Re: Making JAWS announce shortcut sequences
Bill White
Hi, Brian. It might not have to do with Access keys. It might have to do with the level of verbocity in JAWS. Try it with the following checked:
Tutor Messages Announce Menu and Control Help radio button checked
This setting is in Basic Settings in JAWS.

1809 and creating restore point
Onwardbob
Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't create a restore point. Using
J-2018 and W-1809 I can get in to the create restore point but it shows recovery off and I can't uncheck this. In configure, disable system protection is also checked and I can't uncheck it either. Can someone give me step by step instructions? Thank, this one has me feeling dumb...s BOB SOUTAR.ONWARD THRU THE FOG

Re: Making JAWS announce shortcut sequences
Update: Sadly, tweaking the access keys settings to all didn't change a thing.
I know darned well that at one time when you traversed the ribbon the "end of shortcut" sequence for the control on which you've landed was announced. I rely on that as far as a student's ability to keep adding to their own "greatest hits" list as they find controls they use all the time. It doesn't help to know if, for instance, in Microsoft Word that the font is in the Home Ribbon, Font Group, and that you can get to it "the long way" each time rather than knowing that if you hit ALT+H,FF will instantly take you there. I need that FF to somehow be announced when you land on that control, and NVDA still does it by default. I know JAWS can, too. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

I never realized it before, because I generally go directly to my Gmail to fill in text boxes such as signature. It carries through to Windows Mail and isn’t a problem for me. But I do realize another annoying challenge: Some links will not open in Windows Mail, and I have to go into Gmail to open them. Do any of you have this problem?
Also, have any of you had the experience where you open a message in mail and JAWS shows it as a blank page? When I unload JAWS and start it again,. The message is right there. It doesn’t happen every time.

My company uses a web-based application from Kronos .

I’m new to JAWS and have hand some adjustment to it acting a little differently.. We do not request time off through this system; I’m not sure if that is a feature Kronos offers.

Tom Crane, an expert in emergency management at Everbridge, a critical communications provider, told TechCrunch that the WEA has "extra safeguards" in place before sending an alert.

Re: fema alert today. you need to know.
Mario

"Although today is a test, any future presidential alert can be sent solely at the discretion of the president and can be issued for any reason." In short, no. Because it has been dubbed a Presidential Alert, some have claimed that Trump himself will be sending out a personalized message. However, FEMA said the alert system meant to be used in case of an emergency, and Wednesday’s Presidential Alert will only feature a brief text pertaining directly the test. There is also a law prohibiting Trump or any president from abusing the system. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Modernization Act of 2015 specifically states that the warning system must only be used to alert the public of a potential disaster, so if Trump were to use the presidential alert for anything other than it’s intended use, he would be breaking the law. “Except to the extent necessary for testing the public alert and warning system, the public alert and warning system shall not be used to transmit a message that does not relate to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster or threat to public safety.” the act states. “The message is not coming directly from the President,” a FEMA spokesman tells TIME. “The message is going to be sent on behalf of the president. The president or anyone that he designates will be advised by the staff to activate the warning and then issue it to the public, at that time the designee would contact FEMA at our operations center and tell us to activate the warning.”

Indeed, if I remember correctly a Cash Manager rep even popped up to explain that they take care to insure that their application is accessible. https://cashmanager.io/us/accessibility I know Quickbooks has the name recognition and majority market share, but it can't hurt to try an alternative. After all, numbers are numbers and everything else to a degree is just noise. I don't use the product since my wife handles the books, so I can't speak as to how accessible Cash Manager is or if they've maintained their commitment to accessibility, but there you go. As Sieghard points out though, unless you have a foundation or some sort of knowledge in accounting, it really won't matter what you choose. Cristóbal

No good solution for something like this will most likely be free. There is also Quickbooks Online which is a subscription service. It is quite accessible at this point, apparently even more so on an iOS device and Quickbooks takes accessibility quite serious and they are working constantly on making the service work even better. Keep in mind, though, that Quickbooks is primarily an accounting package and while just as with any good accounting package you can track customers and suppliers, if you don't know at least some basics of accounting it maybe difficult to learn it and there will definitely be a good bit of learning involved and you might want to consider inquiring about Quickbooks courses.

I know this might sound complicated, but I'm wondering, do any of you JAWS members out there know if there's a software that works with JAWS, with which I can manage customer accounts? When I start my company making products and services that are accessible for people of all abilities, I want to be able to have an accessible software for managing customers' information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, order numbers, and receipts, for when they want to purchase a product or service from my company. I guess you could say I'm thinking of a software for management of customers' orders. Are there any good business management softwares out there that work well with JAWS? -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

fema alert today. you need to know.
netbat66
sorry, but i thought if i only sent a link you would think this is spam.
i wanted everyone to know about this fema alert all cell phone users are going to get today at 11:20 california time. https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/03/fema-is-about-to-send-a-presidential-alert-to-millions-of-u-s-phones/ FEMA is about to send a ‘Presidential Alert’ to millions of U.S. phones Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker / 2 hours ago fema-hero In a few hours, millions of Americans will get a test emergency “Presidential Alert” message sent to their phone — a simulation in case the president ever needs to reach to entire country in a national emergency. At 2:18pm ET, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will send a short alert, saying: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” A few minutes later, televisions and radio broadcasts will briefly suspend and a similar message will run. The test was originally scheduled for mid-September but was delayed until Wednesday after Hurricane Florence hit the east coast. This will be the first time the government has conducted a nationwide test of the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system, according to a FEMA advisory. Emergency warnings used to be confined to television and radio broadcasts, sounding out that familiar terrifying high-pitch tone. But as consumers moved away from televisions and radio to mobile devices that are always with us, the government began working on a system to get emergency alerts in our hands. Since it was devised in 2006 under the Bush administration, the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) has slowly rolled out across the U.S. to form a new state-of-the-art emergency alert system. Like the legacy system, the WEA is designed to alert Americans to bad weather and missing children at a local level directly to your phone. But now FEMA wants to test a third alert — the presidential alert — which will send a message to every switched-on phone with cell service across the U.S. at the same time. This won’t be a text message sent to your phone, experts say. Instead of sending text messages that would flood the networks, the alerts are sent directly over the cellular network. Although today is a test, any future presidential alert can be sent solely at the discretion of the president and can be issued for any reason. And, unlike other alerts, Americans cannot opt-out of receiving a presidential alert. Some have expressed concern that the system could be abused for political reasons. Others worry that the system could be hacked. Tom Crane, an expert in emergency management at Everbridge, a critical communications provider, told TechCrunch that the WEA has “extra safeguards” in place before sending an alert. An authorized user has to enter a complex password that has two elements — a private key and a keystore password — which are unique for each alerting authority. “It’s not as easy as ‘someone left their computer unattended so i’m going to send a Wireless Emergency Alert’,” he said. The emergency alert system is far from perfect. Earlier this year, panic spread on Hawaii after an erroneous alert warned residents of a “ballistic missile threat inbound.” The message said, “this is not a drill.” The false warning was amid the height of tensions between the US and North9:20 AM Korea, which at the time was regularly test-firing rockets used for its nuclear missile program.
