RE: sluggish boot

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi Mike.

I'm also encountering slower startups, but I don't think it's a screen issue.  
I think it's just the nature of the beast, and as the OS becomes more and more 
complicated, the longer it takes to get up and running.  Thankfully, I haven't 
noticed any worse sluggishness once the system is running than before.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.
Kevin and Jilly

Subject: sluggish boot

Hello


My main machine installed a Microsoft update a few days ago and now it seems 
sluggish at boot.  I have read messages about Jaws users having this problem 
but is anyone else using Window-eyes getting it too?

RE: Missing Hot Keys

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

Sounds like you might have turned on the JAWS layout.  I say this because 
INSERT+S is the screen speak key, where it will say "say all".  I don't 
remember how to set this back to Window-Eyes keys.  Also, INSERT+T is the JAWS 
key to say the title bar.

Hope this helps.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

RE: Hot key for starting JAWS?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I'm assuming you're using Windows 10.  Here's what to do.

Go to the desktop and get focus on the JAWS icon.  Once you've done that, press 
ALT+ENTER to activate the properties.

Now, press TAB to get to the key option.  For my PC I have CTRL+ALT+J for JAWS, 
so I just hit J.  The above hot key is created.

Now press ENTER.  On my Windows 10 PC I get a message that you need something 
like administer level or something like that.  Just TAB to Continue, or an 
option like that and press ENTER.

Now, I don't know if the properties dialogue is closed or not, but if it isn't, 
press TAB until you get to OK and press ENTER.

That's all there is to it.  Here's one annoying thing about updating JAWS.  
Whenever you update it, the hot key is gone, so you need to do the above steps 
to get it back again.

As someone said, "That's all I have to say about that."

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

RE: nfl game pass

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I can't speak for Tunein on a PC, but the iPhone version has regular season and 
playoff NFL games archived.  I checked for the Dallas game from last week, but 
it wasn't archived, at least not yet.  I like Tunein on my iPhone, because for 
$10 per month I get all the major pro sports in the U.S., and MLB games are 
archived, and I think this is true for other pro sports.  Just recently I 
listened to last year's Dallas Green Bay playoff game.  As I said, I don't know 
how Tunein works on a PC.

RE: Jaws-key, can it be remapped?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

Here's how to change the JAWS key to the CAPS LOCK key.

Hit INSERT+J.  In your setup the INSERT key is the JAWS key.

Go to the options menu.  If you have JAWS running in the system tray, you'll 
land on this menu choice.  This is how I run JAWS.  I'm not sure what JAWS 
looks like if not run from the system tray, but you want to get into the 
options menu.  Hit ENTER on that choice.

Now you'll be in the options menu.  Go to BASICS and press ENTER.

Now you'll be in a dialogue.  TAB around until you hear KEYBOARD LAYOUT.  My 
guess is you have it set to desktop.  Change it to laptop.

Finally, TAB to apply if it's available, hit ENTER on it, then hit ENTER on OK.

That's all there is to it.  If you have other questions, speak up.  I don't 
know all the JAWS commands, but I do know some basic ones, and I can search 
through the JAWS info to help.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

RE: Window-eyes commands using Jaws

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi Brenda.

I'll answer how you change what the mouse can read with JAWS.  In JAWS, you're 
restricting what the mouse, or JAWS cursor in JAWS lingo does.  My instructions 
deal with using the numeric keypad.  First, get the JAWS cursor focus by 
hitting the numeric dash key, which is the upper right key on the numeric 
keypad.  Next, hit JAWS+R to change the restriction of the JAWS cursor.  The 
JAWS cursor is the INSERT key on the numpad.

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi.

I called up VFO with the following question, and I was told I'd be called back. 
 What happens if you own both JAWS and Window-Eyes?  I have an SMA for WE, and

 Just select the folder you want the message moved to and press ENTER.

RE: Going Backward in Accessibility?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi all.

I agree with Chris to a point.  We have more accessible programs than in the 
past, however, things could be better.  I approach things with the saying, if 
you want to attract flies, it's better to use honey than vinegar.  We need to 
convince manufacturers of software and other electronic devices to add features 
that not only the blind could use, but other people as well.  I have three 
examples of this thinking.

