Hidden Notes scripts Read me.

Usage:
You may find yourself in a presenting roll to a group of blind and sighted people alike. You may not want folks to see your outline or class notes via screen share. These scripts will pass the text from your clipboard into a buffer that is sent to the speech synth of JAWS only. You step into Hidden Notes with
Control+shift+` (grave accent).
You step out of hidden notes with,
control+shift+escape.
You copy your notes to the clipboard and then when Hidden Notes is active, press control+shift+n. JAWS reports, “Captured Clipboard Text For Notes”.
You then press control+home to verify you are at the top. Press down arrow to read down a line, and up arrow to read up a line. In this version of the scripts, you may not move by Word or Character.
JAWS will hold your spot when you step out of Hidden notes with control+shift+escape. Your focus also does not move away from the application you are in at any time.
If you are using Hidden Notes to review instructions for a complex website, moving focus to a notepad may step you out of a menu or move your position on the site and you won’t even know it. That’s not something you need worry about with Hidden Notes.

Had the chance to visit Idaho Springs CO a few weeks ago, we visitied the mines and went on the tour, it was a lot of fun.

First here is audio of the miniature hammers on the oar. It is a replica very small version of what was used back in the day.

Finally, we were in the mines, the acoustics/reverb is very cool, of course Binaural so ware headphones. Here is part of the story that the tour guide told, and, your like, uh? Lets, get, out of here!!! Crazy stuff!

Ran a speed test with the contact microphones on the modem. Sorry for a bit of music in the background. Didn’t realize it would transfer through the wall to the dresser to the modem into the mics 🙂 the clicking you hear is the Wi-Fi radios, the hissing is the coax line/data transfer. we’ll start with download speed.

We’ll finish off with upload.

Microphones in general, record sound in front of them, Contact microphones record what they are up against, so to speak, recording as if they are in what they are up against. Here are two samples, the first, eating a Pickle.

The second, drinking, from my throats perspective.

Mic’d, a Braille display with a stereo pair of contact mics. Put the braille display into cleaning mode Definitely gives the tingles! Didn’t expect that.

TaskbarFirstLetterNavigationScriptsWindows11
Written by Andrew Weber. (Drew Weber)

History:

In Windows 10 and previous we could navigate to the Taskbar with Windows+t and use first letter navigation to drive to an open application and press enter to set the application in focus. In Windows 11 we must arrow across the taskbar to find the app we want and press enter once we land on the app. Yes we still have alt+tab which is useful if we are only working with 2 or 3 apps. If we are working with many apps it may be paramount to set focus to an app quickly.
Note! These scripts will only run properly under Windows 11. I may have a version for Windows10 out at some point.

Usage:
we first must have the app open that we want to use. For this example you may launch Notepad from the Run dialogue
Press Windows+r
Type
Notepad
Press enter.
Navigate to the taskbar with Windows+t
Right or left arrow over to the app we want to map to first letter navigation.
Press, control+enter
for example if we are using Notepad as our app to map for focus:
JAWS will announce:
“
Notepad – 1 running window setup for focus. Press windows+t to navigate back to the taskbar, then, control+shift+first letter nav to set mapping.
“
Navigate back to the taskbar with Windows+t
If for example we want to map Notepad to the letter, n, press, control+shift+n. JAWS will announce:
“
Mapping Short Letter Nav, N, to Notepad – 1 running window
“
Now when we are in another app and want to get back to Notepad, all we have to do is
Press Windows+t to drive to the taskbar.
Press N which is setup to Launch Notepad.
JAWS will announce:
“
Notepad – 1 running window Launched
“
Notepad will now be in focus.
In the future I plan on updating these scripts to include numbers 1-0 for first number navigation as well.

Instalation:
From the zip archive, Open the file:
Explorer-JSSTextFileToCopyIntoExplorerDotJSS.txt
Select all with Control+a
Copy to clipboard with control+c
Navigate to your taskbar with Windows+t
Press insert+0 to launch the JAWS Script manager JAWS should report Shared Explorer dot jss
Press control+end to end up at the bottom, make sure you are on a blank line.
Press control+v to paste.
Press control+s to compile and save.
Press alt+f4 to close the script manager.
Navigate to the file
Explorer.JKM
don’t open this file, but rather, press, control+c to copy the file to your clicpboard
Navigate over to the JAWS main window you may find this on your taskbar or in your system tray.
Find the utilities menu and press, x to launch your Explore utilities folder
Press e until you reach, Explore My settings. Press enter
Press control+v to paste in the Explorer.JKM file which is the keyboard map.
Quit and restart JAWS.
Enjoy Your new Scripts!
