The pi is a computer which is basically a circket board with a ram and
processor about the size of a credit card. They're very cheep, and let you
do some very specific things. You know, you can make a cloud server or a
home automation server, or build your own electronic device with a custom
chassey like an mp3 player or a telephone or something.

They are pretty neet, and the hardware is getting serious.

Best,

Erik

Hi!
I use Emsisoft Antimalware. It's fast, scans for potentially unwanted
programs (such as adware) in addition to general malware like trojans
and worms, and has, to my mind, the best behavior analysis around,
spotting backdoors from how they behave even if the file itself is
unknown, to provide just one example. This goes far beyond what is
usually referred to as detection by heuristics. Accessibility-wise
most things I need are in the tab order but I find myself resorting to
flat review sometimes.
Greetings,
Felix

I would think that a feature of this importance should be incorporated into the screen-reader itself and not require an add on.  Also, I don't think that any mention of the add on is made in the documentation. 

 

Or, if preferable, and perhaps just as good an option would be to incorporate certain add ons so that they are installed and running when the program is installed.

Why can't certain add ons simply be installed and run when the program is installed as a matter of course or be incorporated into the program when they are this central to the program?

Is there an option in NVDA that makes the NVDA key a "sticky" key. This

There are so many materials free and paid that you can use to learn to

And believe me I know.  I learned to program basic in the 80s, and that was
hard there was no real internet or anything like it.  I had to have my
little brother read to me books, and I learned from that.

Yes, it does seem that learning to program from scratch, at least for the
blind want to be programmer, is difficult to do.  I've even started to look
at older books, written before the use of Tools became so wide
spread.    But here I run into slight compatibility issues.    The New
Code today is slightly different from the code used even 5 years ago.  

I'll keep looking.

Yes, I agree with you.  Thank you everyone in this group for all your kind advice, it has helped me a lot.

I will definitely look into these other options before coming back to screen readers as an option.

I should probably unsubscribe to this group until that time, my mailbox can't handle too many messages...

 

Do you know how I would unsubscribe?

Window-eyes isn't simpler than NVDA.  I don't know just what Narrator can do.  for your purposes, I don't know if it's any better or not.  Narrator may be simpler but that doesn't mean it will meet your needs.  I'm not saying that NVDA or Narrator will meet your needs or not.  I'm saying that I don't think you are looking at options in the right order.  I would think that there are e-mail lists and/or Internet forums where people who have dyslexia and other print disabilities can discuss programs they use to read print and they may be able to discuss how best to read whatever you want to read.

Hello,

the program is subscription-based, and there is a free 30 day test period.

It scans for viruses, worms and the like in addition to the wider definition of malware including adware and spyware.
Here is the link: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/?id=14510978

So much in the interest of sharing. I think any follow-ups should be discussed off-list since this is going way off topic and may easily be construed as me running an ad campaign, which I am not. ;)

Kind regards,

Felix
