#jaws2025 — Public Fediverse posts

If you're just going to tell me to use NVDA, don't reply. I have a problem. I updated Parallels recently, and for the second time, JAWS decided that it was no longer registered with my VM. I have no clue how I fixed this the first time. It was like it fixed itself or something. Can I please get some help on how to resolve this? Thanks! #Blind #JAWS2025 #FreedomScientific #Screenreader

Hi all, I'm a #JAWS2025 user who likes her virtual ribbons. These don't seem to be working in #Office365. Ribbons are an absolute pain otherwise. Help?

who here uses #TWBlue? I have some questions regarding its usage with #jaws2025.

@DavidGoldfield @[email protected]@tweesecake.social I'm not sure. Let's test. @app, I've now switched back to #jaws2025 from #NVDA & jaws read the list just fine.

@app
#BugReport:
With the current public version of the app, #jaws2025 does not read the results, if any appear when a user presses alt+u to bring up the autofill menu, while composing a post.

steps to reproduce:
1. Press control+N to create a new post.
2. start typing the name of an account you'd like to mention.
3. press alt+u to bring up the autofill list.

Does #jaws2025 read it for you? If not, you've just reproduced the issue.
Now, try those same steps with #NVDA2025.
What result did you get there?
For me, it worked with #NVDA but not #jaws.
Expected behavior:
If a list of results comes up when alt+U is pressed, it should be read, regardless of #screen-reader.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

To other #JAWS #ScreenReader users, is anyone who uses #JAWS2025 having issues with the results viewer? I'm not sure when it started, but mine is completely inaccessible. Anytime I try to use PictureSmart, FS Companion, or anything else that uses the results viewer, it opens, but I can't read anything. JAWS won't do anything while on that window, and escape doesn't close it like it should. I tried repairing JAWS but that didn't fix anything, so I'm wondering if it's a script I use causing the problem. The only scripts I have installed are Leasey and the Zoom pro scripts by @brian_hartgen and a few scripts for things like Discord and Unigram by Doug Lee. I'm starting to contemplate a complete reinstall of JAWS though because not being able to use the results viewer is causing me more and more pain.

Hey @Snowman,
What's your familiarity level with #Reaper? I'm having a wierd issue with my left arrow key, that is exclusive to Reaper. I have all necessary extensions which make it accessible to those of us using #screen-readers. thie issue is:
When audio is not playing & I'm not in keyboard help mode, the left arrow seems to take me forward through my project, rather than back, as it should & states it will when I enable help mode.
I have the latest version of #jaws2025, along with the scripts you made installed.
How do you recommend I proceed?

@serrebi What's wrong with the web client? I use the Windows version & it works great with #JAWS2025.

One thing I miss about Outlook is that while using JAWS 2025, I would hear whether or not I replied to a message while arrowing through messages in a particular folder. Does this functionality exist in Thunderbird? I haven't been able to find any information on this. #Blind #Screennreader #Thunderbird #Outlook #Technology #JAWS2025

Is it just me, or is searching for something in the Windows 11 Start Menu search box using a screenreader is annoying? In Win 10, I used to be told the first match. Now, arrowing through things is highly unresponsive, and even reading what I've typed there is a pain. #Windows #Blind #Screenreader #Technology #JAWS2025

Is there an easy way to capture screenshots using #JAWS2025 so I can send them to someone? Thanks! #Blind #Screenreader #Technology

I always say I'm never afraid to say I was wrong. And so apparently I am wrong and @brian_hartgen is right. I've finally been hit with a bug in #JAWS2025 and it's a bad one. When in #MicrosoftWord365 if you navigate to the ribbon, mailings tab and create envelopes Word crashes when using #JAWS but not when using Narrator and #NVDA. This is unacceptable. Anyone have an installer for 2024? #Oy

okay, so the more important question is, what about the other apple apps made for windows, such as #AppleDevices, #JAWS2025.
