Re: Problem with Skype
OK, maybe You didn't understand My pleasure. I would like to use accessible version of Skype, but I can't log in to previous version, which seens to be accessible.
Note: Skype 8 isn't very well accessible. |

Subject: [nvda] chrome not that accessible in
m.facebook.com Hi folks
I am making my first steps with chrome.
I find that sometimes buttons and elements are not clickable in
m.facebook.com and that the tab key is not always responding normally.
F.e. if you click on a friend and wants him or her to be defriended, you
can’t find that item or click the friend or follow button. I have already
changed some settings like adding some accessibility tools to read webpages with
the arrow keys and disabled the hardware accelerators which often is advised
when working with screenreaders.

Re: NVDA and Edge browser
Hi, If it is strictly NVDA side, I hope it can be addressed soon. As it might be UIA, I don’t know when it’ll get addressed. This problem with one character per line is the reason for not using social networking sites with Edge at the moment. Cheers, Joseph

Re: PDF t9 Word keeping footnotes
Jonathan COHN
Hello,
Yes either Daisy, NIMAS or ePub is more likely to have appropriate markup for footnotes. I believe most textbooks in the US are supposed to be available in the NIMAS accessible format. The Braille Blaster program can convert NIMAS files directly into Braille documents. You can read a bit more about NIMAS at: http://aem.cast.org/creating/national-instructional-materials-accessibility-standard-nimas.html The Daisy and ePub standards are now pretty much merged, and since the Edge browser will act as a ePub reader, that might work for reviewing your documents if you can get them in that format. I believe that PDF documents that conform to PDF-UA should also have navigable footnotes. The problem with pdf is that it was initially designed to provide different printers with the ability to produce the same page output no matter the printer and accessibility needs were only added later when the US Government started supplying documents and forms in PDF. Best Wishes, Jonathan Cohn |

Thunderbird is my exclusive email client...and has been for years now. If you go to menu item Tools --> Options --> in the list view, select display, tab once, arrow to the right to advanced on the tabs and tab once, the option should be there which says 'Mark Message As Read'...the default is Immediately which is changed on the next press of the tab key to take you to the options where you up and down arrow...you can adjust this behavior.

I used to find it annoying that Skype took control of inputs and outputs every time I ran it and then forgot to put stuff back when you had finished. As I mostly use line level this was really annoying. I seldom use Skype these days. many people I know tend to use their mobile for Skype now to leave their desktop unpoluted, so to speak!

Re: PDF t9 Word keeping footnotes
Brian's Mail list account
See my reply. Scanned are generally just pictures, so obviously an ocr is the only way to go. However if you have contact with the document supplier and they do not understand how to make pdfs accessible and how to make comments editable etc, it might be easier for them to simply send you the original docx files that they made them with instead, or they will need to be using the paid for pdf Adobe suite of software to make them accessible. They could be using any old third party tool or word itself to make them and hence it would be fare easier to send them as word in the first place. From experience the only reason they site for using pdf is that they do not want people changing content, but in the case of a blind user, if they cannot create an accessible pdf, the use of word would seem to be a logical adjustment to make.

Add, read and edit comments. 2. Highlight text and navigate highlighted text as you suggested for word in my previous question. 3. Navigating footnotes by jumping to the footnotes from the respective reference number. 4. Other basic commands like - reading para by para and skim read feature Basicàly, I need an efficient way of reading footnotes, as you can do in word. But, I only receive PDFs and as you said converting them to word won't help. Sometimes I also receive scanned books in PDF. Can footnotes in them would be read as well? Could daisy be a solution?

Re: PDF t9 Word keeping footnotes

Yes there are a considerable number of clueless people in education industry and in fact many walks of life who feel that just creating a picture off text is OK as they can see the letters. You also get files formatted as if it were in a newspaper but where they have not tagged the changes in reading order as the columns etc change in the file. if I had a ten pound not for every pdf I've had where page one is perfect but the rest is gibberish I would be a rich man!
