Isn't there a way to control this via a dictionary at a specific level [as in only when speaking character by character]?   That's a serious question, as I constantly get confused about what JAWS supports versus what NVDA supports and have flip-flopped the two on more than one occasion.

Thanks.
It was just that in your first response, you didn't say whose formula had the smart quotes, but Russell clarified that his Mac was set to use smart quotes, which he has now turned off.

It would be nice if Jaws said something different when it encounters smart quotes, but it doesn't.

Later,

well, I was responding to your inquiry that you didn't know why Russel's formula wasn't working. but the quotes that surrounded the word Yes in your response are straight quotes. if they are smart quotes, JAWS would say left quote followed by the quote followed by saying right quote. if JAWS just says quote followed by the quote followed by quote, those are straight quotes.

hope it's clearer.

I know what they are, but you did not say if Russell had smart quotes or if I had smart quotes.

I'm blind and Jaws said the exact same thing in reading both versions.

You stated pretty straight forwardly that the smart quotes was the issue... Not helpful unless we know which version had the smart quotes.

To test this, I put a Yes in b2 and No in b100.
I got 1 as the result of yes’s, 2 in the result for number of cells with data in b102, and .50 in b103 which then switching the number type to percent, got 50.00. I did not bother changing the decimal places from the default.

Hi Steve,

Let’s say you have Yes or no in cells B2 to B100. In cell B101, or wherever you wish, type the formula, CountIf(B2:B100,”Yes”).
This will give you the number of cells with “Yes” in them.
Then, in B102, or whoever you wish, type the formula,
=CountA(B2:B100)
Note the letter “A” after “Count” in the above formula.
This will give you the total number of cells in column B that have data.
Now, to calculate the percentage of cells with “Yes” in them, in cell B103, or wherever, type the formula,
=B101/B102
You are dividing the number of “Yes” by the total number of cells with data.
You will get a number like 0.67 or something like that. Press CTRL + 1 while in that cell and change the number formatting to Percentage, choose the number of decimal places you wish to show, and tab to OK.

Hope this helps.

On my iMac there's a setting in Keyboard settings to use Smart Quotes and Dashes. It's either checked or unchecked. If it's checked, when you type a quote, it's automatically changed to a Smart Quote. Not sure how to do this in Windows... I think it's a setting within Outlook.

For the past few days we have been experiencing an annoyance where when working down a web page either by arrowing down or using something else like by headings, we will get stuck in a section of a page.  You will go down so far, then be popped back up to the start of the section or page.

I think it may be caused by the page refreshing itself every 5 seconds.

Does Chrome automatically refresh itself at regular intervals and if so, can this be adjusted?

Any help or thoughts will be appreciated.

Hi Steve,

Let’s say you have Yes or no in cells B2 to B100. In cell B101, or
wherever you wish, type the formula, CountIf(B2:B100,”Yes”).
This will give you the number of cells with “Yes” in them.
Then, in B102, or whoever you wish, type the formula,
=CountA(B2:B100)
Note the letter “A” after “Count” in the above formula.
This will give you the total number of cells in column B that have data.
Now, to calculate the percentage of cells with “Yes” in them, in cell
B103, or wherever, type the formula,
=B101/B102
You are dividing the number of “Yes” by the total number of cells with data.
You will get a number like 0.67 or something like that. Press CTRL + 1
while in that cell and change the number formatting to Percentage,
choose the number of decimal places you wish to show, and tab to OK.

Hope this helps.

Russell

Hello:

At work we use JAWS 18 and Chrome to access Oracle applications.

For the past few days we have been experiencing an annoyance where when working down a web page either by arrowing down or using something else like by headings, we will get stuck in a section of a page.  You will go down so far, then be popped back up to the start of the section or page.

I think it may be caused by the page refreshing itself every 5 seconds.

Does Chrome automatically refresh itself at regular intervals and if so, can this be adjusted?

Any help or thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard,

Good to know. I just turned off "Smart Quotes" in System Preferences on my iMac, so all should be well now... hopefully! :)

left quotes and right quotes ar smart quotes. for example, left quote, I said that, right quote. the quotes are rarely referred to as curly quotes.
the left quote is actually like or close to a smaller left parenthesis with a water droplet on the top half of the symbol pointing down, and the right quote is a smaller version of the right parenthesis with a water droplet at the bottom half of the symbol pointing up. in both symbols, the water droplet is a part of the left or right small parenthesis.
the concept is, the left quote marks the opening to what someone said, and the right quote is the closing of what someone said.

