Re: accessible money
Ron Canazzi
Hi Kerryn,
If you can convince the powers that be in Trinidad to switch to all coinage rather than paper money, that would be the ideal thing to do. Most blind people here in the United States have no difficulty with coinage. The pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters are all differently rimmed and of different sizes and weights. In the United States, we like our paper money. There was great resistance to any change for large denominations than quarters. However in a smaller country like Trinidad, you might have less resistance. Good luck.

I have used electron apps with speech and unless you handle one key press at a time they can be slow, you can't type quickly at all.

Thanks very much, Joseph. I absolutely depend on this add-on to do my job, and without it, I would really be in an impossible jam. Thanks again for helping keep this add-on up-to-date.

What I do if I want a program on my desk top is press windows
key r then shell:appsfolder then enter. After I have the program
on my desk top I use f 2 to change the icon from short cut to the

If you're asking about a utility that you can hand a URL and have it generate HTML for embedding, for instance, they definitely exist.

Re: Sound Forge 12.5

Hi. It depends upon which version of the QT framework is being used. As far as I know, The earlier versions, up to version 4 of the framework in question is sketchy at best, when it comes to accessibility. QT5, the latest and most up-to-date version is now much more accessible out of the box. Cheers!

I misinterpreted your original question entirely. I thought you were somehow trying to take a file of text and run some sort of converter on it to make an image, which you can't really do. You used one of the easiest ways to take text and insert it into an image file, even if that image is strictly of the text. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Using Braille tethered to Review on a notebook

The machine has no setting that simulates a numpad with numeric lock off. I use a Braille display. I would like to work
with cmd and with ssh on my Linux machines. Is there a solution? Why does Braille have to be tethered to the review cursor anyway? Thanks, John -- John J.

Re: conversion info
JM Casey <crystallogic@...>
Sure, you can.
You could do this locally with an oCR package, probably, even if you have to take an extra conversion step from the .tif image file or whatever.
This online tool has good reviews, so it’s probably decent. Haven’t tried it, but maybe it’ll get you started. https://convertio.co/txt-jpg/
