jaws, synthesizers, and phonemic changes
Leo
Hello everyone, I would like to alter some pronunciations that are mispronounced by the synthesizers that jaws commonly uses, such as vocalyzer and eloquence. These changes would not work efficiently if these alterations are made using the jaws user’s dictionary. In a nutshell, I wonder if a dictionary or lexicon with phonemic changes can be added whether to modify the synth or to force jaws to take these changes. When I say a dictionary with phonemic changes, I mean a file whether inbuilt in the screen reader or the synth, where I can write the actual word and its equivalent using some phonetic alphabet. I was told that even though some synths do not bring a phonemic dictionary per se, they are capable to recognize a file with such characteristics, and I proved it to be true with the version of eloquence SAPI 4.
To be precise, I quote this information taken from Microsoft documentation about how to create a lexicon for tts programs and other apps. For example, here are two phonetic spellings that a speech engine can use to recognize or speak the word “hello” in US English:
H EH . S1 L O
hh ax . 1 l ow
End of quote. So, if someone would have at least a slightest idea of how this can be done or where should I put a file with such characteristics in jaws to force it to pronounce accurately all those words, I would be grateful.
Thanks.
-- Best, Leo

Re: Accessible System Backup Image software, (WAS) the latest update to jaws 2020 giving me a fit
James Bentley
Hello,
There is an option in the Image for Windows menus to create an IFW recovery boot disk.
Yes, this recovery disk includes Narrator which can be activated by typing Control+Windows+enter. And, this allows a blind person to do the restore of a previously created backup image.
I made this disk on a thumb drive a long time ago. I do not remember the steps and I remember it gave me a lot of trouble before I kind of accidently got it done. If the directions are not clear to you, maybe someone can offer assistance. But, if you buy IFW, you will have Narrator available on the recovery disk.

I, for one, would appreciate a bsic tutorial from installing the software to doing a system backup, which I gather automatically includes Narrator for restoring, is that correct?

Did you have any problems with the multitude of questions ask during installation?

Greetings to Cihan Yazici and list,
I sure wish that I had the skill and ability to create a tutorial or pod cast to assist others with using Image for Windows. However, I do not.
IFW is extremely complicated for me. Everything from installation of the software to its use under many varying circumstances make creating a useful tutorial or podcast beyond my communication and current PC skills. I have tried to share as many tips as possible and Hopefully, there are others who can share additional information so that new users of IFW or other backup options can learn how to do image backups of their computers.

Hello friends;
I have reviewed the program you suggested. I had difficulty using it because its interface and settings are so many. I wonder if our friends using this program can prepare a narration for us? I think it would be nice if they told us the important settings for us at least. love to all of you.
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of James Bentley
With Image for Windows Version 3… some of the check boxes in settings are checked by default and some are not. Routing the Jaws cursor to the PC will cause Jaws to anounce the status of check boxes. Note, in some places in the menus, you get a plus sign to let you know that something got added instead of a check box.
With the exceptions below, I recommend that you use the default settings if you are just trying to back up your Primary/C drive.
I always check the accessible check box. I also check the completion alarm so I know when the job is finished. There will be a few other check boxes and settings that are easy to understand and checking them is optional. But, I wouldn’t change any setting unless I was certain that I know exactly what I am doing.
I also check both the verification and the byte per byte verification. IFW will remember these settings if you answer yes to the prompt that ask if you want to save the settings.
IFW is an extremely complicated and powerful software suite and I never make additional changes and it has always worked for me. My backups are verified. And, around 6 times now, I have restored backups.
Once, I restored a backup that was created back when I was using Jaws Version 12 just to see if it would work. It did. It was strange to look at files and emails and an OS. that were over 5 years old.
Stay safe,
James B

As you know, the check boxes on the items to which you are referring, , are not spoken by Jaws when you use the SPACE BAR, to either check or uncheck the items. By default, all the check boxes are unchecked. Once you have highlighted an item and tapped the SPACE BAR, to check it, route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, then, use the Read Current Line command and JAWS will announce whether the item is checked or not.