I remember when the Kurzweil Reading Machine first came out.  It was amazing 
that a machine in the mid 70's could take print from a book and convert it to 
speech.  The speech wasn't the best, But it was useable, and for the nice 
little cost of $50,000 you could get one.  As the years went by the KRM went 
down in price, and, last I heard, when it was around you could get one for 
around $6,000.  Now, go ahead a few years to the PC.  Someone thought that, 
rather than storing papers in files, they could be scanned as images into a PC 
and be read that way.  Then someone had a thought.  Maybe this person saw a 
KRM, and he or she thought, "Wouldn't it be neat to convert those images into 
text files which could be edited?" and, BANG!  OCR came to a PC.  In late 1990 
or early 1991 I got OmniPage for my PC, and I was able to do OCR on the PC.  I 
had better vision than now, but I think I was able to use the software with 
little effort.  Then, a few years later, assistive technology comp
 anies like Kurzweil came out with OCR solutions for the blind.  Kurzweil isn't 
cheap, but for a little over $1,000 you can get it.

Another great example of what I'm talking about is the iPhone.  In this case, 
Apple went the opposite way than OCR.  They put VoiceOver on the phone 
specificly for the blind, and those of us who used the phone thought that it 
was nice to have speech out of the box, and not costing anything for it.  Next, 
Siri came along, and both sighted and blind found it nice to ask Siri questions 
and get a response from the iPhone.  Now, I see this option as a bonus, 
especially when Hey Siri is on, which has the phone listening for you to say 
"Hey Siri" and the phone then waits for your question.  This is specificly nice 
for drivers of vehicles who shouldn't look at the iPhone when driving in 
traffic at a high rate of speed.

Finally, I'd like to report on another device that has become more accessible, 
and that's TV.  This includes the Apple TV, and other streaming content.  Some 
cable providers have implemented speech to access their content.  In fact, this 
week I got a laptop from Spectrum.  Some of you out there might say this isn't 
a good solution, but I'll point out a few things about it.  First, you can 
stream live content to the laptop, and there are quite a few channels 
available.  Second, there's a guide that you can access to learn what channel 
is shown, what's currently on the channel, and what's coming up.  Finally, the 
laptop has a SAP option that you can activate, and, if the station has SAP 
available you can turn it on.  I haven't found a show with DVS, but one is on 
Fox tonight, and I'll tune into it to see if it is described.  Also, if you 
should decide to go the laptop route, don't believe that you have to use the 
mouse pad to access things.  The software works perfectly well wi
 th a keyboard.  As I said, this option may not work for some, but, since I'm 
the only one in the apartment it works well for me.

My point for this long message is that things aren't perfect, but they could 
definitely be worse.  When I talk to manufacturers about accessibility, when 
possible, I mention how a feature would benefit both the blind and sighted.  
Siri is such a thing, and, so long as companies remember to give verbal or 
tactile feedback, we'll have accessible items.

That's all I can think of to write.  For those of you frustrated with what 
you're using, I can sympathize, and hope you get a working solution that you're 
satisfied with.  If not, consider what I've said.  Tell companies how it would 
benefit them to make something accessible, and if possible, show them how not 
just the blind, but everybody could benefit by this improvement.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

RE: Need Help getting Speech back

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi Dave.

Have you tried switching to different speech synthesizers?

The only other thing I can think of is the volume of your synthesizer is low.  
Window-Eyes controls the speech volume independent of the sound card, at least 
that's my experience.

If none of this works, I'd get hold of tech support.

You could uninstall and reinstall Window-Eyes, but if I did this, I'd use the 
emergency remove tool to get rid of everything WE related.

Good luck.

RE: Reminiscing about old Screen Readers and Synthesizers

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I know I'm late in this thread, but I'd like to add my own experience with 
screen readers.

My first computer with speech was an Apple II E with the Echo II board and 
software from Street Electronics.  I got that for my graduation from high 
school.  I remember the speech package costing $150, which was a steal in 1984. 
 It didn't read everything, but it did all right for what I used it for.

