having Jaws read cell contents

Tom <tomcat509@...>
 

Hi,

 

Using: latest W10 nd latest Jaws 2019

 

While in a web site table, how can Jaws be made to read the contents of a cell letter by letter when required?

 

By pressing the arrow keys, Jaws reads the cell contents in full but sometimes it is useful to study the cell contents character by character. How can this be achieved?

 

Thanks

Re: need some help with being able to read a map with jaws

Is there a way you can input the latitude and longitude in the search?
How would you do it?

List Rules - Fri, 03/01/2019 #cal-notice

main@jfw.groups.io Calendar <noreply@...>
 

List Rules

When:
Friday, 1 March 2019
12:00am to 1:00am
(GMT-05:00) America/New York

Description:
The following is the current version of the JFW Mailing List policies. These are sent out monthly, and also available from:

http://groups.io/g/jfw/wiki/List-Policies 

 

**List Policies**

1: Keep it clean. We're a family list, and there are people here who probably don't want to hear everything *exactly* that's running through your head. If you wouldn't see it on TV, it doesn't belong in a post to the list. If you're not sure, email the administration before you post it to the list. Otherwise, you stand to see your posts moderated.

2: Stay on topic. We're a JFW-oriented list. That said, anything related to JFW, its functionality with programs etc is acceptable. If it doesn't have to do with JFW, it doesn't belong on the list. This includes, but isn't limited to, talk of other screen readers such as Window Eyes.

3: Listen to, and respect, the wishes of the admins/moderators. If you're asked by an admin or moderator to drop a subject, or take something to private emails (in the instance of two people carrying on a thread list-wide), please do so. If the subject is changed on a thread by an admin or moderator, it will be explained why in the email sent out with it. Please don't continue replying to the old subject.

4: Don't ask over the list for a position on the list administration. If you'd like to help out, it's of course welcome, but address the request to do so to the admin team, otherwise it'll be ignored. Requests are always welcome, whether help is being looked for or not. When help is needed, a post will be made to the list. The requests already received will be kept in mind.

5: Keep flaming to a minimum. This is not limited to flaming of each other, but goes beyond that, to flaming of products, opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc. Constructive criticism never hurts. Flame wars, especially public ones, both drive people from this list and are unwelcome here. either take the problem to private emails, or report the problem to list administration.

6. Respect the opinions and views of others. This is *very* important in any environment, most especially an online environment where the only gage one has on a person is what that person puts to writing. If you come off as hostile in your posting, whether you intended to or not, people will take it as such. Online, "face value" means just that. People make mistakes, people don't always have access to the same information you do. For that matter, people don't always have the same experience you do. If you know how someone can solve their problem, great. Suggest it to them and/or the list. Do *not* proceed to tell someone, on or off list, that they have no business posting. Repeat offenders of this particular rule will be banned for a week to 30 days, depending on the severity. Serious problems will be banned permanently.

As always, if there are problems or questions with regards these policies, don't hesitate to send them off-list to jfw+owner@groups.io

James,
List Admin

Hi, Tom. I don't know why your enhanced security tab is saying unavailable. I can get to my enhanced security settings just fine. I am using Windows 10, and I am using JAWS 2019.1901.66, home use edition.

Re: general accessibility of Google apps

Jerry Berrier <jerry.berrier@...>
 

Hi all,

 

I am a JAWS user. I use Google products every day, and I agree that I lose some productivity.

I use Outlook for Gmail, although I also use the website some of the time.  I have learned some tricks that make it usable, but it’s the least accessible of all of the Google apps I have tried.

Google calendar is wonderfully accessible with JAWS. I almost never revert to the calendar in Outlook.

With Google calendar, it’s easy to invite people to meetings, and I can select a meeting time time based on the availability of the recipients I have added to the invitation.

It’s the one Google app that has added to my productivity.

I'm not a Google fan, and you are right, the outlook calendar is far better.

But, are you still going to be using Office, or have to use the online Google interface?

I couldn't imagine being nearly as productive with the Google interface.

Good luck,

I just learned that my institution might be switching all of its emailing and calendaring system to Google products. As a long-term Outlook user, this bums me out a lot. I haven’t used Google products much since my first attempts were incredibly frustrating. I think they have come some ways in making their products more accessible to screen readers, but my sense is still that accessibility is still more clunky and cumbersome than e.g., Outlook.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who is a power Google user with Jaws, who can hopefully reassure me that I won’t have to spend weeks learning how to use Google mail etc with Jaws. I’ve struggled through learning how to use Google calendar because I had to for other reasons, but even after 6 months, I find it more cumbersome to use than Outlook. If anyone can point to resources where the accessibility of e.g. Outlook and Google are compared and assessed, that would be helpful. I know there are online resources, including at Freedom Scientific (or whatever they call themselves this week), and the Google people have an accessibility department etc, but when all is said and done, is the accessibility within the Google environment as efficient as in Outlook? I’m not sure I can stop the train at my institution at this point, but I’m willing to try anything. Thanks.

We have a professor that is blind and our college changed our email system to gmail. I imaped her gmail account to Outlook because she had a hard time navigating gmail with JAWS. Here is a link on how to imap gmail to Outlook.
