[Trainer-Talk] jaws and focus 40 blue question

[Reginald George]

Hi Sarah,

Sometimes others make changes to Windows accessibility settings that can 
make things very difficult for screen readers so I will cover the basics in 
case that happened to you.

The email or document window doesn't always maximize by default.
Make sure your theme under personalization is set to Windows 7 basic. 
Always verify the window is maximized when starting a new email, and make 
sure that under display the font size is only set to 100%.  Cursor width 
under ease of access must also be at 1 for Jaws to track properly.

Reg

With JAWS there are a couple tricks that sometimes make difficult text 
appear, try insert-escape, which refreshes the screen.  Also, sometimes 
jumping down to bottom of document, then back up helps, so do control-end 
and then control-home.

If not, contact freedom scientific, they do have ok tech support, you can 
call or e-mail support at freedomscientific.com

   Good evening. I am using the latest version of Jaws on a windows 7 
coomputer and a focus 40 blue. When I create a word document, I am often not 
able to read what I write after I type. This sometimes also happens when 
composing an email. I write novels, and it would be great to read what I 
write. I sometimes just see a blank Braille display. I am also not able to 
use dot eight to write a not line. I have to press enter on the computer 
keyboard.  Is there a Jaws tetting I need to change? Thank you.
    Sarah
