Re: What is "eb dessi"
JM Casey
That’s very strange. I wonder if JAWS is reading bits of some non-standard window that’s being overlaid somehow. It sounds like a *part* of something rather than full/legible words. Has a sighted person looked at your screen recently and seen anything strange? Do NVDA or Narrator also read “eb dessi”? Do you get this more often with virtual cursor than with pc cursor (IE, more often in web time environments)?

I am running the latest JAWS on Windows 7 and lately, I have noticed that JAWS is saying "eb dessi" in seemingly random places. here is a sample from my speech history as I was searching Facebook. This doesn't only show up on Facebook, this is just an example.

Who knows. Maybe you should go over to his place with the drive and poke around on his system, see what you can figure out.

After I gave the thumb drive to my friend and he discovered that his computers would not display the files, he returned it to me and I put the drive into my computer and was able to view the files and even open one of the Word Documents. Everything was as it should be on my computer. Why not on his?

Did you wait for the files to finish transferring? If there was a lot of them it would take a minute or 3. Clicking on the remove drive before the files finished could result in the transfer being canceled. On 10/1/2020 5:54 PM, Marty Hutchings wrote:

Re: Files not showing up

I copied the files from my documents folder on my computer by selecting the
folder in My Documents, copying to the clip board, Alt Tab to the thumb drive
and pasting. Then I closed My Documents and the thumb drive, went to the
System Tray and went to Safely Remove Device button, hit it and arrowed down to
the drive and hit Enter and waited until it said that it is now safe to remove
the drive.

The files are from a thumb drive. Actually, two thumb drives were tried, the second one being brand new.

The other thing that I was thinking, are these files being copied from dropbox? If so, sometimes there is a dialog box that opens to ask you if you want to copy the files without their properties. If you don’t know this is open it will copy the folders but not the files. Just a suggestion. If you need any help, reply

No
it’s a little program that comes on the thumb drive itself most of the bigger
thumb drive suppliers supply these little security programs on the drive. I
always format the drive completely and get rid of all that stuff before I use
it. Has nothing to do with windows. If you get a brand new flash drive put it in
your USB port. And open it you’ll see an application and a couple files that
come on the hard drive. And sometimes these can cause issues. Substitute thumb
drive everywhere says hard drive. :-) I’m using dictation on my phone… Randy Barnett

I am using Windows 7 and the latest JAWS on a desktop computer
that I copied a folder with 2 subfolders containing Word documents onto a flash
drive. I gave a friend this flash drive . the first sub folder has
over 200 Word documents, some .doc and some .docx files and the second sub
folder had 11 Word documents in it. My friend has 2 laptops both running
Windows 10. He is not a JAWS user as he is sighted. When he plugs
this flash drive in to either of these computers, he can see the folder and
subfolders, but when he opens the subfolders, there are no files in them.
Can any one please tell me why? We first thought that the flash drive was

Both drives work fine on my computer, that is I can access the files.

Public Service Announcement curtesy of Blind Bargains

Be My Eyes makes accessible voting information available through its appTangela Mahaffey Sep 30, 2020 10:03 PM ET
Voting is important, in 2020 perhaps more so than ever. However, the ongoing COVID19 changes mean that this process looks different than it has in years past. Be My Eyes is making accessible voting information available by state in its app. See the text of the Be My Eyes email, and find out about some patriotic items available from the National Braille Press, below. As blind and low-vision people, we are underestimated and underrepresented every day of our lives. Voting in an election is our chance to change that. We may only turn out a few
million strong, but in an election, that can make a big difference. Using Be My Eyes, you can check whether you are registered to vote, be guided through registering if you are not already, and receive information about voting by mail and COVID-19 guidelines specific to your state. According to Will Butler, president of Be my Eyes, "In a time where social distancing is still a huge part of daily lives for all Americans, it’s more important than ever that everyone has a way to access all necessary information, to make sure that they are motivated and confident about voting come November." Inn order to access voting information and assistance, open the Be My Eyes app, enter the Specialized Help menu and select Vote.org from the list of available organizations in the “Civic Engagement” category. Vote.org volunteers will be open to take your calls through Be My Eyes Monday through Friday 12pm to 4pm ET. Additionally, the National Braille press has begun to offer several braille and tactile items potentially of interest to voters across the nation. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States are available as a brf document or single volume braille book. You can receive 1 copy of these documents, in either downloadable braille file or physical braille book, free of charge, and can email the National Braille Press at orders@... to discuss the cost of receiving multiple copies. The National Braille Press also provides a tactile American flag with the pledge of aleagance written in either contracted or uncontracted braille. The product discription reads, Does your child or student know what the American flag looks like? Have they read the Pledge of Allegiance? You can buy your tactile flag now for $5.00

Word Press Accessibility Day October 2
Norma A. Boge
Hi group,
Although targeted to website developers, this event offers a rare insight into how developers approach accessibility and the tools they use. There are sessions regarding screen readers, and a visually impaired screen reader user and web developer will be speaking. From the point of view of most of us, these sessions might give us tips on how we can better communicate our needs to not only those who develop for WP but for any site. This event is free and open to everyone, no registration required, just drop in as you like.
Here’s the link to the full schedule: https://wpaccessibilityday.org/
HTH, Norma

Re: Have Files in Alphabetical Order

IMO, an easier way is to tab to a name split button and press spacebar. now you should be returned to the list of files in reverse order.
