Re: Masen Consulting Announcement: My Audiobook about Zoom Cloud Meetings is now free
Don Mauck
What a gracious thing to do. That’s good on you!!
From: Brian Vogel <britechguy@...>
What follows is not JAWS related, but given the circumstances with the COVID-19 pandemic I believe it is important enough that it warrants posting here. This topic is intended as a "public service announcement," so can be locked immediately.
Kia ora everyone, from a beautiful Wellington New Zealand. As many of you know, I’m now CEO of a national organisation here in New Zealand. I’m no longer developing Mosen Consulting projects, but I keep titles available as long as they remain relevant. Occasionally, I check in to see what we have sold through our automated system. Having just done this, I have noticed a sharp increase in the number of people buying my audiobook on Zoom Cloud Meetings, “Meet Me Accessibly”, which is a three-hour description of how to use Zoom on a range of platforms with a screen reader. There has been a very sharp spike in sales in just the last few days. Clearly, this is because more people are already working from home or are preparing to do so. I do not feel comfortable profiting from a need people have during a crisis that is unprecedented in living memory. If people need access to the material at a time like this, I can afford to give it away especially since Mosen Consulting is no longer my primary means of making a living. I have therefore refunded in full everyone who has purchased “Meet Me Accessibly” during March, and made it free on the website. You are welcome to download it free and distribute it anywhere you want. The only thing I ask is that you please not change any of the files and that it be distributed in full. Download it free from http://mosen.org/zoom I hope this helps in some small way during a very tough time for many. There is no sugar coating the fact that we are living through a very difficult period in history. But if we follow quality advice including regular handwashing and levels of isolation appropriate for the degree of outbreak in our country, we’ll get through it. Let’s all do our best to stay safe, be mindful of the safety of others, and be kind. Take care.

Re: JAWS Screen Shade not Working with External Monitor
Richard Turner
The only dumb question is the one not asked.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Screen Shade, or in iPhone terminology, Screen Curtain, makes the screen black so people cannot see what you have on your screen. It is a layered keystroke, insert+spacebar then f11.
Its a toggle.

To improve performance, browsers save information about your login in their browser history. My suspicion is something became stale or corrupt which was causing unexpected issues. Clearing out the old data forced your browser to rebuild the history.

Hi Shirley,
If this is the first time you got the issue with FireFox running Amazon then clearing the cookies and cache of the firefox browser might fix your issue.
Hope this helps

This should provide the interface to determine how your external monitor is viewed by your Windows operating system. Or at least that just a combination I use and Lenovo. Thanks,abraham

JAWS Screen Shade not Working with External Monitor
Debbie April Yuille
Hi All
Has anyone else found that the screen shade feature doesn’t work if you are using a desktop PC with an external monitor? I activate the command and it reports that it’s on but I can see that it isn’t. I’ve changed Monitors and it makes no difference. I’m using the latest builds of both JAWS and windows 10.

Clearing out the old data forced your browser to rebuild the history. And for all those who are a bit more technical, something in the cash like a token or other artifact within the cookies or meditator may of become stale causing unexpected issues. Thanks,abraham

JAWS, Amazon, and Firefox Problem solved
Shirley Tracy
Thank all of you who responded to my question. I took someone’s suggestion, and I deleted history. Although I don’t know why, clearing it out fixed the problem. I placed an order and all is well. Now, I’m wondering why it worked—but with my limited technical talents, I’m just glad it did.
Now I’ll be using Firefox more and not IE.

Have you tried clearing out your browser history? If you don’t know how do a quick Google search and the first link should have detailed steps.

Hi, I use google chrome for amazon, but I personally use the amazon.com/access version of the website. Using that version I have no trouble shopping or checking out. I am using windows 10. Hope this helps and hi to anyone from the old jaws list. Judy & Libby

Hello Group:
I have another Amazon dilemma and hope someone can help me. I find that Firefox works best with JAWS on Amazon, but I have to switch to Internet Explorer in order to check out. With Firefox, I get a message at checkout that there was an error. With IE, I can check out but I prefer using Firefox so end up using 2 different brousers to complete one task. Do any of you know what could be wrong? I called the disability number and they had no idea.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Amazon, JAWS, and Firefox
I have been using Chrome and lately the new chromium based Edge for years and I never have any issues with Amazon whether it’s searching for items or checking out.

Re: Amazon, JAWS, and Firefox

John, where the version number should be, it says 70.0. 64 bit. Does that sound reasonable? I don’t know enough to know.
The error says something to the effect that “We’re sorry but there has been an error with the order. Check your accounts….” I put in quotes, but it’s really a paraphrase. And then if I go to IE, I can get the usual screen and place the order.
I’m puzzled. Is it JAWS? Amazon? Firefox? Or me?