I’m not sure why Russell’s instructions didn’t work for me, but I did the following and it worked.
In b101: =COUNTIF(B2:B100,"Yes")
IN b102, =COUNTA(B2:B100)
In b103, =B101/B102

To test this, I put a Yes in b2 and No in b100.
I got 1 as the result of yes’s, 2 in the result for number of cells with data in b102, and .50 in b103 which then switching the number type to percent, got 50.00. I did not bother changing the decimal places from the default.

Hi Steve,

Let’s say you have Yes or no in cells B2 to B100. In cell B101, or wherever you wish, type the formula, CountIf(B2:B100,”Yes”).
This will give you the number of cells with “Yes” in them.
Then, in B102, or whoever you wish, type the formula,
=CountA(B2:B100)
Note the letter “A” after “Count” in the above formula.
This will give you the total number of cells in column B that have data.
Now, to calculate the percentage of cells with “Yes” in them, in cell B103, or wherever, type the formula,
=B101/B102
You are dividing the number of “Yes” by the total number of cells with data.
You will get a number like 0.67 or something like that. Press CTRL + 1 while in that cell and change the number formatting to Percentage, choose the number of decimal places you wish to show, and tab to OK.

Hope this helps.

Russell

I know what they are, but you did not say if Russell had smart quotes or if I had smart quotes.

I'm blind and Jaws said the exact same thing in reading both versions.

You stated pretty straight forwardly that the smart quotes was the issue... Not helpful unless we know which version had the smart quotes.

Thanks,
Richard

left quotes and right quotes ar smart quotes. for example, left quote, I said that, right quote. the quotes are rarely referred to as curly quotes.
the left quote is actually like or close to a smaller left parenthesis with a water droplet on the top half of the symbol pointing down, and the right quote is a smaller version of the right parenthesis with a water droplet at the bottom half of the symbol pointing up. in both symbols, the water droplet is a part of the left or right small parenthesis.
the concept is, the left quote marks the opening to what someone said, and the right quote is the closing of what someone said.

I’m not sure why Russell’s instructions didn’t work for me, but I did the following and it worked.
In b101: =COUNTIF(B2:B100,"Yes")
IN b102, =COUNTA(B2:B100)
In b103, =B101/B102

To test this, I put a Yes in b2 and No in b100.
I got 1 as the result of yes’s, 2 in the result for number of cells with data in b102, and .50 in b103 which then switching the number type to percent, got 50.00. I did not bother changing the decimal places from the default.

Let’s say you have Yes or no in cells B2 to B100. In cell B101, or wherever you wish, type the formula, 

CountIf(B2:B100,”Yes”).

This will give you the number of cells with “Yes” in them.

Then, in B102, or whoever you wish, type the formula,

=CountA(B2:B100)

Note the letter “A” after “Count” in the above formula.

This will give you the total number of cells in column B that have data.

Now, to calculate the percentage of cells with “Yes” in them, in cell B103, or wherever, type the formula,

=B101/B102

You are dividing the number of “Yes” by the total number of cells with data.

You will get a number like 0.67 or something like that. Press CTRL + 1 while in that cell and change the number formatting to Percentage, choose the number of decimal places you wish to show, and tab to OK.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi All, 

 

Using Excel 2016, Windows 10 and the current version of JAWS.  I have an Excel sheet in column A I have the task a person must perform.  In Column B I will answer yes or no if they can perform the task.  Here is my issue, I want to create a formula at the bottom of column B to determine if they answered yes to 80% of the questions.  I would greatly appreciate your assistance!

I agree with Russell’s approach.  That is exactly how I would do it.  Technically you can combine both of the formulas into one cell, but I tend to like to show the results of each count in a different cell.

Hello List-members,

 

I have scheduled a training session (via Skype) with a BrailleNote user for tomorrow to provide some training in using the Apex which I recently purchased, primarily as a Notetaker. I am reaching out to the list to request some assistance with using Skype, a program that I haven’t used in a number of years.

I have set up a Skype account and downloaded the Windows 10 desktop version of Skype and reviewed the JAWS/Skype keyboard commands.   

What I would appreciate is the opportunity to review some of these commands and get some direction in adding a contact and setting up a Skype session to participate in this Apex training, again scheduled for tomorrow.

If anyone, who is familiar with Skype has some time today to provide some direction, I would appreciate it. Please contact me offlist: jhmcdev@....

 

Best, Justin .
