it took a bright young man named wil pearson to solve atough question, or rather I should say explain why eric's suggestions could not work, and another person named Bryan carver director of technical support say why it would not and could notb e fixed,but it took a long time to get any answer, a director called Lee Hamilton listened to me ran tests and in the end Bryan carver telephoned me so do not be afraid to go to the top, mind you it took persistance, and you will not be popular for doing it thanks dorothy! , and you may not be populare -----Original Message-----

Eric Damery is not blind. He is sighted. Having said that, unlike so many sighted people who attempt to train visually impaired people to use JAWS, Eric knows as nuch, if not more about JAWS than anyone, plus, he can use JAWS without a monitor. I have seen Eric, walk into a room where there are a number of peple using JAWS, assess what they are doing and, within a few seconds, even though there are no monitores turned on, he can tell which of them are having problems and what they are. I have been at demonstrations of JAWS, where Eric has stood or sat along side or behind the monitor, and not been able to see what the monitor is displaying, yet, giving an excellent demonstration on how to use JAWS. Several years ago, during a visit to the UK, I met someone there who is sighted and who claimed to be able to train visually impaired people to use JAWS. I asked them, if they could use JAWS in the same way that a person who has no sight at all or who has limited vision would have to do, that is without a monitor. When this person said that they could not, I said that, in my opinion, they were not qualified to teach JAWS to any visually impaired person, because they had not even made the attempt to try and use a computer without a monitor. I went on to say that they might be able to teach the commands but, unless they could use JAWS in the same way as a user of JAWS would have to do, they had no street credibility and, to use an American saying, "nice try, but no cigar". I pointed out that what they were doing was no different, than a person who had no sight at all and, with no experience, attempting to teach someone who had sight to drive a car.

This "now it work and now it doesn't" puts a huge strain on people in the workplace and the workplace is tough enough as it is. If it worked in one version and not in the next FS should be clear about what they are doing. Are they supporting this or they not. If they are not going to support a product they should be up front about and announce it publicly not just jerk every one around. I have been a long time user of jaws and I actually like the product I just think SF needs to adjust their attitude and priorities. Tom Bisset -----Original Message-----

I for one would much rather FS focus on getting JAWS more stable with critical applications than to further do repairs on ResearchIt capability to harvest sports scores. I have written to FS Support on a number of occasions on bugs that have cropped up in various versions of JAWS, most notably in JAWS 12 where the update after 12.0.525 caused Excel 2007 to crash. I reported this and the "fix" did not work at all. I've continued to stick with 12.0.525 as a result so I can get my work done. Further I've pointed out that the implementation of the virtual ribbon in Excel, Word, and Outlook is flawed and inconsistent w/r the QAT. In Excel the QAT works differently in virtual ribbon mode than with Outlook and Word. Moreover a few key Excel JAWS shortcuts were removed (intentionally? accidentally?) from the .JKM file in version 12 so that I could no longer read the top 4 column cells. Those keystrokes were given over to the QAT, I believed. I had to copy the script functions from a JAWS 11 .JSS filed and paste into the JAWS 12 file and recompile, and then reassign the Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, 3, and 4 keys. That type of work should not have been necessary for the end user to do. I am so imbued with the strength of using the QAT that I keep the virtual ribbon turned off now. I continue to improve on using the ribbon and only turn on VR when I just can't find a function. Then it's off again. I think FS needs to take a long look with a wide perspective, on the Office applications, the QAT, and the VR to come up with a consistent approach to having them all work together, and all work the same.
