#JAWSForWindows users, Anyone figured out how to get the usual alt+number shortcuts working properly in the new Outlook? Any help appreciated. Thanks. PS: please don’t tell me to use classic outlook. #Blind #ScreenReader #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind

Now isn't this most intriguing, when I search for this emoji and put it in my own post #JawsForWindows reads it as 😁 but if I’m looking at the notification that someone liked my post containing such speech output renders it as smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes. Isn’t that peculiar how the same emoji in 2 different contexts is spoken differently by the same screen reader. #It’sAMystery

What on the earth? When did this manifest? In #GoogleChrome Browser when adding a bookmark using #JawsForWindows I'm unable to arrow up and down through bookmark folders to place the new one I'm trying to add.

Well, seems as though I'm kind of right. Now the annual license is actually cheaper than the software maintenance agreement. Mercifully I don't have to do anything to address this today as I'm good through 2026 but rest assured I'll be watching for discounts during convention season. Still, I'm curious what my smart friends who use #JawsForWindows are doing in light of this, sticking with software maintenance agreement upgrades for as long as they last or switching to the annual license. Nothing like making things as confusing as humanly possible. #NotTheBestLook @freedomscientific

To my friends who use #JawsForWindows curious if anyone's encountered this. In the last couple of weeks when I click on a desktop icon to open a folder instead of opening that folder sometimes all Jaws will report is desktop and I won't be or won't seem to be in an area in which I can do much of anything. What is the cause or meaning of this thing?

Oh, just got an alert there's a new #JAWSForWindows update today. I wonder if anyone's installed it yet. Not saying it came out today just that's when the update popped up and said hello to little me.

What is this madness that now makes #JawsForWindows verbalize "start button off, start button off" when launching a program or opening a file or folder

@jcast432 Hahahahahahaha I had fun with that. How did you write the dots out like that? It was a very interesting experience reading that with #JawsForWindows. Very clever. 🤗

I just used the #JawsForWindows #PictureSmart feature to describe an item on EBay to me and it worked flawlessly. Just to be able to do such a thing without having to bother another human makes me feel a bit emotional. Thank you @freedomscientific for such literal freedom.

Glory me I just opened #Thunderbird for the first time in ages and it's worse than bad with #JawsForWindows. The lag is simply unbearable. Are people still using that client at all? If so how?

@freedomscientific@mastodon.socialIs there a price or other notable difference between sticking with a traditional Software maintenance agreement for #JawsForWindows vs an annual home license upgrade? Thanks in advance for any light you could shed on this for us all.

I just ran into a web page with an #Inaccessible prompt at my bank. I could have panicked. I could have called @AiraVI but since I was at the fabulous presentation that @brian_hartgen did for @bitsacb last Saturday, I thought I know what I'll do and employed #PictureSmart in #JawsForWindows and dealt with the prompt and entered the choice I needed and went on my way. Empowerment through learning from a friend is a wondrous blessing. #Winning!

#JAWSForWindows reads "April 3, 2 Pm" as "April third, second PM". The date translation thingies have honestly needed work for a long time now.

Strange I could almost swear in the latest version of #JawsForWindows the Eloquence voice sounds less bassy and I'm not sure I like it.

Good evening, #JAWS users. Have a question. How does one configure #Windows11 such that the list of system tray icons is always fully expanded? Thanks in advance for any help. @freedomscientific #JAWSForWindows #JAWS2024 #Blind #VisuallyImpaired #LowVision #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind @main

Earlier this morning some of us were speaking of submitting feedback to #FreedomScientific AKA #Vispero regarding the way #JawsForWindows handles multiple emojis. Here's the URL through which feedback can be submitted. https://support.freedomscientific.com/Forms/ProductFeedback

Dear @freedomscientific Why is it that you can't make #JawsForWindows simply verbalize the number of emojis present as opposed to verbalizing each individual one? For instance "4 grinning face with smiling eyes" or "4 thumbs up"? If something prohibits this can you explain what it is and why? Thanks in advance.

Curious if any screen-reader users have recommendations for Windows clients to use with Mastodon? Or do you just prefer the browser experience? #screenreader #blindness #at #assistivetechnology #jaws #jawsforwindows #nvda

@rFlutterDev
A long time ago when writing code for #JFW #JawsForWindows scripts I always CamelCased my code.
Something like:
If GetWindowClass(GetCurrentWindow()=="UnKnownCondition32" then
PlaySound("C:\\Users\\BlindHedgehog\\AppData\\Roaming\\Freedom Scientific\\Jaws\\Settings\\Enu\\Sounds\\DeadSpace.Wav")
EndIf
