Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook Express Tool bar partially disappeared
Make sure window is maximised - sounds to me like it has somehow sort of relocated itsself a bit off screen so that only top left corner is appearing on screen, and this is somehow blocking your screen readers interpret\ation/rendition of things like menu systems, formatting (unread messages appear as bold) etc. etc. Just a guess/thought, but make sure - Alt + space bar, followed by X.

Brad, take my word for it, it isn't anywhere near as good as they'd like to think it is. Oh, don't get me wrong. It's a great program but it's difficult to use and because of that, it can be frustrating. I'll bet there's someone on this list who can make it jump through hoops but I have tried at work and we've finally decided to shelve the idea for the time being. I suppose it's what you need from a program that makes the difference, though. The great thing about that company is that they've always tried to improve their product. In another couple of years, it will probably be everything we want it to be. The thing is, Dragon naturally Speaking is not written with a blind user in mind. That makes it a bit tough to navigate.

Re: [Blind-Computing] removing window live essential 2011 on win7
Lenny, WL Sync allows a windows live user to sync their computers and/or devices. I haven't used the program, but if I remember correctly, it also allows one to back up 25 gb of files as well via cloud network for accessing from any computer.

Re: [Blind-Computing] new to blind computing and searching
Many of the problems around this technology is the complexity of the vocabulary desired. The less commands you want to recognize, the better the accuracy. From a practical standpoint I always had problems with Dragon while taking dictation or recognizing commands and controlling the computer because of family interruptions or background noise. It can give you strange results and take longer due to undoing and editing! It was kind of cool, but very frustrating! Recently, several mainstream devices have come closer to your ideals. There is the Ford in car electronics which uses voice control of the audio, temperature read email from your bluetooth phone, or send a text message through your phone, and so on for a hands free experience. It sounds pretty imprressive! It almost makes me want to drive. It is even in their low end Focus cars. Smart phones are surprisingly getting pretty good at this as well I hear. Google has many projects that allow voice input and recognition for search and translating voice mails to text emails on Android phones. Most of the heavy processing in these cases is performed on their servers.

I realize they dont "need" voice activated computers but it would be much much eaiser and faster. and the technology exists. the fact is that people could do many things on the computer through complete voice activation. the software just needs to be written... i am surprised it has not been done already. can u tell me an example of one that promised voice activation but did not work very well? i would love to check it out.
