Ah, nope, the problem isn't missing brackets. Some lines wrapped when I pasted that script, and I didn't notice. Here's the same script without wrapped lines, at least I'm not letting them wrap at this end... script sayBatteryLevel() var handle hwnd if !isSameScript() then performScript sayBatteryLevel() return endIf let hwnd = findTopLevelWindow("SystemTray_Main", "") if hwnd then let hwnd = getLastWindow(getFirstChild(hwnd)) ; Dialog containing details let hwnd = getFirstChild(hwnd) while hwnd && !stringContains(getWindowName(hwnd), "%") let hwnd = getNextWindow(hwnd) endWhile if stringContains(getWindowName(hwnd), "%") then ; Say total remaining battery power percentage, even if on AC power. sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(hwnd)) ; Then say "AC Power" or "Batteries" to indicate which is in effect. sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(getNextWindow(hwnd))) endIf let hwnd = getLastWindow(hwnd) ; Time remaining sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(hwnd)) return endIf performScript sayBatteryLevel() endScript On Sat, May 24, 2008 at 08:55:52AM +1000, Scott Erichsen wrote: Doug, The code you sent doesn't compile and I cant figure out why.

It lets a single SayBatteryLevel (Shift+JAWSKey+B) command run the original JAWS code but runs custom code if you type the command twice quickly. I wrote this a while back for myself because sometimes JAWS is unable to find the battery information on my laptop. It will attempt to say three things, in this order: Percentage of battery power remaining even if running on AC, then current power source (AC Power or batteries), then time remaining ("unknown" when on AC power generally). script sayBatteryLevel() var handle hwnd if !isSameScript() then performScript sayBatteryLevel() return endIf let hwnd = findTopLevelWindow("SystemTray_Main", "") if hwnd then let hwnd = getLastWindow(getFirstChild(hwnd)) ; Dialog containing details let hwnd = getFirstChild(hwnd) while hwnd && !stringContains(getWindowName(hwnd), "%") let hwnd = getNextWindow(hwnd) endWhile if stringContains(getWindowName(hwnd), "%") then ; Say total remaining battery power percentage, even if on AC power. sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(hwnd)) ; Then say "AC Power" or "Batteries" to indicate which is in effect. sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(getNextWindow(hwnd))) endIf let hwnd = getLastWindow(hwnd) ; Time remaining sayMessage(OT_User_Requested_Information, getWindowName(hwnd)) return endIf performScript sayBatteryLevel() endScript On Fri, May 23, 2008 at 12:18:35PM +0300, Can K?rca wrote: hi friends, I'm using jaws 9.0 and turkish version windows. the jaws that I'm using doesn't say the battery state. when i try to make it say, jaws says; "battery status not found" what shall i do? i would be glad if you could help me.
