Re: JAWS 4.51

Hello Keith:
You can turn the JAWS tutor messages and access keys off if you like.  Bring up 
the JAWS window with insert+j, go to Options and then basics, and select the 
appropriate choices.

  Subject: JAWS 4.51


  Just earlyer today, I found that having the tutor messages and access keys 
  announced in JAWS is really too much verbage. Meaning that JAWS was using to 
  much speech, when I didn't need extra speech telling me to press the arrow 
keys  
  or use the spacebar. I'll admit that for a user starting out with JAWS, the 
  tutor messages are helpful. They are great indications of what to do in a 
sertin 
  control or dialog box. However, in my experience with JAWS, I've found that 
  having the tutor messages for me is more of an annoyance then a help. It is 
not 
  needed if you have already used earlyer versions of JAWS such as 3.7. 3.7 is 
  the last version that wouldn't have extra speech. JAWS 4.0 started with the 
  tutor messages and access keys. I also use the demo version of JAWS for 
Windows 
  5.0, and yet I wonder wy have tutor messages? I found issues with that extra 
  speech. That output is not really required in JAWS. For example, wile on the 
  desktop, It is not nessasary to be told to move through items use the arrow 
  keys, because tippically as computer users, don't we already know how to do 
that? 
  I believe that these messages are good for the beginner, or new trainer. But 
  in 3.7 we did not have this extra speech. 
  Another question that I cannot help asking is this. 

         Does anyone know when the JAWS 5.0 program was released? Wasn't it 
  something like October 13, 2003? 

  I am asking because, I had a demo of JAWS for Windows 4.50. It expired. 
  Meaning, that when I'd run it, I'd get a dialog telling me that I had 8 days 
  remaining, etc as the days past. Well Once I had used up the final days, I 
tryed 
  using my full version of JAWS to reset my system date, then after restarting 
to 
  insure the changes whent in to effect, I tryed installing the demo, and it 
was 
  once again back working. That's wy I wonder out of cureosity if anyone knows 
  when the  5.0 program was released? I am not wishing to upset anyone on this 
  list by asking such a question. I feel I'm crossing lines here that should 
not 
  be   crossed. If I've overstept my bounderys by asking this question, please 
  yel at me as long as you need to. I won't try asking such a question like 
this 
  again. Only reason wy I hope I'm not overdoing things by asking these 
  questions, is because on the JFWLite list, I got in big trouble for not 
keeping my 
  subject lines appropriate  and because of that, I was placed on moderated    
  stattice, and when I did it again, I was unsubscribed. Hopefully the same is 
not  
  happening here. I apologize if I've upset anyone on this list. I do not wish 
to 
  do so. 

  With complete  apologys and regards to the list, Keith.
