Having the computer remember the password is imho extremely dangerous. Multiple years from now I haven't a clue as to what the password is since it's been so long since I entered it. When I get a new

Hi Brian, No need to fiddle with options or restrictions but you may need to assign a key to a script. First, a commercial: The very best way to read .brf files is by using Cygwin and installing my te

Actually, when you right click the icon, go to Properties, not Preferences. The hot key is probably R. But I'm not sure whether this icon is always on your path no matter where you are in Windows. I'v

Remember that Ctrl+Alt+J will restart Jaws only if you've set it up yourself. It does not come by default with a Jaws installation. The most reliable way to start Jaws is to use Windows+R and then typ

Since the point is to be quick, there's another dodge that can make things easier: Usually the OK button is the default when you press Enter. To check, press Insert+E at any time. If it says Enter is

Does the iPhone use Jaws?

Dan, One can silence either all keystrokes or just specific ones. The way to silence all keyboard echo is to open Settings Center (Insert+6), press Control+Shift+D for the Default settings, tab once t

Another thing that is not widely known is that, according to a message from Ted Henter I read a few lifetimes ago, both he and Eric Damery had to mortgage their homes to keep the company going. Let's

Farfar is correct; I was dead wrong. I checked with folks who run the beta testers program. It even got referred all the way up to Eric Damery. His response: "I agree with Farfar." I can't say I appre

Hi Adrian, The advice to make a copy of one's scripts is excellent. No need to throw out babies, simply observe sensible filing practices. But I'm bemused by people's comments about the Merge utility.

Hi Soronel, On my system under Jaws I have: 13.0 14.0 15.0 I do not have, for example, 14.0.6005 14.0.9002 etc. and I bet you don't either. This has nothing to do with going from a beta to a release.

Farfar said: ----- Lee, Never heard of anything so crazy as this. I never remove that folder, and any new installation of JAWS with the same major revision (i.e. 14, 15, etc.) will use the same script

Hi folks, At the behest of a friend I waded through my deleted messages folder on the subject of 14.0.9002. I was shocked and distressed at all the problems people have had. Whenever I hear of anyone

In my limited experience the best ssh client is OpenSSH that's included in Cygwin. I'm partially deaf though and work with speech turned off almost all the time, so I can't say how well this setup wor

Note that hymns = hims.

Long years ago they used to offer two modes of demo: 40-minutes per session without an expiration date, and unlimited time per session with an expiration date. That one included all hardcopy documenta

It certainly is not a bug! It comes in rather handy for those of us who run with speech turned off. In very old versions of Jaws and some other devices it used to be called Speech Box Mode. Phil's des

Jacob, Are you saying the CD is not obsolete or is this just a general rule of thumb? Do you have experience with the BC6's CD?

Hi all, Is anybody using an Alva BC6 with Jaws 14? When I plug mine in I think I get a message on the screen giving some kind of an error message (I have hearing loss and can't tell for sure). It says

Hi folks, Perhaps a "heads up." My hands are getting shaky as I get older, so I decided to go to the Ease of Access Center to turn on Filter Keys. I was tabbing around among the buttons, turned on fil
