Hi Listers,

 

I’m running Windows 10 and using JAWS 2020.

 

I haven’t gotten “NOTIFICATIONS” on my screen in a very long time. Now, I keep getting it but forgot how to read it. Can someone help?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

NVDA as well.

I find, contrary to many beliefs, that having a quote on quote arsenal of screen readers is very useful in my daily life, just as the ability to work with multiple web browsers is too.

As previously stated, many of the core functions of NVDA are similar to Jaws – one thing to keep in mind is how NVDA’s screen review works vs. object navigation versus the Jaws cursor and touch cursor.

Definitely N V D A. Just study the key commands, of which some are same as JAWS and some not; very easy.

Subject: Recommendation: Open source screen reader program

 

Hello list members:

 

Since retiring I have been involved in a number of volunteer activities. Recently I had a conversation with a local agency who is looking for a volunteer to assist clients in completing an online registration form as part of an interview process regarding potential receipt of specific services.

I understand that I cannot legally use one of my additional Jaws licenses because I have the Home version. Truth to tell, other than JAWS, I have never really worked with any other screen reader programs. Some years ago, Idid a cursory  review of NVDA. I understand that Narrator has improved in some measurable ways. I know that there are other programs out there.

For purposes of this opportunity, where I would need to load a screen reading program onto a laptop in order to conduct the interviews, I am looking for any recommendations of open-source screen Reader programs.

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

Best,  Justin

That's what I'm not getting is replies to tweets.  I never see them, so I suspect they aren't shown, which makes the whole thing pretty useless to me.  Sad, but the ios app is a more useful tool by far.

You can follow conversations with the hotkey alt+windows+C. But the conversation gets displayed in its own buffer, which you can either access from the tree view or by moving the buffer focus with alt+windows+left-arrow. However, the conversation buffer only shows your conversation with a user, which is vastly different from a Twitter thread. I still can't figure out how to make TWBlue display complete threads. All I get are original tweets. I'm also speculating that TWBlue does in fact display replies to tweets, but rather than group them by thread, they're in chronological order.
Even so, it's hard to follow a thread when it's broken up over hundreds of tweets.

Hi,

Support for Windows 7 has ended on Jan 14, 2020.

So this goes for anyone who is upgrading or going to upgrade their Windows

from 7 to latest Windows 10.

Mentioned Below are the basic requirements for upgrading to Windows 10.

Processor: 1.8 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor

RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB) or above

Hard disk space: 500 GB or larger

Also some of us might still be using 2 GB of RAM and will think about

upgrading so as to install the latest Windows 10, before doing that please

confirm with your system manufacturer, weather your system support a higher

RAM or not.

If you have the above requirement then you can easily upgrade to Windows 10

and for upgrading you must have the licensed copy or an Activated Version of

the previous Windows 7 on your current computer.

To make sure that your system doesn't act in a sluggish way, keep the

Windows Update option always Turned On, so that all the necessary updates

and security patches are added automatically.

Note: if you're going to try the update process, I would make sure your
windows 7 machine is using a wired connection.

       The impossible is the untried, Never under estimate the power of a
dream.

the upgrade I heard about was for anyone on the same page where they
want you to buy it, I understand.

I think there is still a free upgrade to Windows 10, just a bit harder to

find.

Could you not have taken advantage of the free upgrade that was offered

by Microsoft? Or, is your computer to old? I asked that, not to be a smart
ass, but, I tried to get my sister?s lap top upgraded from 8 to 10 and
Microsoft said it was too old to accept the upgrade. Having said that, I
managed to get a free lap top that according to a tech was a windows 7. It
got upgraded to 10. True, snails move faster then it boots up, but I
managed to scrape up enough funds to get a SSD put in it. Now it moves a
lot faster.

Could someone please tell me how to view videos on facebook Messenger?

I am using JAWS 2019 on a Windows 7 machine. I know that I am supposed to
be upgrading to Windows 10, but don't have the funds.

Thank you.

Hi,


What is the most accessible Twitter client to use with the latest Jaws on a Windows 10 machine?

Hi everyone

 

What SSH-clients do you can recommend if I will use it with the latest version of JAWS for Windows, and do you have experience with PuTTYgen, a freeware SSH-client?

 

Thanks in advance for your answer, and have a nice day.

 

Regards,

Anders
