Subject: RE: A blast from the past?

I began learning to work with computers on my own in 1992; my first screen
reader and synthesizer were purchased with my own funds from E V A S in
Rhode Island.  I had not known that I could have made a purchase right here
in my village through Beyond Sight, Inc. which initially was Second Sight.
I don't recall what the name of the screen reader was back then, it was most
certainly for DOS; it came with Apollo synthesizer, but not knowing much too
much about computers, I could not get it to work, so, I sent it back for a
refund.

Learning to use my computer became a huge problem for nearly five weeks!
Then I got some more information about Second Sight owned by Jim Misener.  I
visited him at home, almost a 40-minute drive from where I lived.  He talked
to me about Vocal-Eyes!  I was hesitant; he did several demos for me and
allowed me to play with his computer.  He showed me some basic Vocal-Eyes
commands.  Wow, Vocal-Eyes' responsiveness sold me at last!  I bought the
screen reader from him with Sounding Board which I still have to this day.
Later, I purchased Speak-out directly from GW Micro and I still have it,
although the battery is dead and I can't find the charger and the parallel
port connector it came with.

Jim Misener did move his company to a store front and changed its name to
Beyond Sight, Inc.  About 12 years ago or thereabout, he sold it and got out
of business altogether.

I have been a customer of GW Micro since the latter half of 1992!  I later
learned that GW Micro was an offshoot of Computer Aids Corporation which,
back in the '80's was a pioneer in its own right in the area of screen
reading technology albeit Apple's II-E was the most popular stuff in town
next to Tandy and Atari if memory serves.  I was a student at Indiana
University Bloomington when Computer Aids Corporation, Inc. made a name for
itself; however, I didn't pay any close attention to computers and held on
to my typewriter for dear life!

Some of what I said above about GW Micro may be incorrect, but I'm sure
there are more knowledgeable folks here who can bail me out by helping to
correct a few things.  Aside from anything else, that's my story as it
relates to my involvement with GW Micro!  I'll go back to watching
Window-Eyes in its hospice bed take the last breath!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado

 If this does come to fruition, the great thing is that

people have choices and they're not tied to just one thing.


They can a.  switch to a different screenreader such as NVDA, and cut

the costs of SMA's and other software agreements.



b.  They can switch to jaws, although I suspect for various and sundry
reasons a lot of people don't want to do that, because they chose
Window-eyes for a reason, but the choice is still there.


C.  they can switch to a low-cost sollution like System access, yes it
is still under development under the sero name.  It still gets updates
and is maintained.


D.

The people who still want to, can always stick with Window-eyes. The
only part

  of this choice that concerns me is that soon enough, it won't be able

  to keep up with many of the advances on the internet and
newly-released software.  If development ceases completely, they may as
well just make it free, throw it out there and say ok, have at it.


We will just have to see what happens until VFO is ready to make a
statement.  Until then it's buisness as usual.

While waiting for my computer to reboot, just to see what his response

He said that he had not heard anything official from the powers that

suspected that the owners of WE would be offered a deal to switch over to
Jaws.




Again, please keep in mind that he is just a tech at the company. He

Hi Paulette:

I'm tickled pink to learn that the Amazon Echo is not playing ball well with
your Windows7 machine.  I don't have one, so I truly can't give any advice.
However, you can get more assistance with respect to Windows10 issues on the
TechTalk mailing list.  To subscribe, send a blank text message to:

techtalk+subscr...@groups.io

If you do upgrade from Windows7 to Windows10 using the Get Windows10 app,
you'll have 30 days to roll back to Windows7 if it's not working for you.
Thereafter, you can reinstall Windows10 into a separate partition on your
computer's hard drive and enjoy the benefits of a dual boot at startup.
This way, you can keep learning Windows10 if necessary and still use
Windows7 for everything else all on the same computer.

For reasons largely work-related, I still play pinball with Windows XP and
Windows7 and won't consider an upgrade to Windows10 for as long as is
possible.

they may quit supporting WLM, and may not be any new versions but I'm still
using it on a Windows 10 PC.

I totally agree that XP is unsafe to use however there are other
considerations for not upgrading.  Some of those running XP also have
other programs that will also need to be upgraded when moving to a later
OS.  For example such things as OCR programs and such.

As I understand it, Window-eyes 9.0 is the final version that works with
xp.  I'd also like to very gently point out that if you're still running
xp, it really is time to seriously think about saving for an upgrade of
your operating system.  It's become really unsafe if you're constantly
online, and I'd really hate to see anyone get infected. Microsoft no
longer supports it so you're not getting any of the latest security
updates, and these days, security is more important than ever before.

Windows 7 has gone down in price as it's 2 versions behind the current
one. I'm still running 7 and it works very well, but my next pc will
quite definitely be running Windows 10.  All the screenreader
developers are working closely with Microsoft, and these days Windows 10
is a breeze to use.  So, upgrade with confidence.

Hey guys,
Well it appears malware bytes is not accessible any more.  I am running
we 8.4, and whenever i try and access it, it literally does nothing.  I
went to the system tray in windows 7, and tried several times to do a
left and right mouse click, and my system just keeps saying taskbar.
Then i hit the desktiop icon, and now it just came up, but there are no
accessible buttons.  When i tab around, nothing, arrow up and own,
nothing.  I'm running this on a win 7 machine.  Any ideas?

Re: we 9.2, very unresponsive

[Michael Capelle via Talk]

4 gb of ram is a very minimum basic configuration.  I usually recommend at 
least 8 gb of ram or higher.

Part of your problem could be the amount of ram you have.  On a modern
computer, I don't know that four gigs is much ram.  If I'm wrong, I'm sure
somebody will tell me.  Pam.

Subject: we 9.2, very unresponsive

Hey guys,
Alright, before i throw this computer out the window, i need some honest
feedback.  I am running we 9.2, a win 7 machine with 4 gigs of ram.  I
just upgraded to we 9.2, and to say i am disappointed is a big
under-statement.  This is by far the slowest version of we i have ever
used.  Guys at aisquared, i do not mean this in a bad way, but i really
need some insight here.  I'm just being bluntly honest.  On the web,
it's horrible.  I can press the up and down arrow keys, and literally
count seconds before it responds.  I find that it's just being very
slow.  I am assuming, that because of the new thing they did with
changing web pages, that this old machine just can't handle it.
I am planning on getting a new machine with windows 10, a solid state
drive, and 8 gigs of ram.  Please guys, i need some input here.  I fully
expected it would be a lot more responsive than this.  I am really
thinking of doing a system restore at this point.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jed
