This
Document is a brief guide to the use of magnification and screen reading
software commonly used by visually impaired people. Demonstrations of these are
on the CDROM mentioned in the Reference section of the website. More
information can be found in the Help once an aid is installed.

WindowEyes
Do not try to run more than one of these software aids at a time,
(except for the standard Microsoft Magnifier, which can be run with JAWS or
HAL) otherwise the PC will lock up or, at best, the products will not function
properly.
This
is the standard Microsoft magnifier.
Click
on the Magnifier icon in task bar to change settings or close it down (Exit
button).
Double
Click on the icon in the system tray or start the JAWS Configuration program.
Left
Ctrl key stops JAWS jawing!
BottomOfFile
use CTRL+END. If the active item is an edit box, the caret or focus moves to
the end of the open document. Otherwise, moves to the bottom of the current
control. This is the Windows command for moving the cursor to the bottom of the
file, if supported by the application.
CloseListBox
use ALT+UP ARROW. Closes a list box. However, when in an edit control, moves to
and says the prior sentence.
ControlDownArrow
use CTRL+DOWN ARROW. This script depends on the application and the current
item. In some edit windows it moves to the next paragraph. In some list boxes
or list views, it moves the focus down without removing the selection in order
to select non-contiguous items.
ControlUpArrow
use CTRL+UP ARROW. Depends on the application and the current item. In some
edit windows it moves to the prior paragraph. In some list boxes or list views,
it moves the focus up without removing the selection in order to select non-contiguous
items.
JAWSCursor
use NUM PAD MINUS. The JAWS cursor is similar to the mouse pointer. If pressed
twice quickly, the Invisible cursor is activated.
JAWSEnd
use END. Depends on which cursor is active. For example, this keystroke moves
the active JAWS cursor or Invisible cursor to the right edge of the active
window. The PC cursor tracks the application cursor and is active by default in
most applications. Pressing END moves the insertion point to the end of a line
when an edit field and often places the selection on the last item when in a
list view, tree view, or edit combo box.
JAWSFind
use CTRL+INSERT+F. Opens a Find dialog box that allows you to enter text or
graphics in order to search the current screen area. Search for graphics by
entering the text label of the graphic. Use the Find or Search feature in an
application for more extensive searches.
JAWSFindNext
use INSERT+F3. Searches the current screen for the next instance of the text or
graphic last entered in the JAWS Find dialog. Use the application's Find or
Search feature for more extensive searches.
JAWSHome
use HOME. Depends on which cursor is active. For example, this keystroke moves
the active JAWS cursor or Invisible cursor to the left edge of the active
window. The PC cursor tracks the application cursor and is active by default in
most applications. Pressing HOME moves the insertion point to the beginning of
a line when in an edit field and often places the selection on the first item
when in a list view, tree view, or edit combo box.
JAWSPageDown
use PAGE DOWN. Moves the JAWS cursor, if active, to the bottom of the active
window, but does not move left or right. The result is controlled by the
application.
JAWSPageUp
use PAGE UP. Moves the JAWS cursor, if active, to the top of the active window,
but does not move left or right. The result is controlled by the application.
JAWSWindow
use INSERT+J. Moves focus to the JAWS user application window and activates a
context menu allowing the user to select JAWS menu items.
Note:
This keystroke does not operate if you have elected to run JAWS from the System
Tray. In this case, use INSERT+F11 to open the Select A System Tray Icon dialog
and choose JAWS from the list.
ListTaskTrayIcons
use INSERT+F11. Opens the Select a System Tray Icon dialog box. After selecting
the desired icon from the system tray, you can act on the icon by tabbing
through and choosing a button representing the left, right, or left
double-clicking of a mouse button.
MinimizeAllApps
use INSERT+F6. Minimizes all application windows. The desktop gains the focus
and is not obscured by any open windows. An alternative keystroke is WINDOWS
LOGO KEY+M.
NextDocumentWindow
use CTRL+TAB. Use to switch between document windows or group windows. Also
switches between the different page tabs in multi-page dialog boxes.
OpenListBox
use ALT+DOWN ARROW. Usually opens a list. When in an edit control, moves to and
says the next sentence.
PassKeyThrough
use INSERT+3. JAWS does not use or process the key following this keystroke. It
is sent directly to the application, as if JAWS were not loaded. This is very
useful if you have a key conflict.
PreviousDocumentWindow
use CTRL+SHIFT+TAB. Use to switch between document windows or group windows.
Also switches between the different page tabs in multi-page dialog boxes.
RestrictJAWSCursor
use INSERT+R. Restricts JAWS cursor movement to a particular window. Turn
restrictions on when you want to read only within a particular window or
control, and turn restriction off when you need to read all around the screen.
RouteJAWSCursorToPc
use INSERT+NUM PAD MINUS. Routes the JAWS cursor or the Invisible cursor, if it
is active, to the location of the PC cursor.
RoutePCCursorToJAWS
