J-Say 22 is Released!

 

开云体育

J-Say version 22 is now available, even before the new JAWS 2024 has been released. Those people who have an SMA should be starting to receive their new version as of this morning.

J-Say Version 22

 

开云体育

I am reliably informed that JAWS 2024 will be released tomorrow.

We are on target for a J-Say release to support it.

?

If you have a J-Say SMA which is current, and we’ve discussed that here recently, by the end of the week you should receive an Email containing the details of the download.

If you haven’t heard from me by that point, you should be getting in touch.

?

As I’ve discussed in previous years, some distributors will not let us have the contact details for an individual user. If you think they may not have done, and you have an SMA, you should send your JAWS serial number to:

brian@...

?

That’s always the quickest way of obtaining an upgrade in any case. That’s the method we use for verifying who should have what.

?

As a reminder, please do not try installing your current J-Say version 21 into JAWS 2024. It’s not going to work and you will be wasting your time. The new version is required. If you would like to purchase an upgrade, that can be done from our web site or feel free to contact us.

?

Finally, if you need an appointment to install JAWS 2024 or J-Say for you, please let me know. I have set aside all usual work and devoted the whole week to these upgrades. So I am available if you need help.

?

The primary purpose of this release of J-Say is to provide full compatibility with JAWS version 2024. Previous releases of JAWS are supported.
This has required a large number of internal changes including within the Dragon Correction box. Every effort has been made to test all aspects of the product with JAWS 2024.
this is the initial release of a new J-Say version with plenty As usual to come in 2024.

A number of features were added during this year, including many enhancements for use with Windows11. Every voice command was modified to take account of changes in Windows11.

J-Say 22.0 now supports Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 16. Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 15 series will continue to be supported for some time to come.

If you have J-Say 21 installed, you can install any update over the top of the existing installation. You do not need to uninstall the previous version first.

The following global voice commands are available for the JAWS Face In View feature:

Start Face in View.
Stop Face in View.
Face in View Description.
Face in View Brightness.
Face in View Picture Smart.
Face in View confidence.
Next Camera.
Previous Camera.

There is now one single installer so as to support J-Say for use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 15.3, 15.6 and 16.

The voice command, “Check Microphone”, now functions with all builds of Windows10 and Windows11.

The command, “Get Latest Version”, will cause the latest update to J-Say to be downloaded. A Dialog Box will then be brought into view to confirm that the installation should proceed.
This option can also be accessed through the “Configuration Wizard”, Grave Accent then W.

When using the “Move Up” and “Move Down” commands inside an Outlook message, JAWS should no longer speak the focused line twice.

The commands “Move Up” and “Move Down” should now report the focused cell reference and data in an Excel Workbook.

Commands to manipulate Braille displays by voice should now be working again.

The command “Be Quiet” once again works within Dragon’s Sleep Mode.

Support is available for Dragon 16 when used with Microsoft Teams.
Extensive keyboard support is provided to access Teams more efficiently together with a suite of voice commands. Please consult the Command Summary document relating to Microsoft Teams. Alternatively, for keyboard use, press Insert+H when Teams is focused so as to obtain a list of keyboard shortcuts.
If you are planning to use Teams extensively, we strongly recommend you obtain training in this area from a J-Say Specialist.
To repeat, Teams should not be used with Dragon 15.

Modifications have been made to J-Clips so that they can be used independently of the Windows clipboard.

J-Dictate is Updated

 

开云体育

I know we have a small number of users on this list who are using our J-Dictate product as opposed to J-Say.

J-Dictate has been updated for use with JAWS 2024. This is the first of a number of Hartgen Consultancy product updates to come to support JAWS 2024.

If you have previously purchased J-Dictate, you will have been provided with a link so as to download the product. This same link will download the latest release.

If you wish to use J-Dictate with JAWS 2024, you must use this new version.

If you have no intention of using JAWS 2024, there is no need to update.

Hi Lucy

?

Most importantly, I’m sorry you your hand is not so good and I hope things get better soon.

?

What I will do is send you an invoice and just pay it next week when you are ready. I am actually on holiday next week but can certainly assist you to install it etc straight after then.

J-Say Update

 

开云体育

J-Say 21 has been updated. The commands to move by paragraph when using the JAWS virtual cursor, such as in Email messages and web pages, have been rewritten. An example of such a command would be, Move Down 10 Paragraphs.

