Re: unable to proofread WLM emails

2016-12-29 Thread Grant Metcalf via Talk
Hi Robert, Thanks for the suggestions. As I am writing this it seems to be 
working. Although, when first trying it it did not work for me. However, 
after a re-boot it is now working and I hope it will continue. I have even 
been able to edit this paragraph as well.Smile! Grin! Laugh out loud!!!

Much thanks!

Subject: Re: unable to proofread WLM emails

Grant I have a 64 bit computer with WLM.

In order to read what I write, I open the email or use the reply or forward
command when I get to the text, go to the subject line and then back to the
text and then I can read what I wrote and can read it while I'm writing.

My problem with WLM is I cannot see what word the spell check is trying to
change.
If the spell check is giving me a word, that's usually OK. But if it has no
suggestions, then I don't know what word it is stopping on.

Hi Listers,
Using a win7, 32bit desktop pc:
When I am writiing or ansering an email I am unable to proofread what I am
writing in Windows Live Mail. This also means that my braille edge display
is blank.
I was under the impression that the command
alt-space x
would solve the problem but it does not. Also, moving off the email and back
again does not seem to help the problem.
Any helpful suggestions will be grately appreciated.
Also, my apologies for any typos. Smile!

So when you use f7, Window-eyes doesn't tell you the first word in 
question?  I hear something like, check word, and then it reads the word 
in question.  I tab down to the list of possible correct words and I 
arrow through the list of possibilities. Then I tab to either replace 
r--button, or ignore--i buttonu

Re: echo dot

2016-12-29 Thread Butch Bussen via Talk
You are not correct on the first two answers.  I do not have a smart 
phone and set the echo up using my computer.  Secondly, I have an echo, 
and I also have the dot which has a line out which is the main reason I 
bought it.  It can be hooked to line in on my sound card or stereo. 
Don't have a clue why you thought you need a smart phone, absolutely not 
so, I don't have one nor do I wqant one.

   hi.  well this really doesn't relate to Window-eyes at all. but... i'll

 Once I connect to theinternet, then the questions.



 First

 Can I connect to my computer and if so, where
The echo dot is not meant to connect to your computer in any way at all, it's 
a stand-alone device that requires you to have a wireless network. You plug 
the echo dot into a wall outlet, and then you connect to it with your 
smartphone or tablet in the settings screens under wi-fi.


You must have a smart phone or a tablet and the Amazon Alexa app to set up 
and control any of the Echo devices. Once the Alexa app is installed, you'll 
need to sign in using your Amazon username and password.









 Second:

 If I ask elexa to play neil diamond and it is on my computer, will it play
 and if so, through my computer speakers or through the echo dot
 Again, your computer isn't involved here, so it'll play through the echo
 dot.  All the music that's played is through Amazon prime music if you
 have it, or other services like Pandora, spotify and iheart radio.  You
 must use the Alexa app to sign into each one of these services and allow
 the Alexa app to  access your account.









 Last:



 If all goes well and I am connect to the internet and I ask Alexa  what is
 the temperature in whatever, will it work?
It should certainly work. You'll need to tell the Alexa app your location so 
it'll find the weather for your location, though so you'll want to do that. 
The setup process is completely accessible, no sighted help is necessary at 
all, unless you just aren't good with a smart phone or tablet, then you might 
need to get some help setting things up. It all depends on your particular 
level of skills.  I was able to set up my regular echo and the echo dot in 
another part of the house without any sighted help, so you can rest easy 
knowing it is possible to do.


   I hope all this helps.

RE: a windows 7 network issue

2016-12-29 Thread Rod Hutton via Talk
Hi Steve,

I have a Windows 7 machine here as well as a Windows 10 machine and they are 
networked to each other.
The thing is that, on the Windows 7 machine, when I open Network and arrow 
through the list of PCs, the two machines show up, but they don't appear as 
branches in a tree called Home Group, well, not until I click on the word Home 
Group which is in the header area near the top of the window.

I hope this helps explain the situation a bit.

All the best,

Hi Lee,

You are still connected to your Home Group, as are the other computers.
The problem is a display issue within the Network window.
With Network open, route your mouse pointer to the top left of the Network
window, and then use the mouse line down command to come down one line at a
time until you find Home Group.
When you find it, use the mouse left-click button to click it, and then
you'll see the computers in the Home Group lined up under each other.
Note that this is a tree view, and so the Network screen is attempting to
arrange the various devices within the different networks which you are
connected to hierarchically.

