Re: Cannot open excel file from file folder on desktop Cearbhall O'Meadhra #7338 Hi, Chris, The Excel program opens with a blank screen and will go no further.

When I right click on the Excel file name (file with a .xlsx extension), and use “open with Microsoft excel”, Excel opens but with a blank screen and no sign of the file contents.

Re: Speech recognition and deaf-blind Brian Vogel #7326 Just a general note: speech recognition technology has vastly improved over just the last several years and continues to do so. I dabbled in speech recognition when it was a new thing and found it almost useless. Now Google Voice automatically creates a transcript of my incoming voicemail messages and, particularly for the sound quality involved via phone, does a very decent job. I haven't tried the Windows 10 built-in speech recognition, but would certainly recommend playing with that. Dragon Naturally Speaking is a great product but certainly not alone out there in its basic speech recognition/speech-to-text arena anymore. Speech recognition requires some getting used to no matter how good it may be, particularly making sure you mute your microphone when something else interferes with the work you're doing. That, or turning off the function entirely. When you're dictating a document it can be rather amusing to see what gets in there when the spouse, kids, or coworkers give you a holler for whatever and you respond, having forgotten to turn speech recognition off. One could change amusing to frustrating and the same applies. -- *Brian* I worry a lot. . . I worry that no matter how cynical you become it's never enough to keep up. ~ Trudy, in Jane Wagner's "Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe"

Re: Speech recognition and deaf-blind Babcock LDPVI #7324 Hello: I am trialling the accessibility and "voice typing" functions available in Google Docs at the moment. Google Docs is the free online office provided by Google to anyone with a Google Account. Their voice typing function is only available if you use the Chrome browser. I have never had to train the voice typing function but I have in the past few months used it extensively and it is about 90% accuracy. Google Docs is very accessible with NVDA which is a great help. I am not deaf or blind myself but I work as part of a team of advisory teachers who support young people with visual impairments in schools. Thanks,

Re: Windows 10 infoormation Brian's Mail list account #7322 Yes laptop with a keypad is a must, though the removal of the context application key can be a real pain on dell machines. you have to use an enlarged shift key and a function key to create this, surely a normal sized caps and a context key might have been wiser.

Re: windows 10 question Brian's Mail list account #7321 If no screenreader works then there is something very wrong with your windows 7, as I am using xp throughtto 10 with the latest version of nvda. Might be a good idea to start from scratch if something has farted over the operating systm. It also might point to a hardware issue in the making or some malware. Don't attempt to update a system with serious issues it will and I've done it far too often end in tears. This is why in all previous windows I've use a piece of softwar called Errunt which backs up registry every day. Unfortunately its not running properly in windows 10, so if anyone knows how to make it able to save and restore as it does in xp and 7, do let me know its like performing without a net.

Is windows 10 still free for the disabled? I have been real sick the last few weeks, tried to get a book and did something in control panel and lost windows ten. I am supposedly now using windows seven; screen readers like jaws or nvda do not work anymore. Can I get windows ten back? Any help would be appreciated. Marv

Re: Windows 10 infoormation Brian's Mail list account #7320 Not sure is you read that right. I certainly find that if you look at your needs and try to get a machine that can do those things then that is good idvice. I seldom use laptops but find them quite a lot slower as they tend to use a lot of power saving things that can result in operations being slower. So in this instance, something which is the best depends on what you want, battery life, graphis, speed... Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Would you tell someone to get the most expensive car or stereo or television they can afford? A lot of people don't need anything more than a computer in the moderate price range. They don't need machines designed for power users or gamers. In addition, some people may not care if they have an SSD or not. I don't. My computer is plenty fast for my needs and desires. Get the best you can afford is as bad general advice for computers as for anything else you are contemplating purchasing.

Re: Speech recognition and deaf-blind Brian's Mail list account #7319 I saw a note on here that a development of nvda with ability to use that software might be being considered. I was quite impressed by the way 10 seems to, out of the box understand speech, but whether its good enough to use to type stuff i Have not tried. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
