Hello Prehistoric Judith, <grin> Sticky keys means you can press a modifier key, such as shift, control, alt (I think those are the only ones), and then a regular key and it'll come out modified. For

Hi David and all, Unfortunately Jaws does not move its keys around to match the Dvorak layout being used, so you have to keep straight in your mind whether, for example, Insert+T refers to the Dvorak

I haven't tried this so take it with a couple salt shakers. <grin> But I think: 1. In Settings Center, pointing to the default settings, the first category is "User". In this is a check box, unchecked

This is strange. I'm testing in Keyboard Manager, pointing it at the default key table. When the Jaws cursor is active, BrailleToggle8PixelsPerSpace (hereafter called the Toggle script) does collapse

Hi Phil, I just tried it and it works fine for me. Does speech say "line up text" (sic) and "as on screen"? Perhaps you assigned the key to one keyboard table but are testing it with another. You prob

Hi Phil, The thing about the BrailleSetUnlimitedPixelsPerSpace script is that it's one-way. You push the key and it sets it to unlimited (actually 999) pixels per space, but the only way to turn that

Using Keyboard Manager, locate and, if necessary, assign a key to the script: BrailleToggle8PixelsPerSpace

Hi Nikhil, I have a couple guesses as to why Jaws doesn't see the cursor movements fast enough. They could be dead wrong of course... Linux cursors generally don't blink. But Jaws uses cursor blink as

Hi Kimber, Once I looked for Windows 7 training materials on the Internet. I don't remember the search method or term--perhaps Google and "Windows 7 training" but that's just a guess. I found several

Hi folks, One thing that is, imho, a serious weakness in the Jaws update process is that you have to destroy and recreate the personal settings for each update. Skipping this step can cause problems w

When did this start happening? Is it recent or longstanding? In case it started with the newest update to Jaws, it's very important (and very easy to overlook) to destroy your personal Jaws scripts fo

One thing I noticed is that there seems to be some kind of invisible EOF at the end of default.jss. I added my scripts to the end of the file like always but they wouldn't show up in Keyboard Manager

I'm puzzled by the Microsoft keyboard not working. It requires a special driver but when you plugged it in it should have been recognized as new hardware and installed the driver automatically. At lea

What you want is not a telephone keypad. As far as I, too, know, it doesn't exist. K1000 has a telephone keypad setting but that's not what's needed here. Good luck with the startup wizard. What I had

The debate over residential v. non-residential schools is a very old one, Richard, and there's no way your message can offend anybody. What's a brake display? Have fun,

While we're ruminating about ancient history it might not be amiss to remark on the terrible stupidity often evidenced by blind people raised on speech. It's downright embarrassing sometimes. I even h

You don't. you write your paper in braille first, then when it's ready you type it for the teacher. (SIGH! Modern kids are SO soft! <grin> ) Back in the mid-fifties nobody had talking appliances, refr

Hi Ted, If you know how to use Unix systems you can use pdftohtml under Cygwin. Cygwin is a very nice Unix (mostly Linux) environment that runs under Windows. It's significantly slower than real Linux

Aren't they teaching that anymore? I guess that does leave four years when I turned in my assignments in braille...

Hi folks, I know I'm getting old but this is ridiculous. Two posts in a row with mysterious secret hieroglyphs: CMS, EDI ... What do these here thing signify to the cognoscenti? <grin> Thanks for your