Hth,

When you find it, use the mouse left-click button to click it, and then
you'll see the computers in the Home Group lined up under each other.
Note that this is a tree view, and so the Network screen is attempting to
arrange the various devices within the different networks which you are
connected to hierarchically.

RE: a windows 7 network issue

2016-12-29 Thread Rod Hutton via Talk
Hi Lee,

You are still connected to your Home Group, as are the other computers.
The problem is a display issue within the Network window.
With Network open, route your mouse pointer to the top left of the Network 
window, and then use the mouse line down command to come down one line at a 
time until you find Home Group.
When you find it, use the mouse left-click button to click it, and then you'll 
see the computers in the Home Group lined up under each other.
Note that this is a tree view, and so the Network screen is attempting to 
arrange the various devices within the different networks which you are 
connected to hierarchically.

Hth,

Rod

unable to proofread WLM emails

Hi Listers,
Using a win7, 32bit desktop pc:
When I am writiing or ansering an email I am unable to proofread what I am 
writing in Windows Live Mail. This also means that my braille edge display is 
blank. 
I was under the impression that the command 
alt-space x 
would solve the problem but it does not. Also, moving off the email and back 
again does not seem to help the problem. 
Any helpful suggestions will be grately appreciated.
Also, my apologies for any typos. Smile!

RE: a windows 7 network issue

2016-12-29 Thread Lee Hodgson via Talk

thanks steve,
one question, the wrid thing is that the computer can still connect 
to set up shortcuts on other pc folders.  for example, I have a 
shortcut set up, via the network to a folder on the other pc's hard 
drive. that still work.

but it is not showing the other pc in the network listings.
so it can still see it but the computer listings in network itself 
are not there to access other not shortuctted folders.
does this mmake a difference to what you suggested, as it is 
obviously still seeing the pc, but not showing it in network.
thanks for the help.

RE: a windows 7 network issue

2016-12-29 Thread Steve Jacobson via Talk
First, make sure other machines on the network are still showing that they
are part of the home group.  If they are, I would try reconnecting to your
home group.  It sounds as though you may have gotten disconnected.  If you
type the word "home" in the start menu, you should see a result for Home
Group and for fixing problems with Home Group.  Open Home group and try
"Leaving Home group" and then Joining Home group.  You will need your Home
Group password.  

This may sound ridiculous, but be sure your computer that suddenly lost the
home group is connecting to the same network.  I had a problem once where
one of my computers could not find my home group, and it turned out it had
connected to another wireless network I had forgotten was still active.
Most of the dumb suggestions I have are a result of things that have
happened to me.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hi,
Small correction.
You don't need a smart phone or tablet to work with Alexa.
As long as your computer has a wifi connection you can go to alexa.amazon.com

The echo dot is not meant to connect to your computer in any way at all, it's a 
stand-alone device that requires you to have a wireless network. 
You plug the echo dot into a wall outlet, and then you connect to it with your 
smartphone or tablet in the settings screens under wi-fi.

  You must have a smart phone or a tablet and the Amazon Alexa app to set up 
and control any of the Echo devices. Once the Alexa app is installed, you'll 
need to sign in using your Amazon username and password.

It should certainly work. You'll need to tell the Alexa app your location so 
it'll find the weather for your location, though so you'll want to do that.  
The setup process is completely accessible, no sighted help is necessary at 
all, unless you just aren't good with a smart phone or tablet, then you might 
need to get some help setting things up. It all depends on your particular 
level of skills.  I was able to set up my regular echo and the echo dot in 
another part of the house without any sighted help, so you can rest easy 
knowing it is possible to do.

 I hope all this helps.

Re: echo dot

2016-12-29 Thread Butch Bussen via Talk
I don't know what the difference is if any, but I have an older echo 
dot.  I have an echo, but it does not have a line out jack, so I bought 
the dot.  The dot is small, about a couple inches tall and has a small 
speaker, not really meant for music.  You plug it ito the line in on 
your computer or a line in jack on your stereo is what I do.  If you 
have a song on your computer and play it, the echo dot isn't any part of 
that.  If you tell the echo to play a song it gets it on amazon's server 
and is played through the dot, and if you have it plugged into a stereo 
amp or your sound card, it will play through there.  It will give 
weather for various places.  Their page is not really speech friendly, 
but it sort of works as far as settings, skills and so forth.  I use 
mine a lot.   You can play trivia crack, a couple text based adventure 
games, set a timer, and on and on.  You can say "alexa wicopedia", and 
she says "what should I look up?"


Write off list if you have any more questions to
but...@shellworld.net
or
but...@fairpoint.net which will show up as from tiny puppy.
Good luck.
