What I find the easiest way is to tap the Windows key, and type "change system" and change system sound should show up so you can just hit enter. Then tab over to the list of program events and arrow

How do I get to the sound scheme settings?

Jaws won't tell you unless someone has written a script, but Windows can alert you if you go in the sound scheme settings, and make sure a sound file that you can actually hear is connected to the app

My laptop was produced in June of 2019

I'm not sure about jaws specifically (I only use NVDA on my laptop) but Windows should tell you when your battery is low. It may not give you a *huge* amount of time/warning. Mine doesn't -- it's an o

Hi all, I've decided that I should start using my laptop unplugged and only charge it when I'm not using it, and well I know how to check the battery power I'm wondering will Jaws tell me when my batt

This sounds like another among many very badly designed forms. A correctly designed form should announce the field (and its type, e.g. checkbox) when you land in it, and in a way that's descriptive en

Oh actually I hit enter and I seemed to be able to type, but when I hit down arrow, Jaws wouldn’t read the other fields.

Hi, I have a document that I have to sign and fill out in Word. When I navigate with Jaws 2019, I hear Participant’s name, rich text field. Click or tap to enter text. Do I just hit enter? Also how do

Hi Sieghard, Yes, that's why I stated that it might depend on the version of Word. I have Word 2010 on my Windows 7 computer and access several of the options just by highlighting the status bar but,

I just updated FireFox and did a search from duckduckgo.com, my default page, for Price of Tea in China, and got good results that the latest version of Jaws 2021 read just fine. I do not use google.

Hello, I have had the same issue happen with both 2020 and 2021. I can initially navigate to a page, however, in the instance of Google, or another website that I am testing, when I enter text into a

I am using both Google Chrome and MS Edge successfully with JAWS 2019 and Windows 7. And while it is true that Windows 7 is somewhat vulnerable because it is no longer being supported, MSE database de

Well it would help if you told us what version of JAWS your running. I'm assuming your running the current version which is 86?

Hi everyone, I have a question as I have not used Firefox in several weeks. There was an update this morning for Firefox, and since then JAWS is not reading pages properly, in fact, with the exception

Google Chrome definitely works on Windows 7 systems as long as you have a fairly recent version of Jaws and I am almost certain that you can also install Edge on a Windows 7 system. Of course it is no

Thank you very much for this Sieghard. Once my sleepy brain hit 5 on the number row instead of 5 on the number pad, it works perfectly, of course. That should help the original asker of the question t
