You make a good distinction. The problem isn't the notification, but the fact that it might be necessary.

In my case, I don't get it often, and usually I can recognize something I did to cause it, such as trying to accomplish too much too fast.

That item is unchecked for me, but I still get the announcement at times using Jaws 2021 beta.

I'm not sure it is a bug to be told Jaws is lost, that is a good feature; However, the fact that Jaws loses focus as much as it does is a bug in my opinion.

You could press insert-V for the JAWS options dialog, type "focus"
without the quotes and ensure that focus loss announcement is not checked. As Jessica asked giving us more info might help.
Are you using the latest build of JAWS 2020 from August?
What version of Windows are you using?
If Windows 10 which build or version of Win10? You could type "winver"
in the run dialog to get this information.
Does this happen in a particular program?

Jessica,
I am glad you are not experiencing this issue. For those of us who do it
remains quite annoying . 2020 version was better than 2019 but so far with
the beta we have gone backwards. Running latest versions of JAWS and
Windows.

If you need a wider cell in a spreadsheet an option is to merge cells and you don't have to worry about word wrap. Generally I have found that if you are using the default cells across a row, you can get eight cells in portrate mode on an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet of paper.

Subject: Width of cell in Excel





Hello, I'm using most recent versions of windows10 and Jaws2020. I'm also using Office 2016. I want to change the width of a cell. When I got to the spot to change the width it said it was 8.11. Is that the number of characters that can fit in the cell?

Then to change the width of a entire column, I would have to highlight the column and then make the size of the cell wider. Cheers, Kevin

Actually, how much text Will fit in a cell? I’m told if you put too much text in a cell it just plain doesn’t look right

My Jaws versions of 2018 and 2019 don't always respond to these commands so I press alt h then tab to cells format then press enter, and I can choose between row height, column width,etc with the up and down arrows. Or sometimes I'll restart Jaws, but that doesn't always help either.



Hope that helps.

Well, it seems to be less obvious these days.

I'll post a link to a Microsoft support page below, but one way to get there is to press alt+q, type cell width, arrow down to cell width and hit enter.



Maybe there is a more direct way.



Here is the page I got from searching the web:

That item is unchecked for me, but I still get the announcement at times using Jaws 2021 beta.

I'm not sure it is a bug to be told Jaws is lost, that is a good feature; However, the fact that Jaws loses focus as much as it does is a bug in my opinion.

Milton Ota
 

I have several different programs that I have in my toolbox but if you have been following the progress of updates for JAWS from Vispero/Freedom Scientific the OCR program that is part of JAWS 2020 and beyond will do a great job of reading PDF’s.

 

The OCR program that is part of JAWS will also scan a print page if you have a scanner that is either a flatbed or a camera like the Pearl from Freedom Scientific.

 

If you are interested in knowing what programs I have in my toolbox you will need to write me off list.

Hi,

I know this is super late, but I use Abbyy Fine Reader. I love it! It is expensive, but it is well worth it, because it also reads PDFs that are images. It makes for a very useful tool, and I feel as though it pays for itself within even the first couple of uses.

moderated Re: I'm encountering a very strange sound card issue with trying to switch JAWS to an internal card.

Don Risavy, Jr. <djrisavyjr@...>
 

You'll need to make the external sound card the default card either by
searching for it through system settings (windows) or the control panel and
set it as the default sound card then have jaws use the on board sound card
which this can be done through jaws (insert+j), u for utilities and then
locate sound card settings and open it and then use the on board sound card
for jaws to use only instead of the default sound card which the default
sound card by default will be the on board sound card unless change it to
another sound card either an external one or internal one.
This wil allow for any sounds or audio/music to come out of the external
sound card and jaws will talk through the on board sound card only.
This is how have my computer set up to do as use my sound blaster Audigy
internal soundcard and separate speakers for music and any other audio and
then the on board Realtek sound card just for jaws.
So hope that might help.

Hi Orlando.

If you plug in headphones into the Yeti while Starting Windows, you'll hear
your sounds through it. I agree, it's annoying, but at least I know what to
do.

Windows allows any registered device to play any application's audio, with
the exception of system sounds, which are always mapped to the default audio
device. So, if your media player shows up in the sound mixer applet or the
old SNDVol control, you can have it play through any device you have. You
can even have different media players or web browsers play through different
audio devices from the default.

Thank God, your question has a simple answer. Speaking of Yeti, I have a
Blue Yeti stereo USB microphone that sounds fantastic and has four polarity
patterns. However, one of the "features" that probably seemed like a good
idea to the Yeti's developers is proving to be a throbbing headache for me.
The Yeti has a stereo eighth-inch headphone jack intended to allow users to
monitor their mic output without intermediary devices. The problem is that
this headphone output shows up in Windows as a Yeti speaker, which is, of
course, a phantom silent device. Disabling it in its properties is the only
way to keep it from appearing. Uninstalling it via the Device Manager only
lasts until plug&play picks it up during the next reboot.
Most annoying of all, Windows defaults to this phantom Yeti device

during installations, in the advanced boot menu and safe mode. I've combed
the registry for references to it. Why this phantom device would end up
being the pre-Windows default boggles my mind, and there's apparently
nothing I can do to make Windows use my USB audio device or the
motherboard's sound card to run narrator before Windows proper loads.
My only workaround is to unplug the Yeti from its USB port whenever I know
I'll be using Narrator before Windows loads with my actual sound
configuration.
Riddle me all this, my fellow blind geniuses!
