Hi BJ,
The Fire tablet comes with VoiceView. My only problem with it is trying
to type in edit boxes. You can use a USB keyboard with a little USB
dongle, which I purchased from Amazon for around $5. BlueTooth keyboards
work also. If you can't do something with the keyboard, you can do the
gesture on the tablet. There are lots of things that can be done.

Hi Carol,
You have got me interested in the Amazon fire tablet. I just bought
one for my friend for Christmas.
I have no idea but does it have speech built in or is Google speech
capable of being installed on it?
I too am like you and will use window-eyes till I can't use it any
more. I have dabble with jws but find it slow and cumbersome.lol
Christmas Wishes, Bj

Yes, I also love my Alexa. I also have a Fire tablet, which has
Alexa on it. When I got my tablet, I was tryig to set up my email
and was shocked to see over 400 contacts, over 300 of which I had not
contacted either more than once or had not contacted since 2014.
There was a delete all button, but it just took me by surprise. Yes,
they already have more information about us than anyone has guessed.
As for the Win10, with a microphone, I believe Coortana or ever how
you spell it, will be doing a lot more, also. I still like
Window-Eyes, but know that eventually, Microsoft will update us
completely out of it. Meanwhile, I will use it as long as I can. I do
practice with jaws, but am a die hard WE user.
Take care,
Carol

Hi Carol,
I'm still using windows 7 and Firefox. I installed the extended
edition and it works for me. It is slow though. I had my other pc
refurbished and they put windows 10 on it. I use a program called
Reaper for multi track recording and there is a conflict in windows
10. I have to get windows 7 back on it.lol
I will give it a try before Isend it back.lol
I'm a bit like my African grey parrot. Slow to accept new things. I
think if it works don't fix it.lol Good luck with windows 10. I was
chatting to a friend and I think that technology is moving towards
voice activation. Have you any thoughts on it? Like this Amazon
Alexi. Think that's what it's called. Some of my blind friends love
it. I'm not sure about it yet. At the moment I think it is too
invasive.
Christmas Greetings, BJ

Yes, Thank you. I now have a very new and quite a bit daunting
computer with Windows 10. I have installed Window-Eyes on it and
am going to start moving files over this week. I am a bit behind
on things like ribbons, so it is taking a little longer for me to
get my head wrapped around things. Funny, but the old PC seems to
be running a bit better, except, of course, the browsers, grin. I
suppose I would get more familiar with the new one if I would just
stop using the other one. Take care.

Hi Carol,
Thank you for your kind thoughts. I hope you too are well? Not
doing great but have a battle to face in the new year. I will get
through it though and come out the other side smiling.
I'm still enjoying Christmas and like most over ate.lol
Hope Santa was good to you as well.
Christmas Wishes, BJ
