Is this picture smart a function of jaws or is it jaws accessing a
Windows 10 application? In other words do you need Jaws to get the
results that picture smart provides?

I ask again, sort of, how do we know a write task is done without sight?

I actually seldom use anything on the drive itself as far as thumb drives or SD cards go to determine whether a task is finished writing.  Virtually anything where I'm copying, saving, etc., to a drive (be it a HDD or thumb/SD) gives a status that it's done.   Saving something like a word file, unless it were to be a multi-thousand page tome, is always over before you could even move your hand to pull the plug.

I'm not telling anyone that they should not use Eject if they so choose.  But what I am saying is that if you are confident that there is no write activity currently in process for a USB connected storage device that using Eject gains you nothing.  Some will always use it just for the comfort factor, and that's fine.   Just don't panic if you have to pull a drive without being able to do so that you know was not being written to at the time.

Hi Rick,
Try this.
On any jpg file, press Alt space,
Then P. Jaws will say "Picture smart.
Then press F.
Hope this helps.

Hello,

I do not post much but I must state that I do gain a lot of useful information by all participating. I thank you for sharing your knowledge. However, this picture recognition new addition to the latest version of Jaws 2019, I am not able to use this for it simply is not working.

I go to windows explorer and make my way to my photos folder.
I arrow down to a photo
I then hit alt +spacebar and then the f key.
I am sent to the menu bar, files icon where you would choose to close, open etc. a new folder or document.

I ask, what do I need to do to activate this properly?

Thank you all,

Rick

Hi Don/all,
You simply need to type the letter f thereafter to start the process of recognition.
Kindest regards,

Running latest version of Jaws on a win 10 system. I go to file explorer and hightlight a .jpg file of a receipt. I hit insert space bar followed by the letter p and nothing happens to read the image.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the command for Drag and Drop
(CONTROL plus JAWS Key plus NumPad slash has been removed from JAWS Version
2019.1903.9. The command is still listed, though, in the help file, and in
the Command Search (JAWS Key plus SPACE, followed by J.)

Hi!



I am wondering about the level of accessibility of 1) putting up a blog on
wordpress.com directly versus 2) having Wordpress installed onto a hosted
site and blogging their? To illustrate this difference, in the first case,
the URL would be something like "myblog.wordpress.com." In the second
case,
the URL would be something like "myblog.com." That URL difference does
not,
per say, have anything to do with the accessibility of the website as far
as
using Wordpress to blog. It just illustrates the difference between the
two
approaches. On the one hand, going directly to wordpress.com is free
whereas the hosted site would involve some minor fees; but that is not
critical here. The hosted site (e.g., bluehost.com) is professionally
managed, is itself decently accessible and has great customer service.
And,
the hosted site has "one click" installation of Wordpress scripts and also
keeps that installation constantly up to date. I do like the simplicity of
having a clean URL like myblog.com as I would have with the hosted site,
though. So, the central question here is if there is much of an
accessibility difference between these two different approaches?



Thanks,

Richard

Hi!

 

I need a recommendation for a good, robust and hopefully accessible printer.  It must be a multi-function printer (print, copy, scan).  It must be able to handle letter and legal size paper.  It must have an automatic document feeder.  It should be able to print on two sides.  About the accessibility, it is OK if that is accomplished via its software interface.  My very excellent, 15 year-old Canon MFC 6550 is nearing its end, sadly.

 

Thanks,

Richard