Unless anything else significant is reported, the next update to J-Say will be for JAWS 2024. There are new voice commands to add for that.

Re: J-Say Update

What you ought to be able to do is to go to the J-Say configuration wizard with the J-Say key then W, and select the last item, check for updates. I did it this morning to check it worked.

The new version should then come down and you can install it. When the computer restarts thereafter, it will say build 15.

If that does not work for you, please let me know off list.

J-Say has been updated. This is a critical update for people using Windows11. Every one of the thousands of voice commands has been adjusted to take account of a problem which occurs under certain conditions. Previously, there were times when JAWS speech was being cut off when a voice command was spoken. It is suggested that people using Windows11 update to this latest build.

I would like to thank probably the most experienced J-Say user we have, who is a list member, who employed considerable patience in terms of testing while this technique was perfected.

There are some people who need help in updating J-Say. If that is you, please let us know.

There will be one or two further updates to J-Say 21 as and when we learn about problems especially with Windows11 or Dragon 16. But the next major J-Say update will be for JAWS 2024. We now have access to that and the J-Say for it is being worked on now in readiness for its release later this year.

There will be one or two further updates to J-Say 21 as and when we learn about problems especially with Windows11 or Dragon 16. But the next major J-Say update will be for JAWS 2024. We now have access to that and the J-Say for it is being worked on now in readiness for its release later this year.

Re: Issue with profile failing to load when running Dragon Personal Professional with Windows 11

Are you saying you have multiple profiles and you want to run a specific one?

?

In terms of your other query:

As taken from the J-Say user guide:

  1. From the Windows “Settings” Dialog, press “Tab” until you reach the “search” edit field, which is labelled, “Find a Setting.
  2. Into the Edit Field, type “Notifications” and press “Enter”.
  3. Press “Tab” once to reach the list box of results.
  4. Press Down Arrow until you reach “Turn app notifications on or off” and press “Enter”.
  5. Press Tab until you reach the Button labelled “Dragon for Windows, On”. Press the Space Bar to turn it off.

Press ALT+F4 to close the Dialog Box.

Subject: [J-Say] Issue with profile failing to load when running Dragon Personal Professional with Windows 11

?

I am running J-Dictate and Dragon 15 Personal Professional on one of our machines using Windows 11.

I checked the option to load the profile when Dragon runs, but is still not loading.

I am using the latest version of JAWS 2023 with J-Dictate.

Can I upgrade to Dragon 16 and see if that solves the issue?

?

Also, is there a way to reduce speech as dragon loads?

?

Thank you in advance.

Re: What to do if you are using Windows10 and Check Microphone does not work

If you are using the microphone in sleep mode, it could be that Dragon has captured some kind of additional noise and the command was not isolated.

You just may have to say it a couple of times.

There could well be some adjustments to all the J-Say commands coming soon, and that may well help, but that is the likely cause.

Yes. It is the “check microphone“ command I was referring to.

Hi Ross

We are talking here about the command, check microphone. Is this the command which is sometimes working and sometimes not?

?

Regarding Dragon being a little behind the dictation, do you mean that it is taking some time to echo the text back? This could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe Windows is download an update in the background, or it could be that the PC is just being bogged down with doing something else and isn’t processing the dictation fast enough. I hope that you are dictating four or five words at a time, listening back to what is being said, then proceeding onto the next four or five words. This is the best way of getting responsive and consistent echo back.

Hello Brian, I am using Windows 11 and have experienced the intermittent issue of not hearing "microphone on"

Being announced. I have not yet reported because every time it happens, it works again for a while. However, it definitely happens a good percentage of the time. I am also noticing that, intermittently, Dragon will just stall or be very far behind the dictation. Sometimes I need to restart Dragon. Please let me know what you think I should do.

If using Windows10, in some situations the microphone status was not being detected with the Check Microphone command. This only affects some Windows10 machines, not all. Windows11 is fine. The cause of this has not been determined, but as a safeguard, if running Windows10 we are falling back to the older method for detecting this which worked for many years. If using Windows11, we use the new method. You only need to reinstall the product if using Windows10 and this command does not work.

?

You have two choices.

You can download J-Say again using the installer you were provided with upon purchase.

Alternatively, contact Hartgen Consultancy for assistance and the relevant change can be made.
