when I’m using Google Docs, I’m noticing an irritating lag when I hit up or down arrow in a document.

Any thoughts on how to remedy this?

Yes, when this occurs, which is often, I use my shortcut keys to get JAWS
to
speak and JAWS then speaks the LogOn screen information. Do you have an HP
machine? VFO has never given me any great assistance in the matter. Even
if I hit any key JAWS will not speak until I use the shortcut method. Like
you, JAWS is set to start at logon.

Hi,



I posted yesterday about a problem I was having whereby JAWS wouldn't
speaking on the lock screen. However, JAWS did speak when I pressed any
key
to dismiss the lock screen and bring up the password field.



I have since disabled the lock screen, but JAWS doesn't speak at all on the
logon screen now regardless of how long I leave it. JAWS does speak when I
enter the password and the desktop comes up. I have checked, and JAWS is
set to load at the logon screen.



Does anyone have any suggestions?

anyway. I cannot get it to work under windows 732
or windows 10 64. very strange.

hmmm, I cannot seem to get the screen shot
function to work on either windows 732 bit or

combinations of alt, ctrl, and windows keys along
with the print screen key and get no results
anywhere, lol! Maybe I am not holding my mouth correctly, lol!

I repeat:

Under Windows 10, as of Version 1803, you can take both a full screen
screen shot with WinKey+PrtSc, and the resulting screen shot will be
saved in Pictures\Screenshots, and a windowed screen shot with
WinKey+Alt+PrtSc, which on the vast majority of machines I've done it

still gets saved in Videos\Captures.

If you refer to audio ducking, I did give you the exact steps, here they are again:

Open the Jaws settings Centre by pressing Jaws Key+6

Press Control+Shift+D to make sure default settings are loaded

Now type the word “lower” into the search box, of course without the quotation marks

Tab once to the result, Jaws should say this:

1 Search Results list box

Lower audio volume of programs while JAWS speaks not checked

User

If this setting is checked then press the spacebar to uncheck it, then tab to OK and press the spacebar or enter.

Lastly, unload and reload Jaws or simply reboot your computer and see if this helped. I hope you can follow these steps because that is about as clear as I can make it.

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi there I have desktop with window 10 and I don’t know how to turns off window something in jaws 2018

Addison

If you are using Windows 10 make sure audio ducking Is turned off in Jaws 2018, it could be that it is lowering the volume.

To check go to settings with Jaws Key+6, press Control+Shift+D to make sure default settings are loaded and type “lower” into the search box.

You will have 1 search result which says “Lower audio volume of other programs while Jaws speaks”, make sure this is unchecked.

Hi Richard I just download and installed jaws 2018 on Monday afternoon when I was only used jaws 18!! When I was using jaws 2018 I setup all my speech and jaws pitch and etc like I have on jaws 18  but jaws 2018 isn’t loud enough for me to hear with my hearing aid  so I had to turns up the speaker volume up louder to hear better . Then 2 day later I switch back to jaws 18 it was too loud I had to turns down the speaker volume to hear jaws better so there is something strange I have to turns up louder on jaws 2018  less than jaws 18 !! I don’t hasve jaws 2019

In the body of your message, you only say 18. I am guessing you mean 19 sounds better or louder?
