New JAWS Update Out Today, JAWS2021.2012.57 Update Download Link + What's New
Mike B
Hi All,
Out today, this update fixes the popping sound
heard for the, O, sound + more, read below.
32 & 64 bit download link:
What's new:
Enhancements in JAWS 2021.2012.57 (January 19, 2021)
This update addresses a few key issues that were reported shortly after the January 2021 release. To download the latest release, click on the link above You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software.
list of 8 items • A new feature was introduced earlier this month, designed to let a user change the volume of JAWS speaking or the system volume itself using a layered keystroke: INSERT+SPACE, V followed by J for JAWS or S for System. Since this change, Eloquence users reported hearing Ticks when reading and typing, especially around the letter O. We also had reports of the volume randomly changing when reading documents or web pages. These issues are now resolved. • Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR was not starting the Voice Assistant in JAWS or Fusion. • The JAWS voice commands to speak faster or slower now adjusts the speech in larger increments. • Addressed an issue where JAWS was not reading table headings in Excel. • Added a new JAWS Dictionary entry for "DocuSign." • When spell checking a document in Word, resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading as expected when navigating by word through the text containing the error. • Resolved an issue where attachments were not being reported correctly in the Danish version of Outlook 2019. • In the Italian version of JAWS, addressed an issue where the keystrokes to access the Braille and Text Viewer layer, as well as the Volume layer, were not working as expected. list end Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Hi Maria, yes you can do it that way. And you can also sometimes see a button that says Mark not a spam

I think I saw the move menu when I did Shift + f10, but not sure about the junk menu. Side question: Should I switch my main email to Outlook.com because my main account is a Hotmail account.

Maria, If you know how to move a message, you should be able to mark the items not as spam. In the same context menu as move, you will find some thing labeled junk (I apologize that I do not know the shortcut keys). Once you highlight junk press enter. I believe four options will appear and what you want is to select never block sender‘s domain. A dialog box will appear and all you will need to do is tap through it until you select OK. At that point all groups that I owe should stay in your inbox instead of going to the junk email folder. The other issue could be your own Internet service provider. I have an old Hotmail style email address and it will not except most groups that I owe addresses. Even if I do the above procedure, it still will not except new groups.io emails. As a result, I created another email address and most groups that I owe messages I receive go to that email without any issues. On Jan 19, 2021, at 8:53 PM, Maria Reyes <reyesm191@outlook.com> wrote:

Re: SPSS Statistics 27
Joyce Feinberg
I heard a podcast interview around a year ago either from blind abilities or Jonathan Mosen where they interviewed one of the developers of that statistical program. He went through how to use it etc. and I believe he also provided some contact information.
You may want to look at past episodes of blind abilities and you may be able to locate that particular interview.

Do you do that by moving the messages into your inbox? That's what I've been doing.

Re: I can't get jaws 19 or 20 to install.

Hi Jim,
Did you try the following:
Go to change user account control settings by pressing the windows key and typing “user account” and pressing enter
Tab over to notification level and down arrow to 0
Alt F4 from the user account control settings and you should be able to finish installing JAWS

Re: Can You Copy Text from a Zoom Chat?
Justin Williams
Virtualize the cursor with insert alt 2.
You can copy everything then.
Use escape to get out of the virtualized window when you are ready too.

Dear Listers:
When you are taking part in a Zoom meeting and somebody sends you a link to a podcast or a website in the Zoom Chat, is there a way using JAWS that you can copy that link for use later on?

SPSS Statistics 27
Mark
I have a question and I hope the collective wisdom of the group can resolve or point to someone who can:
I am attempting to use SPSS Statistics 27 with JAWS 2018 on a laptop running Windows 10. I have followed the directions IBM has to configure the Java Access bridge, but both JAWS and SPSS crash every few seconds when running together. JAWS does not read any of the menus or anything else really, though IBM's knowledge base seems to suggest that it should. If anyone has experienced these crashes, or has expertise in managing the Java Access Bridge, I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Hi. I don't know if this depends on the email service I'm using but how do I keep emails from my groups from going into my spam? I'm using the outlook program.- It could depend on your e-mail service provider or on Outlook's spam filtering or a combination of both. If you want to eliminate Outlook from the equation then create a rule that makes sure that anything from the groups.io domain (has groups.io in the from address) is never sent to spam. If your email service provider is classifying groups.io messages as spam then they need to be contacted and told to whitelist groups.io. All groups.io messages are sent to someone for one and only one reason: they subscribed. They cannot, by definition, be spam because they are never unsolicited. You can unsubscribe or go to nomail status at any time of your choosing. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

The Visual C++ error is in a different window. Try tabbing around before closing the JAWS install. Once my install hit 50 percent, the error was sitting in another window.

Working with Freedom Scientific tech support, I recently got JAWS 2021 to install on my ElBraille, after having a similar problem.
Are you getting a Microsoft Visual C++ error?
This is the error I was getting. After providing a few different log files to Freedom Scientific, as well as using speech history to provide them with the Visual C++ error, they provided me with instructions to fix Microsoft Visual C++, which was the real problem preventing the Jaws 2021 install.
I don’t know if this is the same issue you are having, or if the solution that worked for me would work for your 2020 and 2019 JAWS install problems.
