With a slightly improved dictionary, and the repair of the broken ability to add words to a User dictionary it would really come in useful.Īlso a basic script so that Jaws announces bold on and off as control b and other formatting changes are made would also update this utility mightily. I wish FS would devote just a little effort to update this utility as I am sure others would find it really useful with a little tweaking. Nevertheless the Spell Checker is like stepping back in time to the easy early Word Spell Checking dialogues and for quick blog checking is I think, still a useful free tool for Jaws The Spell Checker is not modern, a little limited in vocabulary and any attempt to add a word to a User Dictionary results in an error message. This is probably my user error but I never had problems with spell checking in earlier versions of Word and I do get a little lost amongst the mass of Grammar options Word now provides.Īs result I am a little untrusting of Word,, especially for blog posting.įor quick and dirty checking of Blog posts HJPad is an option. I can sort of use it but sometimes it appears to inexplicably miss obvious spelling errors. I find spellchecking in Word office subscription version increasingly un-intuitive. However I think the most valuable aspect to this little word processing utility lays not in format control but it extremely easy and accessible Spell checking functionality. You will need however to use Jaws key plus F to confirm format information changes. It also provide basic formatting with, if you need it bold, underline italics etc. For example control H will bring up the replace dialogue with options for replace all etc. Whilst this is by no means a fully fledge Word Processor in the style of Word many Word shortcuts work here. This utility badly needs updating in other areas also but remains useful. However it is unfortunately showing its age and takes a few seconds to load on my machine, normally after windows reporting a not responding message which then disappears.
This is potentially a very useful utility. I think many people forget that for over a decade now there has been a basic word processor provided with Jaws called HJ Pad.Ĭ:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2020\HJPAD.EXE
