Re: Installing Win10
My suggestion would be to check with the people at the Microsoft accessibility desk. The reason I suggest this is that my Windows 7 computer was not compatible with the upgrade. It was a Depp PC and both Microsoft and Dell said not to upgrade as all that would happen would be that my PC would be in a permanent loop. It might be worth talking with Microsoft for help. Their number is (800) 936-5900. Carol On 6/20/2019 2:07 PM, David via Talk wrote: To the tech guys on this list, In about 6 months Microsoft will end the support for Win7. My Good old working-horse of a computer might then be retired to make it for a backup system. I do have a computer stored away in a closet, which has a broken version of Win8.1 on it. That is, it does not start up, only presents some kind of an error screen, informing me the Windows is not a valid version. Was a computer I bought second-handed, and apparently the seller was no honest guy. Now, I wonder if I might go for a full version of Win10, and simply wipe out the old hard drive on that computer, and do a totally clean install of Win10. I would be buying the Win10, through the Microsoft store, and hence get a downloadable of the operative system. Never been using Win10, and only have paid half an ear to any discussion on the matter. But I seem to remember something about it being possible for a blind to install the OS all without eyes. Is that correct, and does it even apply when I will be doing a clean - all from scratch - installation? Could of course go and buy a brand new computer, but they tend to be loaded with all kinds of bloatware, over here. And the store I saw the other day, offering to install a clean win10 on their new systems, asked a price for the windows, about 20% more than what I see it advertised in Microsoft Store. Would then be a better business to get the broken win8 machine of mine going. Thanks for all input you can give me on the matter. I will not be doing my choice all at this time, but will be nice to know what to do, once the right time or offer comes up. ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

virtual viewer question
Hi Group, I am not certain I am using the correct name for the app, but it is the one where one presses ctrl-alt-v to enable. My brother is the administrator for his pc. His wife also has her own desktop and login. On her side, pressing ctrl-alt-v opens the little app that allows one to read the screen. It works properly. On my brother's side, when he presses the keystrokes, he gets absolutely nothing. Can anyone give me suggestions for him to try? Thanks. His did work, but does not work today.

Fwd: Android TV box
Hi Group, My brother has an issue that is not WE related. It is, however, somewhat screen reader related. I am sending a copy of an email that he sent me requesting I see if I can help him get ansswers for. He has a device called Argosy. It allows him to put his recorded programs on external hard drives and take them with him when he is not at home. It requires quite a lot of memorizing on his part to find specific programs. Youu know, kind of like trying to find a specific file on your hard drive with no speech. Supposedly, there is something available that might talk to him, but sighted people, as is often the case, do not know how to check out anything that might require speech. You know, it isn't in their field of training. I am forwarding this message to see if anyone has any knowledge about what he is looking for or if anyone has a geeky tech friend that could advise him. Thanks. Carol Forwarded Message Subject:Android TV box Date: Sat, 18 May 2019 00:05:01 -0400 From: W. Craig Easter To: Carol and Roger I have been trying to figure out the best way to handle what I am looking for. My requirements are: Must be able to handle USB drives larger than 2Tb. Must be able to play DVD folders (VIDEO_TS) folders and bring up menus from there. Must have a remote with big enough buttons for fat fingers. must have A/V out ((red, white and yellow) RCA outputs HDMI soley is no good. Must be able to turn on "accessability". I am currently using an Argosy HV335t that can hold upto a 2TB internal drive and has 2 USB ports that can handle larger Seagate drives. I have been able to use a 3TB, 4TB and a 8TB hub. If I can get one that will allow recording in .MPG format, and also has the red, white and yellow RCA inputs, that would make it even better with the talking software working. I currently use an Argosy HV359t to do this but require sighted assistance for timer recording. There is something called a Himedia Q10 that holds an internal drive 3.5 or 2.5 larger than 2TB but I cannot verify the outputs and talking ability. If you could pass this along to some of your tech contacts, I would appreciate it as I am getting frustrated. I am my most knowledgeable tech guy. Thanks, and Love, -- W.

