#jfw — Public Fediverse posts

Well I've applied #WindowsUpdates and did their necessary reboots and #JFW is still running and hasn't bothered me to sign in again. That was a very unwelcome bit of behavior so I hope it stays gone.

Power users of pronunciation dictionaries, I have a pretty specific situation here. The person I'm proofing for uses actual space characters rather than tabs at the beginnings of his paragraphs, this results in having runs reported by text analyzer every time I get to a new paragraph. Having JAWS speak character count works, but this usually means seeing the space count at the beginning of each paragraph twice unless I turn off indentation indication. Yet, I need indentation indication to report justification levels such as centered or whether or not text is justified. I mark the ends of my sentences with one space. He marks them with two. is there a way I can make one dictionary entry that will allow me to set a sound to play when there are two spaces after colons or other other punctuation marks that normally end sentences? Or do I have to create an entry for every one of these? Just creating one for two spaces doesn't work because it gets triggered when two or more spaces in a row are encountered, so the three spaces my client uses for paragraph starters gets indicated... and we're back to square one.

Ruh Roh Rorge I just found my first break in #JFW 2026 and i'm not pleased. When on a web page in Google Chrome with window maximized I can't copy text to clipboard but in JFW 2025 I still can. What on the earth is the meaning of this?

@ChrisDuffley Ah well I didn't need anything from him I just wanted to praise his #JFW Scripts for Speak Dropbox and SpeakOneDrive.

Question for my #Blind friends, does anyone know if iMazing on the #Windows side is #Accessible with #JFW or #NVDA? I figured I'd ask before I purchase the thing sight unseen as it were. Thanks in advance.

Trying this again, since I got no answers last time, and only one confirmation that I'm not alone in seeing this behaviour:
For whatever reason, the JAWS "Check For Updates" menu option under the Help menu is always unavailable when running Windows and JFW in a virtual machine on a Qemu-KVM hypervisor.
What I'd love to know is if anyone knows if this is a bug or feature? If bug, is FS even aware of it? Any planned fixes? I tried to contact FS on this and got about as much as I expected, nothing.
If a feature, does anyone understand the rationale of making JFW automatic Updates unavailable on virtual machines?

Hey #Blind friends using #ScreenReaders like #JFW how on the earth do you now edit your #Amazon.com shopping cart I.E. if you wish to remove an item? I'm in Chrome today and can't figure out how to do it.

@mcourcel Now that is truly fascinating. #JFW running #Eloquence elongated the r for a spell and then inexplicably switched to saying r ' r ' r ' I wonder why.

@douglas2005 I had to read that joke for the last hour I didn't get it till I made #JFW spell it. One instance where #Braille would have been my friend but I wasn't looking at my display. #WhyBrailleMatters see what I did there?

@payown I've always wished #JFW would implement such for their progress indicators or at least have them as a choice for those who might want them.

@maerlynofmiria Right literally every time I upgrade my #JFW license within minutes I have a fraudulent charge and I do that over the phone. But that goes to my point it's almost something one can't avoid these days.
