Dear Listers:

My niece tells me that in the list of podcast episodes that where
you choose the "all episodes," option, which I know is in a combo
box, to the right of that is a button where you can sort the
episodes from either newest to oldest or oldest to newest. JAWS
cannot seem to find this button. I am really trying to find out
about this, so if any of you have ever used Spotify with JAWS will
you please get back to me.

Bill,

Doesn’t work for me, it simply moves volume up and down, same as left and right arrow. I have to hit application key then arrow down to mixer. Don’t understand why all systems don’t work the same

Al

Hi, Alan. If you press ENTER on the Speakers icon in System Tray, there should be no need to press the Applications key. Arrowing down should reveal the Open Volume Mixer option.

I had the same problem. I think Bill met hit the applications key, then arrow down. I did this and got to where he indicated.

Alan

Hi Bill,

Yes, I am running Windows 10, but when I pressed enter on Speakers, I did not see volume mixer. It said something like “speakers real teque high definition audio”, and volume left-right slider, one of one. When tabbing, the only option was “mute toggle check box not checked”.

I hope you will be able to explain this issue.

Best,

Gezim

Hi, Jezim. If you're running Windows 10, to adjust JAWS volume,

1. Look for the Speakers icon in System Tray, and press ENTER.

2. Arrow down to Volume Mixer, and press ENTER.

3. TAB to the Volume for JAWS for Windows FSSynth32 COM object slider, and adjust as desired.

4. TAB to the Volume for Application file for JAWS slider, and also adjust as desired.

5. This should set JAWS to its highest setting for the level for which you have the speakers set.

Hi list,

For some reason, suddenly JAWS volume on my PC was lowered; I went to system tray and increased the speaker from 16 to 26 and now I can hear it better, but after restarting PC, I found JAWS volume on log on screen to high as set on 26, but after signing in, the unchanged set volume was still lower.

I tried experiencing this after upgrading JAWS, but I believe it is a coincidence.

Perhaps I was not able to explain the issue properly, so please feel free to ask me for clarifications.

Thank you in advance,

Gezim

I tried Open Book. Am I going to have trouble with Jaws if I uninstall shared components?

Hello all,

 

Does someone have a list of keyboard commands for Netflix?  I am primarily interested in the playback commands, pause, skip forward, etc., but any others would be much appreciated.

I suppose you could try uninstalling and reinstalling it, removing all of its data files in the process. If you would lose data by doing this, then it's probably an issue for Amazon support. I suspect its configuration or data files have been corrupted, and you may well just have to reinstall.

Hi Les & Takis,


The issue I am having is Kindle initializes and opens and says that there are no books in my library and then closes. It doesn't even let me go in and adjust settings.


Has this even happened to either of you?


Thanks.

Hi Les-all,
Actually, no. I tested it with several books which I could read find with jaws, and now I can no longer, so it must be some sort of setting.

I think it has to do with how the book was formatted. I had a book that worked perfectly with speech and braille. I could use the familiar Jaws commands to navigate the book. I also have a book for a class we are taking that cannot be navigated with speech or braille as you describe. I can use the built-in speech, but it's much more accessible to use the iPhone version for this particular book.
Best,

Les

Hi Robbie,
In my case, it is not crashing, but I can no longer read the text, neither in braille, nor via jaws. This is a new computer as my good one was struck by lightning, so, I just don't know what setting I should check or change. Using windows 10 and jaws 2021.
All the best,
Takis

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays,


I recently downloaded the Kindle Reader for PC and it keeps crashing.
Has any of you had this problem and if so how did you fix it? I am using Windows 10 and JAWS 2020.


All help is greatly appreciated.

So this is what we--I admit, my son--did.

I removed HP Smart application and the scanner / printer from the Printers and Scanners applet. I then went to support.hp.com and instead of using the recommended HP Smart that I used initially I chose 'HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software' under the Software - Utility heading.

This runs for a while and you are presented with options to install HP Smart (Recommended) or Full Driver setup. I chose the latter and now the scanner works with OpenBook as well as with JAWS OCR
