What other metro apps are good? On 2/16/2014 11:15, Nimer Jaber wrote: The automatically installed version of skype is accessible ... but it is by no means intuitive to use.

Oh, and it supports touch screens pretty well if you have JAWS 15 or NVDA. Oh, and Narrator is vastly improved to the point where I'd put it on par with VoiceOver ... maybe a tad bit below. But I am able to get by with it as a primary screenreader now, although I don't generally do so -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lillie Pennington Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2014 7:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BTT] Hi all I use 7.

I'm hopeful we get some actual snow, as this fake shit we get here in Alabama that shuts down everything isn't really snow. -- Sent from thunderbird -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blind Teen Talk" group.
