I have not had any experience with building scripts for Jaws.
Can one program commands that are windows commands in these scripts for Jaws?
Or are the functions just those that Jaws can do specifically?
Where is the best place to find out about Jaws scripts and how to write them?
Thank you,

OK
JAWS does not have a key recording function or, actually, a macro function. It
does, however, have, as I'm sure you are aware, a powerful scripting language.
To be sure, it is not nearly as convenient as a key recorder or macro function,
but it can accomplish exactly the same thing.
If all you want to do is record a series of keystrokes, you can do that in JAWS
scripts, and those can apply to any application or all applications.
The scripts, in many ways, are better than macros in that you can cause the
macro to stop and wait for input and then move on.
There used to be a product called Window Bridge which I loved. It had one of
the best, and most powerful, macro features I've ever seen. I miss that.

Thank you,
So you don't know of an accessible Macro that just sends the simple key
combinations to the computer?
I'd think that a Macro that just sends key combinations to the computer would
be simpler than programming for one specific application.
JFW doesn't have a Macro feature somewhere? I'd think this would be a very
useful thing, if people knew how to use it.
I find myself doing all kinds of repetitive tasks that I would love a simple
Macro to do and all using simple reproducible key commands.
I'll check download.com, but I really have no idea what I'm looking for.
Thanks,

Brandon: That looks like a micro you are looking for. However, macros only
work in certain programs. You can try OCR solutions like openbook. This program
has a print utility that sends the eselected text to openbook and performs OCR
on it. it also once it finishes it let you save the document as .DOC. I don't
know if this helps or not, but it sure helps me quite a it. Thanks to the fact
that all of my PDF's are supposed "protected" format... Apperently, they
protected against the mouse... Not against control shift commands and openbook.

Subject: Recording Commands?
Hello,
I'm wondering if there are any programs that I can get that will record a
group of commands that I press then all I need to do to execute those commands
after they're recorded is press a button.
For example:
I'm converting my textbook from PDF documents to Documents by:
down arrow to chapter 20 in my documents,
hit enter,
down arrow (sais I'd like to read the document left to right top to bottom)
enter,
wait 10 seconds,
hit ctrl A,
hit ctrl C,
alt tab twice (to get to a blank document)
hit ctrl V,
hit down arrow then left arrow once,
hit back space 4 times,
hit ctrl shift up arrow,
hit ctrl C,
hit ctrl S,
hit ctrl V,
hit ctrl N,
hit alt tab,
hit alt F4,
hit alt tab,
and down arrow to chapter 21 and repeat.
This is very repetitive and I would love to find a way that it will max take
15 seconds and I just need to hit a button every 15 seconds for the process to
begin again.
Please, any ideas will be greatly welcome!
Thank you,
Brandon Keith (Biggs)
