Re: two possibly dumb questions
Depending on the security of your company it might be that you just need to adjust the proxy settings in the AppGet interface in order to have it work on your system. It is of course possible that your companies security policy locks scripted applications from accessing the web, in which case changing proxy settings would not work.

RE: two possibly dumb questions
It's really good to take note of direct page. The security settings on my work laptop will not allow me to use App Get, but I can go to the app central page directly in my Browser, find the app and download it from there. It's not a smooth, but at least I can get the job done. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+robin_van_lant=key@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of David via Talk Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 12:30 AM To: Nick Sarames; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: two possibly dumb questions For your first question, App Central is a sub-devision of the AISquared website. The direct link to it, is: https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/ Scroll down to the table on the page, and choose the category for what apps you want to read more about. Then, you can open an individual website for each app, to read more about its features and functions. Well, that is the "old-style" way of accessing the App Central directly. There is a built-in way, directly in your screen reader. Press the Win-key in combination with the letter G, and something called AppGet will open. Here, you can see a complete list of apps available from App Central, or you could set it to show you respectively either all your currently installed apps, or only the apps that need an update. Probably, this serves as an answer for your second question. Once AppGet is up running on your screen, arrow down to an app of interest, and tab over to the box that holds the short-info about the app. It typically, in more or less short terms, will inform you of what the app is supposed to do for you.If this is an app you want to install, simply tab over to the Install button, and press Enter, then follow onscreen instructions if any. Some apps will immediately install, others need some further user interaction, like accepting an user agreement. But you will always be informed if such should be the case. When done with all your installation, simply just close the AppGet window, and start to enjoy the new features of the screen reader. Hope all of this helped you one step further in realizing how beneficial the apps available can be. Just be aware, that some apps are more powerful than others, in that they will have a higher impact on the functionality of your screen reader. Some kicks in automatically, when certain things take place, like whenever a given application gets opened and activated on your computer.

RE: two possibly dumb questions
Hi Linette, In addition to the information provided by David's very informative message I would like to add that, when using the AppGet app, there is a menu bar at the top of the dialog which you open using the Alt key and navigate using normal menu navigation methods, and this is where you find the View menu allowing you to adjust which apps are displayed.

Re: two possibly dumb questions
For your first question, App Central is a sub-devision of the AISquared website. The direct link to it, is: https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/ Scroll down to the table on the page, and choose the category for what apps you want to read more about. Then, you can open an individual website for each app, to read more about its features and functions. Well, that is the "old-style" way of accessing the App Central directly. There is a built-in way, directly in your screen reader. Press the Win-key in combination with the letter G, and something called AppGet will open. Here, you can see a complete list of apps available from App Central, or you could set it to show you respectively either all your currently installed apps, or only the apps that need an update. Probably, this serves as an answer for your second question. Once AppGet is up running on your screen, arrow down to an app of interest, and tab over to the box that holds the short-info about the app. It typically, in more or less short terms, will inform you of what the app is supposed to do for you.If this is an app you want to install, simply tab over to the Install button, and press Enter, then follow onscreen instructions if any. Some apps will immediately install, others need some further user interaction, like accepting an user agreement. But you will always be informed if such should be the case. When done with all your installation, simply just close the AppGet window, and start to enjoy the new features of the screen reader. Hope all of this helped you one step further in realizing how beneficial the apps available can be. Just be aware, that some apps are more powerful than others, in that they will have a higher impact on the functionality of your screen reader. Some kicks in automatically, when certain things take place, like whenever a given application gets opened and activated on your computer. Others, are more hidden, and will need your deliberate action, to even get started - and they typically will be experienced as nearly stand-alone applications, carrying out a given kind of activity, and in general leaving your screen reader alone. Still others, will be there more for your pleasure, like a couple of games.
