Re: [all-audio] There's finally a microwave you can control with Alexa, and it just got its first discount
This is definitely a valid point. I had my sighted wife read the code on the back of the door but I also could have used be my eyes or similar service to accomplish that. Perhaps even knfb reader might have done the trick but I took the easy way out. Also, you do not have to press the start button to start the cooking. Alexa does that.

I am glad you clarified these points for me. I am considering getting one of these myself! On 8/31/2018 9:07 AM, Rick Alfaro wrote: This is definitely a valid point.

Re: [all-audio] Introducing myself and a question about the Olympus DM720
I don't know which is which since I bought mine about a year ago, but descriptions of their titles such as "cans," or just "headphones with microphones" might help. Originally Mine cost about $13 and it is unbelievable the sound of the microphones. The "andrea super beam cans," surround the ear, where the headphones sit kind of on top of the ears and don't have the isolation necessary for good binaural sound while listening, but as I said the microphones are the same for both sets. They have probably updated or changed their lines by now. - Curtis Delzer, HS.

Re: [all-audio] VLC 3 keeps saying it crashed
Maybe try their forum. I haven't experienced this problem, nor has anyone else I know. Windows 10 1803, with NVDA and JAWS. Programme works really well, although I was having problems with a long startup time until I installed the very latest update. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Peter Russillo Sent: August 30, 2018 9:44 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: [all-audio] VLC 3 keeps saying it crashed Hello, I downloaded VLC the latest version on my Windows 10 Pro laptop, running System Access as my screen reader; each time I open any music file to play it, I get the message Oops, VLC Media Player has crashed; do you want to send a crash report to the developers?

Hi, Try removing it including cache and settings from control panel. Then reinstall.