use INSERT+NUM PAD PLUS. Routes the PC cursor to the location of the JAWS cursor.
The PC cursor is controlled by the application and it usually cannot go
everywhere in the window, as the JAWS cursor can.
TopOfFile
use CTRL+HOME. If the active item is an edit box, the caret or focus moves to
the beginning of the open document. Otherwise, moves to the top of the current
control. This is the Windows command for moving the cursor to the top of the
file, if supported by the application.
TypingEcho
use INSERT+2. Sets the level of typing echo, moving through three choices:
Characters, Words, or None. Characters speaks each character as you type. Word
speaks the complete word when you press the SPACEBAR. None indicates no typing
echo.
UpALevel
use ESC. In menus, this script closes the menu and places the focus on the Menu
bar. In combo list boxes, this script exits the combo list box and returns
focus to the combo box without making a selection. This script also closes a
Context menu. Windows command.
WindowClassReassign
use INSERT+7. Gets the class of the current window and lets you equate it to a
known class so JAWS can speak it properly. May also be adjusted using the JAWS
Configuration Manager.
NOTE:
Where Possible, the necessary code has been implemented in applications
containing HTML tables, spreadsheets or datasheets so that the standard default
table reading Keystrokes will work universally. This means that the same
keystrokes can be used to navigate tables, regardless of which application you
are currently in.
ALT+CTRL+NUM
PAD5 reads the cell containing the virtual cursor along with associated row and
column headings.
ALT+CTRL+RIGHT
ARROW moves to and reads the same cell in the next column along with the column
heading.
ALT+CTRL+LEFT
ARROW moves to and reads the same cell in the prior column along with the
column heading.
ALT+CTRL+DOWN
ARROW moves to and reads the same cell in the next row along with the row
heading.
ALT+CTRL+UP
ARROW moves to and reads the same cell in the prior row along with the row
heading.
CTRL+NUMPAD5
is now used to read the current paragraph.
ReadWordInContext
use INSERT+C. Sometimes a word must be reviewed in its context to see if it is
spelled or used correctly. Use this script in the Spell Check or Find dialog,
or when performing a search-and-replace for specific text or items.
SayActiveCursor
use ALT+DELETE. Says the name of the active cursor and its position by pixel.
SayAll
use INSERT+DOWN ARROW. If the PC cursor is active, JAWS scrolls the screen by
moving the PC cursor down. If the JAWS cursor is active, the rest of the window
is read by moving the JAWS cursor down a line at a time, if reading manually.
SayAppVersion
use CTRL+INSERT+V. Useful if you are running multiple versions of an
application.
SayBottomLineOfWindow
use INSERT+PAGE DOWN. The bottom line is usually the status line of the active
window.
SayCharacter
use NUM PAD 5. Reads the character or graphic symbol at the active cursor. If
the PC cursor is active, JAWS looks for the visible caret or the light bar. If
the JAWS cursor is active, it speaks the character or graphic at the mouse
pointer. Press twice for phonetic spelling.
SayColor
use INSERT+5. Says the color of the text at the active cursor position. This
script uses the values indicated in COLORS.INI to define the colors from the
RGB values. If you hear numbers instead of colors, add a corresponding entry to
the COLORS.INI file and define its color.
SayCurrentHotKey
use CTRL+SHIFT+H. Says the underlined letter in the name or prompt for the
current item in a dialog box or window. Use this letter with the ALT key to
choose that item, even when it does not have the focus.
SayCursorType
use CTRL+INSERT+SHIFT+C. Speaks the type of mouse pointer, which indicates what
the mouse is capable of doing at the current location. For example, if the JAWS
cursor is active and the mouse pointer shape is a hand pointing to a link,
clicking the left mouse button opens the item at the mouse pointer.
SayDefaultButton
use INSERT+E. Dialog boxes usually have a button, such as Okay or No, that is
set as the default. This button represents the function that will be performed
when you press the ENTER key, unless focus has moved to another button. Use
this script to determine which function will be performed.
SayDriveLetter
- Keystroke not assigned. Says the name of the disk drive or network drive that
has the focus in Windows Explorer in order to provide the correct drive letter.
SayFont
use INSERT+F. Says the font style name and character size. Also speaks the
attributes such as bold, underline, and italics.
SayFrame
no keystroke assigned. A frame is not valid unless certain things about it are
true, such as the name of its real window, the class of its real window, and
the search string, if any.
SayFrameAtCursor
use INSERT+X. All text within the boundaries of the frame that contains the
active cursor is spoken.
SayFromCursor
use INSERT+PAGE UP. Says the text from the cursor to the end of the line,
including the current character.
SayLine
use INSERT+UP ARROW. If the PC cursor is active, reading is restricted to the
current item or window. Otherwise, reading includes all the text on
approximately the same line, even if it is outside the current control or window,
unless JAWS cursor restriction is on.
SayNextCharacter
use RIGHT ARROW. Moves to and reads the next character.
SayNextLine
use DOWN ARROW. Moves to and says the next line.
SayNextParagraph
is called by CTRL+DOWN ARROW. Moves to and reads the next paragraph.

