There was a screen reader for the comodore 64 as well, I used to use it on my brother's machine to play the infocom games. It sounded very robotic, had no controls to change the spech, (or if it did,

Nah, there's times when a second screen reader is useful. A demo of another screen reader is fine for most purposes. I use NVDA as my main screen reader, but sometimes it is necessary to get a second

I installed cobra, but I just couldn't get it to do anything useful. It acted like a microsoft product, in that it took over everything, (and I mean everything), I couldn't get out of it to do anythin

Probably already answered, but here's what I do. NVDA does have it's own search function (NVDA-F), but I don't use it. I do the same exact thing you did, with the only difference being, after you pres

Actually, I bought the source rights to window bridge, but due to some shipping screw ups by ups, the main development computer was lost in transit, and as a result, I never received all the necessary

Heh, what's more amusing is the companies that not only don't create a text version of their newsletter, but fill in complete garbage for the text portion of the newsletter, which obviously doesn't sh

Thank you, you just proved my point. Remember I said just because a program is the most popular doesn't make it first/best/any number of other things?

The only statement in this thread I have to take exception to is the statement that jaws was providing access before anyone else. This statement is completely false. The very first screen reader ever

The cost of braille displays is (mostly) what the market will bear. I know they claim it's the technology used to raise and lower the pins, but I can buy those pizo membrane things for $1.50 each from

According to w3schools.org (the definitive source on all things html) the space character is not permitted in urls. The page: https://www.w3schools.com/TagS/ref_urlencode.asp spaces *must* be encoded

Once again, the survey continues to ignore screen readers for other operating systems. It's nice they actually mention more than one for android, but each time I take this survey, I've commented that

Nah, I think it's more related to vi vs. sighted. On all vi lists, top posting is the thing, on most sighted lists, bottom posting is it. I've seen folks yelled at multiple times for not bottom postin

Usenet has groups (just like some web sites) where illegal stuff shows up, but it's more useful for it's thousands of groups covering every topic imaginable, where you can get information and talk abo

Usenet is the www before the www existed. Well, it was more of a cross between groups.io and the www. You could literally find anything on usenet, but it's more or less a large (and I mena large) coll

It's extremely easy to navigate, but the facebook mobile page doesn't have everything the main facebook page has, or sometimes it does, but it's burried somewhere, and good luck finding it. It's nearl

nope, don't need any help. Already said I'm going to abandon the attempt. For a company who claims the accolades this one does, their site design is atrocious, and their software should not be nearly

I have to say, the web page where the nvda plugin is up for download is terrible. According to the site (and I quote). Once the Add-on is installed along with NVDA, you can select either Code Factory

Anyone have any idea how to get these to work? I've installed the nvda plugin, but when I go to synthesizer, and select code factory, it brings up a dialog that says: You need to install vocalizer voi

To be fair though, he did ask a question, and so far, I've not actually seen an answer to his question. I'm kind of curious myself now. How much do these other voices for NVDA cost? I know I could go

The only time I've seen thunderbird read the subject line multiple times instead of reading the message directly is when my machine is busy. It's possible others are experiencing high cpu loads, and t
