Moderated Jaws not speaking while typing in notepad but does in Word


Diana Brent
 

If Word works, why not open you txt files in Word. Find the file in File Explorer, press Shift+F10, h, or arrow down and  chose Open with, and choose word. If you want to keep the file as txt you can use f12 and save as a text file. It's a bit of a work-around, but it might solve your problem.

Hi Karen,

 

Here's 2 other ways to access the ENU folder.  I'm pointing out these 2 ways in case your AppData folder is hidden in your UserName folder.

#1:

Press, Windows key + R, to open the Run dialog and type, appdata, and press enter.

 

In the appdata folder navigate to the Roaming subfolder and press enter to open.

 

Navigate to the, Freedom Scientific, subfolder and press enter.  Navigate to Jaws press enter, navigate to the version of Jawsyou want to access , press enter, press spacebar on, Settings, to select it and press enter, and now You'll be in another list, so in this list find the, ENU, folder.  Now you can simply copy and paste this folder somewhere but, change the name to reflect what Jaws version it is, ENU23, or something like that.

 

#2:

Open the Jaws context menu, with the keystroke, Insert + J, press the letter, U , to open the, submenu Utilities folder, navigate to the, Explore Utilities Folder,  press enter then, navigate to, Explore My Settings , and this folder holds everything in the ENU folder.  So you can select everything in this folder, copy it to the clipboard, create a new folder and name it ENU2023, and paste everything from the clipboard into it and you'll have an ENU backup doing it this way as well.

 

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

The Jaws Settings folder is at this path on my win10 desktop:

C:\Users\hp envy\AppData\Roaming\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2023\Settings\enu


An alternate way to find is through %appdata%

from the run dialog, type  "%appdata%" without the quote marks:


you'll see a listing for all the programs that have such data files. 

typing the letter "f" will get you to Freedom Scientific; and so forth.

My ENU folder has over 200 files; so, it's jampacked with stuff.
There are a bunch of JAWS scripts, including those I have for Leasey, place
marker files, et al.

Personally, I try backing it up every week or 2 and keep 2 back-ups on file.
I'm far more comfortable playing around with JAWS  settings when I have
back-ups just in case I either mess things up, something goes haywire as it
did for Karen, or I decide later that some changes are best undone.

And I like back-ups for some other programs/apps that are under %appdata%.

From what I understand, you can also get to the settings folder through
Jaws' Utilities menu.

I'm guessing that a knowledgable user might be able to make repairs by
replacing specific files in that folder.

Hi Mike,

Thanks. I just went and removed it.

Hi Mike,

I did but it added short cut to the end of the name, so I used shift f10 to rename it and remove it. Does it have to have the .exe in the name?

It is a program which is included with Jaws and is very similar to Word Pad
but with the spell checker. I have used it for years and love it. Go to Go
to This PC/program files/freedom scientific/jaws/ 2023 (or whatever version
you are using) and find hjpad.exe I then put a shortcut on the desktop.

When I read frustrating experiences such as yours -- and we've all been
there -- it reminds me of why I like backing up things.
In this case, Jaws' enu file.
Learned that last year from Brian Hartgen's Jaws Muscles course.
He prefers backing that up over Jaws' setting back up which isn't complete
in what it keeps.



























Mike Pietruk
 

Personally, when I save a back-up file or folder, I also tend to include a
date either today's date or the date the file was created.
As an example, if I were tonight to save the ENU folder from Jaws 2023, my
saved file name might be:

enu2023 230120

The bottom line is to do whatever works for you and maybe even where you
end up storing it.
The key is being able to find it when needed either for use or deletion
when you replace it with a newer back up.


Mike Pietruk
 

Karen

A short cut's name can be whatever you want it to be.
I sometimes like to place a number or symbol before a name making it
easier to find with a single keystroke.
In fact, it doesn't have to even relate to the name of the program or
file.
What's inside the short cut is what matters; not its name.

When I read frustrating experiences such as yours -- and we've all been
there -- it reminds me of why I like backing up things.
In this case, Jaws' enu file.
Learned that last year from Brian Hartgen's Jaws Muscles course.
He prefers backing that up over Jaws' setting back up which isn't complete
in what it keeps.

That's the program, Karen.

And, in a few minutes, I'll get you the answer on the path for the ENU
folder;
btw, ENU = English North America.

Thanks for the hjpad.exe suggestion as an alternate text editor.
I'll keep that in mind.
I've been using Jamal Mazrui's Edsharp which has been around for longer
than I can remember. l
Amazingly, it still works in modern Windows system and is very blind
friendly as it should be as it was written by a
blind programmer.



And looking in the ENU folder, there seems to be a script included for

HJPAD.

What I found was hj pad.exe. Is this it?

It is a program which is included with Jaws and is very similar to Word Pad
but with the spell checker. I have used it for years and love it. Go to Go
to This PC/program files/freedom scientific/jaws/ 2023 (or whatever version
you are using) and find hjpad.exe I then put a shortcut on the desktop.

I know this is not a solution for Notepad, but why not use HJ Pad to take
your notes. You can save in TXT or RTF file format and it has a spell
checker and some very simple format settings. I personally seldom use
Notepad.

Thanks. That's my next step if it shows up again.

I would certainly try Stevens suggestions. If you still have issues, you
could rerun the jaws set up, and repair jaws.
