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

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.
