Thee, many thanks for not only producing these videos but for alerting the list that they are available. I’m not at all embarrassed to say that I barely remembered reading about how to add a new insta

Are you people serious? First, there are countless videos on Youtube primarily for sighted users containing how-to guides on any number of topics. Of course, compiling the essentials in a written post

Cisco, have you checked to see if the preview pane in File Explorer is enabled? Press alt-V to go to the View tab on the ribbon. Navigate by pressing the tab key until you move to the Preview Pane but

Josh, I haven’t done a complete comparison between the Acapela voices and the Code Factory voices but I would judge their responsiveness as similar. The Acapela voices might be a tad bit less responsi

My only disagreement with Steve’s description is that when you set the JAWS screen echo to “all” it does not automatically speak the contents of the screen. This is not particularly detailed but here

I sometimes provide technical support for a sighted friend of my wife to assist her with her computer. Today she asked if I ever used LogMeIn to provide remote assistance. I’ve heard of this software
