Hi folks, With the laptop keyboard layout you can use either the insert key or the caps lock key as the Jaws key--whichever is most convenient. I'm on a desktop computer but selected the laptop layout

Good for you, Dale! So it's not just me. Thanks. Now we need to see what's common between our systems. I'm on Windows 7 and Jaws 16. How about you? Note that I've left this on the list in hopes others

Hi, I didn't get any response at all. Does this mean Wiktionary is working for everybody but me? Thanks,

Hi folks, If this has been covered in another thread please accept my apologies. I haven't been reading messages with generic titles like "a couple things" (not a real title recently). Using Research

As a former Linux user and fan of Linux, I wouldn't bother switching if I were you. The learning curve is very steep and the advantages very slight. But if you want to check it out more find an instru

Of course you can! I'm old and haven't kept up with changes in Jaws but the steps are very roughly something like this: 1. Run Thunderbird and, just for luck, focus on the menu where you'd get new mai

Hi, Jaws does have an auto advance facility. To find it: First, look in Jaws Help to see if there's already something configured for your display. If there isn't: 1. Start the Jaws keyboard manager. 2

Hi folks, I'm on Jaws 16 but think there was an update for 18 this week. Did they put in a fix for the weather lookup in Research It? Thanks,

Vaughan, Add dot 7 to the letter you want to capitalize. What was your former screen reader? I remember your name from awhile ago. Have fun,

I think we're talking about the same thing, when you use Insert+J to go to the Jaws window and then Alt+H to go to the Jaws help system. Most "books" in there are closed by default; you can open them

Hi Lynne, Have you checked the Jaws 16 help facility? I'm pretty sure there's stuff in there that will be of some use. If it doesn't meet your needs just holler. Good luck,

Control Panel has had Dvorak left-handed keyboards in it for years. I use the two-handed Dvorak keyboard all the time and have even come up with a file to make Jaws commands Dvorak compliant. The exac

What happens if you check the box that says "Always read this block aloud" or something similar? I use Braille so don't want any speech usually but if Jaws Braille won't work it'd be nice to automate

Long years ago in another life I installed something, another screen reader I think, that redefined a key I needed for something or other. Since I never used that screen reader I was puzzled when my s

WRT: With Regard To.

WRT the dots that don't come up: If you're connecting via USB try disconnecting for at least half a minute, with the display turned off. Then plug it in again and if you're excruciatingly lucky they m

Hmm. I can't find it either. Perhaps it was in another Braille program (BRLTTY) which can be used in NVDA. But I don't have NVDA running so that's just a guess. Best thing to do is get the cotton pick

Hi Brent, Taking your questions in more-or-less reverse order, you should be able to use any USB cable that fits, but the best thing to do is take the cable you have to the store so they can see exact

You folks are Cambodian? I was going to ask if you're related to Yoonshin Song, the concertmaster of the Detroit Symphony, but since she's Korean you're probably not.

Note that OK is often the default button. When you've done your thing, press Insert+E and Jaws will tell you if it knows what will happen if you press Enter. This frequently saves some tabbing to the
