folders changing order
heather albright
Hello, I always have all my folders in list view and they are always ascending. However, my folders keep changing to descending so, I have to keep changing it back. This just starting happening today. I checked my folder options but, they all appear to be correct. So why do my folders keep changing the ascending to descending? Thanks Heather

Re: how do I uninstall jaws from my windows 10 laptop?
Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.
Keith, you probably DO NOT NEED to uninstall Jaws to test out NVDA. If Jaws
starts automatically for you, how about turning that off so that Jaws DOES NOT start at all? Thereafter, you can launch NVDA and test out the issue you described. Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado

Re: voice recording apps for IPhone

I am not sure about Backpack Studio but I know Hokusai Editor and Ferrite and multitrack record. As to your original question Enes, I think iOS devices all record in mono pretty much no matter what, and no app will really get around that. I think it's just a system wide thing that is not changeable. Yes, newer iOS devices have an extra mic if I'm right, but I don't think voice recorders really use it and i'm not entirely sure what it's for.

braille embosser users email list?
Josh Kennedy <joshknnd1982@...>
Hi, I’m on this list for the orbit reader of course because I have two of them, one as a backup in case the other needs repaired. So anyway I also have an irie-at or viewPlus braille buddy embosser. I would like to know if there is an email list for braille embosser users? Like a general braille embosser users list or something for support and tips of all kinds of embossers? I sometimes use the braille buddy to emboss pictures and small documents. But I have to admit I use my orbit readers a lot more than the small embosser. When I bought the embosser, I just got it with no addons, no warranty just the embosser that is it because I got a repair quote and they said it would cost around the price of a perkins brailler repair anyway. Besides it just stays in one place on my desk. Just seems like for me if I want braille from my computer, unless I absolutely have to see formatting or some picture or a chart… It’s so much more convenient and faster to hook up a braille display then I get all the braille I want instantly. I did have an issue come up with the embosser where it refused to update to the latest tiger software suite so I had to download a fresh copy and install it overtop of the one already installed and activate it online. Then all was good to go. But if there is a support list for viewPlus embossers that anyone knows of that would be great. I find sometimes I have formatting issues. I’ll go to emboss something and the word-wrapping is wrong or formatting of the braille document is not what I expected.

Hi.
I haven't tried it in at least 10 years, back then it worked great but it was just a web dav storage location so it just integrated directly with Explorer. Can't really think it would be worth the bother over other options like One Drive. Also it's only got two s's, Asus Web Storage, in case anyone else knows what it is but the way it sounded threw them off.

Hi.

No it can't, it also can't do stereo recording although it can make your recording have stereo effects. This is the main problem I have with it. It does an exceptional job and I wanted to use it, but once I figured out that I had just made a bunch of recordings that actually didn't have any stereo imaging of the source I said screw that. There is another accessible audio editor called audiorecorder. It has lots of things it can do but multitrack isn't one of them.

