How to stop drivers when not in use
14
Vispero tech support suggested this strategy for reducing the problems I experience assigning different JAWS voice profiles to different programs and constantly switching between them. I called Vispero twice to get this straight, but I can¡¯t get to the last step they suggested. The gist is this: Open Device Manager. Tab over to the list of drivers. Go down to ¡°Universal Serial Bus Controllers¡± and press the right arrow key to open. Go through each item in the resulting list and do the following: Press the applications key on the list item and arrow up to ¡°Properties.¡± Now for the question: Somewhere in properties is supposed to be an option to stop the device when not in use. I can¡¯t find it. Does anyone know where it is?

How to install Dec-Talk usbdrivers correctly:
I have an idea regarding how to install Dec-Talk drivers correctly, and to cause Dec-Talkk to work. I sent this suggestion to the wrong list for which I apologize. I hope this is the correct list to which to send my suggestion. My idea is this. Install Jaws version 17 If there is a list of synthesizers from which to choose in the custom install area, and the Dec-Talk usb synthesizer is there, you know the drivers would be installed when the instalation is complete. Dec-talk might be run. after the installation, try running Dec-Talk using the version of Jaws you prefer. See whether it solves the problem. I am no computer geneus as some other people are who are on these lists; but I think this idea just might work.

FW: [JFW-Users] How to stop drivers when not in use
Update. I got Perplexity.AI to answer, at least partially, my questions, as follows: The absence of the "Power Management" tab in Device Manager on Windows 11 is a common issue, and it can be caused by several factors related to system configuration, device drivers, and specific Windows features. Note. Among these reasons are sleep mode, defective drivers and other issues that don¡¯t apply to my system, as well as other factors I don¡¯t pretend to understand. Power Management in Windows 11: Is It Unwise to "Stop" a Device While Not Being Used? Allowing Windows 11 to "stop" (turn off) a device to save power can help conserve energy, especially on laptops, but it can also introduce issues such as device disconnections, interruptions in data transfers, or problems with device wake functionality. Whether it is unwise depends on your specific needs and the type of device. From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2025 6:22 AM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [JFW-Users] How to stop drivers when not in use William, Thanks for these directions. What they establish is that Power Management is not an option in Device manager on my system. I have no idea why. I expect I¡¯ll be asked which version of windows 11 I¡¯m running. It¡¯s 24H2 (OS Build 26100.4061) Separately, I wonder if you or anyone else has any response to Michael¡¯s comment that he would never resort to this option.

Press Windows + X Arrow to Device Manager Select the device you want to change the power state. Press alt + enter. Press Shift + tab to the General tab. Right arrow to Power Management and tab once. You should see the following: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power Toggle this to what you want and press enter. Note: Some devices will not offer this option. If you are not finding it, that may be the reason why. I hope this helps.

Drivers for Dectalk USB
21
Hi, I purchased a Dectalk USB that arrived yesterday. I learn that I need to download and install drivers for it. However, there¡¯s at least one problem. Vispero issued a warning that I also need to install some Microsoft files: https://support.freedomscientific.com/support/technicalsupport/bulletin/1640. Unfortunately, that Microsoft page says there¡¯s a security vulnerability in these Visual Studio files. Can anyone guide me through this process? Thanks.

Meaning of the Important Folder in Gmail and Strategies for Cleaning Up Folders in Outlook Classic
4
Hi all, I noticed that this message thread had been locked, did not read all the way through so don¡¯t know why it was blocked, but wanted to respond because I think I have answers to both of these questions. My profuse apologies if all the questions were eventually answered and my post is just redundantly beating a dead horse. First, the Important folder in Gmail filters inbox messages to contain only messages sent to you by real human beings and discussion lists you have signed up for. It filters out bulk messages like those sent by commercial entities like retail stores, etc. If you don¡¯t regularly clean out this crap from your inbox, it can be useful. If you delete all these messages, it does not delete from your inbox. I periodically delete all of them. Second, I have a way to clean out folders with large numbers of emails other than deleting one by one. Here is an excerpt from my book in Chapter 4 on Outlook that uses a combination of collapsing groups and arranging messages by sender. The Expand/collapse groups command can be useful for speeding up the process of clearing unwanted messages out of your folders. By default, message lists are expanded. To collapse groups: Press Alt to open the Upper ribbon, and Right arrow to the View tab. Tab to the Expand/collapse groups submenu (the shortcut is Alt V E) and press Enter. The four submenu choices are: Collapse this group, Expand this group, Collapse all groups, and Expand all groups. Down arrow to Collapse all groups and press Enter. How collapsed groups appear depend on how they are initially sorted. If sorted by date and today happens to be Tuesday, collapsed groups are listed as follows: today, yesterday, Sunday, last week, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, last month, and older. If you are OK with deleting all messages in a particular folder that are more than one month old, this can be quickly done by Down arrowing to the Older collapsed group, pressing Delete, and then Enter to confirm moving them to the Deleted items or Trash folder. If a message list is initially sorted by sender (See Chapter 4.5 on how to do this), they are collapsed alphabetically with the name of the sender, number of total messages, and number of unread messages in the group indicated. For example, as you Down arrow, you will hear: From: Amazon.com: 6 item(s), 5 unread; From: Andrew Jones: 11 items; and so on. My favorite example concerns a student I had several years ago who had allowed about 20,000 messages to accumulate in his inbox. We first sorted his messages by sender and then collapsed all the groups. He then navigated to the collapsed Facebook group which contained about 8,000 messages. With one or two keystrokes, he moved all those messages to his trash folder. The process took about ten minutes because it takes time to move such a massive number of messages from one folder to another, but that was much better than deleting them one by one. When finished sorting by sender, and/or collapsing all groups, repeat the above steps to return to the default with all groups expanded and sorted by date.

