Does the FlexTalk work with JAWS?

Gerald

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used the Plex Talk, and how do you like it?

Roger

For those of you testing Jaws 13 Beta, especially the OCR functions, here's an application that is pretty much invisible to the other screen readers.
AMD Overdrive, for those of you with AMD processors in your machines.

Happy fiddling.

Chris

As far as I know, it only works with English versions of Windows.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber

Addison:

When Windows starts, do they hear the Windows start up tune?

If not, it is possible that either the speaker output plug has been disconnected from its socket jack or, the system audio output has been muted.

HTH

Dave Durber

Alocia:

I have always believed in the dog wagging the tail, not the other way round. And, having such a piece of software such as you are looking for, would be such a tool for us to use, then we would not be the tail trying to wag the dog, in order for us to keep up with our sighted peers.

By the way, have you tried looking at a citation page produced by one of your student colleagues on your computer using JAWS, to see if you can use it as a template for your own citation pages?

Sincerely:

Dave Durber

Paul,

Suggest you go into the verbosity settings in the configuration manager.
There you will find your verbosity level and the ability to modify specific
aspects of it. In the modification list, you will find areas that enable or
disable the window title, etc. I think playing around with these setting
should help.

BTW you can stop the "compatibility mode" by saving your work as an xlsx
file (Excel 2007). Then it won't say that part when you open it again.

Good afternoon Dave,

Each time I switch to Excel it speaks:
Book Log.xls [Compatibility Mode] - Microsoft Excel

Which isn't much, but 50 or 100 times in an afternoon gets to be wearing.

Thank you for any help.

Paul

Is it saying "sheet1", "sheet 2", etc? Or is it saying the title bar "Excel

Morning to all,

I am switching programs from Excel to folders which I'm adding the contents

header bar is spoken, how do I silence those lines?

I'm using JAWS 9 with XP. Thank you,

Have a great day,

First, I couldn't even get to the site, but figured out it's because you didn't capitalize the words Instant and Recharge. Anyway, I get both buttons in both browsers. I don't know what's wrong with yours. This is a longshot, but do you have Flash installed for Firefox. You need a different Flash for Firefox than for IE.

Is it saying "sheet1", "sheet 2", etc? Or is it saying the title bar "Excel
<filename> Sheet1", etc.? Your question is not clear.

O. Addison,

Well, we're all glad to have provided you help in this. Basic rule to always
ask is "What was the last thing done to the computer before the problem
started??"

Answer: It was brought home from a shop.

If we had known that at the very beginning the answer would have been
obvious.

Again glad to have provided you and your friend our combined expertise in
smacking our collective heads against your brick wall.

All,
