Hi, Shirley. While your browser is open, press the JAWS key plus V for Quick Settings. In the search box, type the word refresh. You will see a result that says page refresh. Arrow to this result, and press ENTER. If your page refresh is set to automatic, try the space bar, and changing it to every 60 seconds. Then TAB to OK, and press ENTER. This may help to refresh your page more frequently.

Hi everyone,

 

When I’m online or reading email, my screen doesn’t always update (or refresh) automatically. I can’t figure out why, as it is intermittent. Any ideas?

Is there a setting I need to change?

 

Thank you in advance for any help. 😁

Well, That suggests that something about your JAWS installation is bad. I am also using Windows 10, Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.836).

If you are using the same Windows version and build, you might want to totally uninstall JAWS, reinstall it, and don't migrate settings from any previous JAWS version.

main@jfw.groups.io Calendar <noreply@...>
 

List Rules

When:
Monday, 1 June 2020
12:00am to 1:00am
(GMT-04:00) America/New York

Description:
The following is the current version of the JFW Mailing List policies. These are sent out monthly, and also available from:

http://groups.io/g/jfw/wiki/List-Policies 

 

**List Policies**

1: Keep it clean. We're a family list, and there are people here who probably don't want to hear everything *exactly* that's running through your head. If you wouldn't see it on TV, it doesn't belong in a post to the list. If you're not sure, email the administration before you post it to the list. Otherwise, you stand to see your posts moderated.

2: Stay on topic. We're a JFW-oriented list. That said, anything related to JFW, its functionality with programs etc is acceptable. If it doesn't have to do with JFW, it doesn't belong on the list. This includes, but isn't limited to, talk of other screen readers such as Window Eyes.

3: Listen to, and respect, the wishes of the admins/moderators. If you're asked by an admin or moderator to drop a subject, or take something to private emails (in the instance of two people carrying on a thread list-wide), please do so. If the subject is changed on a thread by an admin or moderator, it will be explained why in the email sent out with it. Please don't continue replying to the old subject.

4: Don't ask over the list for a position on the list administration. If you'd like to help out, it's of course welcome, but address the request to do so to the admin team, otherwise it'll be ignored. Requests are always welcome, whether help is being looked for or not. When help is needed, a post will be made to the list. The requests already received will be kept in mind.

5: Keep flaming to a minimum. This is not limited to flaming of each other, but goes beyond that, to flaming of products, opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc. Constructive criticism never hurts. Flame wars, especially public ones, both drive people from this list and are unwelcome here. either take the problem to private emails, or report the problem to list administration.

6. Respect the opinions and views of others. This is *very* important in any environment, most especially an online environment where the only gage one has on a person is what that person puts to writing. If you come off as hostile in your posting, whether you intended to or not, people will take it as such. Online, "face value" means just that. People make mistakes, people don't always have access to the same information you do. For that matter, people don't always have the same experience you do. If you know how someone can solve their problem, great. Suggest it to them and/or the list. Do *not* proceed to tell someone, on or off list, that they have no business posting. Repeat offenders of this particular rule will be banned for a week to 30 days, depending on the severity. Serious problems will be banned permanently.

As always, if there are problems or questions with regards these policies, don't hesitate to send them off-list to jfw+owner@groups.io

James,
List Admin

Hi, Michael. Have you tried using Windows Narrator with Internet Explorer to see if you can get the context menu with SHIFT plus F10? I realize that Narrator doesn't navigate well with Narrator, but at least you could see if the problem persists while JAWS is not running. This way, you could determine if the problem is with JAWS or if it is with Internet Explorer itself.

Hi all,
are there any RSS reader that works well with JAWS and support show article as full webpage?
I use to use Windows Live Mail RSS, but looking for alternative as Live Mail is an old program which may stop working in years to come.
I have also tried Thunderbird RSS, but it doesn’t seem to work on all RSS feeds. Outlook RSS on the other hand, downloads full article as attachment which is something not preferable.

Would you happen to have the, Full Screen, setting enabled?  It's in the, View menu, alt + V.  Also, make sure your window is maximized  Press, Alt + spacebar, then press the letter, X.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

It is a Bluetooth keyboard which is a trifold. However it does not have a number pad if that's really important to you.

Robert, I use the Logitech K780.  It’s interesting you mentioned range.  That is the one thing I like about it besides it being fully functional with num pad. I’ve used it in different rooms and I would gage the distance between the keyboard and receiver is at least 20 feet. I’ve had no difficulty using it in other rooms even though the receiver is stationary. I can’t remember whether it takes AAA or AA batteries.  It also fits nicely into a back pack, when we were not doing this social distancing thing.

Hi Everyone,

I have a Windows 10 computer, use JAWS 2020, and Office 2016 on a laptop.

When I use the up/down arrow in the Inbox of Outlook, I am hearing
repeated phrases.

I hear either:

If there are problems with how this is displayed, then open in a browser

line breaks have been removed

I may of not gotten the wording perfect above.  Smile.

Most of the time it prevents JAWS from reading the information for the
message in the message list and I have to have JAWS repeat that
message in the Inbox.  I do not know if this is a JAWS issue or an
Office 2016  issue. I have Office 2013 on a different computer with
all else the same and I do not hear this.  How to get rid of the extra
chatter?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Folks,

 

Looking to replace n old and faithful , but discontinued Logitech wireless keyboard with USB dongle.

 

Ideally looking for:

  • Full size including num pad;
  • Function keys that are full sized and not afterthought low profile keys;
  • Best possible range as I use it with wireless headphones in a different room;
  • Ideally full contour keys (not flat low-profile keys);
  • Replaceable batteries rather than USB charging;
  • Bells &
  • Whistles are happily avoided.

Thanks in advance.  Any and all suggestions welcome.

As suggested most likely the reading pain is on or some other outlook setting has changed. Sometimes after an update I’ve noticed a certain outlook settings can change.
