Sounds reasonable to me. Besides which, if there are 2+ lists essentially covering the same ground, and a bunch of people are on both/all of them, what???ll happen is that you???ll end up seeing the same question repeated multiple times.

OK, I hope that our estimable group owner here on this group will not find what I'm about to do upsetting, but now I must:

Why, oh why, does there even need to be another JAWS users group on Groups.io?

It seems that all the refugees (for lack of a better term) from the now defunct group that have landed on our shores have been welcomed to our island.?? Why on earth form another island, again, for information sharing about exactly the same software that we share about here??? Why not just come here and join our happy family?

What is the pressing need for JAWS user's groups two through N, at least within any given language community? What am I missing?

Good afternoon all; perhaps someone can help me.  this is from one of my clients.

 

I wonder if you had a suggestion about a problem I am having with excel. I have gone through all of the help info with no luck at all. I don’t know if you can help but here it is. Excel does not recognize date formats as numbers only as text. When I enter a dates in a date column I need it to be recognized as a date in order to sort them to put them in order. I have no luck in using the date value or value function getting an error that my formula is wrong. I have gone on the internet and have had no luck with support.microsoft.com and it isn’t a disability issue for Microsoft accessibility help. Is there something I am missing? Do you have any suggestions ?

Hi, How do I join?
I'm very sad to hear about the closure of the other jaws list.

Why did this happen?

Thanks,

Here is an email being circulated widely. Hello Lists,

Michael Capelle recently started the jfw-users@groups.io list in
response to the closure of the jaws-users-list@groups.io list. I am
the moderator of this new list and am seeking new members in order to
make it the best resource possible for JAWS information.
I will do my best to keep topics on point while encouraging
communication.
But we need as many JAWS savvy users as possible in order to have the
best knowledgebase. Hope to see you on the list.

Hello all:
Tyler, thank you for the insight. I mainly use Microsoft office suite, and browse the web with this unit. I’m looking on dell.com. I’m looking at a I seven 512 solid-state drive with 16 gig of RAM. And a plain graphics card. That retails for $1200. I’m not looking to spend more than that, and it states it’s a gaming computer. If the unit specs will last me around six years plus I would be very happy with that.

The only reason to have the faster processors is if you are editing large audio or video files and multitasking with some processor heavy software, which most people do not do.

And, if I remember correctly; which may be a big if, those graphic cards he mentioned have been problematic with Jaws.

Unless he has some software that is requiring it, which would be surprising.

I will never go back to a standard HD drive after using my SSD drive now for a year.

Hi,
This is completely, 100% true.
Although using a solid state drive in 2019 is almost a must - at least for
those that have experienced one. But so far as other sspecs are concerned
there are too many people out there that equate an i7 or i9 to being better
and that simply isn't true for just about 99% of use case scenarios.
Now that I look back at the specs, what are you needing a dedicated Nvidia
Graphics card for in particular? Intel hd graphics does just fine so far as
Jaws is concerned.

The suggestion about a 500 GB SSD is totally subjective.
I've seen folks who never use more than 80 to 10 GB of their HD.
Too often people think bigger is better and that is not always the case.
Also, when you look at all the high specs, what are you doing with it all?
I mean, I'll bet 90% of us here don't do any more than read eMail, open some
web pages, open a spread sheet program once in a while, and listen to some
MP3 audio.
All this can be done with 10 year old technology just fine.

A tech told me anything over 8 Gigs of ram is too much.  I think he was  

dipping into some sort of sauce.  I received what I was told was a  

refurbished Win 10 computer with 250 Gs hard drive.  It turned out to

be a  windows 7 originally and you could make dinner by the time it booted

up.

Thus, I agree with Feliciano.

Hello all.

Looking to purchase a new dell laptop computer. Here are the specs:

I9 processor

16 GB ram

256 GB SSD

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

I would like this computer to last me about six years. Are all of

these

specs acceptable for running JFW? Is there anything else that I should

make certain a new laptop has for JFW use?

Appreciate any advise.

Thank you-

Andrew

Actually I go to a site which has a link to a mp3 file. I just looked
at it closer and there are two links One is to play it through the
browser. The next link allows me to download it to my laptop. I then
opened the zip file, selected the mp3 file and it starts playing through

With that in mind is there a way to advance the mp3 file to the point
I left off at after I closed the file?

Two thoughts, and there could be many others. First, put the JAWS
focus somewhere else, maybe you are focused on the time display.
Second,

assuming you?re just listening to the video and don?t need JAWS for
anything else at the moment, press insert+space, S to have JAWS just
give speech on the demand, then switch it back.

Hello, There has been several times I will be on a web site and
listening to a video. every 20 seconds or so the amount of time that
has elapsed is read by Jaws. Is there a way to turn this off?
