New Features in 2021 New Features Added in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion 2021 PictureSmart Improvements Introduced in JAWS and Fusion 2019, Picture Smart allows you to choose a photo and submit it to be analyzed. A description of the image is then displayed in the Results Viewer. To use Picture Smart, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by P to activate the Picture Smart layer. You can 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. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Re: JAWS2021 Beta V 2009.13.40 Download Link + What's New
You have to remember that with an Outlook version that old and long since unsupported you will probably run into problems eventually. This could be a problem with Windows or the screenreader.

Here is my example, whether something can be done or not, If I want to delete a .txt file, Jaws asks me if I want to do this, which is just fine. Annd now the really bothersome thing, Jaws goes right back to the thing I want to delete and says the title over again. Can I get it to just do the delete thing and move on? Then it goes on its merry way. Is there a setting somewhere I can not have it do this? Or is it just my old age getting the best of me? Thanks Morey Worthington

Interesting. I turned on my confirmation dialog and tried it with the beta. after I hit y, it just announced the name of the next file in the list. The weird thing is that when I have the dialog turned off, i get silence after I hit the delete key. I suspect your situation may be due to a different jaws version than I have, or perhaps your computer is a bit on the slow side or something. There is a text out delay setting in misc settings in settings center. I'd try putting a small number in there if it is set to 0, it might just help.

Re: Too much verbage

Yu may want to check the verbosity level.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Open the settings center with insert+6. If you want it for all situations, and tnot just the app yu happen to be in, pressed control+shift+d for default. Type verbosity in the search box and arrow down. You should have 8 search results, arrow down to speech verbosity and if it is on beginner, press space t and try intermediate, and if that is not what you want, another space takes you to advance, which is the least amount of feedback. I hope that is the answer.

Hi. Well I have had Toshibas, and no issues, and they had dvd drives. And about 18 months ago, purchased a assus vivo book laptop. First time using a solid state drive. The assus web site is accessible. And also able to download drivers and also the assus live update app is accessible. Able to get updates. No cut off with speech. Do have dolby surround sound, and never had any issues cut off with speech. Thanks. Ps: would loved to have continue with Toshiba, but not able to purchase any new ones in Australia. A few business and gaming machines, but at $3,000 or $4,000 a bit extreme for my purchase.

It’s working well here. I notice the Windows messages that are now presented by JAWS, for example if the fingerprint reader recognizes (or fails to recognize) me as I attempt to log in.

Too much verbage

Hi all, using Jaws 2020 on a W10 2004 desktop machine.
Here is my example, whether something can be done or not, If I want to delete a .txt file, Jaws asks me if I want to do this, which is just fine. Annd now the really bothersome thing, Jaws goes right back to the thing I want to delete and says the title over again. Can I get it to just do the delete thing and move on?

Re: Describing the contents of a region?
Mark
When moving to a navigable element using a navigation key, is it possible to have JAWS announce that you've entered or exited a region. For example, if a user is familiarizing themselves with the web content by navigating by headings, could JAWS say: heading 1, heading 2, entering main region, heading 2, heading 3, leaving main region, heading 2.

New Features in 2021 New Features Added in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion 2021 PictureSmart Improvements Introduced in JAWS and Fusion 2019, Picture Smart allows you to choose a photo and submit it to be analyzed. A description of the image is then displayed in the Results Viewer. To use Picture Smart, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by P to activate the Picture Smart layer. You can 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. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Re: Need help choosing printer/scanner
Shirley Tracy
Thanks Dan,
I don’t care about speed, but after I posted my need to the list, I phoned HP and—yes, I did it—purchased HP deskjet 3755 all in one printer. I don’t print large amounts at one time. I do print small amounts regularly and large printings on occasion. But I’m familiar with the HP 3800 series, and know its weaknesses and its strengths. For my use, I decided it was okay and certainly in my price range. Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas.
Cheerfully,
Shirley Tracy

Shirley, I use an Epson Perfection scanner but also have a Brother 4 in 1 printer / scanner which Open Book recognizes and is able to use if needed. The Brother is great on ink and has an on screen interface that is fairly accessible with JAWS. Not the fastest printer or scanner though if you are looking for speed.
Dan
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Shirley Tracy
Good morning list,
My printer has finally given up. Can anyone please give me a suggestion of an easy-to-use printer and scanner that works well with JAWS? I also need one that will work well with Open Book—although I don’t normally scan large batches and don’t need one that has that ability. I’m using a DEL Computer with JAWS 2020, latest update, and Windows 10. My computer doesn’t have BlueTooth, so I don’t need that in a printer.
Thankfully, I know someone who is willing to install it for me. I do well to use it, much less understand how it works or how to set it up. 😒
Thanks for any help.
Shirley

And exactly which wonderful
features of Window Eyes have been incorporated into JAWS? For instance,
Window Eyes allegedly had a feature that provided speech when booting into safe
mode. If this feature actually worked, which isdebatable, then why hasn't
it been incorporated into JAWS? Gerald On 9/10/2020 9:44 AM, Richard Turner wrote:

From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Mike B Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2020 9:29 AM To: JList Subject: JAWS2021 Beta V 2009.13.40 Download Link + What's New Hi All, Here's the J2021 Beta download link for both 32 & 64 bit systems, what's new in this release and a link to the FSCast that has demonstrations. Download Link 32 & 64 Bit: https://jaws2021.vfo.digital/2021.2009.13.400/7B55F25C-8F3C-4D14-AB6F-7EEBF4 ACAC57/J2021.2009.13.400-any.exe . FSCast web page, provides demonstrations of the new and exciting features in the upcoming 2021 release. https://blog.freedomscientific.com/archive-of-fsopenline-from-august-2020/ . New Features in 2021 New Features Added in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion 2021 PictureSmart Improvements Introduced in JAWS and Fusion 2019, Picture Smart allows you to choose a photo and submit it to be analyzed. A description of the image is then displayed in the Results Viewer. To use Picture Smart, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by P to activate the Picture Smart layer. You can 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 notifications, use the Microsoft keystroke WINDOWS Key+A.

Hi, Jim. In case what Randy said wasn't specific enough,
1. Open Downloads folder. 2. Make sure nothing is selected in the folder by using CONTROL plus SPACE, until it says not selected. 3. Press Applications key or SHIFT plus F10, and arrow down to Group By submenu, and press ENTER. 4. Arrow down to NONE, and press ENTER. 5. Press SHIFT key plus six on the numbers row. Now your view will be in details view, and you won't see your files grouped by date.
