Re: Beta 2 Observation
Dan Longmore
Hi, The issue has been around for a while now. Sometimes you will get “0 messages” after Outlook has been running for some time. This occurs with the latest Outlook in Office 365. Scrolling up and down or tabbing away and back seems to fix things for a time. Also JAWS 2021 still loses focus like prior versions using the phrase “ unavailable”. for a Windows explorer window. Again tabbing away or around fixes the problem.

I only get 0 items if I press a key too quickly after launching Jaws. If I let outlook finish loading, all works fine. This has been the case for a couple versions now. It is only a matter of a couple of seconds, but those couple seconds make all the difference.

Beta 2 seems to be working much better than beta 1. The only thing I've noticed is that when opening Outlook when in the in-box, Jaws says ,:" 0 items. This happens no matter how many messages there are. I've reported this to FS.

Blank tables in Outlook365
Don Mauck
Hi, I get most of my emails sent to me in the HTML format. When I open an email up, there are usually at least two blank tables which all get read by JAWS. I probably should know this but I don’t know what those tables are nor how to stop them from being read. Can someone jog my memory on this?

Re: Office/Outlook spell check question
Cohn, Jonathan
Documents can be multilingual. So the dictionary and speech output can change within each document. So, first go into your Outlook/Word settings and make sure your default language is US/Canadian. But then if you are replying to a message from somebody in USA it could probably be switched back to US.
In JAWS there is a setting to not only switch synthesizers on language but on dialect. If you click this, then JAWS should speak differently for US English and UK English and Indian English. I am not sure if there are any speech synthesizers for Canadian dialects. So perhaps my suggestions of toggle that JAWS setting won't help you to recognize you have switched dialects.

JAWS2021 Beta2 Build, 2009.52.40, Download & Beta Report Form Links + What's New
Mike B
Hi All,
Below is the download link for both the 32 and 64 bit
versions, a link to the Beta report form and what's new in this
release.
32 and 64 Bit Download Link:
Beta Report Form Link:
Enhancements in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion 2021 Public Beta 2 The following is a list of improvements made between Public Beta 1 and
Public Beta 2. Note that while many customer-reported enhancements are
included
in this release, the following is a list of more notable changes. Automatic Message Reading in Outlook 365
When you open a message from the Inbox in Outlook 365, JAWS and Fusion will
now immediately begin reading the message contents without reading the
title
or header information. Currently, messages are not automatically read if you ALT+TAB to an open message, or you press ENTER on a message in the Inbox that is already open. To further customize how messages are read, open Quick Settings (INSERT+V)
while in Outlook, search for "message," and configure any of the resulting
options.
A few items you might want to change include: list of 3 items
• Message Header Field with Message Announcement: Turn this option on if you want JAWS and Fusion to announce the sender's email address and the subject of the message when a message opens or gains focus. • Messages Automatically Read: Turn this option off if you do not want JAWS and Fusion to automatically read messages when they are opened. • Speak Window Titles For Read-only Messages Automatically: Turn this option on if you want JAWS and Fusion to announce the title of the message window when a message opens or gains focus. list end Enhancements in JAWS 2021 Public Beta 2
list of 13 items • Added a new Settings Center and Quick Settings option called "Pan Text by Paragraph" which is off by default. When enabled, JAWS sends an entire paragraph to the braille display instead of only the current line as you navigate web pages and documents. This can help improve the flow of reading when panning through text as you are less likely to encounter large amounts of empty space on the display when you reach the end of a line. You should now only encounter blank space if you reach the end of a paragraph, and you would move to the start of the next paragraph when panning again. • While in a Zoom meeting, you can now press CTRL+SHIFT+T to find out who is currently talking. Zoom recently added this option with CTRL+2 but we were previously using it for a JAWS feature. • When using the Voice Assistant in JAWS, you can now quickly specify whether or not JAWS listens for the wake word by pressing INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR twice quickly. Whether the wake word is on or off, you can always press this keystroke one time to have JAWS start listening for a voice command. • In the Sound Control Panel applet, resolved a reported issue where JAWS was not reading as expected in the list views on the Playback and Recording pages. • Addressed a reported issue where the JAWS settings Import/Export feature was not working as expected when using Windows folder redirection. • The default graphics verbosity for JAWS is now to read only labeled graphics as it is no longer as important for JAWS to read graphics that are not labeled. If you encounter a situation where you need to read unlabeled graphics, or you do not want to hear graphics at all, open Settings Center and search for Graphics Verbosity. • JAWS no longer automatically disables the "Show animations in windows" setting while running. • Added five new Japanese voices to the Add/Remove Voices utility, which allows you to sample and download Vocalizer Expressive 2 voices for use with JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion. • When using CTRL+DELETE or CTRL+BACKSPACE to delete by word in Office 365, resolved an issue where JAWS was too verbose. • Resolved a reported issue with Windows 10 Insider Builds where Outlook becomes unusable with JAWS after leaving your system idle for a long period of time. • Resolved an issue where a user had over 200 entries in a JKM (Keyboard Manager) file, causing some commands to not work as expected. We now have extended the number allowed. • Fusion and JAWS 2021 will now interrupt reading when you press the WINDOWS Key to open the Start Menu. • Resolved an issue with navigating to the configuration editor in Thunderbird Email when running JAWS or Fusion. list end Enhancements in ZoomText 2021 and Fusion 2021 Public Beta 2
list of 4 items • When installing ZoomText 2021 or Fusion 2021, you can now migrate your settings from an older ZoomText or Fusion release (for example, releases 2020 or 2019) to the latest ZoomText 2021 release. This includes features such as magnification level, color, pointer, cursor, and mouse enhancements, and any custom settings you created for applications. • Resolved a ZoomText tracking issue in InfoConnect. This is an application used by IRS employees. • Resolved several issues in Outlook 2016 and Outlook 365: list of 4 items nesting level 1 ◦ Focus enhancements and tracking now work correctly in the Select Names: Contacts dialog. ◦ The cursor enhancement is no longer visible while selecting text in a message. ◦ The cursor enhancement is now visible when you navigate to a link in a message. ◦ Addressed other focus enhancements issues when navigating various panes in Outlook 2016. list end nesting level 1 • Voice Assistant can now be enabled or disabled using the Voice Assistant check box in the Startup Wizard. list end Take care and stay safe. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

PermaLinks are normally used in circumstances, like online forums, or comments sections in newspapers (or elsewhere), that it would be otherwise impossible to get to that particular bit of content using the URL that's actually in the address bar.
It's a method to allow you to get to something directly that you might otherwise never be easily able to "drill down" and find in the future. The text itself has never had "PermaLink" shown, in my experience, but you get that notice via hover-over if you're sighted. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

"Perma Link" designation on webpage

All, Our company just started using SharePoint Online for our company news intranet site. As I navigate the page, I’m hearing “Perma link” I can actually even navigate this letter by letter, but am thinking it’s not visually on the page. Anyone her of this designation and know why this might be used over another method of tagging?
Here is a sample from JAWS speech history. I had just navigated to a story profiling a coworker. IT first read a heading with the story title, then the following;
