accessing WebEx meetings and shared screens
shanti aaron
I have had many occasions to access WebEx meetings and have had no difficulties using JAWS to respond to a meeting invite and sharing my screen. However, I now am encountering difficulties in accessing a meeting where the screen is shared by someone else in the meeting. I am not able to access the screen and wanted to ask if the screen would not be accessible to me with JAWS. Additionally, if I share my screen, can one of the participants access my screen to provide edits?
Thanks, Shanti

Hello, I’m using Windows10, Outlook2016 and Jaws2018. Starting last week I encountered a problem when I switch from the inbox to a different folder. I go to another folder, read a few of the emails and then return to the inbox. When I get back to the inbox it says there are zero emails. I arrow up and down and nothing shows. I page up and down and nothing shows up. I exit Outlook and then try to go back in. When I try to activate Outllok from the desktop or from Cortona, it will not load. I can activate 3 or 4 other apps from the desk and sometimes Outlook will load. Most of the time I have to reboot. My main concern right now is why don’t the emails appear in the inbox after I switch in and out of the inbox? They will only show up after I go out and then back into Outlook. Cheers, Kevin go back

Re: JAWS & Text boxes

Hi, Using Excel with an Office 365 subscription but using downloaded program. Issue can be intermittent and not all may be seeing this. However the problem was discussed on the list a while back and as I am having the issue I called support yesterday and was told that they are aware of the bug and future releases, sooner than later, will address this.

Hi Dan,
Is this the retail version of Excel or Excel via Office 365 subscription? I have Office 365 and use Jaws 2019 and I just opened Excel and started typing "Have" and Jaws read the "H" as soon as I typed it. I tried this simply by typing on cell A1 and I also tried it by first pressing F2 to edit the cell and then starting to type it.

This is in relation to an earlier question regarding JAWS and text boxes and text in Excel. Vespiro tech support just confirmed to me that they are aware of a bug in JAWS where JAWS will not speak the first letter when typing in Excel, text boxes and other programs. For instance when typing “have” JAWS reads “ave”. If you go back a word or use say all the reading is fine. But when typing JAWS most often leaves off reading first letter. Does not matter the voice profile. Just offering this to others who have experienced the issue .

Re: Which twain compatible scanner for use with Jaws 2018/2019 OCR feature
And if you use Jaws OCR you can really use any scanner TWAIN compatible or not. We use a Fujitsu Scansnap IX500 document scanner which is a scanner which pulls the pages through instead of having to put them on a flatbed and it lets you very easily save the image file as a PDF, then you could just do the OCR on the PDF file.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The Scansnap is amazing, I had a $1,200 HP Scanjet 8500 before which had a 14 inch flatbed and I bought the $300 document feeder attachment and besides being positively huge compared to the little Scansnap the document feeder had lots of issues and after 4 or 5 years quit working. I had the Scansnap now for probably 6 or 7 years and paid $500 for it and it just scans and scans and it's so incredibly fast. I can put in a stack of 10 double sided pages and it pulls them through in about 30 seconds scanning both sides at the same time. I have a retail store and we scan all our invoices and other paperwork and virtually keep no more paper files and if the Fujitsu ever quits I would never buy anything but the same scanner or whatever the follow-up model is. Regards, Sieghard

Again, any thoughts on getting this to work correctly with Jaws would be appreciated.

When I start a new email in Outlook, it is not reading the addresses when I start typing. For example, I am in the to field and type the letter t, I am told that there are five email addresses that start with t in my list, but when I arrow down it is no longer speaking the addresses.
I am using office 365 with Jaws 2019.
It use to read the addresses and let me arrow and select from a list. Now it appears like there is a list that is not being read.
I will play around to see if NVDA or Narrator work correctly.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi

If you’re going to be scanning using a desktop PC, Epson scanners are always a good option. If you’re using a laptop and need portability, the Cannon Lide 220 only needs power from the USB port, will fit in your laptop bag and can be purchased from Amazon probably for under $80 or $100 tops. It’s slow and not designed for real heavy-duty scanning over the long haul but it works pretty well. I avoid all-in-one printer/scanner/fax devices like the plague.

I've owned three all-in-one units with screens, and the screen hasn't effected scanning functionality on any of them. Right now I do most of my scanning with a giant Epson workforce all-in-one that has a 11x17 scanner. It works fine with Jaws, as long as you choose the right scanner for the ocr, there are choices that won't work at all.

I think you would just need to make sure that which ever one you got did not have to be run by some other software. If it can be run purely as a Twain scanner, then it should work fine.
I have an old Canon LIDE 110, I think is the model number and it works fine. It is probably a little slow, but was under $100 when I bought it probably 7 years ago.
