Hi everyone,

 

I have a website-based question; I am using Windows 10 and Jaws 2020.

 

I am the primary admin for a Eucharistic adoration ministry in my parish, and that ministry uses a web-based application called We Adore Him to control adorer scheduling.  I have successfully used the software since August 2018 and, after being shut down by COVID-19 since mid-March, we are preparing to open the chapel again.  As a result, I have been assisting adorers to choose an hour in the weekly calendar.  All went well until Wednesday, October 21, when the weekly calendar suddenly would not display when I arrowed to it; it now displays the hour at midnight, tells me that one slot is available, and when I arrow down in order to go to a particular hour of the day, I am at the bottom of the screen.

 

I am using the Jaws cursor which appears for all websites, and I have checked to be sure that my screen is maximized and in full-screen mode in Chrome.  A sighted tech-savvy friend has assisted me via Zoom and screen-share, and she tells me that the full schedule, showing adorers signed up for this or that hour--is showing on the screen.  I have contacted On Fire Media to ask them if they have been testing and that might be the reason for my issue, but they have not.  They are aware of Jaws and have a demo copy to use.  I can navigate the screen in My Dashboard if I want to update the settings in my account, but whenever I choose "Schedule", choose the particular week, I only see the first entry.

 

I honestly don't know if this is a Jaws focus issue or something entirely different.  Can you please remind me of the keystrokes for the rotor which a user can look at in the case of a focus issue?  Or, alternatively, do you have other suggestions?

 

I have tried everything I can think of.

 

Thank you for any ideas or suggestions,

 

Greg Daniel

Hmm, that’s strange. Do you have JAWS set to read labeled graphics?

I clicked on one, and it was the search button. I typed in something, and the search results were all unlabeled.

I’ve been following this thread.  I downloaded Grover, I’m not sure how you are getting to any of the controls you mentioned.  All I here is “button”, “button”, button”.  What exactly are these buttons.  I could get no explanation and I’m certainly not going to  click on something I don’t know what it does.

I use Grover. It’s accessible. I can search for, find, subscribe, unsubscribe, fast forward, rewind, and of course play and pause podcasts.

It’s available in the Microsoft store.

Are there any accessible podcast apps so I can subscribe to different podcasts on my Windows 10 computer?

Hi,

  It is harder to connect some blue tooth headphones with laptops than a phone.

Try having your laptop search for devices under the blue tooth setting.

Sometimes the headphones are discovered under a weird name.

You may need to try the search a couple of times .

Try turning off and then on the blue tooth settings on your laptop to see if this initiates a new search.

I have also found that Bluetooth headphones, depending on brand, are not as reliable as with  a phone.

Hi,

I’ve used Bluetooth earphones with my iPhone, but not with a laptop  the headphone jack on my work laptop seems to be not working. I’m not finding any plug in earbuds or headphoens in my house that will work so I can hear JAWS.  I thought I could try pairing the earpiece I use with my iPhone. I turned off the Bluetooth connection on my iPhone and turned on Bleutooth in the laptop; however, I don’t see the earpiece showing up in the list, even though my earpiece is in pairing mode.    Am I going about this the correct way?  Should a basic, Bluetooth earpiece that works with an iPhone also work with a laptop or is there a difference?  I think this is a Plantronics earpiece, but I’m not positive.  It’s possible my company has some security restriction on Bluetooth, but I dread calling our helpdesk to ask.

I just tried it after signing up.

I was able to hear the subject field and the message field after hitting the compose button in the messages list with both Jaws 2020 and Jaws 2021 beta.

I’m using the new Chromium Edge.

Maybe try that and see if it works better.

Hello Group,

 

For a number of years, I have been a member of the Nextdoor.com neighborhood site, specific to my immediate neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods.

Until recently, I have been able to post messages to the site which I attempted to do e arlier this morning. However, as soon as I opened the message link, and tabbed to the subject field, Jaws stopped speaking. Nonetheless, I tabbed to the message body field and began composing a message. Again, JAWS was silent, so I could not read the content of what I was writing.

I have been using Google Chrome for a couple of months. Could this be a Google issue, or do I need to do a JAWS repair, try a different browser or is Nextdoor no longer accessible as it has been, necessitating bringing this to their attention.  

I would guess that some of the US members have and do use this site.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Peace to all,  Justin  

I don’t know how to turn on notifications in Google Chrome.  From what I have read, it sounds to me like when you turn on notifications in Google chrome you get notifications from other web sites, which I don’t want to do.  Am I right or am I wrong?  If you can tell me how to turn on notifications in Google Chrome I would appreciate it.

Richard,

            And bless you for knowing and identifying this situation as something idiosyncratic to your setup, because it has to be.  You could try running a repair install on Office 365 and see if that fixes the issue.  It often will.

            Far too many insist when "something odd" is happening that it must be a bug or otherwise due to external causes.  In the computing world when you get "odd man out" behaviors like this they are almost always due to something idiosyncratic to the computer on which they're occurring.  Real bugs hit a huge number of users in the same way.

I already posted them, but I’d also check out Brian Vogel’s link.

What I do after creating the group name, is press alt+h, then m.

That activates the add members.

Unlike others, I have little success arrowing up and down through the list of contacts, but you can search for contacts and add them.

I’m sure results will vary as not everyone has the same outlook configuration.

Hi Richard, if you can get  the key strokes to select the contact that would be great.  This is just driving many of us crazy.  Thanks so much andy and Shubert rip

This is incorrect and needs to stop being repeated.  You can put entries from Address Book, Contacts, or New Email Addresses into any contact group.

I honestly think I must be talking to the air most of the time when I post step-by-step instructions that cover exactly what to do and they're ignored, and the same things that have been discussed or corrected are brought up again, hours to days later, because reading through an entire topic before adding to it is not being done.

Members, please read through a topic to determine what's been said by everyone before you add your own next message to it.  It prevents repetition, for one thing.
