I saw the check box but it is disabled, below it there's a message saying that it isn't available for Outlook.com, which is strange because the lite version was able to be used when I used IE8 on my XP virtual machine.

This leaves me with 2 options. Either switch to Thunderbird, or try in any way I could to trick Outlook.com into thinking that I'm using IE8, I.E user agent spoofing in Firefox which worked as there's an add on for that, but it's global, which is not what I want as I want the spoofing to occur on Outlook.com only and not everywhere.

I did sent Microsoft a feedback regarding this, but so far they didn't seem to be doing anything about the accessibility issues with the new Outlook.com.

i prefer tappin radio, plus there is an NVDA add on for it.

Hi group!

I've just tried the new version of screamer radio, which is: 0.9. I've
downloaded the portable one. My impression is, it's isn't quite
accessible with screen readers. I tried it with NvdA. Has anyone worked
with this program and can anyone says somethings more about the program
when possible step by step? On the instruction I've read that hotKeys
also are supporrted but probbably the screen readers don't read all from
the menus, so I couldn't find hotKeys. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

A PDF reader which allows you to save a PDF file as a text file, is
contained in the Webbie suite of programs, and is very simple to use!


www.webbie.org.uk

Regards,

John.

In some cases, you can just select all from the document, then paste it
into word or something similar. If the pdf is protected in any way,
this won't work, but then, generally, it won't convert to any other
format either if it's protected. There are programs to remove the
protection from pdf files, but they generally aren't free. If you look
for pdftotxt, you can find a wide range of choices for converting pdf to
other formats. If you want to edit the pdf files directly, look for
pdfpen pro, it handles form fields in pdf, and loads of other things.

Hi Group

Does anyone know of free software which can convert PDF to .doc/.docx
or any other editable format and OCR the document as well. It does
not have to be blind accessible, since my sighted colleagues usually
work with scanning files.

Any open source programme will be appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.


Kind regards

Hi.
I'm using firefox 49.0.2 and I've installed the latest greasemonkey, but the kill windowless flash script no longer works. Can anyone help me to fix this? is there a new script I can download? I've been trying to google kill windowless flash but I'm just not getting anywhere and it's extremely frustrating.
Thanks.

Hi,

Go to addons.nvda-project.org, then select Windows 10 App Essentials.

Cheers,

A note: when I installed this, NVDA and Firefox stopped working together.  I had to close and reopen Firefox.  All is now well.

Where can I get info about what this addon does?

    Thanks to evefryone.  I know these are novice questions, but I'm sometimes slow to earn things.  Once I get it, I'll be fine.

I don't use Thunderbird but if you used f7 in the past, that command should run the spell checker now.  Running the spell checker isn't a screen-reader command.  It is a command of the e-mail program and it should not change and should work regardless of screen-reader being used.  It should work even if no screen-reader is being used. 

 

The time command is the same as that in JAWS, insert, if that is what you are using as the modifier and f12.  If you are using a different command, perhaps you used the laptop layout in JAWS.  I don't know if the command is different in that layout.

I'm using thunderbird and have spelling errors.  This gets pointed out
to my by buzzes, but how in the world to I spellcheck.  I used to just
use the F7 comand.


Also, I've tried to check the time, but the command I try doesn't work. 
I tried to follow the command list, but something isn't clicking.  I
guess I just get fed up because I'm so used to using jaws.  It spoined me.

I have just installed the 7 day demo of Eloquence and Vocalizer Expressive
Add-on for NVDA from Code Factory. However, the sound quality when using
Eloquence is poor to say the least. Vocalizer Expressive voices, on the
other hand, are very good. I do like Eloquence as my screen reader, so this
would be a show stopper for me. Is there a work around for this rather
irritating problem.
Kind Regards:
Martin
