When I find an item I want, I tab until I land on the first time that the item is mentioned on the search page, hit the context key, open in a separate tab which gives me a web page dedicated to that item, hit b until I land on the buy button and hit enter. I am using Firefox, JAWS and/or NVDA.

Hi,
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I am using Windows 10, Excel 2016 with NVDA 2016.2.1
I cannot open my excel spread sheets from a folder in “my Documents”. 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. Likewise, when I try to open the file from within Excel, I get a list of recent files but I cannot search for an existing file.
Any solutions?

Re: Speech recognition and deaf-blind
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. 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"

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,
