Re: Quick help with outlook?

erik burggraaf <erik@...>
 

I am gonna have to bite the bullet and give this guy an hour of free tech support so it seams.  I saw this rich text format business last week but I need to get on the phone with him to check it.  If there was a simple solution like pressing alt T for to, and alt U for subject I was hoping it would leap out and save me a chunk of time.

Outlook isn't preferred, but thunderbird isn't better.  This user wants email to be exactly the same as the experience he had with outlook express.  With OE classic as hokie as it is, the closest any one has been able to come is outlook.  Outlook isn't terrible as long as it works, but it doesn't.  So it's terrible.  I'll put the work in and make it not terrible for him over the weekend.

Thanks,

Erik

Even so, it strains credulity that the problem is a general one to that version of Outlook.  Since we haven't seen any such questions or complaints before, it is far more likely that the problem is some sort of corruption of something on that machine.

 

I would have a sighted person look at the screen when a message is replied to and see if the sighted person can get to those fields.  It cannot be assumed that this is a screen-reader problem.

 

Is there a reason this person has to use Outlook?  Of course, the person may have to use Word and other office programs for doing things in an institutional or business environment but if the person can use any e-mail program, why use Outlook?

Hi all, I need to help some one using outlook and I don't have access to it.
When he does a reply, it puts him into brows mode.  So, he can type a reply,
but he can't reach the to and subject lines.  I had him do insert space to
turn browse mode off, but he was still unable to reach other fields using
shift tab.

Does any one know if those fields have  alt key nemonics, or some other nvda

Re: OE classic help

Ervin, Glenn
 

Are you telling me that MS removes OE in Windows 10?
I had a friend on the phone, he mailed his laptop to me, and I installed OE on it for him, and he was using it for maybe five months, when OE disappeared.
I worked with him on the phone and I thought that he had renamed the icon on the desktop, or accidentally deleted it, but I could not find it anywhere with him, I thought it was very strange.
But if MS is automatically removing it, that makes sense.

Subject: Re: [nvda] OT. Transcription jobs?

No mailing lists that I know of but there are several fields that use Transcriptionists as in medical, legal, etc. There are some requirements to be met before one can call oneself a transcriptionist though. I went to a trade school to learn how to do medical transcription. If you ask me nowadays if it was worth it my answer would have to be no. I came into transcription after most of the available work began to be outsourced to India hence there was very little opportunity available. the school finally placed me with a transcription company in California I live in Florida, and I made less than $3000 in the five years I spen working as a medical transcriptionist. Yes, it was that bad. From my experience I would recommend if that's what you want to do, to seek your own clients locally and realize that they most likely already have a transcriptionist or a service and that you may have to underbid to get any work plus prove yourself better and faster than the competition.
The training is a must as you won't be able to compete without it. One more thing I need to let you know about. Most big transcription companies use specific programs for you to pick up your work and return it and most of these programs are less than accessible from what I've heard. This is another reason to seek your own clients locally. The most successful medical transcriptionist I know either built up their own local clients over a period of time or they were in the business before the outsourcing of work to India began.

Good luck,

Re: accessibility training is important too.

My cable company & ISP has problems with using captchas that don't work as far as the audio part. I have suggested using a simple math problem in words, like
What is three plus one?
But they haven't changed. One of their pages don't even offer an audio challenge, and like I mentioned, the ones it does offer, don't work, that is, no audio comes, and the download file is a recording of a long phrase, and they said that is from someone attacking the page or something like that.
The workers seem to understand a person using a screenreader, in fact, one told me that they had an employee who uses a screenreader, and they did not realize that captchas would be a problem for her.
All that, and yet they still have not fixed the captcha problem.

Re: NVDA and SecureCRT or other ssh clients for Windows

Sorry, but you are not understanding...

