Re: Notifications Window Really Getting Annoying
David Bailes
Hi Steve,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
just to add to what Bill has already said. Focus assist is exactly what you're looking for. When it's on, banner notifications don't appear, but notifications still appear in the Action centre. This assumes that the writers of a program sending notifications are playing by the rules, but hopefully most will be doing so. So just set focus assist to alarms only. As well as being able to do this in the settings app, you can also change the focus assist setting using the context menu of the action center icon in the notification area (system tray). If you need any more information of focus assist, then in the notifications section of the following guide, there's a sub section on focus assist: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Taskbar-10-Guide.html David.

Hi, Steve.
On Windows 10, Focus assist is a handy feature that allows you to minimize or completely stop notifications when you need to stay focused to get work done, or you want to avoid interruptions during a presentation or while playing an exciting game.
Focus assist isn't a new feature with the Windows 10 April 2018 update (version 1803), and it was previously known as Quiet hours. However, with a new name, you're now getting new options to customize the experience, including the ability to automatically pick those times when you don't want to be bothered with automatic rules.

Re: Windows 2010 and Edge

Very irresponsible of them to change all this without saving your jaws user settings or consulting you. Are you logged o as and administrator or standard user? you need to go to default program and switch your web browser you are using to Internet explorer, Firefox or chrome. If your a standard user all you can do is get a hold of your IT department and make them fix it they have to get it working for you. When 10 is very accessible once you get used to it but all your program should basically be the same as before.

Re: Jaws 2019 and desktop shortcut keys
David Csercsics
Yes, I am actually considering getting JAWS, I'm just trying to figure out what the best option is since I'm not in the US and they seem to be in some weird mode where they're changing their licenses, so I'm wondering what the most future proof option is as well as if it is worth the investment, which I think it may be given that I usually prefer braille, and their braille support is very good. Also I'm the sort that likes to tweak the hell out of things, so it may be worth the trouble for that as well, but I'm just exploring things right now. It's jut that the economics doesn't make sense at this point, because I'm not sure what's going on with their licenses, but I'm interested in testing to make sure that anyone who needs screen reading can get the functions they need. That's why I joined the list. I'd be happy to test betas because I have the time, and I'm not particularly loyal to any screen readers or brands in general, I'm just trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. But I'll contact Freedom Scientific and see what they can tell me.

No bother.

I didn't realize the $90 subscription offer from Freedom Scientific wasn't good in Canada. It sounds like you could be using one of the free screen readers when not using Jaws, which to avoid list administrative ire, I won't mention. But for many things, yes, Jaws is still more powerful. Perhaps you could still write Eric Damery at FS to say that in demo mode of Jaws 2019 your desktop shortcuts don't work. So far, none of their 100 or so beta testers can duplicate it and none of their tech staff can either. edamery@vispero.com Thanks, Richard Check out my web site at: www.turner42.com “The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.

As Maria pointed out, demo mode only works for 40 minutes and you have to reboot your system.
