JAWS, Open Office 3, and Windows 7

I'm a jaws user, too, and I'm curious...did anyone ever come up with a solution to these issues?

@mpeveto100 I heard about something in regard to having...something about Java enabled.

u need to use the java access bridge and also u need to enable the accessibility features in the options.

@nightwatcher3344 I'll try to remember that. Thanks. :)

I am Not sure that I could listen to Jaws on any kind of a regular basis. THat synthesized voice. Is there another screen reader that is at no cost (using windows xp with Firefox as the web browser). So I know that SA to go won't work. Do you have Any other suggestions? Please advise. I like the video as much as every other one that I have listened to. You're vids are Great! Keep-em coming. :))

Oh dear god, I could not watch it. Its nice that you made this video and that there is a such a solution for when you can´t see the screen. But please god, you can manage 5 minutes without it, seriosly annoys.

[rml695]

Here's a solution. YOU try closing your eyes for a few hours and use the computer WITHOUT speech. Believe, you will be glad when you hear the words "JAWS for Windows is ready."

[Vmt16]

Then I would not be using a computer. I would ping myself by turning JAWS on.

wow that was crazy

[rml695]

What was?

[jakeb1997]

turn off the narrator!!! Please for the sake of everyone watching this video.

[rml695]

You don't understand that JAWS is a screen reader and it helps me since at times I cannot see the screen too well.

That was Jaws 10, wasn't it? I supose that Jaws 11 works with Windows 7, it's new... But than it comes Windows 8 and... :-)

[rml695]

Yeah, I do believe it was 10. 11 does work with Windows 7.

[tkbewunderin79]

The option Jaws-tandem is very interesting. Oh, I'm so thankful to Jaws...! To have pc or not to have it, that means Jaws. OK, there are other screen-readers, but not so good, naturly. Greetings from Spain.
