Hi,
As far as downcast goes, I like and have been using QCast from
www.q-continuum.net/qcast
It is accessible and seems to work great.

Here's what I like about my ipad mini.
I can access bard mobile. This isn't possible on a windows computer.
Kindle for PC with Accessibility isn't nearly as accessible as it is
on my ipad mini.
I have not been able to find a program like voice dream reader for
windows.
I have not been able to find a program like downcast for windows.
With being able to lock the screen while listening to audio content on
my ipad
mini, I can increase the listening time well beyond the 10 hours you
get on a windows laptop or windows tablet.

Subject: Re: Window-eyes on a Microsoft Tablet
Many of us here don't have any vision.
If the jestures aren't too complicated, it can be done for a totally
blind person.
Many blind folks are using IOS devices, such as iPads, iPods,
iPhones, and such, and Android tablets and phones are also being used
by blind folks.
I personally don't like the jestures for Android, so I would never
have one again.
I want to see Window-Eyes work on a Windows Tablet even with a touch
screen if the jestures were easy.
If you red Jim's message, he gave some pretty good examples of how he
wants to see Window-Eyes work with a touch screen on a Windows Tablet.
<smile>
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

Would those of you enamored with touch screens explain the advantage
or attraction? I'm of course approaching this as one with no

Hay man I am so there. The cool thing is these bad boy have a usb
port on them. got my self a otg cable and now you just connect a usb
hub kick back and pound away on that old bad boy keyboard. The
speaker on this bad boy tablit are like way loud. So you will be able
to here it. now when you got to go some where you can leave the stuff
at home hook up the new blue tooth keyboard that folds up and fits in
your back pocket or get a case for the tablit and get going where
ever. You got the touch screen and keyboard. It works good. Now gw
micro here us again we want and we need touch. Look at what the
other guys are doing and for god sake do it even beter.
Not saying the others are bad but I know gw micro can do better. I
will post some of my ideas on this subject later on.

I must admit at the outset a bias on my part: I am a confirmed knob
freak at age 69. I have also operated the Apple IPhone with all of
its gestures and touch operations; and for my part, nothing beats a
good solid mechanical keyboard with real buttons that you can press
to reliably get what you want!
Perhaps touch screens will become more reliable as they improve; but
I don't think I'd want to use a tablet computer as long as I could
have something with real buttons to operate. Granted, the modern PC
has no knobs; but the buttons generally carry the same reliability
that you can get from knobs that you turn.
But for those who want touch, gestures, and all that, I sincerely
hope that Window-Eyes can someday soon run on such equipment. For my
part, though, give me knobs and buttons!

Hi
probably not, Window-Eyes does not work with touch currently.

Hi:
Can anyone tell me if Window-eyes 8 works on one of those Microsoft
Windows 8 tablets? If so, which tablets does Window-eyes work with
and which ones does it not work with?
