Shift+JAWSKey+b is JAWS' default battery level script. It doesn't always work but if it works for you, you're in business. In addition, Doug Lee posted an enhanced battery level script to this list back in May. Here is his message: ---- I have run with the following script in my custom default.jss for quite a while now. It lets a single SayBatteryLevel (Shift+JAWSKey+B) command run the original JAWS code but runs custom code if you type the command twice quickly. I wrote this a while back for myself because sometimes JAWS is unable to find the battery information on my laptop. It will attempt to say three things, in this order: Percentage of battery power remaining even if running on AC, then current power source (AC Power or batteries), then time remaining ("unknown" when on AC power generally). script sayBatteryLevel() var handle hwnd if !isSameScript() then performScript sayBatteryLevel() return endIf let hwnd = findTopLevelWindow("SystemTray_Main", "") if hwnd then let hwnd = getLastWindow(getFirstChild(hwnd)) ; Dialog containing details let hwnd = getFirstChild(hwnd) while hwnd && !stringContains(getWindowName(hwnd), "%") let hwnd = getNextWindow(hwnd) endWhile if stringContains(getWindowName(hwnd), "%") then ; Say total remaining battery power percentage, even if on AC power. sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(hwnd)) ; Then say "AC Power" or "Batteries" to indicate which is in effect. sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(getNextWindow(hwnd))) endIf let hwnd = getLastWindow(hwnd) ; Time remaining sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(hwnd)) return endIf performScript sayBatteryLevel() endScript ---- -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of don mauck Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 8:31 AM To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Battery status script Hello, I seem to remember someone posting a battery status script on this list at one time, am I correct? Or, does Jaws provide a key to do this and I just can't find it? Thanks.
