Moderated how to get Jaws to read youtube subtitles

JM Casey
Hello. I don’t think there is a *specific* setting, however I do feel it ought to be possible to configure jaws to monitor the small space where the subtitles appear and report changes. I feel like this is something I used to know how to do, even, but as I haven’t thought of such a thing in a while I’ve forgotten how. It still may not be the best solution for subtitles, but then, I don’t think any single solution is, really – certainly my own method of getting the data in a text file and reading along with a disconnected braille display isn’t totally ideal, but at least that way, I get everything. Obviously this works best for movies with soft-coded subs.

You might want to ask the Sparrow about why this is happening. There might be a setting in Jaws somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable of it. From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> on behalf of JM Casey <jmcasey@...>

I generally rpefer reading subtitles on a braille display at my own pace, but I also generally watch youtube videos when I'm not at the computer. -----Original Message-----

They are on, but its just a bit of a line in the window, can't really
read it that way, no way to scroll. On Mon, 03 Oct 2022 14:56:32 -0400, Zel Iscel wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici@... |

There should be a button in youtube to turn subtitles on and off. -----Original Message-----