I try to fix a JAWS problem and Narrator goes berserk
4
Hi. Ever since I lost my Dectalk Express, I¡¯ve used different JAWS voices and voice rates, depending on whether I¡¯m in the JAWS cursor, PC cursor, etc., to address my different reading needs. JAWS apparently doesn¡¯t like dispensing favors to more than one voice and voice rate at a time, and so eventually I need to unload and reload it. Sometimes I can¡¯t get it speaking again, so I bring up Narrator. Here¡¯s the problem I hope someone here can help with. In these situations, Narrator doesn¡¯t act normally. For example, I¡¯ll be on the desktop and I¡¯ll press alt-F4 to initiate a PC restart. Narrator announces it doesn¡¯t recognize the keystroke. I need to do a series of workarounds to get the restart process begun. The worst problem is that if I land on my Outlook folder in these circumstances, Narrator starts reading each message over and over. Nothing I do can stop it except pushing the Physical shutdown button on the PC. I imagine calling Vispero and being told to call Microsoft, then calling Microsoft and being told to call Vispero. So before setting off on that merry-go-round, I¡¯m hoping someone here has a suggestion or two. Thanks.

Re-sending: Cleaning Out E-mail Folders
38
Re-sending due to no initial response. Tom Behler Hello, everyone. I don¡¯t know if this will be considered off topic for this list, but I thought I¡¯d try, since there are so many knowledgeable people out there. If this is considered off topic, please reply to me personally at: tombehler@... I manage my personal g-mail account through Outlook Classic as part of my Microsoft 365 subscription. I recently Got a notification from Google that my g-mail account space is 50% full. I have three folders that literally contain thousands of messages: My sent folder; my all mail folder; and a folder called important mail. I¡¯d like to clear out these folders to some degree, but am not quite sure how to go about it efficiently. I would be happy to save sent e-mails from the last year or two. I also wouldn¡¯t mind paring my all mail and important mail folders back significantly, but am not sure what the difference is between all mail and important mail. I do have Outlook Classic set to automatically delete e-mails from the server whenever I invoke the delete function and indicate that I¡¯m sure of my deletion step. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you! Tom Behler

Strange JAWS 2025 Behavior in Rich Edit Spaces
4
I'm using JAWS 2025 and the latest version of Chrome. When I'm in a rich edit space in Chrome and editing with JAWS 2025, it reads fine up until the middle or bottom of the document. At the middle or bottom, JAWS will only read part of a word, instead of the whole word, when reading by word. This only happens when I'm editing something I've pasted from another document. Is this happening to anyone else, and how do you fix it?

How to make JAWS Key + F3 do repeat last JAWS Find rather than bringing up the Virtual HTML Viewer?
9
For almost as long as I've been working with JAWS, and only changing recently, one invoked a JAWS Find with JAWS Key + Ctrl + F and then, after having found the first instance, hitting JAWS Key + F3 was JAWS Find Next. This followed the standard find paradigm for web browsers and other things where after doing the initial find with Ctrl + F, the F3 key was find next instance of last thing searched for. Now, suddenly (or so it seems, I honestly have no idea exactly when the change occurred), hitting JAWS Key + F3 brings up the JAWS Virtual HTML viewer, which is not what I want for that shortcut. I wish to maintain the parallel between standard browser find and JAWS Find as it always had been. What I can't seem to locate is where I'd assign JAWS Key + F3 back to being JAWS Find Next. Any assistance appreciated.

Weird Issue with Chrome and JAWS
2
Is anyone else experiencing this? So when you're writing something in Chrome and delete the word under the cursor. JAWS reads the word you just deleted, instead of the next word under the cursor. This happens with the virtual cursor both on and off, and in and out of default mode. Is this a Chrome update issue or a JAWS issue?

Copying TCM movie schedule
3
Occasionally I like to catch a movie on the TCM movie network. I go to the tcm.com website and copy the schedule for coming weeks into a Word file. When I open that file later, it takes time but it opens and JAWS reads what I¡¯ve typed there. However, if another Word file is open when I try to open the TCM Word document, it causes an error and I can¡¯t open the TCM file. This is hardly an important issue. I¡¯m just curious. Would the issue be that what I copy from the TCM website has graphics and that is somehow creating the problem? Any thoughts on this? Don