I got my first PC in October of 1986.  I didn't have speech for it for two 
years, so I had to use the little vision that I had to use it.  In the fall of 
1988, I got a speech package that I haven't heard anybody mention.  It was the 
Speaqualizer from APH.  What made this package unique was it didn't rely on a 
program loaded from the PC's disk drive.  It was totally hardware based.  It 
had a board that was placed in the PC, and a box that controlled it was 
connected to the board.  What was really nice about this synthesizer was it 
worked right when you turned on the PC.  In 1990 I got an 80/386, and I updated 
the Speaqualizer to work with this PC.  Since it wasn't software based and 
worked before the PC booted, I was able to access and change settings in the 
BIOS.  The speech wasn't the best, but it served me well for ten years.  Now I 
use software speech, so I can't delve into the system before it's up and 
running.

Just thought I'd share my experiences.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

RE: searching for files in Windows 10

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

Here's what I do to search for files and folders in Windows 10.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder where the file or subfolder 
is.  If you don't know, you can go to a folder above where you want to do your 
search.  The method I do looks in subfolders.

Press CTRL+F and you'll be placed in a search edit area.

Type all or part of the file or folder you're looking for.  As an example, I 
use this feature to look for mp3 files.  If, for example, I want to find Call 
me by Go West, I can simply type

West call

And any files or folders with west and call in their titles will be displayed 
in the list of results.

To get to the list of results, hit TAB two or three times to get there.

That's all there is to it.

RE: AI Squared has a new parent company

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I wouldn't assume that Window-Eyes will disappear.  If I heard correctly on the 
email list, FS is selling JAWS at a large discount.  From my experience this 
means they're getting rid of it for something else.  I think it's too soon to 
speculate on what will happen.  I personally have both screen readers 
mentioned, and if one of them did some tasks better I'd use it since it's my 
preference, but it doesn't work as well, so I use the other one which works 
better for me.

Screen readers and monopolies.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I'll be watching what happens with this new merger with interest.  I have two 
main things to mention.

First, congrats to all who kept this quiet.  Apple needs to learn from this 
news.

Second, and my main topic, is the thought that this new company is a monopoly.  
It's not.  It doesn't stop other companies like NVDA from continuing to make a 
good screen reader.  Sure, the big companies will probably combine their 
resourses, but it's not a monopoly.  If you want to talk about a true monopoly, 
why don't we mention Apple?  What other screen access software besides 
VoiceOver is available for their devices?

Just my thoughts.  I'm looking at this in a positive mode.  I do have my 
concerns, but I'm not upset...yet.

Where can I learn to use Office 365?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

In particular, I'm interested in learning Excel 2016, but I figure that I might 
as well learn all the Office suite of programs.  This would help me in 
employment.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

What advantage will an accessible Edge browser be over Internet Explorer?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

The subject says it all.  I'm a happy user of IE, but there may be some things 
that Edge will do that it can't.  The only thing Edge will have over IE is it 
will be more current.

The discussion of different browsers reminds me of 20 years ago.  Back then, 
the browser of choice was Netscape.  I was happy using that, then IE came 
along.  It took screen readers a while to work with the new browser, but they 
eventually did.  I figure that Edge will be similar.

Just some thoughts and a question to ponder.

Have a blessed day, and don't work too hard.

RE: Update Warning

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I was one of those who went from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 the day it was 
released, but I had some issues with this PC.  Elloquence would get stuck on a 
phoneme, and the only way to fix it was to turn the PC off and back on again.  
Even worse, the PC would randomly reboot itself.  I ended up sending it to the 
Lenovo hospital where they replaced the hard drive.  Thankfully the computer 
was still under warranty, so I didn't have to pay for the repair.  I then 
decided to give Windows 10 another try, but the same thing with speech getting 
stuck happened again.  I called up Microsoft Accessibility and reverted to 
Windows 8.1.  I was a happy user of 8.1, until a couple of weeks ago when my 
speech did what it did in 10.  I discovered that the problem was in the USB hub 
that I had my external sound card and wireless keyboard connected to.  I then 
decided to once again try Windows 10, and, knock on the wooden computer table, 
I've had no problems.  I upgraded on February 13, so it's be
 en a little less than two weeks ago.

