My wife hates computers and has no patience! Now we go to H R Block and the frustration is gone! I just have to forfeit a little of the refund! At least the household is peaceful! I ended up scanning in all of the documents this year anyway. I wonder if I could manage to get all of the needed data off the W2s to directly fill out the forms on the IRS site.

Re: [JAWS-Users] tax software
I have a friend that I used to work with until he retired and he helps me with TurboTax. I can tell you that some of the IRS talking forms are ok but you still need to know how to fill ut the form and what goes where. I have experimented with some at work with fair to good results. Unfortunately none of the forms or programs are tagged as they should be. I've also emailed them on this. We will see what happens this year. I will be loading TurboTax today or tomorrow.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Seeking Tips for Using JAWS with a Braille Display
Hi, I can't answer all your questions about Braille displays but I use one at work in combination with speech. I use it primarily to read to people on the phone, and input information that needs to be specifically entered in to certain boxes on the screen. It is critical when inputting information to place the data in the correct space for the computer program to except it as correct. I occasionally use the buttons on the handy-tech star Braille 80 as a mouse click because it is much quicker and more convenient. I don't use it as a separate notetaker because for me it is not quick enough to switch modes while dealing with the public. I look at the Braille display as a very helpful addition to speech but rarely use it independently. Hope this helps.

I've attained the use of a braille display for a couple weeks as an evaluation toward a likely purchase of one. I want to be sure to get the full experience of using a braille display before having to give this on back, so hope that the braille display users among you can provide me some guidance as to features that you do or don't use of your braille display and screen reader combo. I've thrown some questions out to guide your thoughts, but I'm surely not limited to these questions in terms of the feedback I'd find helpful. Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to reading your responses. How do you use your braille display? For what tasks would you not want to live without your braille display? For what tasks is it less than desirable and why? Do you primarily use it for proofreading, screen access, replacement for speech, access to text only, or some combination of these? Do you use its ability to input text? If so, is that your primary, or even your sole, means of interaction with your PC? How much customization of the display's key commands do you do? Do you use your screen reader's ability to output in grade II? How often? Do you browse the web using braille, and if so, do you read text with braille and navigate with speech, use braille for both, or some other combination? If you use braille to browse the web for text or navigation, do you encounter situations where content on the web is difficult to access using braille alone? If so, what problems do you encounter? Once more, thanks tremendously for your thoughts and feedback, and feel free to write me privately with any of this information if you like. Very gratefully, Jeremiah Z.

[JAWS-Users] OCR software
I have never used open book but I hear from others it works well. My personal experience with Kurzweil is that it does very well. While nothing is perfect version 11.1 is considerably improved over earlier versions. Either one should serve you well.I have used Kurzweil to read mail, instructions from frozen food boxes, and hundreds of typed or printed correspondence snail mail with relatively good results.

In order to run the kitchens inc games you must install winkit first then install any other games you have downloaded. If you install any others first, they will not run correctly.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessible forms with Jaws and MS-word XP.
Thanks for the info. This may be helpful at work. Mike Wagoner kb4vks/AAV4CL - Original Message - From: Terrill Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 8:57 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessible forms with Jaws and MS-word XP. Hi: I had this tutorial on my computer, not really sure how long, but maybe it can help. I will paste it below just incase you can get some help from it. Creating Accessible Forms in MS Word Introduction With the instructions below, you will be able to develop easy-to-use forms. There are several advantages to developing your forms using the Forms tool provided by Word: List of 4 items . You will develop the forms once, but they will be usable over and over again. . If you ever need to change/add/remove anything from a form you've already developed, you can make that change in moments without having to re-create the whole form. . Since the forms will be protected, people filling them out will only be able to type in the appropriate fields, ensuring that the forms will print out properly every time. . The Add-Help Text that appears each time you tab onto a field makes these forms readily accessible by a blind person using JAWS. list end Set-up To create a form in Word, you use the Forms toolbar. Since this is not among the standard toolbars visible when you first launch Word, you need to bring up the Forms toolbar. To do this go to the View menu on the standard menu bar, then choose the Toolbars submenu, and down arrow to Forms. Press ENTER on this item to check it and close the menus. Laying out the Form Content Your form may have a lot of text that is not directly related to entering data. This may include instructions on how to fill out the form, headings, disclaimers, etc. Type in or copy/paste all of the text that needs to appear on the printed form, formatting it as appropriate. The edit fields that people move to in order to fill in data will be put onto the form for you when you use the options on the Forms toolbar. This will ensure that users only type in the right places on the form. (The sample below shows the form context without the edit areas and checkboxes.) Sample form 1 Personal Contact Information First Name: Last Name: Street address: City: State: Zip: Personal Information SSN: DOB: Sex: Male Female U.S. citizen: Yes No Creating an Accessible Text Edit field A form field is the space a person filling out the form uses to type in text or response to a question on the form. Usually, a highlighted area provides a visual marker to show where to fill in this text. To create an accessible text edit field, do the following: List of 8 items 1. Place your cursor at the beginning of the space where you expect a person to start filling in text. This is usually, but not always, just to the right of the question on the form. 2. Press ALT to move to the menu bar item File. 3. Press CTRL+TAB until you move to the forms toolbar. JAWS will say Edit box button. 4. Press ENTER. An edit box appears at your cursor location. (Mouse users, point and click on the first button of the toolbar.) 5. Go back to the forms toolbar and choose the Form Fields Options button. (JAWS says Properties button.) This brings up a dialog that lets you change various aspects of the edit box you just created. For example, you can set default text to appear in a field or you can limit the number of characters users can type in the edit field. In fact, if you do this, it guarantees that users won't type more than you need them to type. For example, limit the edit field for State to 2 characters so that users can only fill in a two-letter state abbreviation. If your cursor is at the beginning of or in the middle of the edit field you can also press your Applications key to open a context menu. Then you can choose Properties from that menu. 6. Press ALT+T (or click on it) to activate the Add Help Text button. This brings up a multi page dialog that lets you add a meaningful prompt or tool tip for the person filling out the form. You land on the Status Bar page tab. 7. Press ALT+T or TAB three times to move to the edit area for adding your own text, the third radio button called Type Your Own Text. The text you enter on here will be visible on the Word status bar and will also be read to a blind person using JAWS. In most cases, simply type in the same question that is printed on the form. So if the form reads First name: type first name (with minimal punctuation and no quotation marks). 8. TAB to or click on the OK button to exit the Add Help Text dialog, and again to exit the Text Form Field Options dialog. You will be placed back in your edit field in the original document. list end List of 2 items . If the question on the form is very wordy, you can copy and paste its text into the Type
