You know… Someone was able to crack this nut once and while it’s a bummer that Webvisum was dumped, it apparently wasn’t impossible to put together the necessary tools to develop it. Other then the Accessible Apps guy who was charging something like $3 a month for a CAPCHA solution, no one else has really given a shot to recreate a similar one. Sure it sucks that you have to maybe pay for something that can be argued should be free, but those are the breaks. That or another intrepid developer can invest their time and money and skill into an accessible CAPTCHA solver out of the kindness of their heart until something’s actually done about the inaccessibility. Even if you pay, just deduct it from your taxes. That said though, I can’t recall the last time I really had an issue with a CAPTCHA. Everything’s the I’m not a robot or audio option for the most part now.

Returns at Amazon.com don't work with screenreaders
Ervin, Glenn
Hi, I’m on a Jaws list at home, and I sent this issue to this list, because I could not check an item for returns to Amazon.com, and no matter what I did, it would not work, and that is twice I have had to call their customer service about this to return an item, and they told me that the disability department will be notified, but nothing ever happens. I tried it with both Jaws and NVDA and three different browsers. I am more proficient with Jaws, so I’d like to know if maybe there is something I don’t know about NVDA that could have done this for me. Here’s part of the thread explaining the problem, there is my message and one or two replies of Jaws users that could not do the same thing…
Hi, Jaws 2018, Windows 7 & IE. I need to return an item, but I cannot because I cannot check the item. I have moved to it with the X key and enter and space bar don't check it. I tried insert + F5 and moved to it, and entering does not check it. I try the continue button every time, in case it is checking it but not saying checked. I have tried the number pad mouse click and that does not work. Any other ideas?
have you tried tabbing away and back to the checkbox. sometimes the status of the box will be spoken if you do this after you press enter or space bar on it. have you tried tabbing around on the page after the virtual cursor is turned off. sometimes if you start at the top of the screen and keep tabbing you will land on the check box, edit box, combo box etc.

What do you mean when you say iTunes is the only way to update things? I never use iTunes to update anything. I just do it over the air. It is the only way to make a fully encrypted backup however. At least as far as I am aware.

You have to get used to the ribbon thing, but it is not an accessibility issue per se. It’s not like not being able to see the main window of a program. That’s a showstopper. The ribbon thing is just re-learning. Not fun. But it’s not in accessible.

The trouble with using their access page is that you will get a cookie that is a pain to remove.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
If you are happy with the access pages for your only Amazon page option, then going to the access page is okay, but I dislike the lack of detail on the access pages, and once you go there, you will never get back to a regular amazon page again, no matter how hard you try. You will have to use a different browser or remove the access page cookie they put into your browser. I wasted many hours figuring this out because no matter what I did, I could not ever get a normal Amazon page after going to the access site. Glenn

Hi Mary
Partially you are right but being honest: are you a fan of the office ribbon menu system. I know almost no blinds are not. Regards Davy -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- From: Mary Otten Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2018 4:50 AM To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: Re: [nvda] itunes latest issue I’m not so interested in being fair to Apple in this instance. Microsoft has made the office suite reasonably accessible on the Mac and even on I devices. Apple hasn’t done that well with iTunes or iCloud for that matter. As somebody who owned a Mac for years, hoping that Apple would catch up with Accessibility there and eventually I went back to windows, I’m disgusted. Far more people in this world use windows then use a Mac. I love the eye devices. Apple needs to step up his game on windows. It’s that simple.

No, it's not addware. There is a setting in chrome that allows those popups about tech news, and my son knows which one it is, but I personally haven't been able to find it in my copy of chrome, so I need to ask him again which setting it is to turn it off. The news titles pop up in the system notifications area on the pc. The setting in chrome turns those pop ups off, so they won't do that anymore. I've looked through my settings, and couldn't find which setting was causing it, but I'll ask him again and repost here after I get it turned off. Those don't bother me as much as the flippin' login to my apple drive that keeps popping up every half hour or so, which seems also to be triggered by my first opening of chrome after a reboot. I'd really like to turn those off. I'll log in to the silly thing when I want to use it, not until then, so stop asking me already.

While it is abandoned ware, it will still work on the Firefox 52
series ESR and earlier. There was a hack by James Scoles that
revived it, but when this newer quantum Firefox came around, the
hack wouldn't work.
I forget the direct link to where I got it, so instead I uploaded it to Send Space for anyone who wants it. The size is only 233 KB. https://www.sendspace.com/file/lwddwk

problem with itunes 12.9
Josh Kennedy
Hi I fixed iTunes. I uninstalled iTunes 12.9 uninstalled all the apple stuff, deleted all folders inside of the appdata folder and program data folder in windows10. Then I went to the fileHippo website and got iTunes 12.8, the older july 2018 version installed it. I told it to never check for updates. Now iTunes works again. I’ll stay on 12.8 until they fix 12.9 and above.

Good morning. I can offer you various pieces in braille format that are ready to be embossed, but that's the problem, because you prefer those midi files, right? There is a software called Braille music editor which might help you with what you're needing. Cheers.

As far as I know, the only way to increase the number of keystrokes available from Brailliant devices are:

1 - Manually add those keystrokes using the Input gestures dialog, found through NVDA, Preferences menu; 2 - Someone make an addon to increase the number of keystrokes available; 3 - Humanware or NVDA team, if they can have a Brailliant to use, increase the number of keystrokes available...

Adobe Acrobat vs. QRead

Re: Softwares to compose music for the blind
I have a sort-of similar question. I used to play piano in my sighted days but mever memorised any of the music, prefering to read the score as I played. Now I can't read a score I can't remember much of those pieces.
I have PDF scores of a lot of piano music and wonder if there is any way that something like Muse Score could open a PDF and I could somehow figure out what notes are where? I'm thinking of chords with three or more notes across both hands, my ear being unable to figure them out by listening to a recording. I'd love a means of converting a PDF or a midi file into a text from which I can determine the notes ... the durations are less important for me since I can remember how the pieces sound. It's funny, I just asked a sighted friend for help with three notes in Chopin's first ballade which I was struggling to remember just this morning! Thanks for any ideas (and no, I never learned to read Braille music) Giles

thanks, Sociohack, that has helped me a lot ... I've been trying to figure out how to get any comments to be displayed in line with the original text and by saving the document as a PDF and then opening that PDF in QRead it does the trick perfectly!

Hi there,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It depends what you want to do. If you want to work with MIDI to compose and produce music, then I can recommend QWS for basic work, or Reaper if you need a more advanced DAW. On the other hand, if you want to work with printing scores and so on, then I'm afraid I'll have to let somebody else answer that. Hope that helps. Cheers, Damien.
