On one of the threads, there was a bit of discussion about learning experiences. I thought I'd start a separate thread about structured discovery and assistive technology. From what I know, structured

Conceptual knowledge that helps predict screen reader behavior and support problem solving is great. So I agree that knowing the keyboard handling hierarchy is important. But is there a user-friendly

When I try MathML on Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and I press enter while on the math content, a dialog box opens with a message "An error has occurred in the script on this page.". Is this familiar to a

Does any one know of good references for copying JAWS settings from one computer to a second computer? I have some scripts I want to be sure to have, amongst other settings, sounds, and things.

Hi Nancy, I think the dictionary solution is quite good. I made it have a chime rather than silence. The trick was the entry in the dictionary isn't the word "bullet" but needs to be the symbol •. I g

Mike, There is a bullet there but in the list view, it is labelled U+f0b7. I think that's some kind of unicode. Each item in the list view has the symbol, then a description, and a Spoken column. The

Mike I tried your instructions but I couldn't get it to work. In terms of using the dictionary, that did work. I associated it with a space and a click sound. Keep in mind that you have to enter the b

Is there a way to make JAWS stop announcing "bullet" in lists in HTML or Word documents? Imagine a very long list with short list items. Each time it would say "bullet". I have been searching but am s

In web sites, the size of the browser window can affect the visual interface dramatically. In some pages, a menu bar on a wide screen could get folded into a collapsed button menu on a smaller screen.

I was just introduced to Insert + Escape. This does the following: Repaints all currently displayed items on the screen. However, I don't understand the sort of scenarios where I would use this. Can s

Wow, Joe that's perfect. Thank you.

Is there a command to have JAWS say the contents of the clipboard? A scenario is this. A user is on a webpage that has instructions. A key step is difficult to remember, so they clear their speech his

Has anyone heard stories of the text to speech synthesizer company fixing mispronounced words? I realize there's the JAWS dictionary, but I'm talking about going to the source. One could imagine all s

Who makes the speech synthesizers used by JAWS? And does anyone have stories about how speech synthesizers are made? It's a complete mystery to me, so anything that can stretch my imagination would be

As mentioned, I'm not looking to create separate window user accounts. The scenario I presented is more akin to one family member sitting down to help another family member out and adjusting the JAWS

I'm trying to understand if JAWS has a feature to switch settings quickly for different users. Here's an example. I imagine in homes or environments where there is more than one JAWS user, folks would

I'm glad your response was shared Udo. I hope it gives food for thought. Assuming the goals are to not slow down JAWS users and to ensure JAWS users enjoy the experience, is it possible for software d

I was wondering if JAWS script writers could describe what they do? That's a bit vague. Are you given an application that isn't very accessible, and then somehow have to figure out how to make it bett

Are there opinions on how to write phone numbers and extensions in a way that is user-friendly with JAWS? I can't seem to find a setting in the JAWS setting center that might do conversions.

Congratulations David. I looked through it and wow, it is a huge accomplishment. You cover so much ground. Thank you for making it available. Was your book launch recorded?
