There is an iPhone and probably Android app called Just Press Record, $4.99, that tries to transcribe its own recordings, but naturally it has to be a clear recording.  I do not know if it can do that with an imported file.

I have found a number of options for taking MP3 (and other recorded audio) and feeding it through a program to convert to text.  Mind you, you'd then have to copy that text and put it in MS-Word or Notepad or whatever, and you can be sure it won't be perfect and need massaging, but such utilities exist.  I am not going to do the deep dive research into the "how to use it" end, that's up to you.  See the following:

Julius Developed in Japan but handles multiple languages, including English
Simon Which is a user interface that overlays Julius, which would have to be installed, that may be more user friendly

Mozilla Deepspeech But this is only for the Linux platform and requires the use of the command line

If you're asking whether the Windows Search under Windows 10 can search document content and e-mail message content the answer is yes.

I know that document content is enabled as the default.  Enabling e-mail content will be dependent on the e-mail client you are using and, if memory serves, must be enabled by you once your chosen e-mail client is in place so that Windows Search knows where it's searching.

No need to apologize with regard to being used to Windows 7.  We've been anticipating a wave of new Windows 10 users after Windows 7 went out of support.

You can go to chrome settings, advanced, downloads, and activate that toggle
that says "ask where to save each download" or something, if you want a
prompt.
Ctrl-j will also take you to your downloads "library".

Patrick,

My experience with Chrome is that when I click on a download link, the file
is downloaded without any confirmation. The way to find out if it's arrived
in your system is to press shift-F6. If it's there, JAWS will speak its
name. Assuming your default is your downloads folder, you can also navigate
to that folder and confirm.

Robin answered your other question. I'd add that control-F4 closes an
individual window for me.

Subject: Chrome commands question using Windows 10 and JAWS 2020

Good morning group,

I am using Chrome on a Windows 10 machine with JAWS 2020 and I am having
trouble with the following tasks which I had no problem completing using
Firefox (which has gone completely flaky on my laptop).
Opening a file on a web page. In Firefox I could click a file link and I
would be given the option to open or save the file. Chrome does not give me
this option. According to web searches using CTRL+Enter and/or SHIFT+Enter
should do the trick. Neither option works for me.

Closing a window and/or going back to the previous window. In Firefox I
could use the File, Close Window to complete this task. As an example after
performing a Google search I click on a result and after reading it I want
to go back to the results page. Web searches have not turned up any viable
solutions.

Thanks for everyone's help,

Patrick



What I d…

I use an ear piece with a microphone.  Then you are the only one hearing it. Hit the control key when it speaks those things or just tune it out.  I keep jaws on as I usually take meeting notes in Word while the meeting is in progress.

Subject: Zoom Question Re Muting Jaws

 

Hello, everyone.

 

I’m in the process of learning how to use Zoom with Jaws, and have a question that may seem elementary to some.

 

When in a Zoom meeting, Jaws lets me know as things are happening in the meeting, such as when new people join, who is raising their hand, etc..

 

This is great information to have;  but I often don’t need it when attending or participating in a meeting, since I’m typically not the main meeting organizer.

 

I suppose I could mute my audio via Alt A, but then people won’t be able to hear me.

 

I also could turn Jaws off, but that seems a bit extreme.

 

Any suggestions for dealing with unwanted Jaws speech during a Zoom meeting would be appreciated.

 

I simply don’t want to distract other meeting attendees.

 

Thank you.
