Hi,

I’ve noticed that not only does Jaws not speak while I type in notepad, but when it does type it is slow, sometimes missing letters. In Word everything works normally. The change that has occurred since this began is that I upgraded to the latest version of Windows 11. I’m running the latest version of Jaws as well. Ideas of what can be causing Jaws not only not to speak words as I type them as it is set to do with everything, and does in everything else, but it is very slow when I up arrow a line to actually read that line I have typed.

 

Please don’t tell me the solution is to use Word, as I like to use txt files in notepad to strip all the extra stuff out.

 

Karen

 

Hi Karen,

When was the last time you rebooted your computer?

Do you also have the same problem while typing in wordpad?


Thanks,

TJ

Have you maximised the screen?

Try unloading and re-loading JAWS?

The reason I asked if you are having the same trouble in Wordpad, was to try to see if Notepad was the only program you are having the problem with.

If you are able to use other programs with no problem, but only having the trouble with Notepad, it may be a problem with Notepad.

If you are having the same problem with other programs, it may not be a problem with Notepad.

The only issue I’ve seen for other programs is Outlook. It is not as bad there, and only happens when it seems that my laptop is doing something in the background. I can tell it is because the fans spin up and are loud and everything slows down. Outlook works normal when this is not going on. This other issue is specific, or seems to be, with Notepad and only since my upgrade to Windows 11. I’ve changed the font from a fixed one to a proportional one and hopefully that will do it. Guess we will see. The only other change I’ve seen between Windows 10 and 11 for notepad is that when I open notepad it reads “notepad” then “text editor”. It never read the “text editor” in Windows 10.

Hi,

I’ve noticed that not only does Jaws not speak while I type in notepad, but when it does type it is slow, sometimes missing letters. In Word everything works normally. The change that has occurred since this began is that I upgraded to the latest version of Windows 11. I’m running the latest version of Jaws as well. Ideas of what can be causing Jaws not only not to speak words as I type them as it is set to do with everything, and does in everything else, but it is very slow when I up arrow a line to actually read that line I have typed.

 

Please don’t tell me the solution is to use Word, as I like to use txt files in notepad to strip all the extra stuff out.

I set it to words because that is what I like. Are you saying I have to set it to characters for Jaws to read anything there while I’m typing in a txt file?

Hi Karen,

When you say:

"I did that. It is the same as what I set it to-words and highlighted."

are you saying that you have previously made that setting
or
you have followed the directions given to you by HH

Thanks,

TJ

I did that. It is the same as what I set it to-words and highlighted.

Hi karen,

 

Open notepad

Press Insert + F2)

Arrow down to setting center, hit enter

Type ‘echo’ in search field, then tab once

Echo setting for Notepad will be listed

Arrow through, the spacebar changes the options

The very first one should say, ‘characters’

Hi Karen,

 

Have you checked the setting center particularly pertaining to Notepad.

The only issue I’ve seen for other programs is Outlook. It is not as bad there, and only happens when it seems that my laptop is doing something in the background. I can tell it is because the fans spin up and are loud and everything slows down. Outlook works normal when this is not going on. This other issue is specific, or seems to be, with Notepad and only since my upgrade to Windows 11. I’ve changed the font from a fixed one to a proportional one and hopefully that will do it. Guess we will see. The only other change I’ve seen between Windows 10 and 11 for notepad is that when I open notepad it reads “notepad” then “text editor”. It never read the “text editor” in Windows 10.

The reason I asked if you are having the same trouble in Wordpad, was to try to see if Notepad was the only program you are having the problem with.

If you are able to use other programs with no problem, but only having the trouble with Notepad, it may be a problem with Notepad.

If you are having the same problem with other programs, it may not be a problem with Notepad.

Hi TJ,

It’s a laptop, so it gets rebooted regularly.

 

And no, I’ve not used wordpad.

Hi Karen,

When was the last time you rebooted your computer?

Do you also have the same problem while typing in wordpad?


Thanks,

Karen,

I am not saying anything of the sort.

What I am trying to determine , is if you were making changes in the Jaws setting center,
before or after you started having trouble with Jaws speaking in Notepad

Thanks,

TJ
