Re: [Blind-Computing] Text to speech software?
Thanks for this link but I'll review it tomorrow. I download all files to desk top in folder named downloads I downloaded the following NVDA files: Anvda_2010.2_portable.exe nvda_slave.exe I entered on the portable file and forgot to unload Jaws. I unload Jaws but I cannot find NVDA folder in add remove or under C:\program files\nvda...

[Blind-Computing] sticky keys
hello i have tested sticky keys. it appears to be ok although i did notice 2 things 1 it does not produce a beep sound when pressing the insert key this is both the zero key on the numeric keypad and the insert key in the 6 pack above the navigation keys. i went to options and can find no check box to turn the tone on or off for this key. it does however produce the beep sound on the other keys i tried it on these were alt control shift and the character required to work in conjunction with the command keys listed. i am still using it in the press shift key 5 times mode for now 2 when i press control insert v to find out a version the beeps work for keys other than the insert key but the program still tells me the version of the program i am using apart from 2 that is 1 is tom Lorimar website and the other is skype talking 9 i can get the version for skype but not skype talking would this be because i launch skype talking from the skype command and not skype talking itself? but for now how do i put a check mark so that the insert key produces an audible beep thank you Yvonne For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: blind-computing-ow...@jaws-users.com

Re: [Blind-Computing] Text to speech software?
Oh, yes, and not too relevant to all, but another reason I use NVDA for some things is it's built in/easy to make use of support for some other languages, since while I can tell jaws to create other speech profiles, making use of some of the eSpeak voices, for example, it just doesn't seem as stable, so often enough, when I want to do something like quickly scan some content in a language like Afrikaans, I just switch over to NVDA, switch it to that language, and there you go...

Re: [Blind-Computing] Text to speech software?
Installing NVDA is pretty straightforward. Once NVDA has been downloaded and saved, the set-up and installation are self-voicing, which means that you can unload JAWS. Before you do anything, I suggest listening to a very good audio tutorial on installing and using NVDA that is a few years old but still useful.

The portable version just extracts to a folder that you can then copy wherever, while the install will send it to program files, but I generally prefer the portable one.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Text to speech software?
Yes, JAWS will still be your default screen reader when you turn on your computer. To switchc from JAWS to NVDA, just unload JAWS with Insert-F4 and launch NVDA using a hot key like Alt-Control-N. Of course you can create a desktop icon for NVDA so that you can go into its Properties dialog to create such a hot key. When you want to switch back to JAWS from NVDA, press Insert-Q to close NVDA and press Alt-Control J to relaunch JAWS. I do this all the time. Sometimes,if I can't get JAWS to launch with speech, I use NVDA to access the Start menu so that I can restart my computer and restore JAWS to normal.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Text to speech software?
hello Gerald thank you for replies to save clutter of traffic i will answer both now 1 n v d a, you have a point there so i shall go ahead and install n d v . a then if disaster strikes with jaws like you said i will still have a screen reader and of course i can always delete it if not to my liking. but if it takes no room at all and does no harm while not in use then i may as well leave it there. i do pose one question though when i restart my computer will jaws still be the default reader? and how do i switch from one to the other and back again. do i have to restart the computer each time for example restart once to get jaws restart again to get n d b a and restart a third time to get back to jaws? 2 sticky keys i thought that was what it was but needed to make sure first of all hopefully it is not too slow i only really want it for use on skype talking 9 for such things as preference changes reading of voicemail and things like changing mood text and online status so no real need to be extra fast there thank you for your help - Original Message - From: "Gerald Levy" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 6:57 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Text to speech software?

Find the NVDA folder & press enter to open. 5. Press the letter U, until you have " Uninstall.exe " highlighted/selected, & press enter to uninstall. The other way to uninstall is. 1.

Re: [Blind-Computing] sticky keys
You pretty much summed it up. The sticky key feature is really designed for people with limited finger mobility who have difficulty pressing multiple keys at the same time. The advantage is that you can press one key at atime. The disadvantage is that this is slower than pressing multiple keys at a time. Try it and see if you like it. If not, just press the Shift key five times to turn off sticky keys and return the keyboard to normal.

Re: [Blind-Computing] keyboard modification
hi mike that did not work either however a thought has just come to mind either you or someone else said that i had to press the caps lock key twice to perform some functions i only pressed it once when trying to open the attachment could this possibly be why it did not work? anyway i found the way to set the zero key back to the numeric keypad as the jaws key so i have gone back to that i think the attachments may open now i will give it another try and let you know if this is ok then have one problem sorted - Original Message - From: "Mike & Barbara In Arcadia" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] keyboard modification Hi Yvonne; If the insert key on your number pad isn't working correctly, & you trying to use this key to open your attachments, that is probably why your attachments aren't opening.

Re: [Blind-Computing] attachments in outlook express
And, if you tab around the email message, or try something like alt + 6 twice to focus on subject, and then tab once, which should normally land you in the attachments list, what happens...? Alternatively, it's possible your attachments are being blocked by your anti-virus, or outlook express itself. For OE, in tools menu, options, on something like the security page, there's an item somewhere there to make it block attachments if it thinks they might not be safe, and you could try turning that one off, tab to and hit space bar on ok button, and then maybe just close outlook express, and restart it to see if the attachments are still being hidden.