First, make sure you have the factory settings for Chrome installed. You can see if they're installed and install them if not by opening the Window-Eyes control panel, Alt+F File, F factory Settings. Then when you install the app it will tell you that chrome.set is being replaced. This is needed to make the app work properly. Here's what the app does. 1. Speaks alert messages, such as download progress and completion. When a file is downloaded the message from Chrome is to press Shift+F6 to go to the download bar. 2. I added Alt+N because it's quicker and the key combination used in Internet Explorer to go to the notification bar for the same purpose. All it's doing is inserting Shift+F6. And it's not tied to the notification. So if you happen to press it without a file downloaded it will just put you up in the address bar. F6 will put you back in the main window. 3. Suggestions entered in the address bar as you type will be spoken. For example, if you type yo, YouTube.com will probably be voiced. These are just pulled out of your history. When you hear the right address just press enter. Unfortunately because you come in on the address bar when Chrome opens, and it doubles as a Google search field, you'll hear everything you type repeated as you type it if there are no suggestions. Obviously there's no way I can tell what you're typing or if it's in your history. Also, the suggestions might not be heard when you first open Chrome. The reason I replaced the set file is so that I could set keyboard interrupt to program scope. Then I set it to control and alt only when you're in the address bar and back to whatever you had it set to when you're not in the address bar. The problem is I have to monitor for the chrome.set file to be loaded before grabbing it. And the stars might not line up in time if you open chrome and start typing immediately. Although you'll probably hear a little snippet of the suggestion. Then you can use the read line hot key to see what's there. And finally, I didn't put error reporting in the app because it uses the GW-Micro App Central server. So if you have any problems you can email me at tom.kings...@charter.net You can also open the Window-Eyes control panel, Alt+A Apps, App management, App manager, select the app, press Alt+H to open Help and Options, then press the About button. There's a Contact author button in there. And of course you can post any problems here.

They made some changes years ago that screen readers had to work around in order to get into the windows. So nothing really works conventionally there. That was when we lost the mouse in TB as well.

Hi Rod, I checked out your suggestion.

need help with Ebay page
Hi Group, My brother has an issue with WE and Ebay that I do not have. My page works properly, his does not. When I go to a page and do a search, I get a standard page and pressing H takes me to each heading for the search results (once I have gotten past the typical Ebay headings.) Let's say we do the same search. My result is that I get 63 headings and 42 results. He does the exact same search and gets 15 headings and the only way he can get to the search results is to tab through all of the 200 links. Therefore, he has to listen to all kinds of extraneous information like buy it now, price, shipping cost, etc. My headings simply go to the next item. He is making a guess that there are three columns on his screen and the information he wants is in the middle column, but WE will not take him there. Even if he does a search and finds the first result, he still can not get to the next item by pressing H. If anyone can give me a hand in trying to help him, this would be greatly appreciated. He has had this issue once before and was able to restore the computer to a previous setting and all worked properly again. The other issue with this situation is that his wife, when his screen was not working correctly the previous time, had a normal screen. This time, both screens are messed up and he can not find out how to disable his anit-virus, whish I believe is AVG. His restore says he can not restore due to his anti-virus blocking the restore process. Thanks for any assistance.

Re: `news about jws
One thing some people may have forgotten or were not on board with WE early enough was thay they also charged extra for pro versions of Window-Eyes. It seems to me that it was at least $100 more than the standard version because I did not have pro and a friend did. When the time came that I needed pro, I did have to find the money to do so. The difference between the two companies is that all upgrades cost the same for WE and JFW charges more for the pro version upgrades.

