Hi,

On my HP laptop, its f6 by itself. I'm constantly muting my sound, including jaws, by accident. So, I wish I could change this keystroke. Does anyone know of an easy, accessible way to do this? I have a feeling it'll help both of us. Thanks, Jessica

need help unmuting volume
Jed Barton
Hey guys,
OK, just had a major problem. I have no idea how i did it. Fortunately someone was able to help me out of it, but i muted my system volume. Curious, when this happens, what is the keystroke to hit with the latest jaws to unmute everything? Thanks, Jed

Re: outlook 2016 and JAWS 2019, seems to be a new bug

I fear that a lot things will get fixed in Outlook 365 and not in the retail version. A bit unfair to us who cannot use 365 at work. Things like the fixes for PowerPoint are a good example.

Well, pressing alt+u results in a “ding” sound; indicating that no action could be taken. And, the “try” command thing remains. I am not using the subscription version of Outlook; that is, Office 360. I am indeed using Outlook 2016 and JAWS 2019.

Not for me, if I press the alt key and focus is on the Home menu all I have to do is arrow left twice and it will either say Turn on features coming soon or Turn off features coming soon checked. Are you maximized? I guess you can try Alt + U and see what happens, it’s a toggle so if things change for the worse just press it again. I assume you are talking about the subscription version of Outlook and not the retail version?
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Richard B. McDonald
Hi Sieghard!
Your below is interesting. However, for me when I follow these steps I end up hearing a series of "try" commands. What are those? I do not hear the option button about new features. I wonder if my hearing these "try" commands means that I have the new features option turned-on? Perhaps an alt+u would toggle them off? What do you think?
Thanks, Richard

Hi Steve,
Have you checked if the "Coming Soon" feature in Outlook is turned off? When you are in your Inbox press the Alt key to bring up the ribbon menu, you should be on "Home", now left arrow twice, here is Jaws History:
I press the Alt key and here this: Upper Ribbon, Ribbon, Home Tab, Alt followed by H I press the left arrow once and here this: Leaving menus, File Tab Button, Alt followed by F I press the left arrow a second time and here this: Ribbon Tabs Tab expanded, Turn on features coming soon Button, Alt followed by U
As you can see Alt followed by U is the shortcut, but that will just toggle it and not tell you if it's on or off. If it says " Turn on features coming soon" then it is off and your problem is a different one. But if you hear Turn off features coming soon Button checked" then it is on and you can turn this off by pressing the spacebar. Note that whether you turn it on or off Jaws will focus on an "OK" button and the message which it seems you can only read with the touch cursor is simply this:
You must restart this application for the changes to take effect. OK
So go ahead and press OK, then close Outlook completely, wait a few seconds and reopen it, now try to see if you can read those fields with the shortcut keys. I suggest this should be turned off, if it is on you may get upcoming features which could cause issues like this before Vispero and/or Microsoft has time to make any necessary changes. I certainly also don't have any issues with Alt + 1, Alt + 2 and so on reading the From, To, CC etc. Fields.
Best regards, Sieghard

Hi bro, I am using "Microsoft Outlook Subscription Version 16.0.10730.20280" I am able to read the sender information with alt and number keys without any issues. Please verify the focus once the message opens. if the focus is on the message and if you are not able to read the information with the alt and number keys, then, there might some issues with the jaws.

When I use team viewer, I can tab around to different fields. One will give a user name which the other person will need. This number will stay the same for that specific computer for all future sessions. The other item is a 4 digit password which the other person needs as well. This password changes for each session. JAWS will read both of these numbers, occasionally I have had to use the JAWS cursor to review for the user number. You may have to wait a minute or so for the information to appear. Once the second person enters this information, they can view your computer. They can also operate your computer to some extent, so be sure it is someone you are comfortable with. Barbara

I am not sure what to say here since I know nothing about PC Audio Labs. Are you able to uninstall that particular version of team viewer and reinstall an general one? If this is some sort of security which prevents third party software, you may be stuck. Sigh.

On the version of Teamviewer I have, It pops up with a window that says "Obedia", which means that I would be logging on to the company that now owns PC Audio Labs. That particular version I have is specifically for PC Audio Labs Technical Support screen sharing. From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Barbara I have used Team viewer program for a Windows computer. It is free. It does allow for screen sharing. It is accessible. It does not have an audio option so you would need to use the phone for example. Another way is to open up your word processing software and write back and forth on it once you are connected. I have done that a few times when the telephone connection went bad. Smile.

Hi, it's Annabelle. Recently, I was getting some help from my sighted friend, Markus Johnson (yes, that's "Markus" with a K, not a C), and we ran into a problem with ITeleport, a software that allows one to share their screen with another. Specifically, ITeleport is being blocked by Google for security reasons, due to an "unrecognized device". Strangely enough, we used to be able to log on to ITeleport in the past with no problems at all. That being said, is there an alternative to ITeleport that won't experience that kind of problem? More specifically, is there a screenreader-friendly software for screen sharing? I know there's Team Viewer, but the version I have was specifically installed by PC Audio Labs, the company that makes the computer I have it on. I used to have Yuuguu (I think I spelled that right), which is both a screen sharing and chat software, but that one wasn't exactly screenreader friendly.

Re: 2 questions about Office 365
Van Lant, Robin
On the View ribbon, tab over to a checkbox for “Show messages as conversation”. Check that box. As an aside, you will also want to go into Options on the file menu and arrow down to the Ease of Access section. Hit space on that, then tab until you hear something about “don’t expand conversation when you arrow over them”. This will keep Outlook from automatically opening a conversation thread as you are arrowing up and down in your mailbox. To open a thread, you either right arrow or hit enter on the item. Close a thread by hitting left arrow. I’ve found this is a little quirkier in Outlook 2016 than it used to be, but it’s still a great feature for wading through group list messages.
