yes, as I heard from another ml, it uses Windows Home 32 bit and you most
likely would want to use a Bluetooth or USB keyboard. it also provides 1 USB
3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 port as well as a HDMI.

Hi.

If you have any, try pairing your bluetooth headphones or speaker to it 
and a bluetooth keyboard, and see if you can disconnect it from its dock 
and still be able to operate it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Kangaroo computer and JAWS 17

2015-12-31 Thread East, Robin
Here is some info for those that did not google it:
InFocus, an American electronics company has announced the launch of Kangaroo. 

Size: 124mm length, 80.5mm width, and 12.9mm girth, is roughly the size of a 
smartphone. It comes with a removable base unit, which has an HDMI port, one 
USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, and a DC power port. The device weighs just 200 
grams (without adapter and power cord), and even features a Windows Hello 
fingerprint sensor

it is powered by a quad-core Intel 'Cherrytrail' Atom x5-Z8500 processor 
clocked at 1.44GHz, with a Burst frequency of 2.24GHz. 
Other features include 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 32GB of eMMC storage, which you 
can expand via microSDXC card (up to 128GB) should you need more storage. 

The battery is suggested to last four hours under "casual use", 
the portable PC also has a Micro-USB port for charging. I think one can use 
this port for a headset if your headset is adapted with an adapter  female 3.5 
to male MicroUSB 

the Kangaroo runs Windows 10. 
The mini-PC features Wi-Fi 802.11ac 
and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity.

About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes.

I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be testing 
it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and usb keyboard 
and headset as well as without the docking station using Bluetooth keyboard and 
Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems to be what I was looking 
for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI to connect to screen or 
IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen using the HDMI port.  
However, I just need speakers ( no headphone jack) thus the use of the micro 
USB port for wired headset may be useful)  and a keyboard. Voice commands will 
be of interest using Microsoft's answer to Apples SIRI.

Most important is how jaws will work in this small unit. I suspect for simple 
applications all will be fine but if one opens up to much then unit may become 
very sluggish due to the limited 2 gig of RAM.

completely. Once done it was easy as as soon as you plugged it into the HDMI 
video you not only received video you had immediate sound. So to then run JAWS 
exe was easily done as once the exe was started the setup took over.

Hopeing to give this little unit a good testing this week and weekend.

Hi.

It shouldn't have much trouble with that, it does after all have typical 
tablet-like specs. Someone I know has one just a bit bigger than a USB 
flash drive that goes directly into the HDMI port, which he hasn't since 
he can't see the TV. The Cangaroo if I recall rightly is a pretty nice 
outfit that only just recently released. It has a dock I believe, does 
it deal fine with being removed from the dock while running and placed 
back on it again? Since if memory serves it has an internal battery, 
it'll keep on going while off the dock until you put it back again. I 
read that the out of box experience setup process for this device had 
been modified to work more like setting up a smart tv box would and thus 
is not typical windows setup. Is this so and if so, were you able to do 
it with Narrator even though?

Here is some info for those that did not google it:
InFocus, an American electronics company has announced the launch of 
Kangaroo.


Size: 124mm length, 80.5mm width, and 12.9mm girth, is roughly the size of a 
smartphone. It comes with a removable base unit, which has an HDMI port, one 
USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, and a DC power port. The device weighs just 
200 grams (without adapter and power cord), and even features a Windows 
Hello fingerprint sensor


it is powered by a quad-core Intel 'Cherrytrail' Atom x5-Z8500 processor 
clocked at 1.44GHz, with a Burst frequency of 2.24GHz.
Other features include 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 32GB of eMMC storage, which 
you can expand via microSDXC card (up to 128GB) should you need more 
storage.


The battery is suggested to last four hours under "casual use",
the portable PC also has a Micro-USB port for charging. I think one can use 
this port for a headset if your headset is adapted with an adapter  female 
3.5 to male MicroUSB


the Kangaroo runs Windows 10.
The mini-PC features Wi-Fi 802.11ac
and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity.

About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes.

I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be 
testing it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and 
usb keyboard and headset as well as without the docking station using 
Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems 
to be what I was looking for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI 
to connect to screen or IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen 
using the HDMI port.  However, I just need speakers ( no headphone jack) 
thus the use of the micro USB port for wired headset may be useful)  and a 
keyboard. Voice commands will be of interest using Microsoft's answer to 
Apples SIRI.


Most important is how jaws will work in this small unit. I suspect for 
simple applications all will be fine but if one opens up to much then unit 
may become very sluggish due to the limited 2 gig of RAM.

I just do not understand why anyone would buy this!  Sounds wimpy to me.  
Also, size and weight in metric means little to me.  With no speakers it is
basically worthless in my humble opinion!