JAWS2022 Beta Download Link + Much More
Mike B. <mb69mach1@...>
Hi All,
Okay, below is the Beta download link, the
link to the FSCast that provides demonstrations of the new and exciting features
in this release, and a direct link to the Beta report form to be used to
report any bugs in this release, plus what's new in JAWS2022.
Download link:
• FSCast web page, provides demonstrations of
the new and exciting features in the upcoming 2022 release.
• Beta Report Form
New Features in 2022
New Features Added in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion 2022 Automatic Settings Import from Previous Releases When upgrading to a new version of JAWS, any
custom settings from a previous release are now automatically imported. This
includes features such as speech
and braille display settings, custom scripts, dictionary entries, labeled graphics, and any custom settings you created for applications. Unlike previous releases, the migration process is now silent (no messages or dialog boxes appear) and begins the first time you start the new version. Custom settings older than the two previous versions will not be imported. If the import is successful, you will only be prompted to configure JAWS startup options. New Option to Restore Factory
Settings
Use the Restore to factory settings item,
located in the Options menu of the main JAWS application window, to clear all
custom settings that were imported
from a previous release or manually configured. Once all settings are removed, JAWS restarts as if it was a brand new installation. Sound Splitter
Earlier in JAWS and Fusion 2021, we introduced
a way for users to lower the volume of JAWS speech independently of system audio
to help make it easier
to hear audio from other applications. Version 2022 takes this a step further by now allowing those using stereo headsets or speakers to route all JAWS or Fusion speech to one ear while routing audio from the current application to the other ear. This helps make it easier to continue getting work done with JAWS while following along during a Zoom or Teams meeting, a Skype call, or a YouTube video. To split audio:
list of 3 items
1. Make sure focus is in the application that will be playing audio, such as Teams. 2. Press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by V to activate the Volume layer. 3. Press B for Balance, and then do one of the following: list of 3 items nesting level 1 ◦ Press LEFT ARROW to route JAWS Speech to the left and audio from the current application to the right. ◦ Press RIGHT ARROW to route JAWS speech to the right and audio from the current application to the left. ◦ Press UP ARROW to restore both JAWS speech and application audio to both channels. list end nesting level 1 list end Note: Before attempting to split your audio,
make sure your headset or speakers are properly oriented. For instance, if you
route JAWS speech to the left
and instead hear it in your right ear, your headset is most likely reversed. Once you split your JAWS speech and
application audio, it remains in effect until you restart JAWS, or use the
command to restore the audio balance. Additionally,
once you split the sound in the current application, the split continues even if you move to other applications. For example, if you are attending a meeting in Teams, you can continue hearing JAWS in one ear as you look up information on a web page in Chrome or write down some notes in Word while listening to your meeting in the other ear. You can also wake up the Voice Assistant and
say “Sound Left,” “Sound Right,” or “Sound Balanced.” Make sure your microphone
is not muted before speaking
these commands. You also may not want to use these commands in apps like Teams or Zoom as other meeting participants will hear you. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I use a stereo Bluetooth headset that
includes a microphone for participating in Teams and Zoom calls. Can I split the
audio in this situation?
Answer: No, splitting the audio will not work
in a call when using a Bluetooth headset. This is not a JAWS issue. When
connecting to a call in Teams or
Zoom, it switches from a headphone device to a headset device. By design, the headset device works as a mono device, so sound splitting does not work. If you want to split your audio during a call, we recommend using a wired headset. Q: Can I split my audio if I'm using a stereo
Bluetooth headset to just listen to music?
Answer: Yes. If you are playing audio from
another source such as a YouTube video, the sound splitter works as expected
even if you are using a Bluetooth
headset. You will only experience issues with splitting audio when connecting to a Teams or Zoom call using a Bluetooth headset as it changes from a stereo headphone device to a mono headset device. Q: Does the sound splitter work with external
speakers?
Answer: Yes, JAWS speech and application audio
will split as expected if you are using your computer's internal speakers, or
you have external speakers
connected. Q: While on a Teams call using my USB headset,
I moved over to Notepad to write down some information and decided to split my
audio so I could hear JAWS
better. After performing the keystrokes, JAWS was routed to one ear, but the audio from teams is still in both ears. Why did this not work? Answer: In Public Beta 1, you must always make
sure you are focused in the application where you want to split the audio. For
instance, if you are on a
call in Teams and you move over to Notepad to write down some information and you decide to split the audio so you can hear JAWS better, JAWS speech will move to one speaker, but the audio from Teams will continue to be heard in both speakers. For Public Beta 2, we are working on making it possible to split audio while focused in any application. For now, we suggest splitting the audio as soon as you launch the application, whether it is Teams or Zoom, and then join your call or meeting. Q: I currently have JAWS configured to use a
different sound device instead of the Windows default sound card. Will I still
be able to split the audio?
Answer: At this time, this feature only works
for the default sound device. If you attempt to split audio and nothing happens,
you may need to use the
Sound Cards option under the JAWS Utilities menu to set JAWS to use the Windows default sound card. We hope to resolve this for Public Beta 2. Voice Assistant Improvements
list of 4 items • The default wake word for JAWS is now “Hey Sharky,” while the default wake word for ZoomText is now “Hey Zoomy.” • When running Fusion, you can now say either "Hey Sharky" or "Hey Zoomy" and the voice assistant knows which features are for JAWS or ZoomText and will do the appropriate action depending on what you asked. Previously, Fusion users could only access ZoomText features using the voice assistant. • After selecting text with JAWS or Fusion, you can now say “Hey Sharky, Read Selection” to read the selected content, or “Hey Sharky, Append” to append the selected text to the clipboard. • Selecting the Settings option from the Voice Assistant submenu in the JAWS Utilities menu now opens a dedicated Voice Assistant Settings dialog box instead of taking you to Settings Center. list end Faster Braille Language Switching for
Multi-lingual Users
For users who speak multiple languages as well
as students who are learning another language, JAWS has supported manual and
automatic speech synthesizer
language switching for years. For braille display users needing to switch between languages regularly, the process was not as straight forward., You had to open Settings Center, and select a specific language and translation options each time you wanted to read or enter text using a different language. To help make this easier for multi-lingual
braille users, JAWS and Fusion 2022 introduces braille profiles. A braille
profile consists of a translator
mode and associated braille tables for input and output in a specific language. This now allows you to switch the braille language on-the-fly from the main keyboard, braille display, or using automatic language switching in documents or web pages, as we do with speech. You can also link the braille input language to the keyboard input language so when you press ALT+SHIFT on your computer's keyboard to switch the language used for typing, the Braille input language switches with it. To configure profile options, a new Language
