Guys, I looked at the note, and he spelled it right the second time—probably a typo the spell checker didn’t catch, as it’s a real word. We’ve all had them. Ted

I was intrigued by the assertion that JAWS has problems with high-performance equipment. Can you elaborate on that? Ted

JAWS is touch-screen-enabled. However, unlike most of today’s smart phones, it’s my understanding that they’re not required. In other words, just because you have a touch screen doesn’t mean you must

No need to wonder. Tutor and Message Voice is an option in Voice Adjustment, and is easy to check or change. Ted Ted

I would have thought that disabling the startup feature would remove the line from Msconfig. I've always found that extremely useful. In the old days, I always made sure the screen reader was enabled

What about a template? Set it up the way you want it, then use it to create other spreadsheets. Not sure if this will work, but it’s worth a try. As for the order of data Vs. coordinates, I don’t thin

You’d better believe it. Our worker portal is chock full of both regular and radio buttons. Ted

Radio buttons or other virtual elements have to be present in an app. Otherwise, you get the Find command, as stated. If you hear the phrase “virtual HTML features,” you’re on the right track. You can

Radio buttons are quickly accessible, when available, with JAWS-F3, followed by the letter R. They get quite a workout over here. ted

The program is funny that way. Sometimes I’ve installed or merged a dictionary in a new edition of JAWS, only to find it won’t work until I open it—not alter it, just open it. I think I may have had t

Sorry, I meant Vocalizer. Ted

I have a dandy bible dictionary, if anyone is interested. I don’t have it here at the office, but all I have to do is remember to put it on a thumb drive. It’s the product of several years’ worth of t

He’s absolutely right. In fact, that was how the original OCR package was structured. The PDF conversion did not occur until 16, but it’s become so popular we tend to forget what came before. Ted

Sounds good, but make darn sure you know what you’re unchecking, or have a boot disk handy. JAWS is pretty high on my list last time I looked; I’d have to go in and see what’s ahead of it. Ted

Settings center has a lot of stuff. To go there, press JAWS-F2, hit the letter S three times. Once in, tab over once to get to the tree view, and start cursoring down. In a classic tree view, you just

May I interject? If I understand correctly, what you’re describing is default behavior. There are minor tweaks you can make (for instance the function of the two insert keys), and the type of keyboard

Under Settings center, fifth item down. Each verbosity level can be customized. Once you choose the one you want, tab over and start cursoring down, if you want to tweak. Ted

That usually happens to me after some kind of accident. Windows is busy repairing and reconfiguring itself, after a bad shutdown. Ted

Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. The historic Princeton, NJ organization expanded its services several years ago, combining with an outfit out of Montana, Computerized Books for the Blind. Ted

If you can find it (RFB&D), you owe it to yourself to read the Elements of Style—some of the most productive time I ever spent. It is a small book, packed with goodies. Ted
