Re: Zoom and sharing computer sound
I have not done this, but it seems that if Jaws is coming over the headphones and the computer sounds are on the speakers, the alt+s and share computer sound should work without Jaws then going to everyone.

You might try using the Windows sound mixer app and making sure that JAWS is routed to your headset output. Just search the start menu for "mixer" and you'll find it. Alternately, you can type "sounds" and press enter on Sounds, System Settings. From there, tab to App Volume and Device Preferences. That will bring you to the exact same dialogue as the Sound Mixer options. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
>I also tried changing to the internal system microphone in audio >settings, but this still did not resolve the issue.
First of all, if you're sharing audio, you're using the speakers rather than the microphone. Zoom doesn't really clarify this, but when you share audio, you're streaming content that each participant hears on their chosen audio device. JAWS can't be routed to a microphone input, unless you have an inexplicable situation like I do with my Blue Yeti stereo USB microphone. Because it has a headphone output for monitoring the mic's sound right from the mic itself, the mic appears as both a microphone and speaker. This wouldn't be so bad if Windows didn't insist on using this phantom speaker as an audio device. Of course, since nothing is connecting this headphone output to any speaker, it's silent.

Re: Zoom and sharing computer sound
Hi, Shai. I am trying to share computer sound in Zoom so that I can play some audio to meeting attendees. I have a USB headset/microphone and I was told that the way to accomplish the task at hand is to change the sound card in JAWS to the headset and change the sound in the Zoom audio settings to speakers but even when I did this, from the audio settings menu in the Zoom meeting I had, the JAWS sound still came through. You might try using the Windows sound mixer app and making sure that JAWS is routed to your headset output. Just search the start menu for "mixer" and you'll find it. Alternately, you can type "sounds" and press enter on Sounds, System Settings. From there, tab to App Volume and Device Preferences.

Hello Afik, Thank you for your reply. If the devices were the same in JAWS and Zoom, then the sound of JAWS would be emitted on the other person's computer if I shared computer sound. I am trying not to have JAWS heard on the other side and just the audio of the music or occasionally video from Youtube that I would be playing.

Re: I have a stubborn Bluetooth speaker that doesn't cooperate with the JAWS feature to not cut off speech or let it start without cutting off the beginning of speech.
This sounds like possibly a speaker setting if there are any. Early MP3 players used to behave like this to make it sound like you were listening to a radio station where the DJ fades in one song as the previous song is ending. Something at least to research! Jonathan Cohn

Prior to this, I had wondered if given
when the Apex came onto the market, that its compatibility
with Windows10 might be an issue. It turns out that it is
indeed a problem.
One of the Technical reps from Human

resolve the compatibility issue, though he was not certain of
this. He also couldn't suggest a specific Dongal, as there are
any number of types to choose from.
I understand that Apex technology is
ageing out. However, at this point, I do not have $5K to
purchase a Braillenote.
Has anyone here encountered this same

Whether yes or no, any input is appreciated.

Re: I Cannot Install the new JAWS Beta
Thank you Loy,
I noticed there are four options, 1. only from the Microsoft Store, 2. anywhere, but warn me if tit is not from the Microsoft store, 3. anywhere but let me know if there is a comparable app in the Microsoft store, and 4. Anywhere.
That should help in the future.

Re: JAWS 2021 Beta Install freezes
Have you tried unloading jaws immediately after hitting the install?
That lets the jaws runtime version take over speech.
Or, Maybe try running Narrator instead of leaving Jaws running when trying to install the beta?

That should open the program as maximized, but a friend had the same problem and he only had to press, Windows key + up arrow, to maximize and it took care of the problem. I guess sometimes the screen won't