Profiles dialog box has been added to Settings Center under the Braille >
General > Translation group. For
users who only use one language, there is no need to use this dialog box as you can still set your input and output translation settings as you always have in the main Translation group or the Startup Wizard. Setting Up Preferred Profiles
To choose your preferred profiles that you can
quickly switch between using a keystroke, do the following:
list of 6 items
1. Press INSERT+6 on the number row to open Settings Center. 2. To apply changes to all applications, press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings. 3. Type “profiles” without the quotes into the search edit field. 4. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Language Profiles in the search results in the tree view and press SPACEBAR to open the dialog box. You are placed in a list of profiles that correspond to all braille languages installed with JAWS. 5. Press SPACEBAR on each profile that you want to select as a preferred profile. 6. Select OK to close the dialog box and once more to close Settings Center. list end After setting up preferred profiles, you can
then use the CTRL+SHIFT+WINDOWS+L keystroke, or DOTS 2-3-4-5-7 CHORD on a Focus
braille display, to quickly
switch between profiles if you need to read or type text in different languages. You can also set a primary language profile
which is always used when JAWS starts. By default, the primary profile always
matches the JAWS language. For
instance, English – United States is always used when running the English version of JAWS. To change the primary profile, open the Language Profiles dialog box, choose the language profile you want from the list, and then select the Set Primary button. Configuring Translation Options for a Specific
Profile
To configure braille translation input and
output settings for a specific language profile, do the following:
list of 5 items
1. Press INSERT+6 on the number row to open Settings Center. 2. To apply changes to all applications, press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings. 3. Type “profiles” without the quotes into the search edit field. 4. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Language Profiles in the search results in the tree view and press SPACEBAR to open the dialog box. You are placed in a list of profiles that correspond to all braille languages installed with JAWS. 5. Select the profile you want to configure translation options for and then choose the Details button to open the Profile Details dialog box. Here, you can: list of 5 items nesting level 1 ◦ Choose the grade of braille to use when reading and typing contracted braille. The available options depend on the currently selected profile. For instance, Unified English Braille (UEB) Grade 1 or Grade 2 are not available when configuring the Spanish language profile. ◦ Choose which translation mode to use. The available choices are to use Computer Braille for both input and output, Computer Braille for input and Contracted Braille for Output, or Contracted Braille for both input and output. You can also quickly toggle between translation modes for the active profile by using DOTS 1-2-4-5-7 CHORD on a Focus braille display. ◦ Select which tables to use if Computer Braille is selected for input or output. This enables you to use different languages for reading and typing text if needed. ◦ Choose whether or not capital signs are shown on the braille display when viewing Contracted Braille. ◦ Choose whether or not the Liblouis computer braille tables are used when reading or typing in Computer Braille. list of 1 items nesting level 2 ■ After making your changes, select OK to close the Profile Details dialog box and continue selecting OK to close the Language Profiles dialog box and Settings Center. list end nesting level 2 list end nesting level 1 list end Configuring Braille Language Auto
Detection
If you want JAWS to automatically switch to
the appropriate braille language when reading or entering text, do the
following:
list of 7 items
1. Press INSERT+6 on the number row to open Settings Center. 2. To apply changes to all applications, press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings. 3. Type “profiles” without the quotes into the search edit field. 4. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Language Profiles in the search results in the tree view and press SPACEBAR to open the dialog box. 5. Select the Link braille input language to keyboard language check box to have JAWS use the appropriate braille input language that matches the currently active keyboard language. For example, if you switch the keyboard language to Spanish (ALT+SHIFT), JAWS automatically switches to Spanish braille, so you can continue entering text from your display in the correct language. 6. Select the Automatic language detection check box to have JAWS use the appropriate braille language that matches the current language of text in a document or web page. For example, if JAWS detects text in a document written in Spanish, JAWS automatically switches to displaying the text in Spanish braille using the translation mode settings configured in the Profile Details dialog box for the Spanish profile. 7. Select OK to close the dialog box and once more to close Settings Center. list end JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion Discontinues
Windows 7 and 8.1 Support
In order to keep pace with continued
advancements in Microsoft Windows technology, JAWS, Fusion, and ZoomText 2022
will no longer install and run on versions
of Windows earlier than Windows 10. We also continue improving support for Windows 11, scheduled for release in the coming months. Versions of our software will continue to be available for users of older Windows versions from our Previous Downloads web pages. Improved Performance in Microsoft Office
Apps
JAWS 2022 offers a number of general
improvements when working in Office 365 applications. In particular, users
should notice increased responsiveness
when navigating Outlook message lists and working with emails, as well as when editing Word documents. Docking the Quick Access Bar
By default, the Quick Access Bar is now docked
to one of four corners on your screen when you start ZoomText or Fusion. This
provides a location for the
Quick Access Bar to return to when it loses focus. It also makes it easy to find when viewing a magnified screen. The bar can be docked in the top right corner,
top left corner, lower right corner, or lower left corner of the screen. If you
want to change the dock
location, do the following: list of 3 items
1. If the Quick Access Bar is not expanded, click the Show Shortcut Names button to expand the bar. Show Shortcut Names button
2. Click the Customize button and then
Preferences.
Customize button
3. Select Automatically Dock to Screen Corner
and select a screen corner in the Corner list.
list end Watch for further improvements to the Quick
Access Bar in Public Beta 2.
Additional Changes
list of 8 items • Made numerous performance improvements for ZoomText tracking and navigation in various applications. • JAWS 2022 includes updated scripts from Corel for WordPerfect 2021. • For those who create JAWS scripts, added comments at the top of default.jss, so users know how to save a modified copy of this file to their user folder. • Added a new option to toggle the announcement of text marked as a sugestion in Google Docs. To change this, open Settings Center and locate the Suggested text announcement check box. • In the Braille and Text Viewer, changed the default font size to 20. The previous font size of 40 was too large for most users. • When moving to a new slide in PowerPoint, JAWS no longer says "no selection" prior to speaking the slide info, which was unnecessary speech. Now, JAWS only announces the slide title and number. • Added the ALT+Q command to the Windows Keys Help (INSERT+W) which opens the Quick Search feature in Microsoft Office apps. • JAWS now properly reads the title of the current page in Chrome or Edge when using CTRL+TAB to move between open pages. list end Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

