Yes, it is absolutely correct that a large part, probably 80-90% of sales of adaptive technology products come from government. This is why I still haven't got a braille display even though I contacte

What I usually do is set it to read the visible pages only and then just press control page down when I want a new page. Adobe is very slow yes. I've found also that setting the default reading order

Good to know. The KNFB Reader demo didn't look all that promising. So I'll have to investigate this. Thank you for that.

Yes, I'd thought about that. That's the reason I didn't get one of the ones that works on the phone. If you send it for processing, who knows what happens to your image? Getting a good scan with a pho

I was wondering the same thing. I currently have a phone and computer but not a standalone scanner. How good is OCR these days? Should I get a scanner for things like legal documents and other importa

Yes, keyboard help is really useful, even if you know your keyboard well. They put keys on laptop keyboards in weird places and that can really mess things up. It's also a quick typing tutor if you're

I'd figure the password manager built into the browser should be enough. I used to use lastpass back in the day, but I can't be bothered with password managers myself. I just use the same 20 or 30 rot

When you're in the list of messages, just press control + a and then press delete.

Is there a way to be sure you have audio enhancements disabled? I'm not sure if disabling the realtek startup stuff was enough to do it, but it seems that it is. Now I just get a tiny crackle during t

Yes, I've done that I think. Windows 10 doesn't have a disable all enhancements checkbox for playback, so I'm not sure if I've disabled them fully or not, I've disabled the realtek services from runni

OK, well it's good they're updating the code then. I'll check out the free trial and see what it does. It's kind of silly that they charge that much for voices, but if it works, it's probably worth it

What would make it stop working would be the removing of old compatibility code from C libraries, or removing 32-bit libraries. Both of those are likely to happen in the near future. They may have upd

Yes, this is true, all the newer synths are very poor. Eloquence is a bit too human sounding, but you're right I'd put up with it because it does speak fast. The trouble is that it's old code and I'm

It does, except the integrated Windows 10 Skype is a pain to use because I still haven't figured out how to answer incoming calls with the thing, and it seems to be missing keyboard shortcuts. Accordi

And then there is me. I don't like any of the available voices, because they're all too human sounding and speak too slowly. I liked the DoubleTalk voices, or maybe the Accent or Artic voices, but non

And even if you do that it's still not likely to work. They must be using some on-chip codecs because I'm still getting dynamic compression applied. It's less worse than it was with the realtek servic

And if you are unlucky enough to have one of these laptops with DTS linked to the realtek audio manager, and no way to disable the "enhancements", then you're stuck going into task manager and finding

I haven't noticed that, but I did have to fiddle with the audio drivers quite a bit. It seems that the chipset in this laptop has some idiotic codecs that get loaded and do weird stuff to the sound, s

Yeah, that is a good point. I already had to run the troubleshooter once because the initial update corrupted the Windows database. I think that the poor wifi signal here might have been partly respon

Is this related to that bug that still means that some edit fields don't read in Chrome? Or is that a different bug? And by not reading I mean that I can type text but cannot review the text with curs