Re: Did You Accidentially Delete A Message? {Was} NVDA mailing list
Well, some of us use shift-delete. There is no going back from that one. Also, if one should think they are finished with email and close the program, there goes the trash on many systems. So, it is not always so easy to bring back something from the trash folder. One must remember they needed that file before leaving the mail program. I have personally tried to help others that have lost files this way. The only way to be sure a message is not deleted until you delete it from the trash is to make certain that "empty trash on exit" is turned off. This means you will have to empty the trash as you go along. Carol On 3/1/2018 11:42 AM, David via Talk wrote: For all members of the list, As a friendly reminder: We all eventually touch that Delete-key, when it was inconvenient. That important message should not have been deleted; and what do you do now? First of all, all the mail clients I have been in touch with, do have a Trash folder. Whenever you hit the Delete-key, messages typically are moved there. They are not altered, or modified in any way. As a matter of fact, do you go to the trash folder of your mail program, you can quickly "re-insert" the message, back inot the folder it originally belonged to. So, before asking the group members to send out yet another message, generating extra clutter on the list, and taking up time from others, may you please check your trash folder first. One thing is, when you have deleted a message that is several days, weeks or even months old. It then could be a mess to try refinding it in the trash folder. But if you know it is only a few days ago the original message was received, it should be not too hard to bring it back on-stage. Oh for sure, there is a way to permanently delete a message. It might often be a combo with the delete-key, like Shift-Del, or Ctrl-Del - depending on your mail client. Did you happen to use that combo when deleting the message? Please, don't despair all yet. At the bottom of any message from the list, there is a short note that reads: List archives can be found at http://lists.window-eyes.com/private.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com How about that? Smiles. And then, what if you are using a web-based mail service? I was under the impression that even those services do offer the Trash feature, although they might name it indifferently. OK, was it only a short note you are looking for, like a mail address or some subscription information, it might not be too hard for others to retype and resend the info. But what about when you ask for a wtep-through guide of some sort? Besides, even refinding subscription info or the like, might take a bit of time from others, in their sincere wish to help you out. Again, I did not mean to discourage anyone from asking questions on the list. I just wanted to remind all, that sometimes our mistakes do call for a tiny bit of fooling around, on our own computer. Smiles. Let's ask the list, when we do not have a chance of getting to the info ourselves, or when we know someone might have an answer that works the best. this list is not the worst, believe me. I have seen lists where people tend to ask the same old questions over and over again, or spread the same old story or other information. It seems no trouble, it is only a line or two. But did you all know, an electronic mail holds numerous lines. It has a load of technical information enclosed, to let the servers between you and the recipient know how to handle the message. If the mail is written in HTML, it will hold loads and hives of coding. All-in-all, even if you only typed in 23 characters, your actual load on the net servers might be more like 1000. In today's world, 1000 characters, or approx one Kilobyte, might seem harmless. But what do you think, if one thousand users do the same? Or even, remember when you ask a question, someone has to reply, and their reply might hold even a copy of your message, raising the total load into the multiples. As a matter of fact, even small clutter on every list, might bgenerate tons of unnecessary net resources. And net resources are not out of the blue. They do take servers to spin, fans to cool, and distribution centrals for the cabling to operate. All of this takes electricity. Well, not much to bother, but still might be worth to remind us all sometimes. BTW, it was told on the radio the other day, that when you have a video conference with your friend - say over services like Skype, the two of you are actually generating loads of net resource consumption. "Ah," you might think, "Can't really amount into anything much. After all, it is all electronics!" Surprise! At least I got quite astonished, when learning that such a simple video conference, actually consumes electrical power, equal to that of having TWO refridgerators running simultaneously and continiously. Anyone wondered why we pay for our internet subscription? Smiles. On 3/1/2018 4:31 PM, BK via Talk wrote: Hello, the

Re: Total Recorder
Hi Larry. I was able to record 3.5 hours of streaming today. I used the scheduler. The other thing I did was to change power settings so my PC would not sleep or turn off devices like the internet. This was something I never had to worry about in Windows 7. I just said don't sleep and nothing did, grin.

The gap here might be that I am using the professional edition. With the pro edition, you can schedule recording sessions, and in theory, and even in fact, they can go on until you run out of drive space. The streams that I record are .mp3, and the longest one I've recorded was twelve hours without a hitch. I say all that to say this. I do have a problem more often than I would like with recordings that just quit with no real explanation. I think I would give my right arm if I could find a way to do something about it. The thing is, the recording session doesn't shut down when this happens, but stays open until the end of its scheduled time. I even have TR set to reconnect when it loses the connection, at least that is what I think is happening here, but no go. OK, maybe I wouldn't give my right arm, but maybe a steak or chicken dinner if someone could help me to figure this one out.

Total Recorder
Is there anyone on the list that uses Total Recorder standard version 8.? I want to record something that runs for more than two hours. It always stops early. How can I get something to record until I come back and turn it off? Thanks. Also, are there either tutorials or a written manual? I hate trying to find things in the help screens from the internet.

Re: file explorer in win 10
Hi Peter, I don't know that this will help, but if I get that problem, I do a shift-tab and then it seems to work properly. If you listen carefully, you will probably hear something like "name closed" which means you are not directly in the list of files and folders. A shift-tab will put you in the correct place for arrowing up and down through files.

