Seeking phone editor that works well with JAWS
Craig Cooper
Greetings,
I am trying to find the most efficient phone editing program to work with JAWS. As part of my job at a radio station, I record calls that come in, edit them for playback, and play back the call on air. I have been working with Audacity for a week or so. It is free and works fairly well with JAWS, but it also tends to crash frequently. It is not hard to re-launch it, but it does take precious time, as I frequently have to quickly edit a call for play back. Your suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Craig

I use file history, I also have image for windows. I have so much data to do a file backup with image for windows takes a long time. I tried to do a backup where only the files that have changed get backuped by image for windows. I like file history. Thanks for all your help on the list. Have a good day.

Searching the computer file
Nino Dagostino
When you do a search by pressing the windows key and letting up on it, can you set the file manager to search the computer and not the web.
Thank you so much.

Where's the store? Second answerer: Did you not hear the person

answerer: Dammit, I just heard two people tell you. One more time,
it's over freaking there! Second example: Where's the store? It's
over there. Sorry, I can't see where you're pointing. Could you,
would you, please tell me in more substantive terms, such as, it's

Re: What backup software can we use with jaws?
Steve Matzura
Brian, et al.:
While JAWS is useful to access programs to make backups,
restoring one's system disk using JAWS as one's screenreader is
next to not possible. There are backup programs that create a
special partition in which JAWS can be installed and run so
boot-drive restores can be done using it, but most of the programs
that offer this facility aren't accessible, with or without JAWS.
That's why one needs to know one's options for booting external
media that has a screenreader installed on it. The Windows
Pre-installation Environment is just one of those options. If one
has Windows 10 version 1803, Narrator is a viable alternative. Re your comment about downloading and booting the WinPE and trying to start some kind of speech on it, if I didn't imply or specifically state this before, there's nought you have to do to start NVDA on that thing. If you would just follow some of your own advice and read, really and truly read, the provided documentation before cranking it up, you'll be quite pleased with the results. Back in the old days, the watchword was always RTFM--read the fine manual. Unfortunately, many manuals were poorly written and in a lot of cases woefully incomplete and sometimes out-of-date for the programs they documented, so many people fell out of this practice. But today, things are vastly better, and the programs those manuals document are vastly more complex, so manual-reading is, in my unhumble opinion, a must for first-timers, and a good place to go to get quick and accurate answers for even us crusty curmudgeon veterans. It never ceases to confound me as to why someone would buy a piece of technology and not want to learn as much about it as they could from its provided documentation. OK, I own a television, but while I don't care or even need to care about how TV works, I do know and care about how to use it--its menus, options, what media it can play, what it can connect to, etc. If folks would do a bit more manual-reading, and asking questions about what they read that they don't understand, people would get a lot more work done in a lot less time. These computers with which we all have love-hate relationships, they ain't toasters, ya know. That is to say, they're complex machines that require care and occasional maintenance.

Re: paprika recipe manager?
Hi Jessica,
After I went to Paprika’s website and clicked on support the Submit a Request link was pretty easy to find. It’s a straight forward webform where you fill in your email address, a subject, details about your issue and a few other pieces of information about the device you use, your version of Paprika and operating system etc. You can click on the link I probided and it will take you straight there.
Good luck, Siegharrd

In particular I am talking about image for windows, how can I copy the image bit by bit as not to loose licenses?You keep asking this question as though "bit-by-bit" is the one and only way this can be done. Disc cloning is, bit-by-bit (or, more accurately, block by block) duplication of an existing disc to another. The target disc can be either larger or smaller than the source disc so long as the entirety of the actual data and empty space in formatted partitions can fit on the target disc. Each and every system image backup utility, which does not literally do a bit by bit clone, can and does reconstruct a system on the physical disc to which the image is being restored such that all user data, software, licenses, etc., are completely intact. That's its whole reason for being, and it is preferred to cloning since a full system image backup does not require it's own dedicated drive, like a clone does. I have 5 different systems in my household backed up on two external backup drives and still have plenty of space on each of those respective drives for other uses when I need it. There is nothing about keeping your licenses and everything else that need involve cloning, and typically it won't involve cloning. Some people, though, do use disc cloning as their backup method, but that requires sacrificing the ability to use the drives cloned to for any other purpose, or at least the portion taken up by the exact amount of partitioned space from the drive that was cloned. One could, in theory, create a separate partition in free space beyond the physical limit of the cloned area itself. But talk about going around Jake's barn to do something, no, thanks. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill

Re: paprika recipe manager?
Hi Bill,
I think Jessica misspelled, she wrote “100% enaccessible” instead of 100% inaccessible”. I bought the Paprika Windows app a few years ago when it was still a desktop app and it was very inaccessible then, I assume they maybe have a Windows 10 app now, whether it’s designed as a UWP app or just a ported desktop app I don’t know. Anyhow, you can use it on an iPhone where it is actually extremely accessible. Yes, it would be nice if the Windows version were also accessible since I could imagine it would be easier if you wanted to bring some of your own recipes into Paprika to do this on a PC. I actually have quite a lot of recipes which I simply saved as text files and if I could use Paprika on the PC I could just make a new reccipe and then copy and paste from Notepad into Paprika, but sadly for now this is not an option.

