two pluses are react o s can run from live cd or can be installed to hard drive.
It is open source so free to use like nvda.
The nvda screen reader paired up with a bootable windows like os on a disk or u s b would come in handy.
Then again react o s would have to be able to run windows setup.
A bootable windows system on a flash or cd rom with speech is available from the enterprise edition of windows 8.1 and up I think.
It is called windows to go and installs to a u s b drive.
It's really nice of m s to only provide it to businesses and not end users.

Well it would be good if react os would become accessible.
One thing that is a driving force for me is it will run windows programs and therefore games and screen readers probably though thats not the only thing.
With the rise of ms own account system, and later oses such as windows 8x and 10 a lot of things we have taken for granted are on the move or going out.
The desktop app is on the way out, and while I know those of us that have embraced cross platform and touch tablets are round and getting more commenplace there are still those I'd imagine like me that have never changed.
I for example would still be quite happy with an xp like interface, or a win7 like interface for windows and office and everything else without the crazy ribbon system wishfull as it currently is.
And in some way being I came round the time dos was still king I sometimes want to return to the simple times where your os was just a basic crappy box where you shoved apps on.
As it is, I have used the desktop so much the cloud and all the online apps are something I have never been born into and I see no reason bar the obvious why I would want to change now.
In fact I see no reason from a user standpoint for what I do to even upgrade from xp though I do like the newer 7 interface.
As an os a windows 10 core is nice but even so I see no need for the extra features.
At the same time I wouldn't mind staying with a windows like os, as while yes there is linux I have to deal with windows and windows is what I grew up mostly with.
Its why I have a simbian cell now and will for some time.
And its probably why I have windows 7 and others in my immediate family will for the future do also.
Every time I try to get the nerve to upgrade I and my family have found it harder and harder to upgrade an os.
windows 3x to 95 was a no brainer.
as was 95 to 98 and then from 98 to xp.
But that is where it stuck, I saw no need to go vista.
And if xp hadn't gone out of support I wouldn't have left that.
I am happy I went to 7 though.
However yet again another sticking point, I see no need to ever upgrade again.
And with my dad retiring at the end of next month, the drive to have the latest legal office program and latest legal os is greatly diminished.
Now thats not going to mean I won't upgrade, or that I will pirate the next windows and office but its going to get just that bit harder to move on to use something I wouldn't ever need.
Even if its true I would probably be fine with it afterward.
Now if I could buy an os core and use whatever interface I want and whatever feature set and take bits and bobs of both it wouldn't matter a dime but I have to take it or leave it and that really starts to put me in a position especially now my funds will be more reduced.
Its going to become a have to rather than like to.
Or to put it another way, a if it works and I don't loose my data then I won't.
But like all things react os may never get there.

Hi
I keep checking on the react os project. It is up 04.40 now.
So far in accessibility they came up with a built in magnifier and
looks like some kind of access wizard.
I think they need blind computer users to show an interest in it. May
be they will get it accessible.
The read me is belo.

========================
ReactOS™ Version 0.4.x
Updated January 5, 2016
========================

1. What is ReactOS?
-------------------

ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system
that is
compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft®
Windows™ NT
family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Seven).

More information is available at: http://www.reactos.org


2. Relationship with the WINE project
-------------------------------------

ReactOS has always intended to work with the WINE project to share as much
programming effort as possible. This mainly concerns User Mode DLLs and
still happens to a degree today. Other areas of cooperation lie in
applications and testing suites.


3. Future compatibility
-----------------------

The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003
compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with
Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases.


4. Supporting other System Applications
---------------------------------------

The Windows NT architecture allows for subsystems, as does the ReactOS
architecture. A subsystem is an implementation of the APIs of another
operating system, allowing ReactOS to run applications from other systems.
We are already looking at subsystems for: Java, OS/2, and DOS and possibly
others in the future.


5. Tutorials
------------

Developer and User Tutorials: http://www.reactos.org/wiki

The tutorials contain more information on the project, compiling and
testing
ReactOS - amongst other topics. Contributors to the project are always
welcome.


6. Author
---------

This document was written by Jason Filby (jasonfilby@yahoo.com).

Thanks!

Hi, According to http://www.xe.com/ucc <http://www.xe.com/ucc>; the
universal currrency converter, 30 australian dollars equals $23.08 US. Of
course your bank will charge it's commission on top of that, so rates may
vary .

Although it requires an additional two or three commands, the easiest way to
do this now is probably to have the cursor on the number then press say
current word twice quickly. That spells the word or announces the number
you are on as single digits. You can try the other suggestions if you wish
but this one is the easiest unless you want to do things like modify the
speech dictionary.

apart from using spelling, the simplest way would be to have a
dictionary entry:
"(\d)(?=\d)" as input
"\1 " as output (beware of the space)
with regular expression for the mode.
That would append a space after any digit followedd by another, thus
making the reading digit by digit.

Hi All,

I was just wondering again today if it is still not possible for NVDA to
read numbers in groups. I mean like having it read telephone numbers in
single digits rather than in a combined manner.
Is there any means yet to have this done within NVDA?.

Many thanks,

Paul.

Hi. Wondering how one could purchase the ebook for a friend as a gift? Just some food for thought.

Hi Quentin,
From the sample, it seems very well written and practically
interactive, which should really help.
Most prominently though, I found the pricing very impartial and
mutually acceptible, as although I may not be able to purchase this
even to support NVDA due to not being a working person myself, but a
friend of mine is trying to learn and figure out using a computer with
NVDA, and my guidance significantly limited due to my own academic
constraints are not sufficient, I am pretty sure he would be willing
to purchase this e-book.
I will forward this announcement release to other platforms too, so
maximum people interested to begin using NVDA even as a transition can
efficiently do so.
Thanks.

middle men and have usually ended up wondering who nicked the momey!

any thoughts?

Hi Quentin



Before I throw you a curve ball, a bit of background.



I am employed by the Institute for the Blind in Worcester, South Africa. I
am involved in training adult blind persons, mostly from our so-called
“previously disadvantaged” communities. These people, under normal
circumstances receive a state grant of, if I convert it to Australian dollar

at a rate of ten to one, fourteen dollar.



Our institution is usually obliged to write off their study costs. So what I

am driving at, is to ask whether it might be possible to obtain a copy of
the training material at a discount or, at best, free of charge.



I understand that the development of NVDA doesn’t come cheep, and I, as a
blind person myself, genuinely appreciate what is done. To my mind NVDA is
probably the best speech program available. I don’t just say this because it

is the correct thing to do, this is my true opinion.



Please don’t feel that it is your duty to give us the material for free, or

at a discount, I am just enquiring.



Thanks again for everything that you, and whoever else, do to provide the
blind community, world wide, with this brilliant package.



Best wishes for the further development and regards



Christo Vorster, South Africa

Hi Ondrej,



A very good question.  It is something that's come up in discussion.  As you

note, it is a lot of work to translate and we do very much appreciate the
work that you are already doing.



The priority to date has been getting the material released electronically
initially.  Now that is done we are working to make it available in audio
and braille (in English) and also setting up the certification exam.



We will definitely look at the question of translation although to start
with we don't want to put any extra on your shoulders just yet.



Kind regards



Quentin.

Hi,
Very interesting. My question: would it be possible to translate it to other

languages? I am translating NVDA to Slovak, so I can imagine that translator

volunteers theoretically should translate this document to their language. I

realize, that it is som much work and It may take more time. Do you plan
this?