Hello, As many of you probably know, JAWS identifies individual applications by their file name. This method is used to load script filers, configurations and so on. However what if we have two applications with the same file name? A wrong scripts and configurations will be loaded leading to some serious errors! My suggestion therefore is to use the manifest as the identifier of the individual application, and fallback to the file name only when strictly necessary (no Manifest present).

Re: A powerful JAWS flaw I have found

Hi, one place to look for files and associated scripts is a file
called ConfigNames.ini, found in your users and then the JAWS directory, un to
the one you want, settings\ and the corresponding language code, enu for English
US, esp for spanish, and so forth. You can find out what programme is being loaded using the
command INSERT+q. CONTROL+INSERT+V will also tell you the exact programme
version for a given window if needed. Pressing the commands twice quickly will
virtualise the window for reviewing it later. One such example from the ini file looks like
this: [ConfigNames]
TeamTalk5Classic=tt_classic
TeamTalk4Classic=tt_classic
T
he first part is the name of the software, and the second part
is the script to be loaded if that executable is
running. In the example, both TeamTalk 4 and 5 would be using the same
set of scripts. Hope that helps. Regards, Nermin

When you reopen your document to resume reading, turn on JAWS quick keys with JAWS key+z, and navigate to the next bookmark by pressing the letter b until you land on the one you want.

I also check both the verification and the byte per byte verification. IFW will remember these settings if you answer yes to the prompt that ask if you want to save the settings.
IFW is an extremely complicated and powerful software suite and I never make additional changes and it has always worked for me. My backups are verified. And, around 6 times now, I have restored backups.
Once, I restored a backup that was created back when I was using Jaws Version 12 just to see if it would work. It did. It was strange to look at files and emails and an OS. that were over 5 years old.
Stay safe,

As you know, the check boxes on the items to which you are referring, , are not spoken by Jaws when you use the SPACE BAR, to either check or uncheck the items. By default, all the check boxes are unchecked. Once you have highlighted an item and tapped the SPACE BAR, to check it, route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, then, use the Read Current Line command and JAWS will announce whether the item is checked or not.

Re: Accessible System Backup Image software, (WAS) the latest update to jaws 2020 giving me a fit

That was quick. It took me forever to learn just enough to backup and recover my laptops.
As you become more acquainted with the complexities of IFW, maybe you will share what you have discovered.
Did you have any problems with the multitude of questions ask during installation?
Congratulations,
James B

I actually like IFW and I gained understanding of the software just some minutes after starting to use it, so I can try and record a solution.

Greetings to Cihan Yazici and list,
I sure wish that I had the skill and ability to create a tutorial or pod cast to assist others with using Image for Windows. However, I do not.
IFW is extremely complicated for me. Everything from installation of the software to its use under many varying circumstances make creating a useful tutorial or podcast beyond my communication and current PC skills. I have tried to share as many tips as possible and Hopefully, there are others who can share additional information so that new users of IFW or other backup options can learn how to do image backups of their computers.
Regards,
James B

Hello friends;
I have reviewed the program you suggested. I had difficulty using it because its interface and settings are so many. I wonder if our friends using this program can prepare a narration for us? I think it would be nice if they told us the important settings for us at least. love to all of you.

With Image for Windows Version 3… some of the check boxes in settings are checked by default and some are not. Routing the Jaws cursor to the PC will cause Jaws to anounce the status of check boxes. Note, in some places in the menus, you get a plus sign to let you know that something got added instead of a check box.
With the exceptions below, I recommend that you use the default settings if you are just trying to back up your Primary/C drive.
I always check the accessible check box. I also check the completion alarm so I know when the job is finished. There will be a few other check boxes and settings that are easy to understand and checking them is optional. But, I wouldn’t change any setting unless I was certain that I know exactly what I am doing.
I also check both the verification and the byte per byte verification. IFW will remember these settings if you answer yes to the prompt that ask if you want to save the settings.
