Moderated Jaws touch cursor #advisory


saphirblau2512@...
 

Hey! I have a question about the touch cursor of Jaws. I have a touch screen and I guess thats what the touch cursor is for. The problem is, I can not find a way to activate it. I already tried combinations like Shift+Insert+Caps lock+(+) or Shift+Caps lock+; but for some reason I can't get it to work. Is there a quick gesture to activate it? Do you guys have any experiences with Jaws on a touch screen?
Greetings!

Actually, it is just the opposite.
The touch cursor is for those of us without a touch screen.
So you can use the touch screen.
For those without a touch screen, you activate the touch screen cursor with shift + PC cursor.
Double-tap the PC cursor to turn it off.
Then you can use the arrow keys and the number pad.

Got it.
So what do think is the best work around for touch screens then?
Greetings and thanks for the quick reply.

I have a touch screen on my personal laptop.  Frankly, I just don’t use it.  Nothing says you have to use it, even if it’s available.  Now, the only problem I have and some day I’ll get around to calling Microsoft accessibility on this, is that the touch keyboard will pop-up when I log in some times and I cannot figure a way to get rid of it other than to get to the tiny “x” button  that I can barely see.  The problem with just leaving it on screen is that it’s presence nullifies the Control key.  So, if I’m in Outlook and try to press Control Y to open the go to folder dialog, the control key won’t register. 

 

I’m not sure that there really is a way to use the touch screen with JAWS.  When I used Window Eyes, I could at least hit a button on the screen if I could see it or a sighted assistant was helping  me and wanted to use the touchscreen, but JAWS doesn’t seem to work that way and I havent’ learned the method for using gestures on the screen.  Now I just turn off JAWS if a sighted person is helping me with something and wants to use the touch gestures.
