Re: Sodbeans accessibility

Jeff,
I am also having an issue with Sodbeans locking up or crashing on campus on the 
campus computers.  For example, I tried pasting Java code into the editor this 
past Wednesday, and got the ”This program is not responding,” message and had 
to close it.  Another time that it completely crashed is when I tried to run a 
Java app that I built.  Do you have any suggestions for what I should tell the 
system administrators on campus?  This would be greatly appreciated.  I’m not 
sure if it is their computers or a bug in Sodbeans.

Thank you,
Mike

Hi Roger, 

It sounds like you may have found a bug in the library we wrote for Sodbeans to 
communicate with JAWS. Unfortunately, I have not tested it with JAWS 9 
personally. Does JAWS work correctly throughout the entire tutorial, or does it 
always stop speaking when you close the tutorials window? One thing you should 
try is going to the Tools menu, navigating to the "Text to Speech" submenu and 
selecting "Reset Speech Engine." Hopefully, this will get JAWS speaking again. 
I believe this is linked to the keyboard shortcut CTRL+F1, but I am not 100% 
sure on that.

If you're in a rush, your Mac should work well as our VoiceOver compatibility 
is much better than our JAWS compatibility, so hopefully it won't give you any 
problems.

Jeff.

  Hi all,

  I've downloaded and installed the latest Sodbeans, read the tutorials and 
ready to get started.  However, once I've pressed escape twice to get rid of 
the tutorials windows everything goes silent including jaws.

  I'm using Windows XP with Jaws 9 and have the java access bridge installed 
for use with other software.

  So can anyone help?

  Is there a better version of Sodbeans and some tutorials somewhere to cope 
with any differences?  I also have a Macc running Snow Leopard and could use 
that yet again, I would like to have tutorials to hand.

  Desperately in need of assistance

  Roger
