[Techno-Chat]; Microsoft Word 2016 Accessibility Checker

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!
I’ve not looked in the Windows 10 version of Microsoft Word 2016 yet but in the 
Mac version under the review ribbon tab there’s a Check Accessibility button 
which I assumes checks for any potential problems with the accessibility of a 
document.
Has anyone come across this function? I gather its only very new.

[Techno-Chat]; LattePanda Puts Windows 10 on a Single Board Computer

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!
A fellow list member is faced with an annoyance, his ADSL service is 
down so he has limited access to the Internet.
He was reading the list earlier this morning and wrote directly to me 
with regards to the discussion on Banana Pi, he found a Windows 10 
version and it looks quite nice, see the link below.

Re: [Techno-Chat]; Banana Pi

[Dane Trethowan]

Firstly its a P i and not P i e and I only bring this up just in case people 
are looking for more information on the web.
Yes, the second generation can run Windows 10 but its a special version and I’m 
not sure as to its accessibility though its an interesting topic to research so 
I’ll look around for more information.

Re: [Techno-Chat]; Banana Pi

[Dane Trethowan]

Yes, the format of the SD cards might be compatible but I’m not sure the 
Raspberry Pi would like Android all that much.
I’m going to keep my Rasp Pi as there’s a very nice doorbell kit I have and I 
want to install complete with fingerprint reader on the button, will SMS or 
e-mail you when the doorbell rings and so it goes.

I haven't tried a banana pi just yet, but I have been using a 
raspberry pi quite successfully for more than a year now.  I have it 
running raspbian (the raspberry version of debian linux).  But, from 
what I understand, the pi can use the sd cards created for the banana 
pi as well, though I've not got around to making an android version 
just yet.  I also have plans to test the FreeBSD version of the pi os, 
though currently, raspbian and windows IOT are the only ones I've 
tested, and  had good results with both, though I didn't keep the 
windows IOT very long, as I needed the card for other things.  Either 
way, the difference between the raspberry and the banana pi is that 
the banana has a better processor, though they both have 1gb of ram 
(if you have the pi2 or 3).  I'm using the pi 2, haven't gotten ahold 
of a pi 3 just yet, but do plan to do so in the near future, though I 
don't expect my user experience to change much, since it's nearly 
identical except for minor things besides the faster processor, which 
I don't know enough about to tell if it's equivalent to the banana or 
not.  Guess I'll find out when I get one. :)

I haven't tried a banana pi just yet, but I have been using a raspberry pi

 I’ve ordered a starter kit, the Banana Pi itself comes with 1GB of RAM.
 The kit includes the Pi along with a pre-programmed 8GB SD card which of
 course can be changed depending on the user requirements.
 The Pi comes with Android v4.2 for some reason, perhaps this is the
 latest
 version to be tested on the Pi? I’ll have to do a little research on
 that
 but again its not a particular concern I wouldn’t have thought.
 Other parts of the kit include the power supply and an Ethernet cable.
 I bought the kit from eBay and I’ve written to the seller asking him to

 he wouldn’t mind installing Google Talkback before shipping so I may be
 in
 luck there and if not? Well I’ll have to rely on another paire of

Do be honest I don’t know, haven’t handled a 4S for years so no idea of what 
they are and aren’t capable of these days and I don’t think the Old Man has 
either.
I wish he’d replace the 4S actually with.. at least.. well.. something! when 
he’s using the internal speakerphone on on that thing it sounds like someone is 
talking in sideband without the BFO.

No a little more advanced than the Raspberry Pi I think, certainly more 
advanced and powerful than the first generation of Raspberry Pi I played with 
for the last 3 years.
The Banana Pi can run multiple Operating systems which include Android thus it 
shouldn’t be too much trouble getting the Pi talking.

He could do the same thing using seri, it works exactly the same way, and 
the 4S does ineed have seri on it.

Puzzled why your friend found it problematic.

I was out and about yesterday and whilst traveling I had the pleasure of 
explaining to my friend the virtues of the Samsung Galaxy S6 of which there

I was then given a task of sending a Text Message easily from my Samsung 
Galaxy s6 to my friend's Apple 4S iPhone, sending a Text Message easily 
whilst driving was something my friend claimed he couldn't do with his iPhone 
4S


Perhaps its just me but I fond using a touch screen keyboard an absolute 
menace when on the move so I decided to employ Google Now for the Text 
Message sending, I have the Google Now Launcher installed and running by 
default.


I double-tapped the "Voice Search" button at the top right of the screen 
below the notification panel and said "Send sms to friend saying hello".


The S6 responded with "Send SMS to Friend, change it or send it", I replied 
with "Send it" and my friend then had it on his phone's screen.


Yes, nothing much in the scheme of hthings I guess but even I was surprised 
just how well google now performed the task at hand given the heavy rain and 
other traffic noise that could be plainly heard.

the raspberry pie?

I’ve ordered a starter kit, the Banana Pi itself comes with 1GB of RAM.
The kit includes the Pi along with a pre-programmed 8GB SD card which of course 
can be changed depending on the user requirements.
The Pi comes with Android v4.2 for some reason, perhaps this is the latest 
version to be tested on the Pi? I’ll have to do a little research on that but 
again its not a particular concern I wouldn’t have thought.
Other parts of the kit include the power supply and an Ethernet cable.
I bought the kit from eBay and I’ve written to the seller asking him to if he 
wouldn’t mind installing Google Talkback before shipping so I may be in luck 
there and if not? Well I’ll have to rely on another paire of eyeballs won’t i
