Re: [Blind-Computing] Excellent DVD Player!
The context menu, and normal menus work fine in 0.86, but, yes, in 1.1 that downloaded just now, they don't seem to be really usable at all...

Want an accessible DVD and media player? Look no further than VLC Media Player! You can select what part of the DVD you want to play simply by using the VLC Media Player menus. No inaccessible DVD menu to navigate; just select what you want from the user interface. You can even select an audio described track if you have one. You can download this free and open source program from www.videolan.org. It even works with Windows 7 so you don't have to use Windows Media Player, which is good but does not have an accessible DVD player.

Re: [Blind-Computing] reading with the mouse
Yes, Magic and ZoomText can allow you to point to text and have it spoken out. If you do not need screen enlargement, take a look at products put out by Premier Software at URL: Readingmadeeasy.com I think there is another product called Text to Speech. These are both products that are designed for people who have learning disabilities. Another product to check out in this same category is WynnWizard from Freedom Scientific.

First key on the left is your num lock key, this turns your number pad on / off. 2. The 2nd key from the left is the slash key. It is called the num pad slash key by keyboard help. This key is the same as clicking the left mouse button. 3. The 3rd button from the left is the star key.

It is on the top row of your number pad. Here is how your top row of your number pad is layed out from left to right. 1. First key on the left is your num lock key, this turns your number pad on / off. 2. The 2nd key from the left is the slash key. It is called the num pad slash key by keyboard help. This key is the same as clicking the left mouse button. 3. The 3rd button from the left is the star key. It is called the num pad star key by keyboard help. pressing this key is the same as clicking the right mouse button. 4. The 4th / last key from the left is the minus key. It is called num pad minus by keyboard help. This key activates the Jaws cursor. Hope this has helped. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] Intermittent Sound On Youtube
Hi listers. Lately, I have been experiencing intermittent sound on Youtube.com. Whenever I listen to a song or video, the sound will start playing for about 20 seconds, then pause for about 5 seconds, then resume playing for another 20 seconds or so, then pause again and so on. I experience this problem with both IE 8 and Firefox 3.6.9 using XP Pro and JAWS 9. Once in a while, a selection will play from beginning to end without interuption, but this is uncommon. For a song that lasts two and a half minutes, there will typically be three or four interruptions. Has anyone else experienced this problem and have any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Excellent DVD Player!
I think all VLC users and potential users should send an email to VLC to let them know it is great software, but it's accessibility is not consistent between versions. Let them know which versions work reasonably well and which versions are useless. In VLC, the interface seems to be architected to be separated from the functionality. I think they have several interface skins that they switch around and tinker with for each release. For our community, it would be nice if they provided an accessible skin that stayed accessible and probably consistent in each version. Of course, there needs to be an easy way to select the accessible interface. Do you have a copy of the accessible 0.8 version available to share if it is not on the standard download webpage? Posting a link to a file in your DropBox or SendSpace.com would work.

[Blind-Computing] daily tip
I know that this does not pertain to many of us, myself included but somebody out there must use screen magnification. *** Daily Tip: Font Size On-The-Fly When you're working on a document, it can be tedious to constantly have to adjust font sizes manually. Or perhaps you're working on a project with various types and sizes of fonts and need a way to quickly compare sizes. Whatever your needs, you can easily increase or decrease font sizes in Microsoft Office applications. Highlight the text and press CTRL-SHIFT-< to make the font smaller and CTRL-SHIFT-> to make the font larger.

My wife has the latest version of Openbook. Can someone send me a quick guide for her. She doesn't have the time to sit and read the entire website. Specifically, how do you open a file? She has files in there that she wants to put into folders and it won't let her do it. She doesn't know the new menu structure. I don't either for that matter.

[Blind-Computing] creating powerpoint presentation on blindness, what about windows movie maker?
Hay guys, I am creating a powerpoint presentation on blindness for meet the blind month in October. I was wondering if anyone has or know where I can get a hold of the logo of the NFB with the outline of the person with a long white cane. I wanted to use it when talking about the NFB. I could not find it on their site anymore and there used to be a stock photo somewhere but cant find it either! I thought of scanning my pen with kurwzeil1000 but, it look distorted. Any ideas? Also I wanted to know if any has experience with windows movie maker for presentations? I listen to one while in school and wondered if it was easier than jaws with powerpoint? Apparently you can do voice over for the presentation instead of trying to remember what the slides are.