I'm sharing this to let those who think it's important to update to the latest 
OS that there are circumstances where this may not be the best thing to do.  
Believe it or not, I have a PC that will be fifteen years old in October of 
this year, and it has XP on it.  I haven't had a single problem with that old 
desktop PC, and it has been on constantly for most of its life.  I have a ham 
radio program on it which allows other ham radio operators the ability to 
connect to a radio that I have hooked to the PC so that they can talk to hams 
in the Lexington, Kentucky area.  Sometimes the latest and greatest thing isn't 
necessary.  Don't get me wrong, I really like Windows 10, and I don't regret 
upgrading to it on my Lenovo laptop.  Just realize that not everybody has 
different levels of hardware that may limit them to a certain OS.

Just something to consider.

Have a blessed day, and don't work too hard.

Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY

How do I change a view in Windows 8.1: RE: Changing the folder view in Windows 10 Was RE: Trying to find a Window-eyes setting

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I'd like my folder settings in Windows Explorer to be applied to all
folders.  I'm using Windows 8.1.  I tried to follow the steps for Windows
10, but I didn't find an options choice in the File menu.  I have music on
my PC that has their years in the file, and I have one folder configured the
way I want the details displayed.  How do I get this to be applied to all
folders?

Thanks for the help.

Has Window-Eyes been updated so the mouse stops at the bottom of the screen?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

Ever since Window-Eyes 9, I've had a problem reading information with the
mouse.  Specificly, if I moved the mouse to the bottom of the window, then
hit the mouse down key, the mouse would go beyond this boundary, and read
information that I don't think is visible to the screen.  If the mouse was
in this spot, and I tried to copy a file, WE would not work, and I'd have to
hit the hot key to restart it.  I was wondering if this issue has been
fixed.  Last time I checked, in Window-Eyes 9.2, the problem was still
there, but I thought an update would solve the problem.  I was using
Window-Eyes in Windows 10, but due to other issues I had to revert back to
Windows 8.1.  Because of these issues with Window-Eyes, I've had to use a
different screen reader.  I'd be tempted to use WE 8.4, but I don't know how
well it works with Outlook 2016.

 

Any help would be appreciated on this.

RE: Synthesizer or Speech Card Behavior on Asus Zenbook

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

Here's another way to get rid of distortion from a PC's built in sound card.

In Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, hit the Windows key.  You'll be at a spot
where you can type text.

Type in the following:

Change sound

Now hit the down arrow key.  You want the Change Sound Card Settings choice.
Press Enter on it.

You're now on the playback page of a dialogue, and your sound devices are
there.  I'm assuming that your default sound device is the internal card of
the PC.  With things this way, arrow through the list of devices until you
hear the one that's the default choice.

TAB twice.  You'll land on a properties button.  Press Enter on it.

Now, hit CTRL+TAB to get to the levels page.  You'll be on the volume
setting of your sound device.  Use the arrow keys to adjust it to where it's
a good level.

TAB to OK, press Enter, TAB to OK again and press Enter.

That's all there is to it.

Hope this is useful.  It works great for me.

Have a good day, and don't work too hard.

RE: Windows 10 question

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

When I first went to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, I didn't have the startup
sound for Windows.  I went into the Sounds setting to make sure it was
checked, and it was.  I don't know what happened, but on my PC, a few days
later the sound started working.  Go figure.  The only thing I can think of
that happened is there was an update to Windows 10.

Just for your information.

RE: windows 10

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

Here's how to make Windows not require a signon password.  I can't remember
who sent this, but it worked great.

1. In a run dialogue box or command prompt, type control userpasswords2 and
press enter.

2. Uncheck the checkbox that reads, users must enter a username and
password and click ok.

3. Type the password for your account and press enter.

Have a good day, and don't work too hard.

Hi all.

 

I want to thank Chris for the instructions to get rid of the Windows

RE: I don't have to sign into Windows 10 to use Cortana, thanks Chris.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi paulette.

