All current scanners could handle the DPI necessary to scan text, which I was told would never need more than 600 dotts per inch. Your discrepancy is in the software and the mainstream Finereader and Omnipage is good and in any case utilised in both adaptive OCR programs, Openbook and Kurzweil,

If it is anything like mine you will have to go to the contacts screen of skype and route jaws to pc and hit control home and arrow down to where it shows the request. At this point left click on it and it should bring it up and you can use normal navigation keys to accept the request.

[Blind-Computing] Win7 Sound option gone?

2011-07-21 Thread Brad Dunse'
Stil figuring out Win7 a bit here. I wanted to disable a playback option in Win 7's Sound applet in Control Panel because I believe I inadvertently picked it for NVDA to use, which is now silent because I'm not sure that integrated sound device is really turned on. So rather than that

I should add I did check Device Manager and it says it is there and operational. Its just not showing up in that Sound applet. Microsoft might benefit from the saying Don't make permanent problems out of temporary situations, or at least let me know I wil if I choose a disable option :).

Hi everybody, I am currently using Internet Explorer 7 with Windows XP Pro and Jaws 8. Will I run into any major problems by upgrading to Internet Explorer 8? Are there a lot of bugs I need to be aware of before I make the upgrade? If not, can someone also give me the link to download IE 8.
