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.

Hi James

You are correct, it does have to do with the view settings.

First go to the view menu

Navigate to and activate, change view settings

Tab to IMAP messages and press enter

HTH

I did both actually phoned Microsoft their disability answer desk  a gentlemen was on the phone with me for over an hour couldn’t figure it out, I  believe

 It has something to do with how the view is set in outlook.

I remember having this problem, but I don’t recall how I overcame it. Tom has posted the method that ought to work, JAWS key+3 on the numpad. Since that doesn’t work for you, you might do a JAWS repair and a Microsoft Office repair.  If you’re unfamiliar with either repair method, please re-post.

Greetings all can someone suggest how I might fix this problem. Instead of reading the number of messages jaws says   connectivity to your server I think it has to do with how outlook is set up in terms of the folder view but not sure.

Ditto.  I had thought that my two sound card setup created the interference and warbled speech but it now seems to have another cause.  Closing and reopening JAWS does the trick.

Hi,

  In addition to what others have written I just want to add my experience.

From time to time my sound card will begin to crackle.  Dumping and re starting JAWS fixes the issue.  I have never traced what causes the problem and as it is intermittent it is hard to determine .  I am using Win 10 ,latest version, and latest release of JAWS on an HP with dedicated video memory and 16gb of memory. 

No solution I know rather just a note that I have seen the issue and a JAWS re start takes care of it.

Hi All,

 

I was just wondering if any of you have ever noticed your sound card device crackle when using speech?  I just got a new Lenovo p52 mobile workstation computer and there is some annoying crackle when speech occurs.  I would appreciate if anyone has any good ideas on how to fix this.

 

Best,

Why not just disable uac?  It doesn't really do what it promises, and many people will just say yes to whatever they are asked anyway.

Hi all,

I’m running into an issue with jaws 2020 on Windows10 1909,x64.

Every time a uac dialogue comes up, I’m not presented with the dialogue as normal.

Rather, the window that comes up is something entitled $$$Secure UAP Background Window.

Jaws seems to lag significantly, although I am able to alt+tab into the uac dialogue and then hit alt+y to accept.

I’ve sent this to Vispero, but am just wondering if anyone on the list has any ideas about this?

Cheers,

 

Daniel

Have you tried using the Touch cursor to see if you can get to Yes with that?

No, I wasn’t. But starting Narrator works well, because, once I have answered Yes to the UAC prompt, I can just toggle Narrator off again with CONTROL plus WINDOWS key, ENTER.

Hi,

Were you ever able to solve this problem aside from starting narrator?

Thanks for the responses.

I had the same problem, and I had to start Narrator to be able to answer Yes in the $$ window.