If you're familiar with Apple devices, Cortana is like Siri.  You can ask it
different questions, and it will either answer them with its female voice,
which sounds quite good, or it will open a web page in your default browser
so you can read the information.  One thing you can ask Cortana is Tell me
a joke.  Her humor is right up my alley.  You can ask the time,
temperature, weather, and many other things.  Some of these are just for
fun, but some of what Cortana can do is pretty impressive.

To activate Cortana in Windows 10, hit the WINDOWS key to activate the start
menu, then TAB once to get to the microphone button.  Hit SPACE on it, and
you should hear a tone from Cortana, indicating you can speak to her.
Another tone will sound to indicate the information is being processed, and
you will either get an audio answer from her, or a web site will open.

If you don't see a microphone button, then it means you have to set up
Cortana.  I called up Microsoft accessibility to do this, so I don't know
what all is needed to be done.  Contrary to what the consultant told me at
Microsoft, you don't need a logon password to get it to work.  You do,
however, need a Microsoft account, and if you have an Outlook.com account
you're good to go.

One thing I almost forgot.  You can have Cortana automaticly activate when
you say Hey Cortana.  I personally don't use this, because anything in the
vicinity of the microphone can activate it.

That's about all I can think of to mention.  Hope this is useful.

Have a great day, and don't work too hard.

A complaint and observation of Cortana.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

First, I'm going to do my subject in the reverse order.  I had trouble
setting up Cortana, and I had to call Microsoft Accessibility to get it
working.  I was using JAWS to do this, and it wasn't reading the screen.  I
decided to check the screen with Window-Eyes, and it read it with no
problem.  So, at least for me, Window-Eyes does something JAWS doesn't.

 

Now for my complaint.  If you use Cortana, you have to have a password to
sign into Windows, at least that's what I was told.  I'd rather have Windows
boot up directly to the desktop.  Oh well.  Microsoft has its reasons for
doing things the way they do.

 

Just some information for you.

How do you set up Cortana in Windows 10?

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

Today I decided to try out Cortana.  I wasn't sure what to do, so I did some
searches on it.  The information I found to set it up was confusing, so I
called up Microsoft Accessibility.  The person who helped me got it working.
You need a Microsoft account to use it.  Other than this, is it possible to
set up Cortana using WE, and if so how do you do it?

 

Thanks for the information.

I'm encountering a couple of issues with Window-Eyes and Windows 10.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

I was successfully able to install Windows 10.  It's a bit slow on this PC,
but it's not too bad.  However, I have encountered some problems with
Window-Eyes 9.2, and I'd like some help solving them.

 

First, when I opened Outlook 2013, Window-Eyes was very sluggish in
responding to keyboard commands.  I'd hit the down arrow key to go to the
next message, and Window-Eyes wouldn't respond for two seconds.

 

Now for the more serious problem.  I figured that rebooting the PC wouldn't
hurt, so I did.  Window-Eyes loaded, but it gave the four descending tones
indicating a driver wasn't working.  Rebooting the PC didn't fix this issue.
I understand that WE doesn't use the mirror driver with Windows 10, so I'm
not sure what's happening.

 

I'd like some help solving these two issues.  I've been forced to use my
other screen reader to do my work.  Anybody have ideas?  AI Squared will be
getting a call from me tomorrow to solve this.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Update on my Window-Eyes installation.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

As I mentioned in a prior message I decided to install Window-Eyes 9.2.  I'm
kind of the adventurous sort and figured I could sort out things.

 

First, I agree with what someone said.  If you already have a screen reader
besides Window-Eyes on your PC, do the custom install.  If the other screen
reader is set to automaticly start when the computer is turned on, and you
do a standard install, Window-Eyes and the other screen reader will both
start talking.  Thankfully I sorted that out.

 

I haven't done a lot of using Window-Eyes with my PC other than email, but
I've decided to have WE as my main screen reader.  I'll have to get used to
the keyboard layout, but I can do that.

 

Now to check if I can get Windows 10.

 

Have a good day, and don't work too hard.