and Next. Just keep pressing the CTRL+INSERT+F2 to hear the window classes.
SaySystemTime
use INSERT+F12. Says the time on the taskbar. If pressed twice quickly, says
the date.
SayTextAndAttributes
use ALT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW. Reads the visible text in the active window without
moving the cursor. As it passes over changes in attributes, they are announced.
SayToCursor
use INSERT+HOME. Says the text from the start of the line up to the cursor, not
including the current character.

the type of the window, and the text in the window.
SayWindowTitle
use INSERT+T. Says the application title, dialog box title, and item with

SayWord
use INSERT+NUM PAD 5. Reads the word or graphic symbol at the active cursor. If
the PC cursor is active, JAWS looks for the visible caret or the light bar. If
the JAWS cursor is active, it speaks the word or graphic at the mouse pointer.
If pressed twice quickly, the word at the active cursor is spelled.
ScreenEcho
use INSERT+S. Sets the level of screen echo, moving through three choices:
Highlighted, All, or None. Highlighted is the default, speaking only
highlighted text when it appears on the screen. All speaks all of the text that
written to the screen. None indicates no screen echo.
AltLeftMouseClick
use ALT+NUM PAD SLASH. Unselects all previously selected items and selects the
item that was chosen.
ControlLeftMouseClick
use CTRL+NUM PAD SLASH. Provides a method for selecting non-contiguous items.
For example: selecting non-contiguous items in a list view.

