Re: What choice do I use to get a Focus Blue paired so it works with JAWS?
Michael Mote
Hi Kevin. If you are running windows 10, you should be able to add the Focus fairly easily. I've done this with several braille displays in the past. You will first need to access your settings by pressing Windows plus the letter I. Then, under the devices category, select bluetooth and other devices. Once you have that selected, tab over to the add blue tooth device. A list should display, and the focus should show up. Press enter on it, and Windows should do the rest. Then, you will have to set up your display in JAWS, and make sure JAWS is pointing at the correct device. You will set up your display under the Synthesizer and braille options in JAWS. Follow the steps there, and it should work for you.

Hi.
I will very soon be the proud owner of a Focus 40 Blue display, but I have a really simple question about it, and it deals with pairing it so it works over Bluetooth. I had to get a Bluetooth dongle for my Windows 10 laptop, because the one in it is broke. I can’t get Windows to pair with other devices through it like the instructions claim, so I installed the drivers that came with the dongle. I now have this nice piece of software with the CSR dongle, but I’m not quite sure what to do from here. My question is, what kind of a device is the Focus? I have several options to choose from, such as a phone and headphones, but they’re not what I want. I have three choices to select from, but I don’t know which one to use. They are: Keyboard, Computer, and All. Now, just which one do I use? I’d try Keyboard, but I don’t know if that’s good enough, because JAWS sends data to the display to read. I think Computer is overkill, so I don’t think it’s that one either. All might be what I want, but I’m not really familiar with using Bluetooth. Can someone give me some help? I’m asking here, because if I want to use the Focus over Bluetooth with JAWS, I need to get this working, but I’m a newbie at this. Once I learn, I’ll be more than happy to pay the kindness forward for someone else out there.
Thanks in advance for the help, and if things really work out well, I might have one of these neat things in my grubby little hands next week. There’s a good and bad side to that, though. The good side is I’ll have it. The bad side is if I get it now, my financial advisor, also known as Mom will kill me for doing it, so I won’t get to use it. Even worse, I probably wouldn’t even be buried with it because she’d send it back. All kidding aside, Mom has my best interest at heart, and she might holler a bit, but I’ll deal with it and go on from there.
Have a great day and don’t work too hard. Kevin and Jilly

I found that Jaws doesn't say "blank" when I open a web page with krome after I went into Chrome settings and turned on the accessibility features. Jaws also lags sometimes when I switch windows then return to Chrome. However, it resumes working when I press f5 to refresh the screen. Maximising the screen doesn't help. Hope this helps. Cheers Zel

Have you unloaded and re-loaded Jaws or, if that doesn't help, do a reboot of the computer and see if that makes a difference on the same website.

Re: Logitech G613 Lightspeed wireless mechanical gaming keyboard

Hi Sieghard, Thanks for the review, I agree it is hard to find a keyboard that ticks all the boxes.

