Re: Espeak in a sapi5 guise?
David Mellor
I'm still using it as a SAPI5 voice. I don't know if this gets updated with
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
each NVDA update so it might be quite an old one. It's not completely stable. It sometimes breaks and Windows 7 automatically changes the default SAPI voice to Microsoft Mary which is pretty aweful. It takes just a few seconds to set it back to the desired eSpeak voice once you've got the technique sorted. David

Glad you were able to get on board. I admit I mostly became a member because of the movie vault, but they do seem to sell a good amount of useful stuff.

Hi, everyone,
Just want to admit that I was wrong about the blind mice megamall site not being accessible. I just became a member. To the person who said that the site is not accessible, you have to look at the form in browse mode. Then you can fill it out. I looked at the site in both firefox and internet explorer. This is a great lesson to learn for all of us--not to jump to conclusions.

https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html says: "If you wish to copy NVDA onto read-only media such as a CD, you should just copy the download package. Running the portable version directly from read- only media is not supported at this time." So, you need to use a USB stick instead. Regards, Antony.

Re: Question about Dictation Bridge
Terrie Terlau <terrieter@...>
Hi Pranav,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Thank you for this information. I am working with someone who is blind and can't use a keyboard, and I have a few more questions. Do you know if there is documentation showing how much control of the PC you get with TextBridge and Dragon 15? Can Dragon open applications such as email and Word? Can you move through a list of emails or files in a folder with Dragon commands? If this info is in a document, where might I find it? Thanks for any help you can give. Warm regards, Terrie Terlau terrieter@...

It works well with that version of Dragon which is Dragon 15. You can try a lower version such as Dragon 14. You could also give windows speech-recognition a try but I do not know how well it works on Windows 7. Note: I am not sure about Dragon 15 either. If however you can get either WSR or Dragon to work then dictationBridge will work. It does not have operating system limitations. Pranav