AddressBar
use INSERT+A. Reads the Address bar while maintaining the place on the page so
you can be in two places at once. Pressing INSERT+A twice quickly will move the
JAWS cursor to the address bar. ALT+D an Internet Explorer 5 keystroke selects
the text on the Address bar. Either type in a new address, copy or cut and
paste to the clipboard.
FocusToFirstField
use CTRL+INSERT+HOME. Moves to the first input field in the page and speaks it.
If no form field is found, JAWS reports, “Input field not found.” This
keystroke is effective in both Virtual PC cursor mode and non Virtual PC cursor
mode. Press NUM PAD SLASH or ENTER to activate forms mode.

no form field is found, JAWS reports, “Input field not found.” This keystroke
is only effective Virtual PC cursor mode.
FocusToPriorField
use CTRL+INSERT+SHIFT+TAB. Moves to the prior input field in the page and
speaks it. If no form field is found, JAWS reports, “Input field not found.”
This keystroke is only effective Virtual PC cursor mode.
FocusToLastField
use CTRL+INSERT+END. Moves to the last input field in the page and speaks it.
If no form field is found, JAWS reports, “Input field not found.” This
keystroke is only effective Virtual PC cursor mode.
MoveToNonLinkText
use INSERT+ENTER. Moves the focus to the next block of non-link text that is
larger than 25 characters.
Note: This value can be adjusted in the default.jcf
or browseui.jcf (Internet Explorer 5) JAWS configuration files under Set
Options\HTML.
RefreshScreen
use INSERT+F5. If the virtual cursor is active, and screen tracking for the
virtual cursor is off, this will bring the area of the screen with the virtual
cursor in it into view. Using just F5 is an Internet Explorer keystroke, which
will refresh the screen.
Note: There are differences between refreshing and
updating a screen.
SaySelectedLink
use INSERT+TAB. Says the focused link or control. If in a dialog, speaks the
current control. If in a Web page, announces the link or control with focus.

Laptop Keyboard Layout |
Below are
the Microsoft Windows keyboard keystrokes that require the use of the Windows
Logo and Application keys.
Minimize
all Open Windows use WINDOWS LOGO KEY+M. Keyboard focus goes to the last
recently selected icon on the desktop. Add SHIFT to expand previously opened
windows and return focus to the most recently used application.
Open
the Start Menu located on the Taskbar use WINDOWS LOGO KEY or CTRL+ESC.
Open
Windows Explorer use WINDOWS LOGO KEY+E. Can also be opened through Program in
the Start menu.
Open
the Find: All Files Dialog Box use WINDOWS LOGO KEY+F. Can also be opened
through Find in the Start menu.
Open
the Run Dialog Box use WINDOWS LOGO KEY+R. Can also be opened through Run in
the Start menu.
Open
the System Properties Dialog Box use WINDOWS LOGO KEY+BREAK (on the function
key row, above the Page Up key). This can also be opened through Systems in
Control panel.
Open
the Find Computer Dialog Box use WINDOWS LOGO KEY+CTRL+F. Can also be opened
through Find in the Start menu.
Open
the Shortcut Menu for the Active Item use the APPLICATION KEY (same as the
right mouse click). This can be selected text, a toolbar button, a taskbar
button, or other item.
Note:
WINDOWS LOGO KEY+NUMBER is reserved for use by computer manufacturers.
For
anyone who cannot use a mouse, they will need to navigate around Windows using
only the keyboard.
For example, starting a program is: Windows Logo Key,
arrow down to programs (or hit P), arrow up to desired program, press enter...
Look for
the underlined letters in the menus!
Also
look out for shortcut keys shown in the menus, e.g. Ctrl O (open file), Ctrl P
(print).
Use
space bar to select an item from a list.
Use
the TAB key to navigate around a window. Press ENTER to action a selected
button.
The
choice of scanner is critical for someone who cannot use a mouse. Some scanners
come with software that requires use of a mouse (e.g. Mustek) and, although it
is sometimes possible to navigate using more obscure Jaws keys, it is generally
better to use scanners that have standard windows – Hewlett Packard are
(currently) OK.
