Hello Listers,

When I press the windows key on my laptop, I see there’s a Windows 10 app called Voice Recorder listed. With my internal microphone turned on, I tried recording a test file. I then tried listening to the recording.M4A file I created in my sound recordings subfolder, in the documents folder, but heard nothing. Can anyone give me the procedure for using Voice Recorder?

Thanks,

Paul

While I didn’t hear from anyone who is a user of Express-Scripts yet, I sent in feedback on the website and got a fast response. She offered me help getting my immediate needs for a prescription met and also connected me with a usability representative who also knows JAWS.  We met yesterday so I could show him my challenge.  I showed him that the menu to open options for prescriptions wasn’t working as I’d expect and that I had to use the JAWS cursor.  He suggested another route that I’ll be testing for using the Links List.  The guy was truly interested in my experience and what could make it better.  Once I got to where I could refill my prescription, the process was really smooth. 

Just wanted to share, in case any of you do end up using Express-Scripts for your Rx insurance.

Anyone else an Express-Scripts user for prescriptions?  I have refilled on their website before, but they redesigned it since my last refill and now I cannot get to where I need to refill.  It appears (from

the bit of remaining vision I have) that they have made it like tabs across the page and I think I see drop down arrows that expand when you click on the tab. JAWS read the tabs as buttons and says menu expanded, but it also goes into forms mode and then I cannot navigate I tried using the JAWS cursor and I’m not sure if it did anything or not.  Also, even when it says an in-page link for available refills, I cannot find anything refreshing in the main area to show my prescriptions.  So frustrated.  I filled in a complaint on the feedback form, but wondering if anyone else is a user and can test it, too. 

I am using latest JAWS 202 and Google Chrome.

I guess I’ll call an AIRA agent to help me navigate.

I tried these instructions via the windows run command.  Once again, the shortcut was successfully created on the desktop, but hitting enter on the desktop shortcut does not launch the program.

Considering the shortcut key invokes the desktop shortcut – yeah that is pretty strange.

I personally never use the desktop by putting stuff on it and navigating around to find them. I’ll use it if I really want a keyboard shortcut to activate a programme, which, yeah, sometimes I do. Otherwise though, it always seems to me that there are more efficient ways to start something (for me, often that’s using the run box and just typing in the name, but I realise that isn’t going to be the case for everyone).

Does the programme have switches that are supposed to be invoked with the running? E.g.: programname /blahblah

If so, and the switches are not present causing the programme to terminate unexpectedly, maybe the programmer didn’t put in any error message to return on the display.

When using the Windows run command and going to the shellapps folder, the program does nothing, like was the case when hitting enter on  the original desktop shortcut.

Yet, when I use the shortcut key command that I created for the program, the program opens just fine.

At least I got that to work.

Tom Behler

Hm…

When you use the run command though, do you get the “windows could not find…” etc error message, or does it just do nothing like when you activate the shortcut?

The name in alla pps and the name of the executable aren’t necessarily the same.

But it sounds like you already found the programme/location, anyway.

JM:

The program runs fine when I access it from the all apps list.

However, interestingly, I can’t access it via the windows R run command.  I double-checked the name of the program in the all apps list before entering the name into the run command edit box, but the program still won’t come up that way.

Again, though, it works just fine when accessing it from the All Apps list.

Tom Behler

Tom,

Find the location of the actual programme on your computer (not the shortcut), and see if that runs

Will probably be installed in c:\program files or c:\program files (x86)

If you examine the file properties of the short-cut (alt-enter on the shortcut) it will tell you where the programme location  and executable filename is.

If you use the “run” command you should just be able to type in that name and if the programme doesn’t run still – you know the problem isn’t with the shortcut.

Cathyanne:

Unfortunately, that did not work for me.

In other words, I got the same results;  the shortcut shows up on the desktop, but nothing happens when I highlight it and press enter on it.

If you or any others have more suggestions, I’ll give them a try.

Good morning:

When downloading a file with a browser, how can you get the screen reader to read the percentage of the file being downloaded?

Thak you.

I have never got stuck setting up an ehco device useing the IOS app. It has even got easier than ever.

I had know problem setting mine up. The speaker will give you a network setting from Amazon. You need to open that connection, then change it there to your network name. It will be numbers, but can’t remember the numbers off hand. This must be done from the computer.

Tim: There are several ways in which to get stuck while you set up an Echo Dot. the best way, I have found, is to call Amazon’s disability line: (888) 283-1678. That got me through no problem, Nd I’ve set up two with their assistance.

Hello Listers,

 

I just received an early Christmas present from a dear friend, an Echo Dot.  I know this is a bit off-topic for this list, but I am hoping someone has instructions so I can set it up?  Also, any set of commands I can perform after setup.  Thanks!

open the game then press insert plus space then s to toggle speech to on demand. this will silence Jaws during the game. they have changed this since I used it last and I think it will  talk if you do a jaws specific key combo. In the past it just silenced Jaws totally