then press A to describe a photo acquired from the PEARL camera or a flatbed
scanner, F to describe a selected image file in Windows Explorer, C to
describe the current control, or B to describe an image on the Windows
Clipboard.
JAWS and Fusion 2021 continues to expand this feature by offering several
improvements including:
list of 3 items
. Describing images on web pages: If focused on an image that is part of a
web page, such as a photo on Facebook, pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, P followed
by C now describes the photo.
. Submitting images to multiple services to help improve accuracy: By
default, images are submitted to Microsoft for analyzing. However, the
Results Viewer now contains a More Results link which submits the image
again to additional services for analyzing and displays an updated
description. You can also add SHIFT to a Picture Smart command to use
multiple services. For example,
INSERT+SPACEBAR, P followed by SHIFT+F, SHIFT+C, or SHIFT+B.
. Using Picture Smart in multiple languages: If you are using JAWS or Fusion
in a language other than English and you attempt to use Picture Smart, JAWS
and Fusion will use machine translation to display descriptions in the
particular language. You can also manually choose from 38 languages for
displaying results, configurable using the new Picture Smart Language option
in Settings Center.
list end
Please note that these changes, especially the machine translation for other
languages, is still experimental, so things may not always work as expected.
Results will improve as we continue refining this functionality.
For more information on Picture Smart, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, P followed by
QUESTION MARK or refer to the Picture Smart topic in the JAWS help.
OCR Text Directly into a Word Document
The Convenient OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature has been enhanced
to support sending recognized text directly to Word. Convenient OCR enables
you to access images containing text that is part of the image and displays
this information in the Results Viewer. This includes onscreen images such
as the graphical setup screen for an application, an inaccessible PDF opened
in Adobe Reader, a currently selected image file in Windows Explorer, or a
document acquired by the PEARL camera or a flatbed scanner.
If Microsoft Office is installed on your system, you can now:
list of 2 items
. Use the new command INSERT+SPACEBAR, O followed by R to perform OCR on a
selected image file in File Explorer or the Desktop and place the recognized
text directly into a Word document. You can also press the APPLICATIONS key
and choose Convenient OCR to Word with JAWS or Fusion from the context menu.
. Use the new Open in Word link that appears at the top of the Results
Viewer once the OCR process is complete.
list end
For more information about using Convenient OCR, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O
followed by QUESTION MARK or refer to the Convenient OCR topic in the JAWS
help.
New Voice Assistant to Help with Various JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion Commands
and Features
The new Voice Assistant provides a way to interact with JAWS, ZoomText, and
Fusion in Windows 10 using speech input. Supported languages include
English, Dutch, German, Spanish, and French. Ask it to help you out with
various JAWS or ZoomText features using natural speech. This means that the
same action can be performed by more than one similar phrase instead of a
single predefined voice command. For instance, to launch JAWS Settings
Center, you could say "Settings Center" or "change settings." Unlike
keyboard shortcuts, which can be hard to remember, natural voice commands
are an easier way to interact with the JAWS or ZoomText software. Using
voice input to control JAWS or ZoomText can also benefit users with certain
conditions which prevent them from using a keyboard effectively.
The JAWS Voice Assistant uses your computer's internal microphone or you can
talk to it using an external microphone or headset. To tell the Voice
Assistant to begin listening for a specific command, there are three
options:
list of 2 items
. Press the key combination, INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR (CAPS LOCK+ALT+SPACEBAR for
ZoomText and Fusion).
. Speak a specific wake word which alerts to software to begin listening for
a voice command, similar to using an Alexa or Google Home device. The wake
word is "Sharky" for JAWS and "Zoomy" for ZoomText and Fusion. Speak this
word followed by a specific JAWS or ZoomText command, such as, "Sharky, list
links," or "Zoomy, increase zoom level."
list end
Note: The wake word is not available if you are using a Bluetooth
microphone. In this case, you must use the keystroke before speaking the
voice command.
list of 1 items
. From the JAWS main window, press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu, expand
the Voice Assistant submenu, and then select Talk to JAWS. From the ZoomText
or Fusion main window, select Talk to ZoomText.
list end
When the Voice Assistant starts listening for a voice command, a short audio
indicator plays, and a visual indicator is displayed. After hearing a voice
command, a different audio indicator plays until the command is processed.
After processing, the visual indicator is removed, a different, short, audio
indicator plays, and the desired JAWS or ZoomText action is performed.
If the Voice Assistant does not hear anything, the message, "Sorry, I didn't
hear anything" is spoken. If the Voice Assistant does not understand or if
the voice command is not supported, the message, "Sorry, I didn't catch
that" is spoken.
Note: Since all voice recognition processing is performed over the Internet
using Microsoft Services in the cloud, there will be a slight delay
depending on your connection. Be patient and experiment with different
commands. This is a new technology being added to our software products and
will continue to change and evolve over time. We welcome your suggestions
and feedback.
To turn off the Voice Assistant or change other options, such as whether or
