Hi all. Should I be able to connect to someone's computer, using JAWS tandem, if they are running the 40-minute demo version of JAWS? I just tried doing this, and was not successful. I gave them the m

Thanks, that helps a little, but is not as elegant as the j/k trick for moving through my own news feed. But, yeah. I can turn on the virtual PC cursor, then H until I get to "News Feed". Once there,

The JAWS Basics of Scripting Manual is located here: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Content/Documents/Other/ScriptManual/01-0_I ntroduction.htm I found a reference to this in the JAWS help topics, u

As others have noted, I think the repetitive title reading is within the realm of acceptable behavior and probably not a bug. Honestly, I can't recall the last time I visited a web page and actually w

Hi all. A few days ago, there was some discussion on learning JAWS scripting. I've started learning it myself, and wanted to post some thoughts. First, I've decided to blog about JSL as I learn it. My

Thanks, Mario. I like your idea of a sort of, "let's learn how to program - using JAWS scripting". It makes a lot of sense to teach basic programming, using JSL as an example. The idea has a lot of me

Try this: 1. Hit the Windows key, then open All Programs. 2. Arrow down (or use 1st key nav) until you hear "JAWS 16.0 closed". Right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down until you hear "Explore JAWS closed".

There are 3 reasons to add a script as a user setting (instead of a shared setting), at least 3 that I can think of. 1. If you have more than one user on your computer and they all want different scri

It sounds like you are writing a program in C or C++ and I'm guessing it is what Visual Studio calls a "console application". If that assumption is correct, then when you run the program, it opens a c

I'll start by saying I don't know of any off-the-shelf graphing solutions for visually impaired users. So everything that follows is sort of "what if" hypothetical stuff, just thinking out loud. Prese

I do SHIFT + TAB back to the From field. Once I get there, I hit the application menu and select the "add sender to outlook contacts" option. It works, but it'd be nice if there was a better way. I im

Those are good clarifications, thanks for posting them. Regarding a more accessible compiler, one option would be to use the Cygwin package, which provides gcc, gdb, and make: command-line compilers,

Cool, neat trick. Thanks for posting it. BTW, I just went through the keyboard manager for Outlook 2010 and didn't see a hotkey for adding sender to contacts, so I don't think there is a way to do thi

Just to confirm, this works for me. The steps are as follows: 1. While in the list of messages (in your inbox or some other folder), arrow down to the message that you'd like to add contact info from.

It appears that SHIFT + CONTEXT MENU opens a context menu that contains a superset of the functionality available from a plain CONTEXT MENU. That is to say, SHIFT + CONTEXT MENU gives you all the func

Hi all. Is there a quick way to get JAWS to read the location (i.e., library name or filesystem path) while in a "File Save" dialog? Some apps use the "Documents" library as the default. Other apps ha

Steve: THANK YOU! Excellent post and very helpful. I see the same behavior that you describe, while playing with this in Word 2010. ALT+N takes you to the file name field, except when focus is in the

Follow the link in the original post, it takes you to a web page. Then tab to the FS Cast 113 link, and use the application context menu. There's an option to "save target as". That will download the
