Re: Software there can record picture and sound from JAWS
Kelly <kelly@...>
Hi,
Depending on the computer, you can also use the Windows Game Bar to do this recording. From the application where you want to record, press win+g. You may have to answer a check box saying to treat the app like a game. Then you can use win+alt+r to start and stop recording. There are also options to include the microphone.
This requires Windows 10 but it is what I use most often these days.

Camtasia is OK, but I had a lot of difficulty configuring it and making it work to the point where the video was actually usable. Either too big or too small, sometimes I recorded and got blank (black) screens, so I uninstalled it. OBS Studio is what you need. Do you want to also record your own voice to narrate along with JAWS?Then you need a mixer to mix JAWS audio with a microphone.

Software there can record picture and sound from JAWS
Anders Boholdt-Petersen
Hi everyone
I look after a software there can record picture and sound from JAWS. This is because I should record some pictures and sounds about what there happen in a special web formula with JAWS activated.
Do you have heard about a software there can do that?
I have found a software called Camtasia from https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia, but I not have an idea about the accessibility for blind users in this software.
Thanks in advance for your answer, and have a nice day.
Regards, Anders

Re: creating and using "bookmarks" in Jaws
Dean Martineau <topdot@...>
This depends on whether you want to use your browser's bookmark capability,

which has nothing to do with JAWS, or if you want to use JAWS to mark places on web pages to return easily to those places. They're called place markers, and the help system has good instruction. Briefly, Go where you want the place marker to appear, and press ctrl+shift+K, then alt+a To add a place marker. Complete the fields, if you have questions, I can go into more detail. Once you're on a site where you have created a place marker, press K to navigate to it. If place markers isn't your question, which browser are you using?

Here's a couple of notes that might
help.
There are three ways to start skim
reading in MS Office Word.
1. Press CTRL+INSERT+DOWN
ARROW.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+DOWN
ARROW, tab to "Start Skim Reading",
and hit
enter.
3. Press INSERT+F2, down arrow to
"Skim Reading Tool", hit enter. Now,
tab to "Start Skim Reading", and hit
enter.
You can stop Skim Reading by
pressing CTRL key, or by pressing any arrow
key.
***
The following will explain skim
reading.
Skim Reading And Skim Reading With
Summary
How many times have you
received a manual for a device or software in
electronic form only to find that important passages or phrases are marked with bold or italic text? Even worse you have a huge document several hundred pages long you know has important information in it but it has no table of contents. A sighted person would simply flick the pages over or scroll the document down the screen until a phrase or text colour or font caught their eye. They'd then stop and read to see if it was what they were after. For a Braille user this is harder to do but can be done with practice. But how do you do it with speech only? In Jaws 6.0 a function called
Skim Reading was introduced which allows you
to do exactly the kind of thing sighted people can do so easily. If you're using Jaws version 6.0 I strongly suggest you update to 6.2 to get the full functionality of this feature. Jaws 6.2 is a free update for you and can be downloaded from Skim reading will work in any
word processor. It will even work in Note
Pad or on a web page. To enter the Skim Reading dialog box press Control +Shift +Jaws Key +Down Arrow. The Jaws key is usually the Insert on the number pad unless you have changed your keyboard layout. If you're using the Laptop layout it's the Caps Lock. The skim reading feature is
very powerful but simple enough to operate.
When you first open the skim reading window you are on a series of 4 radio buttons. These switch between the various ways of reading. I will discuss them briefly below. If you keep pressing the Tab key you will cycle through 5 other options that appear regardless of the Skim Reading method selected. Skim Reading
Indication
When checked, this will cause Jaws
to produce a sound while searching for
text. This tells you that Jaws is still searching and is especially useful in large documents if the occurrences of the text are few. Start Skim
Reading
Pressing space or enter on this
button closes the Skim Reading dialog box.
Jaws will then start to read out any text matches it finds. Pressing the control key will silence jaws and halt the Skim Reading process. Create Summary
This is probably the most useful way
to Skim Read. This option will go
through the entire document and dump any results into a separate window. Each result will be on it's own line and is a link. Pressing enter on any of these links will drop you back onto the document at the exact spot that text occurs. Close
Pressing Space or Enter on this
option will close the Skim Reading dialog
without any further action. Help
This will bring up the Jaws Help
with information on the Skim Reading
feature. As stated above there are 4
ways you can Skim Read in a document using
Jaws. The first 2 really don't need any explanation: Read First Line Of Every Paragraph and Read First Sentence of Every Paragraph. The next 2 do need some
explanation:
Text Rules Apply For
Reading
This option allows you to search for
every occurrence of a string of text in
the document. Use the up and down arrow keys to select this option from the radio buttons then press tab. The Rules history combo box is extremely useful. Jaws actually remembers any rules you have defined in the past. Use the arrows to select a rule if you wish to use one of the ones you created earlier. Pressing Tab again gets you to the edit box to type in the text you want to search for. Press tab again and select either the line, sentence or paragraph depending on how you want the results displayed. You can then tab to the Skim Read or Create Summary buttons. There are more advanced ways
of searching for text which I won't go into
here. If you want more information on these you can download the Skim Reading tutorial from the Freedom Scientific web site. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up.

Another possible way of doing this is using the JAWS skim
reading utility. If you bring up the utility, and then go down to the fourth
item, you can select colors and attributes to search for. There is then a quick
nav key to go to the next item, and I believe one can also get a list of all

This is a great feature for when you get a PDF and are told to read the items marked in red. I don't think it works in excel, but that would be cool if it did.

All you have to do is to download the JAWS executable and run it, and it will repair the product. In my case, thanks to some guidance from FS tech support, I also copied my settings folder, found when you hit Explore my Settings from utilities, elsewhere and deleted its contents. That was the only way I solved my problem. Also, a couple of us have experienced, if you have any older versions of JAWS on the system, that the program insists on coming up asking you to merge the settings from the earlier version, and it will not accept no for an answer.

With the update of JAWS 2019 I have, the version that I have is J2019.1907.31. When I went to the Freedom Scientific download page and tried to locate the .exe for J2019.1907.31 there was none. All that showed was J2019.1907.42.exe. When I tried to save it to the C drive I got a dialog saying that my administrator would not allow me to save it on the C drive. Even after I renamed the file as j2019.1907.31.exe, the same dialog kept popping up. I have to do a JAWS repair before I will be able to download the latest update. Can one of you help me and tell me how to go about it. Thanks.
