HumanWare Brailliant BI 32 won't work with WE 9.3 and Win 10 Pro

I just hooked up a Brailliant BI 32 running firmware 2.1.00. Under Windows 10, it claims that the brailliant is on com4. Accordingly, I told Window-Eyes 9.3 to look for it on com4. When I hit the activate button, the display goes blank as if it intends to work, then it goes back to the

RE: HumanWare Brailliant BI 32 won't work with WE 9.3 and Win 10 Pro

Yes, installed the USB driver, then the firmware; didn't bother with the JAWS 10 or later driver--didn't think that was relevant. Nolan ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent

Re: Webinar and tutorial topics - feedback requested

Obviously, I'm a month behind in my email here, but if the call for prospective webinar topics remains viable, I'd love to see something regarding the interaction of Window-Eyes and The Windows 10 equivalent of Siri. What can she do? Are there areas wherein Window-Eyes may conflict with her

Re: sound forge

I’m using Sound Forge 10 nearly every day for different tasks, and it works wonderfully for me with WE in Windows 10. Nolan Nolan Crabb, Director of Assistive Technology The Ohio State University, Office of the ADA Coordinator/Office of Diversity and Inclusion Hale Hall, 150 W. 12th Ave., Ste.

I assume this list is dead, since I’ve not received any mail from it in several days? Just testing. Nolan Nolan Crabb, Director of Assistive Technology The Ohio State University, Office of the ADA Coordinator/Office of Diversity and Inclusion Hale Hall, 150 W. 12th Ave., Ste. 15 Columbus, OH

Can't Even Read the Dots, Let Alone Connect Them (HumanWare)

So I've fought this for weeks including three calls to HumanWare and one to AI Squared, and I can't fix it. Here's the environment: Windows 10/64, Window-Eyes 9.3, HumanWare Brailliant BI32 connected via USB. I can't get Window-Eyes to communicate with the display unless I invoke the

RE: Can't Read Information in Outlook Fields

Well, Steve, once again you've come to my rescue. I wish I hadn't been so impulsive in flinging reason and common sense to oblivion and doing a re-install of 9.3x then upgrading to 9.4. Ah, well, that just means I get to go on an app scavenger hunt--not as fun perhaps as an Easter egg hunt, but

Can't Read Information in Outlook Fields

Office 2010, WE 9.4, Windows 10/64: If I attempt to write in the subject line of an outgoing email, I can't hear any of that information when I try to look at it with the arrow keys or to read the entire line with Control+Numberpad 5. In a moment of mindless rage last night, I uninstalled we

RE: Can't Read Information in Outlook Fields

You asked whether the 2010 set files are loading; it appears so. The other thing that happens is my mouse keys just ding when I tap them no matter what's open. I can do Control+Shift+B to rotor among the movement possibilities, but those keys make no difference; the mouse keys just ding no

RE: Can't Read Information in Outlook Fields

Hi, Thanks for your reply. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with sleep mode or screen saver. I've turned all of that off in my power plan, so I don't ever have to come out of sleep mode. Screen redraws don't seem to help either. I just don't get it; it works perfectly in JAWS 17 and the

Re: Sound Forge Pro 11 ap released.

This is hugely impressive. I’ve owned 11 for a long time, and I never quite got motivated to upgrade from 10. I think you’ve given me reasons to do that. Congratulations on the work done on this; it can’t have been easy, and it wasn’t trivial I’m sure. Regards, Nolan

Re: OT: opticbook 3600 scanner

Almost hesitant to ask the question, since you doubtless already have this in hand, but you do remember that you must connect the scanner prior to installing the drivers, right? That’s counterintuitive to how things generally work. I installed a 3600 last night, and it works perfectly in Win 10

Fatal Initialization Error

Greetings, I was forced to strip my PC back to the molecular level this week, which meant that I needed to re-install Window-Eyes 9.4. Tech support was extra-mile fantastic in providing me with a downloadable link today. In my attempt to install the program, however, I encountered almost

Fatal Initialization Error Problem Solved

A moment or two ago, I wrote to express concerns about a fatal initialization error I had experience. I wondered at the end of that message whether my extracted file had been corrupted. Indeed that was the problem. I re-extracted the file, and all is well. With much relief, Nolan Sent from

A Little Morality tale: It's Not Always Microsoft's Fault!

So last night, I did my little Internet radio thing on the Legend, and I noticed that the Station Playlist app for Window-eyes was running but not working. I blamed the failure on a recent Windows 10 update, presuming that the update had erased all my key bindings or had taken over keystrokes