Anyway, regardless how they are set, you will neeed to configure this by opening any folder on your system, set it up the way you like it, and then make it global. This is done by opening any folder on your system, in the View tab, opened with Alt-V, L, and then you'll will get a drop-down with the display options arranged, in typical confusing Windows 10 fashion, as a grid of options. Arrowing left and right, up and down, find detailed view, and press Enter. Okay, after doing this, you'll want to return to the View tab by pressing Alt-V, and then tabbing through other options for customizing your View, namely, whether you want your files and folders sorted ascending or descending, etc, by name, date, and the latter is what I prefer, in contrast to the Windows default on all systems, but it's your choice. Again, once you pick each setting, you press Enter to activate it, and this often closes the tab; If not, however, you can always Escape out. Finally, you can set the settings to apply to your whole system by finding the traditional Folder options dialog which you'll recall from Windows 7. This is also in the View tab and the shortcut is Alt-V, Y, and press Enter. As in the old days, once the Folder options dialog is open, Ctrl-tab brings the View tab to focus, and you can tab to the Apply button to globalize your settings. As a rule, everything that was in Windows 7 in present in Windows 10; They're just in the ribbons of the application you're using, including Explorer. I hope this was helpful.

Hi Robert, Find keyboard and press right arrow twice. Now, you can down arrow to speckal keys. Tab twice and you will be in a combo box. Down arrow to off. Press tab twice and make sure all items you do not want repeated say off. Finally, tab to save and press enter. This next process is not necessary, but I like to keep all of my nodes closed to prevent my making unwanted changes.

Re: WE and Office 2016
Hi Steve, I have been playing around with Word and labels with no success. One thing I did notice is that WE would not speak when I tried to paste text into the box. I put an address in WordPad and copied it to the clipboard and tried to paste it into the box. It would not speeak. The box also said nothing when trying to navigate it. It would seem to me that if the text did not paste, the box should have said blank as I moved around in it. I think I will try contacting Microsoft to let them see if they can help me. I will let you know what they say. Carol On 1/24/2018 10:37 AM, Steve Jacobson via Talk wrote: Carol, I wonder if this is part of the old Microsoft bug that affected envelope addressing for years.

Re: WE and Office 2016
Hi Steve, I treated making labels the same as I would have in Word 2007. I pasted the address I needed to make the label for into the open word document. I then put the person's name in the line above the address. I then selected all and copied it to the clipboard. Next, I pressed alt-m, l to open the mailings and label group. Normally, the address shows up in the address box. It was not there, so I pasted it in. It was still not readable. I then went to options and made sure the correct label format was selected and entered on OK, in case there was a problem with the label size. The label was the correct one. The information was still not in the address box. I erased the data from the address box and then went back to the Word document where I copied the information again and went back to the labels settings again. The information did not appear in the box automatically, so I pressed ctrl-shift-w to read the screen contents. The information was not there, either. I pasted it into the box again and pressed ctrl-shift-w again and the data still did not appear. This time, I printed it out anyway. The label printed, but was not spoken.

Re: WE and Goldwave
I think my problem with the arrows is not a Goldwave issue. It is almost like something in Window-Eyes is turned on that shouldn't be. I can't, though, figure it out. It keeps repeating the same thing every time I press one of the arrow keys and it does not make any difference as to which one I press. It is the dedicated arrow keys with the problem, not the mouse keys. Oh yes, thank you for your help. I gave your instructions to my brother. His is working fine. Take care.

The degree of seek that the left and right arrows perform is usually quickly set using Shift-0 through Shift-6, as seen in the View menu.

Am I to understand that upgrades from previous os, win7, for example will now need to be purchased and Win10 will not cost anything extra for updates?

I am running Win10 version 17.09, but am not certain whether this is the most current build. Do we neeed to do anything to keep up-to-date, or are updates automatically installed? Thanks.

Re: Win10 issue
Hi, The book I am reading now is Windows 10 the missing manual. It tells alot of things. Of course, if you are already a good Windows user, you have found a lot of these. I am only about four hours into the book and it is almost 30 hours of reading. It does talk about a lot of things we as blind people won't use, but it also gives keyboard commands for things that we would like to use. I believe the author is Vogue, but I haven't seen it written out yet. I found this book just by searching for windows 10. I think there was only this one, but I might be wrong about that. The headings go to four levels, so you can break things down pretty close to find things. I haven't looked yet, but there is an extensive appendices, including keyboard commands.

Re: Win10 issue
Yes, it is the book from BARD. It does mention in the book that there is a web site where things are updated, but I have not looked at that yet. I also found a daisy version from Bookshare, which will allow me to read, in print, things like keystrokes and search quickly through for specific items. I am interested in any kind of turorals I can get that will help me. I am making my way through and feeling a bit more comfortable with many things.

USB headphones with microphone
Hi, I am looking for a headset that works nicely with Windows 10 that can be used with screen readers and has a good microphone for dictation. I would like one that fits over the head, but I do not like ones that have the large cups that cover the entire ear. It would be nice if it had a control on it so I could mute it when not in use. I want something that is durable. I absolutely can not tolerate those that fit behind the head. Thank you for any suggestions.

