Hi Pat,

Do you know if you installed the Microsoft Store version of the app or the old-style desktop one?

You want the latter. From the iTunes website, I think you need to choose other versions to get the option to show.

Cheers,

Ed

Hi,

 

I have just installed itunes on my windows 10 laptop.

I am still running jaws 2018, although i do have the 40 minute version of jaws2020 latest version installed.

I have been deciding whether to go with android or apple from an accessibility point of view.

It looks like apple is wining!!!

Anyway to get back to my original point:

I installed itunes, but it is very hard to find out exactly what is going on. There just seems to be a lot of controls (buttons lists etc), but they don’t take you anywhere or tell you what has been activated.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

Hi all,

 

Has anyone successfully recovered text? For some reason, my files aren’t opening and an announcement comes up to say I should try to use a text recovery app.

 

Word has a recovery tool in the File Types dialogue box but I can’t seem to get it to work.

 

Any ideas?

The first time I used it, it took me a while to get used to it; but once I
got the hang of how it was laid out and what it wanted, things went well.
The bank had sent stuff using some other system they use but my particular
banker figured out docusign would work better for me and itdid. The other
system was basicly not accessable.

I wonder what the problem could be? Both my husband and I tried it on two
different Windows 10 computers, with one running JAWS 2018 and the other
running JAWS 2020, and we both had similar issues.

I am at a loss to understand what the issue is.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

Hi All,

Has anyone tried using Docusign recently with JAWS, or NVDA for that matter?

We had used it about 3 years ago when selling a house and found it quite
accessible. However, today when we tried to use it again, it was unuseable.

For example, if you hit the letter B to navigate to the next button to sign,

and then hit enter or spacebar, no signature was applied. Focus was thrown
either to somewhere else in the document or completely into a different open

window. We found similar results with NVDA.

Has anyone had success using Docusign lately, and if so, with which screen
reader and browser? We were using Chrome.

I finally ended up trying it on my iPhone, and did have better luck there.

Thanks,
Pam

Sure, happy to help!

If you use Excel and prefer that for using JAWS to review query results, you can also spool to a .csv file.

If you want suggestions on what needs to be set to do this, go ahead and write me off list.

Jonas,

          You are correct that the screen curtain in JAWS will not save significant battery on a laptop since it only turns off the actual display, but does nothing with the backlight (which is actually a edge-spill light, but that doesn't really matter).  You have a lit black screen.  

           Just activated it on/off with INSERT+SPACE,F11 and it's clear that the backlight remains on.  Whether it remains on for hours I cannot say, and I cannot use my computer without looking at the screen.

As for the iPhone, if you set the brightness to auto, when you use the screen curtain, the brightness will go to 0; which does save battery.
I could imagine that if you are running a laptop on battery it may help a little; but I'm not a computer technician.

Hi,

 

having screen curtain turned on would preserve at least some battery, since not having to power the backlight of a display would reduce some battery consumption. This is why low power mode when activated on both the iPhone and most laptops along with other functions they will dim the Brightness of the screen to preserve battery power, as the brighter the screen the more battery power it takes, so having screen curtain on and therefore having brightness dimmed down to almost zero would preserve some battery. I think any pc or smart phone site advising on saving battery life will almost always tell you to reduce the brightness of your screen to preserve battery life. However, I think like Jim said though, it’s probably not such a huge saving and probably less than it used to be years ago with advances in technology and the display being less power hungry than they would have been in the past

Hi Ashleigh,

 

No, its nothing like that at all, the main reason for wanting the display constantly  off is that on a laptop one of the biggest drains on the battery is the display, since I don’t use it anyway it just makes sense to have it turned off to conserve battery life. The iPhone  has a similar function called screen curtain  which you can set to be on all the time, it turns the display off which hugely conserves battery life  on the phone. I really just wanted this function to  make the battery charge last longer when using my laptop, rather than wasting battery life powering a display which I’m not using anyway. Thanks for reaching out though to check I was doing ok, its nice to know people  are watching out  for each other here, but I’m doing absolutely fine, hope you are too.

Hi everyone,

 

I recently discovered Jaws has a screen shade function which turns off the display of  your PC. It seems to be a temporary option however, as every time I restart my PC I have to reenable screen shade. I have tried both the layered key stroke and setting  screen shade through quick settings , but as mentioned both seem to only activate  jaws screen shade until I boot down my laptop. Does anyone know is there a way of setting jaws so screen shade is always on?

I just want to know why you’d want the screen shade to be permanent? I just hope it’s nothing that your searcin for that you don’t want everyone else seeing, like end of life stuff-suicide stuff, I mean. Please e-mail me privately at apiccinino@... to answer this question, okay?

Hi everyone,

 

I recently discovered Jaws has a screen shade function which turns off the display of  your PC. It seems to be a temporary option however, as every time I restart my PC I have to reenable screen shade. I have tried both the layered key stroke and setting  screen shade through quick settings , but as mentioned both seem to only activate  jaws screen shade until I boot down my laptop. Does anyone know is there a way of setting jaws so screen shade is always on?

WordPress and JAWS are in my experience the best.

Hi Ashleigh,

 

No, its nothing like that at all, the main reason for wanting the display constantly  off is that on a laptop one of the biggest drains on the battery is the display, since I don’t use it anyway it just makes sense to have it turned off to conserve battery life. The iPhone  has a similar function called screen curtain  which you can set to be on all the time, it turns the display off which hugely conserves battery life  on the phone. I really just wanted this function to  make the battery charge last longer when using my laptop, rather than wasting battery life powering a display which I’m not using anyway. Thanks for reaching out though to check I was doing ok, its nice to know people  are watching out  for each other here, but I’m doing absolutely fine, hope you are too.

 

Paul