Thanks to a message on another topic on the list I think I was able to change my email program in Windows 8.1.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

I had my Lenovo laptop reformatted to factory defaults due to an internet
issue.  In the process of getting things working properly, I accidently
changed my default email program to the program on the start screen.  I was
going to live with this until I saw a note telling how to change the default
browser in Windows 10.  I decided to try the following.  I hit CTRL+ESC and
typed in default email.  I then found change default email, and bam!  I
think I have Outlook as my default email program.  I'm not sure of this
until I get an email message to test this.  In any case I hope this will
help someone else.

 

Just for your information.

I have a couple of questions egarding installing Window-Eyes 9.2.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

I discovered a bug in Window-Eyes 9.x, where if you're in Windows Explorer
in Windows 8.1, and you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, you can
hit the down arrow key on the numpad and go lower than this point.  If the
mouse is in this location, and you try to copy or cut a file in the list,
Window-Eyes would stop speaking, and I'd have to restart it.  I've decided
to install 9.2 on this PC anyway and work around the bug.  I'm using another
screen reader, and I'm willing to switch between it and Window-Eyes for my
work.  I do have a couple of questions regarding installing Window-Eyes on
this PC.

 

First, I have a basic question.  How do I view the status line of the
Windows Explorer?  I think CTRL+INSERT+S will do this, but I'm not sure.  I
like to check the number of files in a window, so this is important to me.

 

I'd rather use my current screen reader to start Windows, then I can exit it
and start Window-Eyes.  Whhen I install Window-Eyes, will there be a fight
between it and my screen reader, or is the installer smart enough to not
have Window-Eyes automaticly start?

 

That's all I can think of for now.  I'm eagerly waiting for Windows 10 to
come out tomorrow, and I plan on installing it.

 

Have a great day, and don't work too hard.

I've just installed Window-Eyes 9.2 on my Windows 8.1 64 bit Lenovo laptop, and I'm running into an interesting situation.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

As I've mentioned before, in prior versions of Window-Eyes, when I move the
mouse to the bottom of the screen I could hit the down arrow key on the
numpad and the mouse would continue beyond this point.  Now if I move the
mouse to the bottom of the screen I no longer can go below this point, but I
can't go up either.  I'm trying to read the status line in Windows Explorer
to find out how many files are in a folder.  I have a workaround for this
situation, so it's not a huge deal.

 

Just for your information.

RE: inconsistancy with sounds

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi Larry.

You're not alone with this issue.  I sometimes start Windows 8.1 64 bit, and
some of the sounds aren't there, or I should say one specific bong sound,
the one that alerts a dialogue box has opened, or when you get to the top or
bottom of a document.  I restart the PC, and sometimes I get the sound back.
I can't figure out any consistency to it, so I just deal with it.  Wish I
could give you more information, and if anyone has any idea about what's
happening, let us know.  Just sending this to say you're not alone.

RE: outlook 2013 questions

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

There's an easy  way to go from one folder to another.  Hit CTRL+Y, and
you're in a tree view.  Now you can use first letter navigation to get to
the folder you want, and once there hit ENTER on it.  Oh yeah, if a group of
folders is closed, hit RIGHT ARROW on the closed group to open it.

Hope this is useful.

Looking for good security software that works with Window-Eyes.

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

 

I just had my PC reformatted thanks to something drasticly slowing my
internet.  It's working great now, but I need to find security software that
works with Window-Eyes.  The factory reinstall has McAfee, and from what I
hear that isn't screen reader friendly, plus I don't know if this version
will work for a limited time before you have to buy it.  I was using Vipre,
but it didn't catch whatever slowed my internet, so I'm hesitant to
reinstall it.  Malware Bytes is another that I'm willing to look at, and
I've heard the latest version of it works decently with screen readers, but
I need to know for certain before I do anything.  Two others that I'm
considering are Defender and Nod 32.  Which of these is good for my needs?
Last time I did something to this PC I had Microsoft accessibility uninstall
McAfee and then I installed Vipre, but almost immediately after I did this
my internet slowed way down, to the point I was getting download speeds in
bytes per second, and often the downloads would time out.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

RE: Seeking Your Input

[Kevin Minor via Talk]

Hi.

I'd like the bug that lets you move the mouse below the bottom of the screen
fixed.  Because of this problem I'm using a different screen reader, and I'd
prefer to use WE.