Hi,
I thought it would be OK to post a brief review here on the Logitech G613 wireless mechanical gaming keyboard since just as myself I assume others also are always looking for the “perfect” keyboard. This Logitech G613 “Lightspeed” wireless mechanical gaming keyboard can connect to iOS via Bluetooth and to a PC using the supplied USB receiver which then let’s you take advantage of the “Lightspeed” 1 millisecond delay which is pretty impressive (if you connect to a PC with Bluetooth this does not apply and while it’s probably still just as good as any other Bluetooth keyboard, it sort of makes sense to make the most of this keyboard’s features). I still use my trusty Logitech K780 at home where I have it connected to my laptop via Bluetooth as well as to my iPhone and Apple TV, but I bought the G613 for my main PC at work and I must say so far it’s getting pretty close to that perfect score. Unlike most wired mechanical gaming keyboards this does not have all the fancy RGB lighting options which of course is fine for me. The one thing I am not super fond of are the 6 F1 through fF6 function keys in a vertical column down the left side of the keyboard with maybe half an inch of space between them and the left most keys like Control, Shift, Caps Lock, Tab, ` and Escape. But I also bought a wired Logitech mechanical keyboard and it also has them, most mechanical keyboards are designed for gamers rather than people who want a mechanical keyboard for typing. It takes a bit of getting used to not accidently pressing them. gamers can configure these keys as macro keys to perform whatever actions gamers want. Apart from that the keyboard has a very traditional layout with nice spaces between the blocks of function keys, the inverted cursor T, the 6-pack with Insert/Delete, Page Up/Down and Home/End, of course the number pad and above that it has 4 more slightly lower media keys for Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind and Forward. At the very top is a slider switch which locks the Windows key which apparently gamers like so they don’t accidently press it and Cortana/the search box pops up, then there are two buttons which switch between the USB Lightspeed connection and the Bluetooth connection and once the Bluetooth connection to the iPhone has been established all it takes is to press the Bluetooth button in order to switch to the phone and the USB button to switch back. On the very top right is a large key which is a volume rocker, press the left side for down and the right side for up and beside that is a Mute button. Finally on the right side towards the back is a on/off slider switch. The keyboard runs on 2 AA batteries and is supposed to give you 18 month of battery life. There is a proper application key on the right side of the spacebar which works, but there is no Windows key on the right side which is something you don’t hardly see any more.
Logitech uses their own Romer-G switches and not Cherry MXswitches. The Romer-G are most like Cherry Brown, a nice distance of travel, but not hard to press and relatively quiet for mechanical keys. They do take a bit of getting used to, but I quite like them. For those who want to read more about them, below is a link to a review from Tom’s Hardware:
Logitech’s Romer-G Switches – Are they any good?
The other nice thing about this keyboard is it’s relatively reasonable price, I paid $129.99 Canadian for it, believe I read that on a good deal you can pick it up in the US for as low as $70 US. Wireless mechanical keyboards are not out there too much yet, I did find a couple more made by the company “Das Keyboard” but they are more expensive although I may order them from Amazon to test and if I don’t like them at least as much or better send them back. My other 2 computers at my store where I have a Logitech MK510 keyboard and mouse combo both start to show their wear on the keyboards and I want to see if using mechanical keyboards won’t change the fact that many of the keyboards which are mostly out there these days are typically done after 2 or at most 3 years of heavy use. As with all mechanical keyboards keep in mind that the Logitech G613 is heavy compared to other non-mechanical wireless keyboards. And one last thing which is nice, this keyboard has function keys which work as function keys out of the box and as much as I also like my K780, it’s a bit of a pain to have to install the not very accessible Logitech Options software just so you can change the function keys to behave like function keys instead of media keys.
Happy typing, Sieghard

Re: Inserting a worksheet into a new excel document
Mark Fisher
Hi, There are several ways to achieve this but try this one. 1. Open both the workbook containing the sheet you want to copy and the workbook you wish to copy the sheet into. 2. Go to the sheet you want to copy or move. 3. Press F6 to cycle to the Sheet tab name - JAWS will say "Sheet Tab, TAB NAME tab". 4. Press the Applications key to display the equivalent of the right mouse click menu and arrow down until you here "Move or Copy Sheet" 5. Select this option. You will be asked to “move sheet before “ and be placed in a list of all the sheets in the workbook. 6. Press Shift+Tab to move into a combo box and JAWS will say “To Book” and the current file name will be spoken. 7. You can now arrow through the combo box and choose which file to move or copy the sheet into including to a new blank workbook. 8. Once you’ve made your choice, tab down to the “Create a coy” check box. Check this if you want to copy the sheet leaving the original untouched. Leave blank if you want to move the sheet from the current file to the new file. 9. Tab to the OK option and press Enter. The sheet will be moved or copied depending on your choice and you will be in the new file. This is the same option to move sheets around in a workbook as well. Be careful of copying sheets with embedded links to other tabs in the file. You can also get to this option by using the old command Alt+E M (Edit Move). Hope this helps

Re: Microsoft Word settings in Jaws
Once MS-Word is open for any document, including a blank one:
1. Hit ALT+F, T File Menu/Tab, Options 2. Down arrow until you reach the Proofing features, then TAB over to get to the individual controls 3. Navigate to the When correcting spelling and grammar in Word section 4. Uncheck the following two checkboxes: Check spelling as you type Mark grammar errors as you type And take a look at the other two, but I don't think those must be unchecked 5. Close out of Options and back to Word These choices should remain for all documents until or unless you alter them again. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner. ~ Eric Hoffer

It works much better in HTML view. there are even some hot keys--alt c to create, alt i to go to the inbox. When it says 'standard view' you are in HTML view. Press 'x' for the checkbox associated with an email. You can 'x' your way quickly through the mailbox.

