Hi all,

 

I’m hoping someone here can help advise me on the best or some of the best models of headsets to use in a call center environment while using Jaws.

 

Thank you for any information you can give.

Hi Paul. It really depends on the type of phone system you plan on
using. If it is a hard phone that you need to use, there is really
only one choice, and that is a dual channel headset made by
Plantronics. If I remember correctly, the model number is 1783. If you
are using a soft phone set up, you can use a USB headset. I recommend
a Logitech headset which we use where I work.

I suffered the same issue many years ago and I learnt then to never never ever  use an external drive as my sole data point for any files unless I was happy to lose them. I  backup now on 2 drives and the cloud as well for the data I most value.

If it is drive failure rather than accidental deletion I fear that your only option would be to submit your physical drive to a specialist data recovery company who could do a sector  by sector data recovery.

This would cost however and it may be just be cheaper and more practical to try and recreate your lost data from other sources.

I hope that somebody else may be able to point you to accessible sector recovery tools but I do not think that they are straightforward as data may be spread all across your disc and it may be a mammoth task to recreate mp3 data files from various parts of your disc sector.

Hi. Lost a lot of music, about 50 gb from an external drive.

How to get back the files, or is there a tool, where I could get the recycle bin icon on a external drive.

Any one in the same position.

Or have I just lost the files.

As do I.   As a tutor I've frequently encountered new "web objects" for which no conventional interaction techniques, as most of us know them, work.  The nature of the web is such that these will be perpetually being created and screen reader developers will perpetually playing catch-up, at least for the ones that end up lasting.

This is another case where self-advocacy in regard to lack of accessibility is really necessary.   If you (the generic you) do not inform the entities that have this stuff out there that it's posing an accessibility roadblock it is very, very highly unlikely that they will ever know it.   I am not saying it's right that accessibility is not taken into account in many cases, but it is a fact that this occurs, and the smaller the entity the more likely that they have no idea of how to fix that or even consider accessibility.   And even if a given entity has a virtually perfect track record on accessibility, just one change adding one of these objects where extensive regression testing focused on accessibility was not performed can allow it to get out there.  No one can fix what they don't know is broken, and if they're unaware of accessibility issues as part of design, you can bring that to their attention for the first time.

But, if time is of the essence, get sighted help or try to get the HR folks from the place you're applying on the phone.  One way or another there will likely be a way to get an application completed even if that means intervention by someone else to "fill in the blanks" while things are still inaccessible.

Hi brian, I agree with you about sighted assistance, which is what I finally had to do when I encountered this same situation on a job application. I know exactly what the original poster went through. Perhaps this new weird combo box thing is popular with developers of job application sites or whatever. Once I had it explained to me, I understood it, but it is still pretty unconventional, at least in my view. I really feel for those who run into something like this with no where to turn. A show stopper, unfortunately. Norma

I, truly, cannot imagine what it's like for screen reader users faced with the continuous changes to web coding that have gone on for years and show no sign of stopping.

No matter how quickly screen reader makers integrate access to what shakes out as "gonna stick around" after a short time, the next round of "let's come up with something else, that doesn't do anything all that much different than established method X, just for the fun of it" occurs.    There are times, and from what I can see on this page as a sighted user, and how that search box works, this would be a major improvement if the screen reader and web object/control played well together, which clearly they do not at the moment.  Maybe eventually they will.

This is one reason, when it's readily available, that I tell my clients not to hesitate to seek sighted assistance when something just isn't working.   You can often spend hours and hours, getting more and more [justifiably] frustrated, and still not achieve the end you're looking for.   The control/object in question was entirely new to me, too, but being able to see what was happening and what the screen reader was/was not doing in response to it made all the difference.  It's about accomplishing something with the minimum of time and trouble possible, which often involves calling for help (whether sighted or not, as this group illustrates on a regular basis).

If you do the above every two seconds, that's when people eventually come at you with knives!  ;-)

I just checked.
You have exactly 17 choices for date format in Excel 2016.
If you want to define an entire column as a date column, go to the top of that column, press control+spacebar, then hit the application key, tab to the numbers format, arrow down to date, and either accept the default, or tab into the list of 17 options and arrow down to the one you want.