I wouldn't hae left the drive plugged in, partly because I suspect there is a drop in available processing while it is backing up, but honestly I hadn't considered the Ransomware potential. Knock on wood, I have not ever had that issue, but I truly do
not open things unless I am absolutely sure it is from a reliable source.
Thanks again for your help,

Re: Backup Software - Semi-Accessible
Richard,
One thing I will tell you, which sounds quite counterintuitive, but do not leave your backup drive connected to your computer at all times, particularly if you know you don't need hourly, or even daily, backups on a routine basis. The reason for this is the appearance of ransomware on the scene to a greater extent than in the past. In almost all cases, if you are unfortunate enough to be hit by ransomware, each and every drive attached to the machine will be encrypted. The last thing you want to have encrypted is your backup drive (unless you're really anal retentive, have two, and swap them out on a routine basis - which is a PITA because you have to tell File History or whatever that its target drive has changed). If you have File History set up, and you keep the drive disconnected, Windows 10 will nag you (and I think the interval may be based on how you set up File History frequency) about the drive having been disconnected for too long, and to connect it. This is actually a good thing, at least as far as I'm concerned, because I can dismiss the message yet rely on it reappearing. I respond to it as often as I feel I need to based on how much new user data has been created since I last let File History do a backup. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill

Thanks Brian,
That is very helpful. I found a web site from How To Geek, that explains how to use File History. I will try this later and let folks know if no one else has by then how accessible it is.

It was always my understanding that you can’t do anything in regards to working in something like safe moad or backing up a pc with out sighted help since the drivers for speech are not loaded. Having said that though I don’t have the tecknickle know how to do sutch a thing anyways.

Brian is right about this issue. I have been requesting a tutorial or demonstration on how to restore a backup image from an external drive without sighted help of any kind for years, but nobody has taken the bait, probably because despite claims to the contrary, it cannot be done by an average blind computer user or else does not work on all systems. I think this is all hypothetical. . And in any event it most definitely cannot be done using JAWS.

Backup Software - Semi-Accessible
I'm starting this thread in it hopes that it might address an issue brought up on another thread, that of incremental backups, as well as addressing what's "accessible enough."
I'm starting this out with saying that I'm a complete realist: The lucky among us will never need our backups, setting up backups for a given system - whether for a full system image, user data backups, or both - is typically a one-time affair, and actual recovery after a catastrophic failure is likely to be very difficult, even if 100% accessible, for the uninitiated. Thus, my focus on accessibility when pushed will always be on the end user being able to run their backups 100% independently once they've been configured. The configuration of backups and recovery using them will very likely require an assistant. I hasten to add that this applies just as much to those who are sighted as those who are not. Even if assistance is required for "the far ends" that's a far preferable way to have things, while you're maintaining your backups, than to simply avoid having backups. The more precious your data and, probably to a lesser extent, but still, your time the more critical it is to have a backup protocol using some sort of backup software for your system itself and your user data. Under Windows 10, for user data backup I haven't found anything I like better than File History, and I've used others. It's about as straightforward as it comes in keeping user data backups. You simply have to decide how frequently you wish to have your files backed up (for me, once a day is more than enough, the default is hourly), and how long you want to keep the versions of the same file that get backed up (for me three months is plenty; I've never needed any version that was older than that, and the "latest" version of files untouched will be kept forever unless you delete them, no matter when you made your final tweaks). I would be curious about what individuals are actually using that may not be 100% accessible, end to end, but that is completely accessible for maintaining active system image backups and/or data backups. Specifically useful would be knowing if the software was paid/free, if it's a free version whether it supports incremental and/or differential backups [and these are not the same]. For those wanting to know the difference between the two, run this duckduckgo search: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=incremental+versus+differential+backups and look at the second returned result first (or at least that's my favorite; the first isn't bad either). There are scads of general discussions of the differences and each of the "big boys of backup" talking about what they are and how to set them up. There have got to be folks using not-100% accessible software to maintain backups, praying that they'll be lucky and never need them anyway. If so, please offer your experiences. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill

I have read all the posts, and because we were talking at cross purposes at first, things did not make sense.
I was always looking for a way to do incremental backups, and the answers were all about image backups.
I will now cease and desist because it would appear there is no solution for me other than manually doing the backups by copying and pasting.