not JAWS or ZoomText listens for the wake word or to turn off the sounds, do
one of the following:
list of 2 items
. For JAWS, open the JAWS Utilities menu, expand the Voice Assistant
submenu, and then select Settings.
. For ZoomText or Fusion, select the Tools tab, press DOWN ARROW on the
Voice Assistant drop down button, and select Settings.
list end
To learn more and to view a full list of voice commands for specific
actions, say "Sharky, help," or "Zoomy, help." You can also select Getting
Started from the Voice Assistant menu.
Here are a few commands you can try to help you get started.
For JAWS (Remember to say "Sharky" or press INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR before
speaking each command):
list of 10 items
. Help
. Talk faster
. Talk slower
. Change settings
. Command search
. What time is it
. OCR PDF
. List links
. List headings
. List spelling errors
list end
For ZoomText or Fusion (Remember to say "Zoomy" or press CAPS
LOCK+ALT+SPACEBAR before speaking each command):
list of 10 items
. Increase zoom level
. Zoom out
. Set zoom level to 5
. Where is my focus
. What time is it
. Activate speech
. Talk faster
. Open Reader app view
. Launch finder
. Change the color enhancement scheme
list end
Improved Microsoft Teams Support
list of 6 items
. If you press ENTER on a document in the Files list which opens the
inaccessible document viewer, you can now press ESC to return to the files
list. You are also prompted to use the SHIFT+F10 context menu and open the
document in the desktop application, which is the suggested method.
. You can now press ALT+1 through 5 to go directly to the first five tab
pages.
. Pressing ALT+LEFT ARROW now automatically activates the back button from
anywhere in Teams.
. You can now press ALT+H to hang up a call in progress.
. You can now press ALT+T to set focus to the Teams tree view, if visible.
Note that it is usually only visible if CTRL+3 has been pressed to show the
teams and channels list. The screen should also be maximized to ensure this
control is visible.
. Pressing ALT+R now raises or lowers your hand in a meeting.
list end
Teams also allows you to show meetings and calls in separate windows with
fewer controls. To do this, press CTRL+COMMA to open Preferences and select
the check box labeled: "Turn on new meeting experience (New meetings and
calls will open in separate windows. Requires restarting Teams.)" While JAWS
specific keystrokes for meetings and calls will not work in this split mode,
Microsoft has their own set of keystrokes you can review by pressing
CTRL+PERIOD.
New Keystroke for Changing the Punctuation Level
You can now press INSERT+SHIFT+2 on the number row to cycle through the four
punctuation levels which controls how much punctuation JAWS and Fusion speak
while reading. The available levels are None, Some, Most, and All. Similar
to toggling Screen Echo (INSERT+S) or Typing Echo (INSERT+2), the
punctuation level will revert back to the previous setting when JAWS or
Fusion is restarted. To permanently set a punctuation level, use the JAWS
Startup Wizard or Settings Center.
Announce Most Recent Windows Notification
You can now perform the new layered command INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by N to
have JAWS repeat the last notification that was spoken. Notifications
include an incoming Teams or Skype call, a recent Zoom message, a new email
in Outlook, and more. If you use a Focus braille display, you can also press
RIGHT
SHIFT+N (DOTS 1-3-4-5). To view and manage all your Windows
SHIFT+notifications,
use the Microsoft keystroke WINDOWS Key+A.
FS Support Tool for Gathering System Information
The FS Support Tool is a new utility that collects information about your
computer and sends a report to our Technical Support and Software
Development teams to help us troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing
while running JAWS, ZoomText, or Fusion. You will typically be asked to run
this utility during a technical support session if it is determined that
additional details about your system are needed. Some information that is
collected
includes:
list of 9 items
. System information such as processor, RAM, operating system, architecture,
and more . Event logs . Version of Adobe Reader (if installed) . Versions of
all installed web browsers . Information on installed Microsoft Office
applications . Crash dumps . Installation logs . Currently running system
processes . User settings list end
The FS Support Tool can be started from the Help menu in JAWS, or the
Support menu in ZoomText or Fusion and guides you through collecting and
submitting a report.
Announce Accessible Notification Events
By default, JAWS now automatically announces Windows generated accessible
event notifications in both speech and braille. These types of notifications
are found in a variety of places including business bars in Microsoft
Office. If you do not want to hear these announcements, open Settings Center
and clear the Enable Accessible Notification Events check box.

JAWS 2021 Beta Install freezes
When installing the JAWS 2021 beta, the install froze at 50 percent on one of my computers. It installed no problem on the other. They are both running windows 10. Does anyone have any thoughts? Trying to reinstall just freezes at 50 percent repeatedly. Randy Meyer

I always thought that Quicken accessibility was not good. I am aware that Quicken and QuickBooks are now managed by different companies. Is Quicken accessibility as good as what has been written recently in this discussion list as QuickBooks? Thanks. Ken That should open the program as maximized, but a friend had the same problem and he only had to press, Windows key + up arrow, to maximize and it took care of the problem. I guess sometimes the screen won't maximize on its own like it's supposed to. At least that was the problem in his case, maybe it won't work for you but it's only something to try. Take care. Mike.

I just installed the beta and in Outlook 2016 from Microsoft 365 it reads who it is from, subject, etc., just like always.
Did you migrate your settings from the release version?
