In web sites, the size of the browser window can affect the visual interface dramatically. In some pages, a menu bar on a wide screen could get folded into a collapsed button menu on a smaller screen.

I was just introduced to Insert + Escape. This does the following: Repaints all currently displayed items on the screen. However, I don't understand the sort of scenarios where I would use this. Can s

Wow, Joe that's perfect. Thank you.

Is there a command to have JAWS say the contents of the clipboard? A scenario is this. A user is on a webpage that has instructions. A key step is difficult to remember, so they clear their speech his

Has anyone heard stories of the text to speech synthesizer company fixing mispronounced words? I realize there's the JAWS dictionary, but I'm talking about going to the source. One could imagine all s

Who makes the speech synthesizers used by JAWS? And does anyone have stories about how speech synthesizers are made? It's a complete mystery to me, so anything that can stretch my imagination would be

As mentioned, I'm not looking to create separate window user accounts. The scenario I presented is more akin to one family member sitting down to help another family member out and adjusting the JAWS

I'm trying to understand if JAWS has a feature to switch settings quickly for different users. Here's an example. I imagine in homes or environments where there is more than one JAWS user, folks would

I'm glad your response was shared Udo. I hope it gives food for thought. Assuming the goals are to not slow down JAWS users and to ensure JAWS users enjoy the experience, is it possible for software d

I was wondering if JAWS script writers could describe what they do? That's a bit vague. Are you given an application that isn't very accessible, and then somehow have to figure out how to make it bett

Are there opinions on how to write phone numbers and extensions in a way that is user-friendly with JAWS? I can't seem to find a setting in the JAWS setting center that might do conversions.

Congratulations David. I looked through it and wow, it is a huge accomplishment. You cover so much ground. Thank you for making it available. Was your book launch recorded?

It's not only websites that using headings. ePub is a format for electronic books and I would hope and imagine publishers follow the heading structure better since books lend themselves to obvious nes

Hi David, I read your book on JAWS and NVDA in Word. It's very helpful. That's interesting that you use the heading list a lot for Word but not the web. What do you think is the reason? Do you use alt

Oh, yes, I guess a user could just use 1 through 6 in the document to get the functionality in the JAWS heading list dialog box. Sigh. I'm back to leaning to NVDA's use of the tree view in the dialog

I tested the theory. If the virtual pc cursor is not in any region, then there's no mention of a level. But if you move into the first region, JAWS + T will say you are in level 2. If you go into a su

I think that NDVA's representation of the heading structures as a tree view reflects the nested structure of headings better than JAWS. JAWS uses a tree view in the regions dialog. Tree views also all

When we bring up a dialog with the list headings with JAWS, via JAWS + F6, the headings are presented in a linear list view. It's possible to use radio buttons to filter just to a particular heading l

I was wondering what are people's strategies for getting your orientation in an application? I use JAWS + Q for the application name. JAWS + T for the window. F6 until I find a cycle. Then tab within

In help mode, when I press JAWS + t, and double tap it, I get this: JAWSKey+T Says the title of the active window within an application or the application title itself. Says the application title, dia
