RE: Skype
Hi Jim, Yes, it works very well. Your best friends are Alt-1 to go to all of your contacts, and Alt-2, which goes to your most recent ones. The Applications key brings up the available actions for a selected contact. Once a contact is open, tab moves through the fields and links you need, and spacebar will activate buttons and bring up context menus, and the arrow keys are needed as well. Also, when you have begun a call, and you need to enter dial tones for, say, a menu system, like online banking, tab to the dialpad button and activate it, and you can then press the phone buttons you need by tabbing through the buttons and pressing spacebar on the one you want; you can also use the numpad, as long as you remember to turn numlock on; note that while the numpad does have an asterisk key for the star, you'll have to use the shifted number 3 on the alphanumeric part of the keyboard in order to press the pound key, unless you tab to the button on the dialpad to the right of the zero key. This should get you going.

Re: TWITTER
Hi Making use of one of the twitter clients made especially for the blind is your very best bet. There are a few free options and a paid one. For free, you can use, tw blue, which is primarily made by spanish speakers, but there is a US version that is easy to find. http://www.twblue.es That one is regularly updated. The Qube, which is one that is a little less developed, is available at http://theqube.oire.org The paid one has a silly name, chicken nugget but it's one of the most powerful clients available. http://getaccessibleapps.org and choose the software link. I hope this helps somewhat. The nice thing about all these clients is that you can use them from anywhere in Windows. for example, to look at your tweets you are following, use control windows up and down arrow. Be sure to read the read me for all the keystrokes. On 11/14/2015 5:31 PM, Jim via Talk wrote: Hi there Folks! First of all a comment and then a question.

Re: weird issue with browse mode
Unusable, no. But, since results are displayed dynamically on the page as you type with browse mode off, the user has to enable browse mode before navigating the search results. This can be tricky for novice users. With Google instant disabled, results don't get displayed until you submit the search, and then a new page loads with the results. Browse mode kicks on automatically when the results page loads and you can start navigating through the search results. There is a tutorial that covers how to disable Google instant and perform a Google search on the old GW Micro site. Use the training link and then tutorials link to get there.

Alt-d also gave me the path. I did route the mouse to it but the keypad number 5 didn’t read anything except the entire label as it were, the folder name no matter how many times I hit it in succession but the other f2 method worked. This means something random went wrong in WindowEyes yesterday causing f2 not to work or at least not to read the dialog or I was on, as Rod mentions, a non changeable label whatever that is. Thanks for the heads up guys and, by the way Rod, what do you mean by a changeable label in this context? Can you give me one so I can see if perhaps I was on one yesterday when I tried the f2 key?

It has worked on the desktop but it did not work during that session when I was in the This Computer and then in the OS folder. Perhaps something got temporarily mucked up. I will give it a go tomorrow just to check it out and verify it works and, if not, will get more detailed specifics on what and where I am if it doesn’t work. I will also try your other suggestions.

Within the "This PC" window on Windows 10 I can spell everything by routing the mouse to it and hitting the current clip hot key once to read it, twice to spell it, and a third time to spell it phonetically. But there are no paths in that window. F2 works on any file in Explorer. And Alt-D puts you in the address bar and the full path is already highlighted. So you can just copy it or read it. F6 returns you to the main window.

In the "This Computer" list of operating system files and folders hitting f2 does seemingly nothing so I cant look for capitals in system files and folders. How do I read the list of entries, a selected entry, one character at a time? I often need to build file paths to a particular file or folder, the path to it is in the properties window for the item, window eyes only reads the information in this operating system using the mouse, but it is so far doable. So why doesn't f2 work and how do I read a list item to look for capitals in the name? I run Windows 8.1 and WE 9.2.