my symbol. I have to do ctrl+a before entering the symbol. For this example I am going to use TER, it formed a doji on Friday so i want to watch it for a possible gap up on Monday to see if it is going to go bullish. Ctrl+f to find "Last Price". Up arrow, in this case 5 times, until Jaws reads the options
link. Can also press 1 to go to the first heading which will read the company name, then down arrow until Jaws reads the options link. I like the first way because sometimes they will have the upcoming earnings or dividends listed between the "last Price" and the links. Selecting the options link takes you to a basic options chain that has calls on the left and puts on the right. Pressing T takes you to the start of the table, and Jaws reads "calls span 7". I down arrow once to hear the date of the current chain, and it will always be the most recent chain. I now use the ctrl+alt+down arrow. What Jaws reads seems to depend on the browser. In Chrome I get "last", and in IE I get "Bid". In either case I continue holding down the ctrl+alt and use the right arrow key until I here "strike Price". ETrade shows 7 strike prices by default, so the fourth one down is the ATM strike. Using TER for an example, that would be the $47 strike. I am bullish on TER so I use ctrl+alt+left arrow to read the call info for the 47 strike, it goes ask, bid, last, change, volume, open interest, details link, trade link. Open interest for this strike is 283, I ctrl+alt+up and down
arrow through the open interest of the other strikes, because some
times high open interest is where the institutions have placed
there bets. I ctrl+alt+left arrow to go to the details link on the 48 strike for the 48 call, and select that link. On the new screen I press T to get to the start of the table that has last, change, bid, ask, volume, and a links to buy or sell. Press T a second time takes you to a table that has open, previous close, open interest, intrinsic value, time premium, and option type. This table has the labels down the left side, and the values down the right. T a third time gets you a different table, but is an extension of the previously described one with last day of trading, expiration date, exercise style, and options multiplier. The 4th table is a very minimal options chain with detail links for 5 strikes with calls on the left and puts on the right. I don't find it very useful. The 5th table has the current ticker information. Under the 5th table are charts, No short cut to get to them, so you have to go to the 5th table and arrow through to that info, but I don't find it useful. The 6th table is a form that lets you adjust some of the variables that effect option pricing. The 7th table has the Greeks. Under that is disclaimers. If you wish to trade this option under the first table select the buy or sell link. The buy is for buy to open, and sell is for sell to open. This can be changed on the order entry screen so it doesn't really matter which link is selected. The option info strike, expiration and type are prefilled in when going to the order entry, but in Chrome, if I were to change one thing, it removes all info and I have to enter it directly, IE doesn't have this problem, but it takes 30 seconds or so for the order entry screen to open. I am guessing this has to do with some settings in my browser, but not sure. Going back to the basics option chain, the first page after selecting options from the symbols quote page. To change the date of the options chain I press T to get to the start of the options chain table and press up arrow. The date layout seems to vary on browsers for some reason as well. 3 presses of the up arrow takes me to "all months", Jaws doesn't say link but it is clickable. I find using the space bar is more consistent for activating it instead of using the enter key, not sure why it would make a difference. In chrome I also need to do it twice. The first time jumps the cursor to somewhere different on the screen for some reason. Trying to view all months on something like the SPY with lots of expiration dates will get you an error. The next press of the up arrow should get you "graphic osi/b_arrow_rt_inactive". If Jaws doesn't read this, you'll need to turn graphics to all. Selecting this advances the date list by one more in to the future. For TER all available dates are shown, but on the SPY they wouldn't be. One more up arrow takes you to the list of the dates. The layout seems to differ depending on browser and symbol. Sometimes Jaws reads them all left to right, and in this case I use the ctrl+right arrow to read word by word and when I get to the one I want I press space bar. Sometimes Jaws will read a new date with each press of the up or down arrow, depending where you are in the list. And other times there it one date per line, but the next line might have multiple dates on it. When Jaws reads "graphic osi/b_arrow_lft_inactive" you are at the top of the date list. This of course moves the dates back if you went to far forward, does not show anything in the past. Starting back at the top of this screen I press C for the first Combo box. This lets you change the option chain from the standard calls and puts to puts or calls only, various spreads, and other options strategies. Below that is an edit box for changing the number of strikes displayed. You can enter a number or "all". This updates when you tab away from the edit field. The previous combo box does not do that. The next edit box is to change the price where you show strike prices near. I like ITM options so instead of showing all strike prices I could adjust the table to show the strikes near 40. This also updates when tabbing away. Down arrow a few more times and Jaws will say "Graphic osi/b_go_act", this is what you select if you change something in the form and it doesn't update. Below that is a checkbox for adjusted options. I think that pretty much covers stuff for the options, feel free to ask if I wasn't clear on something. Michael mbaldwin577@...