Here is some info for those that did not google it:
InFocus, an American electronics company has announced the launch of
Kangaroo. 

Size: 124mm length, 80.5mm width, and 12.9mm girth, is roughly the size of a
smartphone. It comes with a removable base unit, which has an HDMI port, one
USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, and a DC power port. The device weighs just
200 grams (without adapter and power cord), and even features a Windows
Hello fingerprint sensor

it is powered by a quad-core Intel 'Cherrytrail' Atom x5-Z8500 processor
clocked at 1.44GHz, with a Burst frequency of 2.24GHz. 
Other features include 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 32GB of eMMC storage, which
you can expand via microSDXC card (up to 128GB) should you need more
storage. 

The battery is suggested to last four hours under "casual use", the portable
PC also has a Micro-USB port for charging. I think one can use this port for
a headset if your headset is adapted with an adapter  female 3.5 to male
MicroUSB 

the Kangaroo runs Windows 10. 
The mini-PC features Wi-Fi 802.11ac
and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity.

About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes.

I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be
testing it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and
usb keyboard and headset as well as without the docking station using
Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems
to be what I was looking for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI
to connect to screen or IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen
using the HDMI port.  However, I just need speakers ( no headphone jack)
thus the use of the micro USB port for wired headset may be useful)  and a
keyboard. Voice commands will be of interest using Microsoft's answer to
Apples SIRI.

Most important is how jaws will work in this small unit. I suspect for
simple applications all will be fine but if one opens up to much then unit
may become very sluggish due to the limited 2 gig of RAM.

2015-12-31 Thread Mario
yes, as I heard from another ml, it uses Windows Home 32 bit and you 
most likely would want to use a Bluetooth or USB keyboard. it also 
provides 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 port as well as a HDMI.

Hi, I had to to have sighted help as it took four hours for windows to update 
completely. Once done it was easy as as soon as you plugged it into the HDMI 
video you not only received video you had immediate sound. So to then run JAWS 
exe was easily done as once the exe was started the setup took over.

Hopeing to give this little unit a good testing this week and weekend.

Hi.

It shouldn't have much trouble with that, it does after all have typical
tablet-like specs. Someone I know has one just a bit bigger than a USB
flash drive that goes directly into the HDMI port, which he hasn't since
he can't see the TV. The Cangaroo if I recall rightly is a pretty nice
outfit that only just recently released. It has a dock I believe, does
it deal fine with being removed from the dock while running and placed
back on it again? Since if memory serves it has an internal battery,
it'll keep on going while off the dock until you put it back again. I
read that the out of box experience setup process for this device had
been modified to work more like setting up a smart tv box would and thus
is not typical windows setup. Is this so and if so, were you able to do
it with Narrator even though?

and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity.

About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes.

I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be
testing it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and
usb keyboard and headset as well as without the docking station using
Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems
to be what I was looking for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI
to connect to screen or IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen
using the HDMI port.  However, I just need speakers ( no headphone jack)
thus the use of the micro USB port for wired headset may be useful)  and a
keyboard. Voice commands will be of interest using Microsoft's answer to
Apples SIRI.

Most important is how jaws will work in this small unit. I suspect for
simple applications all will be fine but if one opens up to much then unit
may become very sluggish due to the limited 2 gig of RAM.

I've only been monitoring this thread enough to make sure it is on topic,
but I must admit it has got my attention.

So it is some sort of full fledged tablet that can run JAWS, interesting.

yes, as I heard from another ml, it uses Windows Home 32 bit and you 
most likely would want to use a Bluetooth or USB keyboard. it also 
provides 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 port as well as a HDMI.

Hello,
This rruns a full fledged version of Windows10. It is not running the 
mobile version. I listened to the Windows Weekly podcast and Leo 
actually had this hooked up to an iPad Pro for the monitor. It is a 
really nifty little device. It is a full fledged PC you can carry in

Hi.

It shouldn't have much trouble with that, it does after all have typical 
tablet-like specs. Someone I know has one just a bit bigger than a USB 
flash drive that goes directly into the HDMI port, which he hasn't since 
he can't see the TV. The Cangaroo if I recall rightly is a pretty nice 
outfit that only just recently released. It has a dock I believe, does 
it deal fine with being removed from the dock while running and placed 
back on it again? Since if memory serves it has an internal battery, 
it'll keep on going while off the dock until you put it back again. I 
read that the out of box experience setup process for this device had 
been modified to work more like setting up a smart tv box would and thus 
is not typical windows setup. Is this so and if so, were you able to do 
it with Narrator even though?
