Jaws Announcing Selected Text
|
Mike B <mb69mach1@...>
Howdy All,
Running Windows 7 & 10 pro with J16 thru
J2019 latest. When selecting all the text in a text / Notepad file
Jaws used to report how many characters wer selected, but not any
more. What or where do I need to go to find this setting so I can get this
function back? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks mooy
moocho.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up.

Mike,
I’m guessing this isn’t the answer, but just in case. Notepad, Windows 10-1809, latest release of JAWS 19.
Whether JAWS reports the number of characters selected depends on which text selection level I choose. I will be told the number of charazcters if I select all (control-a) or from focus to end of text (shift-control-down arrow). However, if I select with just shift-down arrow, JAWS does not give me this information.

Hi Adrian,
When selecting all text with, Control + A, is
where I used to get the total amount of characters reported, but I'm not getting
the number of characters no matter which keystroke I use. I don't know
when Jaws stopped reporting character count for sure, but it most definetly
happened within the last couple of months. Thank you for your
input.

Mike,
I think what she is saying is that it still works with Jaws. I don’t know
if you may have changed something that cause it to stop for you. I just went to
a document and it works the same for me as for Adrian.

Hi Marie,
With Word documents Jaws
reports correctly, but in text files it was not until I changed
something this morning. I'm not sure which setting I changed, but Jaws is
now reporting character count in text / Notepad files the way I like Jaws to
report. Thank you for your input.