1 - To read that type of window, NVDA uses the review cursor;
2 - You can use the review commands in both keyboard layouts. Please, read the manual since I don't use the laptop layout;
3 - If you use a recent version of NVDA, when you use a review command, Braille is automatically thetered wit review cursor , in order to the Braille display can follow the cursor and give you the information;
4 - Voice is also automatically thetered to the review cursor to allow hearing the information.

Any other question, please write to the list, but please, refere the versions of Windows and NVDA...

Hello,

I am deaf-blind, so i use Braille exclusively. As I understand it, all of these ssh programs display a command window.
This requires tethering Braille to the review cursor. The keys on the numeric keypad can then be used to read the

of the window. I am using a notebook with no numeric keypad. Is there a ssh program that displays a GUI that NVDA knows
how to navigate? I do not want to install Cygwin, because it would take up too much disk space.

Thanks,

In that when it feels like doing so, any update of a version of nvda will just stop on reboot.

as above

It has no bearing on what might be running at the time. indeed the desktop does it too, and its on both master and next. The failure mode is that when the new version tries to reboot it cannot write to the log file due to it not being let go of by the old version and no old log has been created. a small log of this is recorded in the running location of the nvda which was being updated. the updat itself works perfectly, as cancelling the error about the log file, which nvda cannot read as its not running the version can be manually rebooted.
I know i've mentioned this many times before, but I find it very annoying and simply cannot see why its happening to just me and nobody else as there is nothing strange about my windows 7 computers at all.

Well what I do not understand is that there are other ways to handle capchas.

The logical fill in the blank or the math question capcha, true a bot could do this to but its a random question so hmmm we can read it.

Re: calendar control on this form

Brian's Mail list account
 

Other things are that one has missed filling in a mandatory field and it simply won't let you change the field till its fixed. To be honest that is one heck of a form. I would think you might need a long lie down after completing all the parts of it. I did not find any dates to change anywhere but assumed that the dates might well reflect things you had said elsewhere.

I haven't looked at the form yet but whenever I see such a structure, a read only edit field with no apparent way to change information when moving in the form with the keyboard, there is some sort of inaccessible means of changing the information and the read only edit field is what it says it is. It shows the results of the change you make and that's all it does. Someone may figure out a way to work with the inaccessible control or no one may. But that is very likely to be why you are seeing what you are seeing.

Hello listers:

I have been meaning to see if it is just me, concerning the calendar
entry on this form. NVDA tells me that this is a read only edit field.


It seems there isn't much I can do to get the date to properly change.
Is it just me? If so, what do I need to do to make the control work as
needed? Here's the link:

Everything else on the form is easy to work with. Thanks for any help in
advance on this issue.

Thanks, but of course that is part of the problem. this particular system was only upgraded as far as Windows 7, despite my recommendation of upgrading to Windows 10.

I didn't install the office suite, so can't say what version of Outlook it even is.

Thanks, Eric

I am using Outlook 365, NVDA latest version and no add on. Here Outlook
does not come up in browse mode so I am able to use the shift tab right
away. Sometime when I do the shift tab NVDA first speaks the message
position, but at the same time it does move to the Subject line and read the
contents. Guessing this is of no help what so ever, but wanted to let you
know with this configuration, by the way latest version of Windows 10, that
what you are expecting to happen for your client is working here.

Hi all, I need to help some one using outlook and I don't have access to it.
When he does a reply, it puts him into brows mode. So, he can type a reply,
but he can't reach the to and subject lines. I had him do insert space to
turn browse mode off, but he was still unable to reach other fields using
shift tab.

Does any one know if those fields have alt key nemonics, or some other nvda
accessible way to reach them?

Thanks,

As with the thread on lack of accessibility. Yes there is always a work around, but as an advocate of justice for all, I still feel that if nobody takes a stand, nothing will change.

Actually, just had an idea for those of us with iPhones. We could always use Be My Eyes, and have someone read the captia. Just a thought.

Its not since obviously the spammers solve them already.
My other work around is to keep a special old browser that the software will run on to use oven such sites then blitz them with moans if you can get in.
