[NFBCS] Jaws and Outlook

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

I also have narrator start at the login screen, and have JAWS start once the login screen has been passed. JAWS has this option by:

When the computer is fully logged-in:
Hit insert + j,
JAWS  Context Menu ‑

Options sub menu‑


Basics...

Basic Settings  dialog ‑

Tutor Messages Announce custom messages only  radio button ‑ checked‑
tab

Access Key Speak all  radio button ‑ checked‑
tab

Automatically Start JAWS...  Button ‑
Hit enter and select start JAWS after login.


Regards

Hi Tracy:

Sometimes, when my Outlook misbehaves, I find that recycling JAWS with the JAWS key plus space followed by F4 will fix the misbehavior problem.

Most everyone has JAWS start up automatically. I have chosen not to do this, favoring instead to use Narrator during Windows login and placing a shortcut to JAWS in my shell:startup folder. Thus, JAWS starts up a little later after logging in, giving me a somewhat cleaner system. I got this suggestion from José in Vispero Tech Support.

Kind regards,

Curtis Chong

Hi Curtis.
No, I’m not subscribed to MS365, nor do I want to be, really.
It’s never worked since I installed Outlook, except in certain circumstances which I can’t replicate and don’t understand. I’ve had a Jaws update since, but nothing changed.
It is annoying, because I have to manually read each thing as I arrow through, which takes a lot more time and repetitive keystrokes.

Hello Tracy:

When, exactly, did this problem start? Was it after an Office update or a JAWS update?

When you say you are running Outlook 2019, I assume you are not on the Microsoft 365 subscription. Is this accurate?

I feel your pain. Not being able to hear a message summary while arrowing up or down through the list of messages is frustrating.

Kind regards,

Curtis Chong

Jaws does not automatically read message titles when I arrow through my Outlook inbox most of the time.  I am running the latest Jaws and Outlook 2019.
I have tried maximizing the window, but that doesn’t help.
The only times it does read when I arrow is after I’ve had a Teamviewer session open to have AIRA help me with some web page.
However, I tried starting Teamviewer today, without anyone connecting to it, and that didn’t have the same effect.

I looked in Startup, and I only see programs I expect there.

Anyone have any ideas?  I can call FS, but I don’t know if they’ll have a solution.
Tracy
