Re: [External] Re: How to navigate between two clocks with JAWS
Cook, Steve
Try Insert F11 to bring up the system tray icons and see if both of your clocks show up there.

As a workaround have you tried separate World Clock applications or Website? For example https://greenwichmeantime.com/timepiece/world-clock/ Once you have set a website like this up to your desired time zone you can set it up as a shortcut on your desktop or even, with a bit of further fiddling and editing of the shortcut, put it on the windows 10 Taskbar. Let me know if you want instructions on this. In terms of apps rather than websites I think you will need to search for World Clock apps rather than clock apps as normal clock applications will just provide the standard feedback from the system time.

Yes I did try to go to the clock after pressing Windows B and then navigating to the system clock however it only provides feedback for one clock and not the other one. Thanks Meesha

You probably cannot do it with the JAWS F12 keystroke to check time, but if both clocks appear on your System tray in the bottom right of your screen, then you can try using Windows key B to get to the system tray, then arrowing left or right to hear the clocks. I usually find focus is at the far left of the icons in the system tray, so it is fastest to arrow left and focus will quickly circle around to the far right of the icons where the standard system clock is.

Hi members, Can I check time for two time zones simultaneously using JAWS? I have added two clocks however JAWS just provides feedback for one of it so not sure how to access time for the other one. Thanks, Meesha

I think this would only be possible if either you could alt-tab to the other clock, or if it could be assigned a hot key.

Not JAWS, but the iPhone has a World Clock, that you can set many different clocks and just run your finger down the screen to check the different time zones.

Re: Question about OneNote 2016 on the job as areasonableaccommodation
David Griffith
Looking at my own link it appears that this link confusingly relates to the Windows 10 One Notes rather than the Office 16 version of the same program. The point about needing scripts still holds though and you will probably need to contact them to discuss it anyway.

As I understand it Jaws “out of the box” has never been able to work properly with One Note. For this reason someone in employment needs to buy 3rd party scripts to make them productive with One Note. This is especially the case if they are using Jaws without sight. I agree that it is not defensible for VFO to require their Users to purchase third party scripts to make such a main stream Microsoft product work effectively for employees. It is a bit like requiring people by scripts to enable access to other parts of the same Office suite like Word Excel or PowerPoint. Scripts are a powerful extender to access with Jaws but should not be required for widely used mainstream employment products like Microsoft Office and the increasing used One Note. They should come with Jaws. Scripts should be reserved / needed for vertical specialist employment software. Having said that if you are employment now then I think you probably have little choice but to purchase scripts and the associated training to boost your productivity and protect yourself. One example of the scripts at least are on. https://www.hartgen.org/bhonenotewonder David griffithSent from Mail for Windows 10

Hi, When using onenote, jaws won't read the sidebar. I'm not even sure how to get to the sidebar.
Has Freedom scientific given a training on this topic? If not, they definately should.

I went and looked at the app again following my comment. I have not yet
done a lot of testing but it appears that they did fix the sluggish navigation
issues. It was fairly usable for me this time around using JAWS 2020.
Hope this helps.
