JAWS 2021 is acting up in outlook and word on HP Z 240 SFF workstation.
by Anatoliy Shudrya 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

I can't figure out for the life of me what is the problem. Jaws just won't read some emails with tables and acts really strange with word when typing. It almost goes to some sort of mode like a learning mode or some functions mode. My temp fix is to enable "game mode" with windows key plus G and then turn off game mode. It fixes it for a little bit and then it gets back to the strange behavior. I have noticed it mostly happens with word and outlook. I already updated my work PC to the latest updates. Reinstalled graphics drivers uninstalled all versions of JAWS and fresh new install of 2021 and it still gives me hard time. The HP Z 240 SFF has Intel 630 graphics. My other office has Z230 SFF with NVIDEA graphics card and everything is good. Any ideas why I would get such behavior and what else I can try? I was thinking to clean re-install office 365 but don't want to spend time reconfiguring all the settings, inboxes etc.

Solution for accessible ssh from iOS
by Chris Nestrud 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

I've found what seems like a decent solution for accessible ssh on iOS that is free. The result is that you can ssh to a remote host and type commands, either using an on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard. Output is spoken as it is received or you can review it using standard Voiceover commands. Each line is a separate item so it's easy to find what you're looking for. First, download and install the free iSH app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ish-shell/id1436902243 This provides an emulated Linux system so of course it can do far more than just ssh. Second, install the apk package management tool using this guide: https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Installing-apk There is a very long command that you need to execute. If typing this is inconvenient, you can: A. use a three-finger quadruple tap to copy the command to the clipboard B. from within the ish shell, run: cat /dev/clipboard > apk.sh C. from within the ish shell, run: sh apk.sh Third, install ssh A. from within the ish shell, run: apk add openssh At this point you can ssh as you normally would. It seems like the ish developers have paid attention to Voiceover accessibility. If anyone responsible for this happens to read this message, thank you. Chris

my set up
by Marvin Hunkin 16 Nov '20

Hi. Well every time try to then connect using remote connection, says it cannot connect, so using hyper v manager. Okay thanks for the nvda function speaking keys tip. Did not know that. Did read the short cut keys, that one must have passed me by or did not see that. And running normal mode. Not full mode. If I run in full mode, don't get the caps lock on and off, but then if I do windows I, it jumps out of the server and back to my main os. Real strange. Is there a tool to try to get things working as I want. Thanks. Ps: or just put up with it. And pity there's no script or keyboard short cuts to turn on audio, when installing windows server.

is there a script to turn on audio in windows server hyper v
by Marvin Hunkin 16 Nov '20

Hi. A friend set up a second server. But my machine chashedchrashed and he forgot to set up the audio end points and audio for my server. Is there a power shell script or command prompt to turn it on. First server, I hear nvda. And when I enter the second server, get no audio feedback. Or do I just have to wait for my network friend to then remote in using team viewer. Using windows server 2019 essentials 1809 and running the host os windows 10 2009 pro 64 bit. Thanks. Ps: my friend was doing this for me or helping me out and then windows narrator and my system chrashed. No audio. And he was on zoom. Got 8 gb ram, another 8 gb ram slot if I need to have 16 gb ram. Got 500 gb solid state drive. Marvin.second

accessible capture
by Marvin Hunkin 15 Nov '20

Hi. Found an accessible simple to use capture program. Called capture and made by a firm called text smith http://www.textsmith.com. You do need to create a free account. This is a simple image capture. Able to then click on the capture button, once you are in that window. Or part of it. Then click save, and then save to that. So that's what I am was looking for. To capture screen shots inside windows server, where the print screen key not working inside hyper v, windows server. And even did try finding alt control - and alt control == for windows server. And still did not work. So did try that on my windows 10 host system. It is accessible with jaws and nvda. Thanks.

The print screen or alt print screen, hear no notifications in windows server 2019 1809 under hyper v. and no screen shots saved. So any software can I use that will do screen captures. Snipping tool does not read well with nvda and windows narrator. Don't have a remote licence for jaws. Thanks.

screen capture software
by Marvin Hunkin 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Hi. Need to use a accessible free screen capture software for windows server 2019. Need to capture the screen, then save them as a png or other images. Need to do this for a network lab and to show my trainer what I have done inside windows server 2019 inside hyper v manager. Any ideas. Have tried different software. Either not accessible or not able. Unless have to create a auto hot key script to do this. Thanks.

Hi. Got nvda installed and set up the laptop keyboard and use caps lock as a keyboard short cut. And then set that up. When I login and then open hyper v manager, connect then use the computer. When I press the caps lock key on my laptop. Says the nvda + f 12, but also says caps lock on. How can I not hear this. Any ideas. Or ask my sighted network friend. Also. Maybe he can fix this and the activate windows on wed. and server manager works great. Do have a active directory server dc already set up. Thanks.remote
