Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Yeah. Someone with some influence should try and get tspivey to port Emacspeak to Windows, for good.

Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Ah, all right, I haven't noticed any performance issues when I only want to hear formatting information on request, and I haven't probably worked with that long Word documents yet, so that does make sense if the experience is like that for you.Lukas

Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Hi, I use NVDA sometimes and it does announce these features you mention. However, NVDA performs slowly on Microsoft Word, or not as fast as JAWS does, so I avoid using it. I should be honest that I tried two times with all my seriousness to switch to NVDA
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Well, I don't know what version of NVDA you last tried to use, but it definitely can announce this kind of things. Yes, it does have to be turned on (or off in a few cases, respectively), but I personally see that as an advantage. I wouldn't like
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I've tried Android too. I have a tablet running 5.0.1. It's just as bad. I just can't let go of Emacspeak. NVDA and word processors just don't get along. NVDA can't show italics and such without turning it on in some dialog, and doesn't announce when italics
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
hey devin i know what you mean. linux accessibility is definitely on the edge of a knife. my best advice is this. if you want to run a linux system with the end user in mind go get an android phone or tablet and use that. android runs on top of the linux
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Just popping in to say I agree as well, as I've discussed in other posts. Maybe someday...

Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Have you tried it? I've tried both the "new" version, running emacspeak ... 40 I think? And the old version running, 38 maybe. Old one doesn't run on windows 10, new one doesn't support audio themes nor pitch denotations.

Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Do you mean on another Operating System? Have you tried typing in "EMacSpeak for Windows" on Google? lol I did. found this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/emacspeakwin/Maybe it's not what you want, but it might be worth looking at.
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Oh, thanks. Now if I could get emacspeak working on... anything, I'd be happy. Working as in with Voxin or something, not the deprecated espeak driver. I don't know why I'm so drawn to Emacs and Emacspeak, but shoot. I am.

Becky is paid but I still can use tryal version. It warns me that my tryal has expired, but it still works anyway.

Thunderbird does the same thing to me. Isn't Becky paid though? I'd rather not have to buy an email client.

Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I'm on IMAP too, and have no problems with Thunderbird, my account has about 40 folders and about 1,000 emails in it. But my volume is low, it's taken about 20 years to collect all of that.Sounds like you need a new email address to leave all the spam
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Sounds like you need a new email address to leave all the spam behind.I've had the same email address for almost ten years and very rarely does spam ever get through to my inbox. Even better, my spam filter only has to catch maybe half a dozen spams each
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I got nothing to add here, because I already brought my opinions on Linux's strengths and weaknesses in another recent topic in the same subforum. What I'd like to mention is that I'm even no longer using Thunderbird on Windows. The thing is, I'm on imap
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
That is the one thing that keeps Linux from taking over, despite all that it has to recommend it, it is nowhere near as approachable as Windows is, and until it is, it will always remain under the Windows shadow.I will over look a lot. But I draw the line
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I will over look a lot. But I draw the line when a company thinks it can decide what I want on my computer for me. Sorry Microsoft, until you return control over updating to the user where it belongs, I will never upgrade to Windows 10.

Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Maybe i'm extremely lucky, but i have never had a microsoft update break my system. So i could give you the, oh, you will probably be fine, but i know people like to be in charge of the update process. Then again, i have several machines around the house
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I also tried Linux, Vinux in particular, a few times in the past, but like many others, I didn't like it enough to get too far. I even gave up sooner than most of you, probably. :-) I do see its potential and admire it for its philosophy and for what it means
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
At the moment, in the pro version, you can only choose to halt the updating of drivers. I really hope this changes in the near future, but I'm not holding my breath. Microsoft thinks they know best, which is a load of crap, but there's not a hell of a lot I
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Yeah, I know that someday I won't be able to avoid Windows 10, but, hopefully, some smart cookie will have figured out how to restore Windows Update to its proper place. Or just get Windows 10 Pro, even though I don't need the business features. In Pro
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Well, you can, with a bit of tweaking, force Windows Update to only notify you when updates are available, then choose to download the updates when you want to. However, that's the extent of it. Sadly, you can't pick and choose which updates you want. I do
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I'm kind of in the same boat as Arqmeister, I started off my computing life with the Apple 2 series, then in 1985 sold off all of my Apple 2 stuff and dove head long into the IBM PC compatible world, and have never looked back or anywhere else.--The first
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Yeah, but Windows doesn't seem to have anything that can rival Emacspeak. It's attention to detail, such as italicized text, links, spelling errors, and even programming, and Emacs even having its own sort of IDE... My gosh, it's just so perfect once it's up
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Yeah these are all points in which I share concerns and the unwillingness to have it be my full time OS. I'm using it in the server space where I feel its meant to be and does its best at. Windows could never do what linux does in the server space. Windows
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Yep. I will miss Emacspeak though. If someone can get that fully functional on Windows, and allow it to be upgraded to the latest git version, gosh, that'd be great. For now though, Earcons don't work, voice pitch changing, voice lock I think it's called
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
Figment, what exact issues do you have with Windows 10? I'm curious as I might be able to give you a hint on fixing some of these. I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 from 7 a few weeks ago, and within a few hours of customizing I hardly ever notice any
Re: Becoming fed up with Linux
I admire your efforts. I'm on again, off again with linux as well, and while like you, i had a ton of recent inthusiasm to try again, i always reach the same conclusion, linux is fine for servers, but not ready to replace windows or OSX. Usually what puts me
