Issues with JAWS screen reader

Good day everyone,
I'm working at making sure one of my forms is WCAG compliant. All is good except when I try to use JAWS to screen-read the form to see if it sounds ok.
I have a bit of dynamic functionality built in the form and it's saved as a dynamic form.
But when the JAWS reader starts reading the form, nothing happens and it tells me no tags are available for him to read out loud.
If I save the form as a static form, the screen-reader works ok.
Is there anyway to work around this? is this an issue at the Adobe level or the JAWS tool? Is there a work around to make this work (we use JAWS where I work)
Or, would using another screen reader work ok?
I need some help on this one.
Thank you very much,

JAWS not reading dynamic forms properly. Try NVDA(Non Visual Desktop Access) tool. It is a free open source screen reader.It is working perfectly fine.

  • Full Screen Button won't activate with JAWS screen reader

    Hi,
      I use a JAWS screen reader for testing compliance issues. On some videos I'm testing, when I activate the Full Screen button, the video goes to full screen mode for a second and then returns to normal screen mode. Please, can anyone offer me a solution?
    Thanks,
    Rosemary    

    You should consult the JAWS forum. There's absolutely no issue with fullscreen on Flash itself. The issue lies with the JAWS text synth functionality.

  • Where are the scripts that make Flex apps work with the JAWS screen reader?

    From the adobe website:
    To use the JAWS screen reader with a Flex application, users must download scripts from the Adobe accessibility website before invoking a Flex application. Screen readers work best when in Forms mode, which lets users interact directly with the Flex application. These scripts let users switch between Virtual Cursor mode and Forms mode by using the Enter key from almost anywhere within a Flex application. If necessary, users can exit Forms mode by using the standard JAWS keystrokes.
    Users can download these scripts, and the installation instructions, from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/flex_accessibility."
    The link is broken and the marvellously dense chat support person said that Adobe doesn't support Flash Builder.
    Where are these scripts located?

    I installed OEL 5.3 not on virtual drive, but directly to my desktop computer.
    what is connection database software?? is it different from putty?
    where can I get the DMS? ( data mover scripts, am I right?)
    wait for your response..
    regard.I'm afraid, I don't follow you very well. Anyway, if you have a db, with a running listener, you should be able to connect from any client over your local network (even through different OS). In that case, you'll need a client software (i.e. Oracle client runtime installation). Regarding the DMS, you should be able to find it onto the client after Peopletools/Peoplesoft application installation.

  • JAWS Screen Reader and Chat Window in AdobeConnect

    Hello, I recently hosted a webinar for a group of people with disabilities from around the world. I noticed that the blind and low vision participants were not participating in the chat window and followed up with one of them afterwards. A participant from India who uses JAWS screen reading technology said:
    "I didn’t face much of accessibility issues, but somehow I couldn’t use the Chat Window. As you had made me aware, I understand, that it should have been accessible with JAWS, but somehow, I couldn’t use it. May be, it is accessible with an upgraded version of JAWS."
    Is there a certain version of JAWS that users must have in order to be compatible with the Chat window feature? Or might it have been user error? Let me know if there are any tips that we can give to future webinar attendees, as we often have participants with various disabilities. Thank you!

    Hello Ashley!
    The whitepaper http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/education/pdfs/adobe-connect-accessibility -wp.pdf states JAWS 11 as a benchmark.
    A much longer and broader thread on Connect & accessibility is at http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread?thread=4392. You may want to mine some information and see if it is useful. Unfortunately, a user could not use Connect UI with JAWS. Could be some edge case or a bug.
    If and when you use Connect via JAWS, please do share your experience and feedback in this thread.

  • Issue with blank screen HP G60-447CL Notebook PC

    Issue with blank screen  HP G60-447CL Notebook PC, I purchased warranty and have had the laptop serviced before for the same exact issue.  Same problem has come up again blank screen it has been less than five months this problem was fixed and it has started again:  blank screen white, laptop is powered on nothing else happens.  Now I cannot reach anyone.

    You're very welcome.
    I have tried many times to help folks with different drivers and nothing has worked.
    I'd say at least a dozen people have posted about this issue, and no one can fix it.
    I don't understand it either.

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

  • Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "e

    Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
    We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

    Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
    I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.

  • Accessible Reports for JAWS Screen Reader

    Hi there,
    I'm developing some Reporting Services reports to be deployed in SharePoint (Integration Mode). However about 30% of my user base are blind and therefore use JAW screen reader to access these reports. The only solution I found online was to add an HTML render
    extension with accessibletablix enabled. This solution implies that users will have to export the report to HTML4.0 to have access to the accessible reports. This solution is however not working because all reports using grouping are read in a very inconsistent
    way by JAW reader after it is exported to HTML4.0. 
    I therefore decided to create accessible version of each report to make JAWS read the report in a moderately accessible way (Although not the best). The problem is that even with the accessible version, users still have to export to HTML4.0, which is definitely
    not a good solution in terms of user experience. Is there a way to enable the accessibletablix in the report such that the default report view in SharePoint will be accessible without the need to export to HTML4.0?
    Are there some tips on creating accessible report with basic groups?
    Thanks 
    Dan

    Hi Doris,
    I'm using SharePoint 2013, Reporting Services 2012. I'm not sure about the report viewer. The download link is not working.
    The reports are showing well but JAWS screen reader reads it without mentioning the column headers unless it is exported to accessible HMTL version. And Tables containing groups with subtotal are not read well even when it's exported. How do I enable accessibletablix
    for default report without the need to export.
    I created the report using report wizard.
    This is what I used to enable accessibletablix but it only works when exported.
    open SharePoint powershell
    Get-SPRSServiceApplication, get the ID value
    New-SPRSExtension -identity  ID value  -ExtensionType "Render" -name "HTMLRS" -TypeName "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.Html40RenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering"

  • Difficult Situation with BlackBerry Screen Reader

    Hello,
    I have a friend living in Europe where Blackberry Support is very scarce. She is also Visually Impaired so getting information back and forth will be very difficult and but I am hopping that someone here will be able to help.
    She has a Blackberry Curve 9360 with the new app Screen Reader.
    Her problem is that the app slows the phone down 40 to 50% then without it. It also causes the phone to randomly crash where the only fix is a battery pull.
    My question is, Does anyone have any experience with the Screen Reader App? Is this a common Problem? Any Fixes?
    Like I said if you have any questions for me to ask, it might take a while for them to be answered.
    Thank you,
    Dejan Z.

  • A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

    hi gurus,
    Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
    what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
    So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
    Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
    For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
    FullName = objArgs(I)
    FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
    Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
    set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
    objExcel.application.visible=false
    objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
    objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
    objExcel.Application.Quit
    objExcel.Quit
    Set objExcel = Nothing
    set objExcelBook = Nothing
    Next
    Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
    e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
    csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
    here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
    but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
    can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
    so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
    AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

    I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
    Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
    Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
    Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
    Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
    Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
    Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
    Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
    Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
    Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
    Hope this helps.

  • JAWS Screen Reader Not Reading

    I am in the process of developing a online flash module for a client and have been having some problems with the screen reader actually reading the text on the screen. The text is in a classic dynamic text field. The field is covered by a number of layers of text and graphics and is not in a movie clip. Accessibility properties for the field have been enabled. Accessibility active returns true but nothing is being read. Is there something else that needs to be done? Any assistance that could be offered would be very much appreciated.
