 My friend gave me an I pad 4, for Christmas. I know it can do much more

The voice over on the iPad is quite remarkable actually, enjoyed the
experience. Needs a lot of getting used too, not having buttons and all I
mean. I don't think you need an additional screen reader on it to be able to
use it. Did not do some intensive testing on it though, friends iPad and you
know how selfish iPad users can get - HAHAHAHA!

[Blind-Computing] How to Use a Network scanner With an OCR Program

2013-01-23 Thread Mark Torgerson
Hi
 I have been searching the internet for an answer for this question, but no 
luck. I would like to use a program like text cloner PRO at work. However, text 
cloner like most OCR programs looks for the default scanner driver. Since the 
system of computers at work uses a network scanner, there are no drivers 
installed on my computer. Thus, I am dependent on someone else doing the 
scanning, and sending the file to me to have the OCR program convert it. It 
seems highly inefficient. How do I go about directly accessing the scanner from 
my computer? It is a canon wireless scanner as I understand it. The computer is 
windows 7, running the latest version of JAWS.
 Any ideas are appreciated.

No if memory serves there is another tablet, unfortunately the name of it
does escape me at the moment.  

>From what I understand the iPad is the most accessible. If it is like it's
smaller cousins the iPhone for example then it is quite blind friendly. 

Mind you those devices are best used with the native applications that come
already installed. Some times third party applications can be a little hit
and miss so in those cases I always look for somebody who has previously
tried said program before.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws 14 on Windows 7.

2013-01-23 Thread Shadow Systems
Dear Shreyas Nagaraj Reddy,

You asked if Jaws works on Windows 7.
I am currently using Jaws 14 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it seems
to work fine.
There are a few differences between Jaws 13 & Jaws 14, but nothing that you
can't quickly overcome with a simple Jaws+H to bring up the Jaws Help
command.
Since Jaws is working on a 64 bit operating system, it stands to reason it
will also work on the 32 bit version, and just as, if not more, stable.

I'm using Internet Explorer 9 64 bit, and other than issues with Adobe's
Flash Player still containing unlabled buttons, & web site designers that
deserve to be swatted with a rolled up newspaper, it works well.

I'm using Office 2010 Professional 64 bit, and while most of my use has been
in Word & Outlook, I'm fairly certain it works well in most of the Office
suite.
Using Outlook with Jaws 14 has been interesting, but mostly because I'm
still getting used to the "Ribbon" User Interface ("UI").
It takes some getting used to, and trying to find things can be frustrating,
but eventually you remember the shortcuts you use most often, and the work
flows easier.

I'm using Open Book 9, and that's a breeze to use with Jaws 14.
It doesn't get much easier to hit the Space Bar to make it scan, then
Control+S to Save the scan.
I *seriously* recommend changing the default Save location to your My
Documents folder, as that will speed up finding the files you've saved
later.
(I've created an "OpenBook" folder in My Documents, and everything goes
there. Simple, straight forward, & no confusion.)

I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials & Windows Defender, both of which
are simple & easy.
Windows Update keeps them current, even if I hadn't already set them to
update themselves on a daily basis, and they run a Full System Scan every
day to make sure my system is secure.
Unless it starts beeping at me to read the generated report file, you can be
sure the system is clean.

I'm running Windows Firewall, and while that's a pain to navigate, it can be
done, and setting it to block any unauthorized traffic can be accomplished.
Again, it's not easy, but that's more because it's an Advanced Tool and
requires a bit of learning in order to use properly.

I'm using MalWare Bites, and that's simple as well.
It is an easy matter to TAB between the buttons until you can set it to Full
Scan, then TAB to the Scan Now button.
When it's done, it pops up a Notepad Text document of the issues it's found
(if any), the actions it took upon them (if any), and what Registry
Enteries, Folders, Files, or Programs it found that require your attention.
(If everything reads "Zero Items Found", then you don't have to save the
report, and can ALT+F4 the report & MalWare Bites closed with a clear head.)

I run a daily Windows BackUp to an external hard drive.
This is a fairly simple task, and the program is well laid out to allow you
to quickly set up this process, as well as having it run automaticly in the
background.
(Just make sure the external hard drive is plugged in before the BackUp
starts, or you'll feel sheepish when you realize your gaff.)

Windows 7 uses the Start Search feature as the basis of it's User Interface.
Any time you want something, hit the Windows Key (second from the Left of
the Space Bar) and it brings up a Search box.
Type in what you want, for example "Word" to launch Microsoft Word, and it
finds (most, if not all of) the occurrences of that Search term, presents
them as potential links to Arrow Key to, and hit Enter to launch.
You can "Pin" items to the Start Menu, to the TaskBar, or to the QuickLaunch
bar, but realisticly, you're better off just typing in the search term in
the Search Box, and letting Windows find it for you.
Shortcuts on the desktop are still Accessable, and you can always drop
things there you like to find frequently, but again, using the Search Box
saves a lot of time.
At any time you can hit the Windows Key plus M to bring up the desktop, and
navigate with the Arrow Keys through the icons & shortcuts, but it may be
less of a "Hunt the Wocket" to just use the Search Box instead.
Have I mentioned using the Search Box?
Hu, I think I may have once or twice.
*Laughing merrily*

In short, Jaws 14 on Windows 7 is a very good combination.
You'll quickly be up & running, and even if the "Ribbon" User Interface
drives you batty, you should still be able to get around your computer
fairly easily.

Hope this helps.
Have a nice day.

Re: [Blind-Computing] tablets

Hi.
All the apple products have voice over be it a phone, tablet, or mac.
As this is a windows list I will not talk about android more than saying
that it also works.
If anybody wants more info about android tablets, or phones e-mail me off
list at norbk...@gmail.com
As far as windows tablets go, if they are running windows 8 they should be
accessible.
Be careful though that it is running windows 8 pro and not windows 8 rtm
On rtm the only thing that will work is narrator.
Narrator is pretty good though. 
Serotek did a podcast on it.
The tablets running the pro version of windows 8 like the Microsoft surface
will work with narrator nvda and jaws.
Of the 3 I would suspect that narrator has the best touch screen support.

you do not need anything other than voiceover on the iPad, and if you work
with it a little bit its nearly totally accessible, the external keyboard is
not even necessary just a bit of Patience to get used to the keying method. 

I believe other tablets are accessible as well since they come in android,
Linux and such and there are accessibility products for all of the above. 

HTH,

The voice over on the iPad is quite remarkable actually, enjoyed the
experience. Needs a lot of getting used too, not having buttons and all I
mean. I don't think you need an additional screen reader on it to be able to
use it. Did not do some intensive testing on it though, friends iPad and you
know how selfish iPad users can get - HAHAHAHA!

Mark,

Does the ipad have voice over on it?

Can you ;put jaws on these or no? Is this the only one that is accessible to
us?

Hi
 My friend gave me an I pad 4, for Christmas. I know it can do much more
than I can currently access. However, my plan is to buy an external
keyboard. This should allow me to navigate around the screen quite nicely.
 This is most of what I know for the moment.

God bless,
Mark
