Re: [Blind-Computing] Virtual box
Virtual Box creates a virtual computer inside your computer. It may seem like a complicatedd subject, but once you work with the program it's rather intresting. Is Virtual Box created by the Sun Macro systems? If yes, that is the only one that worked for me. VMWare and the rest didn't. --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com - Original Message - From: "Rosemarie Chavarria" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 7:12 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Virtual box Hi, Chris.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Cell phone confusion.
Hello larry. Hopefully I can help you out a bit with this as far as I know it anyways. If you are with a sprint or verizon network, wich is CDMA you have to go with some sort of pocket pc phone and install mobile speak, either the smart phone version or mobile speak pocket for pocket pcs. As was said earlier, if on a gsm network like at&t or t-mobile we have a bit more options and can use talks or the simbion version of mobile speak. Have a look at mobile speaks sight and it has a listing of phones that it will support and what network they work on. - Original Message - From: "Larry Stansifer" To: Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 6:52 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Cell phone confusion.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Cell phone confusion.
Well the LG line of phones does support text messaging. The LGVX 9100 better known as the Envi 2 supports this. It will read aloud any messages you receive. There is a newer model called the LGVX 8600, but don't know what kinds of features it has yet. And no you don't have to change providers. If you are interested in texting, you of course need to upgrade your plan to an unlimited texting one or one that allows a certain amount of texts you can send per month. The plan my wife has up to 500 text messages per month. HTH.

Just press Enter on a city of your choice and wait a short while. All the destination buttons are clearly labeled. The results within the Flash object is not clear, but the results are clearly repeated immediately below the Flash object. Does anyone know the navigation key to quickly get to the end of an object?

One of the most frustrating things for a visually impaired cell phone user is to have some, but not all of the menus, spoken. If someone could develop a way for the cell phone and the PC to be linked so that changes could be made on the cell phone through the screen reader and connecting software on the computer, that would be a break through. Even the best talking cell phones have limitations which Jaws doesn't usually have. Now as for the PC itself, how about developing the technology so that Jaws or another program can read those annoying digital images that are commonly used on many web sites as a security measure. Even the latest version of Jaws cannot read those images and that is incredibly frustrating. You are literally denied access to these sights without vision. So far, as far as I know, no one has developed a completely reliable way to translate those digital images into something we can use. Here's an example. On the Vanguard web site, you have to choose an image which will then be used in any future connections to the site. If you don't choose the correct image, you don't get on the site at all. The images in this example are things like a building, a gate, a tree, etc. How in the name of Heaven can a blind person do that without trying to place a label on these links. I tried that but for security reasons, the images are shown in a random display which means that the building might be at the top of the list, at the bottom or somewhere in between.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Windows 7
If you use VMware and the easy install feature, then providing you enter the product key during the easy install part of the new virtual machine wizard then yes it is possible to install 7 without sighted assistance. Alternatively you can attempt to make an autounattend.xml, but this is time consuming in my view and you have to know XML etc. Another alternative is to first install XP or Vista then run the 7 setup from within Windows.

One of the most frustrating things for a visually impaired cell phone user is to have some, but not all of the menus, spoken. If someone could develop a way for the cell phone and the PC to be linked so that changes could be made on the cell phone through the screen reader and connecting software on the computer, that would be a break through. Even the best talking cell phones have limitations which Jaws doesn't usually have. Now as for the PC itself, how about developing the technology so that Jaws or another program can read those annoying digital images that are commonly used on many web sites as a security measure. Even the latest version of Jaws cannot read those images and that is incredibly frustrating. You are literally denied access to these sights without vision. So far, as far as I know, no one has developed a completely reliable way to translate those digital images into something we can use. Here's an example. On the Vanguard web site, you have to choose an image which will then be used in any future connections to the site. If you don't choose the correct image, you don't get on the site at all. The images in this example are things like a building, a gate, a tree, etc. How in the name of Heaven can a blind person do that without trying to place a label on these links. I tried that but for security reasons, the images are shown in a random display which means that the building might be at the top of the list, at the bottom or somewhere in between. Jaws is a great program but that, it can't do as far as I know.