8.1 and that my cousin upgraded to windows 10 when windows offered the free
upgrade.
I have jaws and NVDA installed on the computer and
I have had one member of this list remotely enter my system to help me configure
thunderbird to be used as my email client.
I noticed after my cousin gave me my computer back,
with the upgraded version of windows 10 on it that it was slow, like
someone reading braille by letter by letter, but after they read the first
letter, they have to check their learning braille books for the next letter one
by one, on and on until they have the complete word spelled out and then they
move on to the next letter. I can click con a link or option in the
various windows or what not and walk away from the computer for about 2 to 3
minutes and I will hear the computer just starting to do what I want it to
do.
even the person who helped me remotely said "man,
your computer is exceedingly slow" have you degragged the hard
drive. my answer: yes, several times.
I have removed apps, programs, ect and to no
avail.
so, I have asked here on the list and have
had some luck from gene and perhaps 2 or 3 other people with helpful suggestions
or websites to look at.
my cousin who upgraded the computer from windows 8
to windows 10
said that it was probably the screen reading
program that was slowing my system down. So, I wish to do a test. I
wish to remove jaws and run NVDA on it to test to see if jaws is the
issue. yes, I know, I know, why would the premier screen reading software
company cause such a slow down on a system, but the whole "resetting" the
computer to a "fresh copy of windows 10" did nothing to fix the issue, if I did
it correctly via a webpage from the virge that gene had posted to the
group.
I do not wish to start a debate between members
regarding resetting in windows 10 and restetting iin earlier versions as the
word has ddifferent meanings in different versions of windows.
So, bottom of the line, how do I remove a
program from a windows 10 computer?
Thank you.
