Temporary Clipboard JAWS Scripts, providing you with 5 temp clipboards!

Temporary Clipboard Scripts
Written by Drew Weber.
Usage:
At times we may need to go back and copy the same text into edit fields or documents later in the day, or we may need a sequence of different text for multiple repetitive fields. These scripts allow for five temporary clipboards, accessed by commands and the q w e r t keys representing five clipboards. Note that as the name suggests these are temporary, and will clear with a JAWS restart.
First access the Temp clipboard scripts from anywhere within Windows by pressing control+shift+c. JAWS will announce “
Temp clipboard enabled.”
These scripts stay active for 5 seconds giving you enough time to do what you need to do. After this short window of opportunity the Default Script set is once again enabled, and JAWS will announce,
“Temp clipboard disabled”.
copy to clipboard 1-5 respectively
control+q w e r t
Note that Text needs to first be on the Windows clipboard before copying to one of the temporary clipboards.
paste from clipboards 1-5
q w e r t
Announce the text that is in the clipboards to jog our memmory.
control+shift+q w e r t
JAWS Speech history.
At times it may be easier to get a peace of information from the JAWS speech history than it is to regularly copy a said line of text to the clipboard. The Temporary Clipboard scripts enable you to choose, up from the bottom line which line to copy. from 1-5. After enabling Temp Clipboard with control+shift+c, hit h, to bring up the Choose a line dialogue. This is a simple list view, which you can arrow down and hit enter to make your selection and have the text copied to the Windows clipboard. Note even though this may take longer than the 5 seconds allowed, choosing the line will still cary out the desired result even when the Default script set has been switched back too.

One of the weirder sounds I’ve heard. Something passing.

I don’t know what this was, sounds like a muffler, or running over something, the Doppler effect would make me think of more than just running over something, but I didn’t hear any more parts to the muffler or whatever this was than these three. Very odd!

Win11 NotePad Bandaid JAWS Scripts

Windows11 Notepad Bandaid JAWS scripts.

Usage.
In Win11 when you have not saved a document within the Notepad text editor and press alt+f4, this dialogue seams to be inaccessible, not always properly allowing you to choose the save, or, don’t save buttons. Even more, if you are able to choose Don’t save, a ghost fantom Notepad window will remain on the taskbar and alt+tab list which does not contain a document. The only way to get rid of this is to kill it from the task manager.
These scripts allow one to see three options when pressing alt+f4 from Notepad, in a menu.
save: which presses control+s allowing one to properly save the document before exit.
Don’t save: clears the document and presses alt+f4 which properly closes the document.
Already saved, just exit: assuming the document has been previously saved, presses alt+f4 and properly closes the document.

Instalation
drop the:
notepad.JKM
notepad.jsb
notepad.JSD
into your jaws Settings/Enu directory.
The scripts should now be functional within Notepad. Download Zip below

Mud in the wind, sped up (45 speed) w?t?f?

If Kane Brown, a major label, artist can get away with this, why not me a little independent artist that no one knows about 🙂 as it turns out, it actually sounds cooler than I expected. So, what am I talking about anyway? LoseIt sped up from Kane Brown. Listen here.

https://music.apple.com/us/album/lose-it-sped-up/1658371766?i=1658372056

Everybody better run out and purchase this off of iTunes, because if I have any hunch which I do, it’s probably gonna go away soon it’ll probably be pulled by the label, and then be classified as a collectors item! But that is beside the point. I haven’t truly analyzed lose It, which I will probably do later, but it sounds like it’s just sped up a fourth, from E, to a. Below, which is my song, is played off of a vinyl at 45 speed! And I think if Kane would’ve done that I would probably have a bit more respect for it. ☺️ Lol

Apple Music sing may be an innovative feature, integrating karaoke into the operating system, but, lol!

Apple Music Sing may be an innovative feature, integrating, karaoke, style lyrics into Apple Music, allowing you to process Apple Music tracks, and turn down vocals, https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/apple-introduces-apple-music-sing/ but it’s also pretty funny, to hear voice over speaking the lyrics. They show up and select in real time, so, picture for example, voiceover, wrapping, I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world.

I think the crazy thing is here, that we don’t have to do any audio editing. Voiceover just reads in real time, and it’s trippy, creepy, and hilarious all at the same time!
