Hi Friends,
Recently I tried to install scripts that would make my computer clock into a
kuku clock. However some where in the installation I must have made a mistake
and now when I start up my computer I get the following message:
The file C colon:back slashDocuments and Settingsback slashAll
Usersback slashApplication Databack slashFreedom Scientificback
slashJAWSbackslash7.0back slashSettingsback slashenuback
slashcuckoodotJSB could not be opened
In fact jaws doesn't read any thing until I alt tab into another window and
then jaws starts to read. I can then alt tab through the windows that are open
and that's when I find the above message. The cuckoo installation instructions
are quite detailed and specific. I got the cuckoo clock scripts from the
following link:
http://www.jfwscripts.cjb.net/
and the scripts are called:
. The Jaws Talking Clock Scripts written by David Truong and Andrew Hart.
Does any one know how I might solve this problem or get rid of the file that
can't be opened. If the installation instructions would be of any help I'll
include them at the bottom of my message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Installing the scripts.
1. Extract all of the files in this archive to your jfw settings directory.
E.G. c:\Jaws451\settings\enu\
2. Load default.jss into the script manager by pressing Shift+Control+0.
Alternatively run the Jaws Manager and choose Script manager from the listbox
and
press enter. Then press shift+control+d to load up the default.jss file.
3. When the default.jss file is loaded into script manager, press Control+End
which will take you to the bottom of the default.jss script file. Then press
enter to leave a blank line.
4. Type in the following exactly as written below. Alternatively navigate back
to this document and copy the below line to the clipboard and navigate back
to script manager then paste the following line.
; Start copying from here
Use "cuckoo.jsb"
; End of line to copy
5. Once you have completed the above steps, press Control+s to compile the
scripts. If you hear JFW announce "compile complete" then press alt+f4 to exit
script manager.
Setting up hotkeys for the talking clock scripts.
The following instructions will allow you to choose your own two hotkeys which
the talking clock scripts require. however I shall put in my keystroke
combinations
so you can follow how the syntax must be written into the default.jkm file. I
have to use this method to incorporate the keystrokes because trying to do
this from the script documentation function of script manager won't work due to
the fact that I am calling the cuckoo.jsb file, found in this archive.
1. Open up script manager by pressing JawsKey+0 or Shift+Control+0.
Alternatively run the Jaws Manager and choose Script manager from the listbox
and press
enter. Then press control+f4 to close the currently loaded script.
2. Now press control+o which will bring up an open file dialogue box.
3. In the file name edit field Type in the following file name: default.jkm
then press enter.
4. Now press Control+home to insure that you are at the top of the default.jkm
file.
5. Press Control+f which will bring up the find dialogue box. JFW should
announce "find what edit field". In this edit field type in the following:
[Common
Keys] then press enter and press escape to exit the find dialogue box.
5. If step 4 is successful, your cursor should now be on the [Common Keys]
line. Now this is important! Press home to go to the beginning of that line and
then press down-arrow once so your cursor is below the [Common Keys] line.
6. Now this is important! Press Enter a couple of times to give you room to
type in the following two hotkeys. The following syntax for the hotkeys goes
like this:
* one hotkey definition per line.
* KeyCombinationToBEAssigned=ScriptToBeAssigned
Example:
Control+JAWSKey+F5=SetCuckooClock
Shift+JAWSKey+F5=SayCuckooState
You can change the text before the equals sign to the key combination of your
choice.
7. Once you have completed the previous 6 steps then press Control+s to save
your modified default.jkm file. You will not get any confirmation message to
let you know that the deed has been done smile.
8. Press alt+f4 to exit script manager.
9. Shut down jaws with JAWSKey+f4 and restart Jaws again with your Jaws hotkey
usually Alt+Control+j.
10. Press the hotkey you assigned to Select a time interval and arrow to your
desired choice and press enter. Now you are set to go. Remember the other
hotkey you assigned will let you hear how often jaws will announce the time.
You're now done