Hello,

 

I’m using windows10 and Outlook 2016 and Jaws2019. For some reason I get extra messages when I create a list. Such as the following:

 

  1. This is step one.
  2. this is step two.
  3. this is step three.

 

For some reason it will say level 1. When I arrow down it sometimes says it. When I arrow up it will say it on the last item in the list. It moves around. It even says it on the line after “hello,” What is causing this to happen. There must be some setting on.

 

Thanks,

I cannot speak to accessibility, but I can speak to the power of the tool:  


TestDisk - Partition Recovery and File Undelete

If things were lost by accidental deletion then TestDisk will likely get them back.  If it's drive failure, it might, and PhotoRec (which can recover more than photos) almost certainly can, though it's a grand pain to sort through the recovered files, as they do not retain their original file names if you have to resort to PhotoRec and you often end up with many duplicates since files get moved around with great regularity and PhotoRec will find all instances.

Hi Michael:

Not sure if you've managed to get your questions addressed in the

Do It Blind. They can be found at https://doitblind.com/shop/

Hopefully your tech department can get them installed for you. (I
wasn't as successful).

I, too, thoughtI was going to have to start working with OneNote 2013,
but it never materialized. I also found this in my google search, and
would argue it's more current. http://www.hartgen.org/blog/1

Either way, you'll need scripts, and won't be able to use OneNote out
of the box, as it were.

Best of luck. If you do get up and running, write me off list and let
me know how that went. Will be useful for future reference.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Aimee and I have just joined this group. Looking forward to sharing knowledge.This topic interest me a good bit. I am starting School soon for computer science. I have some useable vision and will be utilizing a Microsoft surface pro with CCTV software. The CCTV will primarily be used for math and math/statistics classes. Along with the CCTV software package, I will be using Jaws, Duxberry, Kurzweil, open book, word, Excel, outlook, browsing, writing and compiling programs, Various math writing and processing applications, firebird braille graphics, and video recording lectures. I think that is it.  I will frequently be using several of these at the same time  while video recording math lectures.

With that said, I am advocating for the surface with a core i7 and 16 gigs of RAM.  My previous computer has malfunction and is not repairable. I have found a CCTV on the market based off the Microsoft surface. I don't want to have a bazillion different devices. If I can get a portable cctv and computer all in one, I would prefer that. My previous computer was a Lenovo yoga 900 with a core I seven processor and 16 gigs of RAM as well as a 512 GB solid-state hard drive. Thus I feel the core i5 with 8gb of Ram would be going backwards.  I think the core I seven model of the surface will be necessary for productive schoolwork especially considering the simultaneous use of video magnification and distance video recording of lectures along with Jaws and who knows what else at the same time. Am I correct in my assumption of the necessity for the core i 7 16 gigs of RAM surface Pro? I don't necessarily want to go backwards in my equipment either. The Lenovo was purchased in 2016. So, it is not really all that old. I welcome any and all thoughts and suggestions. Is there anyone out there currently engaged in computer science/programming either in school or working who could add some insight here? If yes, please chime in.  All thoughts and insights will be very helpful and greatly appreciated. 

Aimee

If the unit specs will last me around six years plus I would be very happy with that.

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

Although using a solid state drive in 2019 is almost a must - at least for

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

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

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

Well, that was a good question. Not something I’ve used in a while, but I just put on The Face of Fu manchu and was able to accomplish this by:

Hit ctrl-t

Enter time in hours, minutes, seconds, separated by colons.

Hit enter.

This feature is a little finnicky as compared with, say, the “jump to time or frame or whatever” dialogue in goldWave, which can interpret many different types of values. Looks like you have to enter in the hour amount in single digit, regardless of where you want to go in the video. So for example, for thirty minutes, I type

0:30:00

How do you manage to get the jump to specific time feature to work at all?

 Vlc is my go to player, but unfortunately it doesnt work as well with jaws.

HI.

No scripts for VLC, to my knowledge. The programme is quite usable without, but the advanced preferences dialogue doesn't work as well as I would like.

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if there are any scripts ETC that have been developed for use with jaws and the popular VLC media player? I'm coming back to jaws after several years away, from a screenreader that has a great many community addons, one of which is for vlc so am just wondering if we have any scripts for use with this program?

Thanks much,


Daniel
