Re: Professional level robust Punctuation/grammar/proofing tools that work with Window-Eyes.
I apologize for my gross incompetence and ignorance. But to this old country boy a sentence is a sentence whether I write one-hundred or one-hundred thousand of them. They all have to be written correctly. And that is my responsibility. Although it has been my experience that editors actually do something as well. But perhaps that's only here in the downtown district. I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure these elusive beasts you refer to as "large manuscripts" predate the computer and the all knowing program. But I sincerely hope you find the magic program you're looking for.

Re: Professional level robust Punctuation/grammar/proofing tools that work with Window-Eyes.
Thanks George, Robin, and Rod. Of course we all know there is no George participating in this virtual conversation. And yet, George does have his place in life. You see, "George, Robin, and Rod," is a good example of the serial comma removing the possible ambiguity lurking devilishly in my communicatory commencement of this transference of digital data to our rather communicative community. I know not if you, Robin, or you, Rod, are married or have a partner. But I am sure that if you do they would appreciate the knowledge that you two are not together thanks to the simple serial comma that so elegantly dangles from Robin's right shoe like a proud flag of confirmation. I in fact think it is rather becoming, however, I would not go so far as to say it looks stunning. But that's another story better left for another day. And as for you, my dear friend, Rod? Fear not, my brother in arms. I offer you my solemn oath that the initiation of a sentence with a preposition or conjunction is indeed legal in today's contemporary culture. Therefore you have no need to concern yourself with the possibility of being beheaded. Times they are a changin'.

RE: Professional level robust Punctuation/grammar/proofing tools that work with Window-Eyes.
Hi Tom, and all, And, if I may say, that was beautifully written and I agree with your assessment. Oops, did I start the previous sentence with a conjunction? I can't speak in minute detail as to your use of punctuation, since I have my punctuation echo turned off, but, if Window-Eyes phrasing with respect to punctuation can be trusted, as I usually do, that was done superbly as well. I wonder what those fancy grammar checkers would do to my "eloquent" prose. smile All the best, Rod -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Tom Kingston via Talk Sent: September 17, 2015 11:41 AM To: Diana Kube ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Professional level robust Punctuation/grammar/proofing tools that work with Window-Eyes. Hi Diana, I don't at all mean to sound arrogant. But in my opinion the best thing to do for yourself is learn how to do it right yourself. No program is going to be perfect. And editors don't mind making minor corrections. That's their job. Also, part of it is simply their personal preference or that of the publication. When it comes to punctuation there isn't a set of rules carved in stone for the English language. And that is what a program works best with. Editors and writers will always disagree over things like the use of semicolons instead of separate sentences, too many or too few commas or clauses, the latter of which may or may not also involve semicolons. Then there's the timeless debate over the serial comma, which is also referred to as the Oxford or Harvard comma. I have no idea what a program would do with that. Do you know the difference between a parenthetical statement enclosed in parentheses and one enclosed in em dashes? No program can. One consensus among editors is a raw hatred for the exclamation mark. Why this is is a mystery. But it's been preached from the bully pulpit for as long as I can remember. So I suppose a program could simply blacklist the exclamation mark. Then again, under just the right circumstances it is just the right mark for the occasion. Still, whether the editor agrees or not is a roll of the dice every time. So it's a combination of developing your own style and knowing that of the publication you're submitting to, because, as I said, they're not all hard and fast rules. I say the publication rather than the editor because often it's the publication's rules the editor wants you to adhere to, which aren't necessarily one and the same. Professional publications typically desire consistency throughout. So it may be more the publications rules you and the editor are working toward rather than either of your own personal preferences. Academia is pretty well set but there's still wiggle room even there. "professional" is an open field on what is right or wrong depending on the particular genre or sub-genre. And again, there's the matter of the editor's/publication's preference. No reasonable editor is going to have a problem with preferential edits. They know they're forcing their style on your writing. These are the cases wherein you simply have to learn and write to that predefined ideal. When you say "Word misses a high percentage of unusual errors including punctuation with narrated and quoted text in the same sentence," I read that as pretty much everything.

Gil, I'm not sure if you can fully stop it, but you can reduce the list size to one. In Word 2010, the setting is in the Options dialog found on the File Menu.

Professional level robust Punctuation/grammar/proofing tools that work with Window-Eyes.
The default spell/grammar check that comes with word is not robust enough for large, professional or academic manuscripts. Word misses a high percentage of unusual errors including punctuation with narrated and quoted text in the same sentence. Is anyone aware of a high quality, professional level tool that works effectively with Window-Eyes? I have tried both "Grammarly" and "Ginger" but although they work well for my sighted husband, they are not effective using Window-Eyes. I am getting a lot of negative comments regarding errors in manuscripts that reviewers and editors believe should be addressed prior to submission. Any suggestions?? ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

RE: stability versus new browse mode
Hi, Well I find making auto hot key scripts for starting programs much more reliable than using the windows short cut key system. Another advantage is you can use key combos that are not supported by the typical windows short cut key system. For example: I have Window-Eyes starting with the short cut of windows+alt+w. Another advantage is I can take this short cut key script and run it on any computer and the short cut key script will work.

RE: Prompts in Web Pages
Hi, Is it possible you have an add-on that is taking over the alt-n command? This is an Internet Explorer command.. When you can't get to those buttons, can you still press insert-n to have Window-eyes read the notification area? Chris Window-Eyes Product Support Ai Squared 725 Airport North Office Park Fort Wayne, IN 46825 (802) 362-3612 www.aisquared.com -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+cgrabowski=aisquared@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Barbara via Talk Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 8:11 PM To: Window-Eyes Subject: Prompts in Web Pages Hello Everyone, I am using IE 11 and Window-Eyes 9.2. When I go to some web pages, I get prompts. An example might be a prompt to ask if I want IE to save a password. I would hear press alt-y for yes and alt-n for no. I do not seem to be able to access this correctly. I know if there is a notification bar, I can press alt-n to access it. However pressing alt-n in this situation gets me nothing. The web site ignores whatever I press and goes on to the web page. I will get the same prompt the next time I visit the same page. Another similar situation is a prompt for unsecure sections of a web page. I will hear press alt-a to allow and I think it says alt-n for not. Same issue here. I think both of these situations have more options, but I think you get what I am trying to ask here. Thanks in advance for any help.
