Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessible Google Books?
I think generally no, Google books is not accessible. Allegedly some of the Google books pages have an OCR version link which is only detectable by screen readers and is not visible to sighted users. If this exists it is one of the first links you will come across on the page and will be called something like OCR. . In practice though the number of Google books which have this accessible link appear to be tiny and constrained to a few mainstream books. I have never known an academic reference I have needed have this accessible link. In theory you should be able to print the pages to a virtual printer like Kurzweil or Microsoft document Image scanning. In practice I found that Kurzweil 11 produces gibberish whilst even the normally reliable Microsoft option produced only a small amount of readable text . I have had to resort to a support worker typing out the contents of a page in the past. So to sum up I do not rely at all on Google books beyond getting reference information which I then order the physical book from the library to scan. If anybody has had greater success than me in accessing google books then I would be delighted to learn how they did it.

But it is the only product I have found where this is possible! Image for Windows has great technology that allows an accurate image of the disk to be made while Windows and JAWS are still running. To get speech during the recovery process, you must create a bootable live CD or DVD with some flavor of Linux. I downloaded the Virtual Edition of Vinux from http://vinux.org.uk . Vinux is a distribution of Linux configured with screen readers and magnification installed and configured. The Virtual Edition runs within Windows using the free VMware Player to emulate a virtual computer. The virtual disk is just a large file on your Windows system. The Virtual Edition is a great way to play around with Vinux with no risk of harming your Windows setup. To get the total benefit of Vinux, however, you would need to install it on a hard disk. Other safe ways to play with Vinux with no risk are to boot from a live CD (easiest, but no changes can be retained) and a bootable USB pen drive (currently technical difficulties during the creation process). I installed the Image for Linux software that comes with Image for Windows into the Vinux Virtual Edition. After installation, you need to run a setup program. which among other things asks for your Image for Linux product key. At this point, I created a bootable live CD from the Virtual Edition. Unfortunately, I can not simply upload an ISO file that others can use by burning to a CD because of the Image for Linux product key. Hopefully soon I can create a set of directions or a Linux script to make this process easier! I made quite a few mistakes and encountered slight technical issues along the way, it would be nice if others did not need to go through this.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessible Google Books?
Hi I have been practicing with Google Books today. I thought I would report my findings so far. First I search for a fraise,, next I press enter on the link that indicates that the entire book is available. After that there is a link that says plain text. Once a person presses enter on this the page loads with the book in plain text. Yes! It is wonderful. Totally screen reader friendly. Now, if I can only get it to work on the Google book that I actually need, I will have it made.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessible Google Books?
Hi, But what is the site? googlebooks.com? If it is, I don't know how to search for a book, because as I enter a title I am offered to buy it via the amazon.com. So?

Hi I have been practicing with Google Books today. I thought I would report my findings so far. First I search for a fraise,, next I press enter on the link that indicates that the entire book is available. After that there is a link that says plain text. Once a person presses enter on this the page loads with the book in plain text. Yes! It is wonderful. Totally screen reader friendly. Now, if I can only get it to work on the Google book that I actually need, I will have it made.

Microsoft document Image scanning is an option for virtual scan, but as I say Kurzweil is , in my experience, pretty hopeless with google Books and sadly the Microsoft option is only a little better. I think Google books is a genuinely hard access nut to crack. I am not sure that if you try printing the whole web page whether anything will come out which you can physically scan. You could give this a try though.

Re: [Blind-Computing] why am I getting prompted for a password for thispersonalityz?
Hi, Randy, I know what you mean about your head starting to split because that's how I'm feeling about windows messenger. I'm so tired of it coming up every time I try to do email messages, go on the internet or even just go on the desktop. I wish I was able to help you with eudora but I haven't used that program before. One of the reasons I uninstalled thunderbird was it kept asking me for my password--plus it was more complicated than I thought it would be.

Hi marilyn, Actually, it is a good idea to look at RFB but they do not have this book. I am a member of RFB. I would highly recommend them.

Hi, Randy, Glad you're getting the hang of using eudora. Wish I could say I'm doing well in trying to get rid of windows messenger. I'm still practically tearing out my hair with that program.
