Hi Lisa,

In many ways the Iphones and the androids are similar.
In apple land, You can ask siri some questions and get it to do some things.
Voiceover does not answer question or do things. It just reports what is on the screen.
Maybe things are similar with the Samsung galaxies.
Hopefully someone with the real info will clarify these things.
Maybe our great friend Olusegun will add his 20 cents worth.

Okay, so I'll ask this question. . . How much does it talk with just the Voice Assist? I know people who get the iPhone thinking SIRIUS will read and do everything for them and it just doesn't work that way. Can I use the Voice Assist to do other things besides texting and calling? What about Emails and surfing the net? I know you said you don't do these things, but is their voice feedback when trying to do them?

Any experience with this Voice Assist? The only Android knowledge I
have is with an Amazon Fire Tablet with the Google Play Store on it,
but that uses Amazon's voice.

Hi, all.


My sighted mom who knows nothing about smart phones is getting a
Samsung A10e from QVC. This looks like a good deal if you like
TracFone. I may have to help her learn to use it. Does this phone
have Talkback or some other Android speech? I am an iPhone user
with Verizon, but I am also curious about the quote Other Side unquote.


Any pointers would be helpful.

Groups.io has a command to circumvent GMail's not sending you your own list mail. It has been on by default for a long time.

Oh and to also receive your own replies in your inbox, there is a setting on the groups.io website that needs to be changed. If you want, I can walk you through that as well as send you a automatic login link that way that you can go onto Jessie's settings or if you wish for me to do it for you, I could go off-line with you, and login to your Gmail and fix the problem for you if you would like. And I will by and if you don't feel comfortable with me doing it, if you want to give me your computer guys phone number that helps you out all the time, I can give him the steps and he can fix it for you if you would like.

admit to this and someone else on this list posted something to the effect
this would happen after a certain number of emails per month. Well whatever
the problem with Charter is, I have absolutely zero problems with Fastmail.

Since I don't know just what you hear or where you are from direct observation, the following is based on what appears to be the case. If it isn't, for example, if Google isn't the home page, let us know.

Either don't make Google your home page or turn off automatic going into forms mode when you are on an edit field.
Or just ignore where you are and use control O or control l if you are using browsers other than Internet Explorer and type an address. Or follow a book mark. Google, evidently is your home page and its opening. When it opens, Google automatically places you on the edit field to search. Your screehn-reader is probably automatically going into forms mode. Google isn't bugging you. Its doing what it should do as the home page.

As far as you not seeing your message, are you talking about when using Groups.io or other list serves?

No, my messages only show up if somebody replies to them, but I don't see
the message when I first send them. Only if somebody replies to them. As
for them being under the replies, that's where they belong. But every time
I open up a browser to type in a website, google automatically gets right
there and puts me in search mode, as if I'm searching for something, not
actually knowing what I want to open. So, I have to take it out of that
mode. That's what I mean bugging me all the time. I only want google if I

the problem with Charter is, I have absolutely zero problems with Fastmail.
Another problem I had with Charter was boucing email with Groups.io which is
something I have zero problems using Fastmail.

I have a charter email account set up and I can send and receive messages
just fine except to or from Groups.io. Is there some conflict between the
two?

No, Groups. that io has a rerouting function there is a checkbox in your account, that will allow you to receive your own messages. I was explaining this feature for Pam.

I'm not sure what command you are talking about. If it is the recent command, that isn't something you adjust on the web site, so I don't think you are talking about that. And, from trying it, I concluded that it wasn't sending my list mail directly from the list. It was sending me a copy of my message but not from the list serve. So it was useless in terms of telling me whether my messag had reached the list.

But none of this matters if you use Groups.io lists and a lot of e-mail lists have migrated there, or here, since we are using it on this list. GMail has no command to allow you to receive list mail. Groups.io has a command to circumvent GMail's not sending you your own list mail. It has been on by default for a long time. So, given the number of groups on Groups.io now, this may not be much problem anymore for a lot of blind e-mail list users or a minor one.

Oh and to also receive your own replies in your inbox, there is a setting on the groups.io website that needs to be changed. If you want, I can walk you through that as well as send you a automatic login link that way that you can go onto Jessie's settings or if you wish for me to do it for you, I could go off-line with you, and login to your Gmail and fix the problem for you if you would like. And I will by and if you don't feel comfortable with me doing it, if you want to give me your computer guys phone number that helps you out all the time, I can give him the steps and he can fix it for you if you would like. Because I know you've been going through a lot here lately.no means give anybody any of your information.

You have to pay for Fast Mail, but not with GMail. GMail works very well
and you can use it with e-mail programs. It may be that Fast Mail has
features some people may want but I don't think the typical e-mail user
would want them.

Hi Marie,

This is exactly why I ditched Charter and went to Fastmail for all my email
groups, . It seems that Charter will throttle down your email if you
receive / send too much email, but I could never get Charter / Spectrum to
admit to this and someone else on this list posted something to the effect
this would happen after a certain number of emails per month. Well whatever
the problem with Charter is, I have absolutely zero problems with Fastmail.
Another problem I had with Charter was boucing email with Groups.io which is

No, my messages only show up if somebody replies to them, but I don't see the message when I first send them. Only if somebody replies to them.

But every time I open up a browser to type in a website, google automatically gets right there and puts me in search mode, as if I'm searching for something, not actually knowing what I want to open.

Hi, all.


My sighted mom who knows nothing about smart phones is getting a Samsung
A10e from QVC.  This looks like a good deal if you like TracFone.  I may
have to help her learn to use it.  Does this phone have Talkback or some
other Android speech?  I am an iPhone user with Verizon, but I am also
curious about the quote Other Side unquote.


Any pointers would be helpful.

Encryption Software with JAWS

Jerry Berrier
 

I am seeking commercial encryption software for Windows that is compatible with JAWS. I’ve already been told there is no such thing, but I want to get a second opinion before I give up.

Right now we are using Trend Micro. It requires a login prior to Windows loading, so JAWS is not available and the user must log in “blind”.

Any suggestions?

Also, we tried encrypting a drive with Bitlocker and JAWS would not accept a password.  NVDA worked, but JAWS would not.  I cannot explain that one.

Sometimes the big companies the spam boxes do not sing over another reason why I would suggest that, is because on mine whenever I first got my cable box, I had a box say I could check that would move all suspected messages that might be spam to my inbox I wouldn't even have to worry about checking my spam box. Which is what I've done with this current account.
