Hi Steve,
I believe that one by one callsigns are for special events and thus
you don't see them often.
I can't think of an example right now, but I think some of the light
house on the air callsigns may have been one by one such as W1B or
W4C.

Just so happens I'm NCS for tomorrow's BHDN, so you can ride
along and watch once I get the net log opened, which I'll do at
about 9:45 Eastern Time. I use NVDA with Net Logger because it's
the only thing that works correctly with it. It doesn't matter
whether you type the callsign in upper- or lower-case. It can
definitely be done one-handed.
In your message (see below) you said you've encountered a
one-by-one call. Wow, that must've been a very special vanity
call. I have never heard of a one by one ham call in over fifty
years of hamming, but there's always something new goin' on
somewhere. LOL.

Many of us are not having the problems you describe with
Netlogger. and using Notepad is about as simple as it gets.
If the computer is problematic, are you a competant Braille

Like I said, this program does not have edit
fields per-say. Even in notepad I can't read the calls
correctly, and remember I'm using 1 hand. I even tried
all caps and that idea failed last Tuesday when I was
logging for someone. Again, if you want more info go to
their
website.
I can try this Saturday when I practice
logging for the Saturday morning digital net, that is,
if I'm alert enough to practice. By the way you do have
to be a ham to dl the software, so can the hams please
help? I really don't want to find another piece of
software as let's say my computer reboots, I can have
someone take over while I get up and running, so long as
they have the pw to log.
Blessings all, I'm off to bed. I have a 3
hour training to do tomorrow.

Hi Sara,
Try one more thing and if it doesn't work, then find
another program. Once in a while, when all else fails,
highlight the whole edit field and then (laptop
equivalent) press the read line keystroke twice quickly.
With desktop, that is insert + up arrow.

It does not. You type in the sign
and hit enter. If I need to edit a call, good
luck, as that part is hard to do so I'd better
get it right.
To read the calls, I up and down
arrow but I cannot move left and right to read
the characters and hitting nvda left and right
yields blank blank blank. In fact object mode
yields nothing at least in the net logger
window.

Hi
Sara,
Does this net logger have an edit field for each
item? If so, then either try using screen
review or object navigation. I used to use an
old ham database program years ago and using
NVDA, if you moved to the edit field and then
switched to object navigation, highlighted the
callsign and then used the 5 key you could
usually get it to work. If not try using screen
review--a bit clumsy, but it may also work.

I can't do that. I use an
app called "netlogger." and using what
ever that would be in laptop keys yields
"blank blank blank" even though I typed
in the stuff. So that won't work. You
can find out more about netlogger here. and
it's free so feel free to download and
see what I mean.

Hi Sara,
Using JAWS, there was a setting to
'spell alpha numeric expressions.' NVDA
does not have this option. What I do
when running nets is to highlight the
callsign and then use the keypad 5 key
to read the callsign and if I can't tell
what the call is initially, I double
punch the 5 key to have the expression
spelled alpha numerically as in alpha
alpha 2 victor Mike.

Hello to all. For
those that don't know, I'm an
amateur radio operator, and in a
week I'm due to run a net. Fine,
except I struggle with reading
ham calls. I know on the BNS
there was a ham calls option
where it would read those such
as ke7zum. Is there such a thing
for nvda? Or can an option be
thought of, an add on that could
be turned on and off at will to
allow for such? I know this
won't happen by the 27th when
I'm due to control, but I'm sure
I'm not the only one who would
like this.
I'm using the ibm
tts voices but espeak and david
does this as well. I can't code
or I would find a way to do this
myself.
The thing that makes
this harder is not all call
signs are 2 by 3 like mine. Some
are a 1 by 1, or a 1 by 2. I've
even seen some 2 by 2 calls.
Thanks all.