Re: CHRISTMAS!
Hi BJ, The Fire tablet comes with VoiceView. My only problem with it is trying to type in edit boxes. You can use a USB keyboard with a little USB dongle, which I purchased from Amazon for around $5. BlueTooth keyboards work also. If you can't do something with the keyboard, you can do the gesture on the tablet. There are lots of things that can be done.

Re: viewing downloads after entering ctrlj
Hi Richard, I am only making a guess here as I don't currently have anything downloading to check with. I didn't see which browser you are using, but here are a few suggestions: control+j works in at least two browsers. I remember that one, if not both, will open in a separate window, so it might be that you will need to alt-tab to get to the downloads screen. Once there, tab through the different screens until you find one that says something like list view or view files. From there, you should be able to see what is or has reecently downloaded. There should be a link or button that will also take you directly to your downloads folder, with either the namd of downloads or, with the name of the assigned file you named for all downloads, if you changed it in your browser. The control+j is strictly a window to show progress.

Win10 and WE
Hi, My first question is a bit trivial. In My Computer, I could arrow or tab to see the size of the disk and how much space was left. Is there a way to do this in Win10? Also, Is there a way to get Win10 to behave more like Win7? I keep getting bogged down in the recent folder and favorites and all I want to do is have things back like they used to be, grin. I know things will be different, but for now, it seems like there are way too many levels and to get where I want to be, I sometimes fine myself in level 5 or 6. Can anyone give me any quick fixes to get myself organized? Thanks lots.

Re: Now for a new challenge?
Thanks. I will give that a try the next time I have the PC turned on. Right now, I am sharing monitor cable and power cord. Since I need this one more, I can only do a little at a time with the other one. Small steps --little time, grin.

Yes, I understand. I was on the phone with him last night when he had the problem. He did restart and tried both WE and jaws. I walked him through a couple of things this morning and it is now repaired. One thing that happened this morning was that his synth was changed from DecTalk Access to Eloquence. I walked him through that one and made sure he had only one screen reader running on startup. All now seems to be working. Thanks.

Re: need new PC recommendations
models. OK, lot of this info is not fully relevant, if you are looking at desktop models. They are often more upgradable, and will be less affected by things like the function key issue. As I am still hanging on to my Win7, I am not in a position to answer fully your questions around Office. But I would have thought Office 2007 might still be valid under Win10. A quick search on the net, might be a good lane to go. Why not search for something like: running MSOffice under Win10 , and see what feedback people have on the matter. Even 10-15 minutes of quick reading, might give you a pretty good feeling on how smoothly people have found the experience. As computers now aday are quite varying, if you have the time and chance, going to a store and get hands-on feeling with a couple of models, might be worth the trip. Even if you don't intend to buy from the store, do your research, make up your mind, and then go home and order over the net. Shipping a computer back and forth because you ended up with a bad product, might likely cost you more than the trip to the store. My impression is that HP due tend to show up several issues these days. Dell - and I hear some users saying Linovo - might be products to look for. But like you said, it is all a matter of personal choice. Just don't let them fool you with all the GREAT technical terms, and specs. They do tell little, should the computer happen to be a bad build. Lastly, my experience is that half the result you will get, is depending on what store you get the computer from. Reliable, well-reputed stores might be a bit more expensive, but often offers you a computer that simply just runs. And they often tend to have a better customer service program. Don't be fooled to think your new computer might not have any issues. OK, such could likely happen to be the case, and lucky you. But poor you, should the computer happen to be a trouble-maker, and you picked it up just because the store had the best price. Sad Smiles. Long answer, and I am afraid it did not exactly take you much closer. Other listers may have better and more up-to-date feedback on the matter. Just wanted to share a few of my experiences.

Re: need new PC recommendations
Thanks Michael, Yes, it looks like I am most likely heading for another desktop. I will neeed to do a bit of looking around to find just what I want. I am making a list of people's recommendations to have available once I start my shopping. It's silly, but i want to make sure I have a working microphone, grin. It is tough to join in with webinars and SKYPE and other things without one. I still use my CD/DVD burner, so I will need one of those, also. These are little minor things I don't want to forget. I figure a 256g SSD should work well with at least 8g ram. I want enough USB ports so I can hook up more than two items and I want them where I can reach them, not where I have to climb under my desk, grin.
