RE: two possibly dumb questions

[Rod Hutton via Talk]

Hi Linette,

In addition to the information provided by David's very informative message
I would like to add that, when using the AppGet app, there is a menu bar at
the top of the dialog which you open using the Alt key and navigate using
normal menu navigation methods, and this is where you find the View menu
allowing you to adjust which apps are displayed.

Hth,

Rod

These are possibly dumb questions, but I've been out of circulation as 
far as computers are concerned for a few years. So I humbly bow before 
the great wisdom of the tech gurus on this list.
1. Where is App Central?
2. How do you find out what apps you have and what they are for?
Thank you lotsly.

Peace.
Linette

[Van Lant, Robin via Talk]

It's really good to take note of direct page.  The security settings on my work 
laptop will not allow me to use App Get, but I can go to the app central page 
directly in my Browser, find the app and download it from there.  It's not a 
smooth, but at least I can get the job done.

For your first question, App Central is a sub-devision of the AISquared 
website. The direct link to it, is:
 https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/
Scroll down to the table on the page, and choose the category for what apps you 
want to read more about. Then, you can open an individual website for each app, 
to read more about its features and functions.

Well, that is the "old-style" way of accessing the App Central directly. 
There is a built-in way, directly in your screen reader. Press the Win-key in 
combination with the letter G, and something called AppGet will open. Here, you 
can see a complete list of apps available from App Central, or you could set it 
to show you respectively either all your currently installed apps, or only the 
apps that need an update. 
Probably, this serves as an answer for your second question.

Once AppGet is up running on your screen, arrow down to an app of interest, and 
tab over to the box that holds the short-info about the app. It typically, in 
more or less short terms, will inform you of what the app is supposed to do for 
you.If this is an app you want to install, simply tab over to the Install 
button, and press Enter, then follow onscreen instructions if any. Some apps 
will immediately install, others need some further user interaction, like 
accepting an user agreement. 
But you will always be informed if such should be the case.

When done with all your installation, simply just close the AppGet window, and 
start to enjoy the new features of the screen reader.

Hope all of this helped you one step further in realizing how beneficial the 
apps available can be. Just be aware, that some apps are more powerful than 
others, in that they will have a higher impact on the functionality of your 
screen reader. Some kicks in automatically, when certain things take place, 
like whenever a given application gets opened and activated on your computer. 
Others, are more hidden, and will need your deliberate action, to even get 
started - and they typically will be experienced as nearly stand-alone 
applications, carrying out a given kind of activity, and in general leaving 
your screen reader alone. Still others, will be there more for your pleasure, 
like a couple of games.
