Re: JAWS Locking up when I open some messages

I did try the access info newsletter and others from MindVault Solutions.? With NVDA, same thing happens, the speech tends to stop for a bit, then start up again a few seconds later.? It happens on this 13th gen Intel processor, so if you¡¯re planning to get a new computer to circumvent this issue, don¡¯t bother!

HI all,

?

I¡¯ve particularly noticed this recently ¨C it seems like since recent versions of JAWS 2025. It is also hard as it is to find a pattern.

?

but acknowledging Brian¡¯s valid comment, I¡¯ve not tried it with NVDA or Narrator, but it seems so intermittent that if I go to one when it happens, I¡¯m not sure it would replicate and I don¡¯t want to have to use those screen readers very long to see if it might happen.

?

I realize this is possibly at the risk of not solving the problem, But I might see if when it happens it is a more complex email structure, I didn¡¯t think of that.

Regards

Susan

This has been an ongoing problem (that I and numerous others have experienced) for months/years.? I¡¯ve tried many things to resolve the problem, but to no avail.? Unsure if I previously reported the issue to Vispero, I decided to do it now¡­just sent a report about the frequent silences after opening certain messages in Outlook, and also inquired about Outlook locking up/freezing; typically requiring the program to be removed from the Task Manager.? JAWS may not have anything to do with it, but couldn¡¯t hurt to ask.

I Have experienced this as well, seemingly on long messages with lots of content, eventually it does come back though.

Have you had the same issue when using either NVDA or Narrator for the same messages?? That is a first pass diagnostic to decide whether the fault lies with the JAWS screen reader versus Outlook 365.

?

If you can't replicate with a different screen reader (or even if you can) this needs to be reported to Vispero/FS Support.? They'd need to know if it's only happening with JAWS, or with JAWS and any other screen reader or screen readers.
