I see that the knfb reader is on sale. In the messages I saw here it said it was for win 10. Is there a version that will work with win 7. Thanks, Monte

#article

Hi All,
Got this from a friend, & thought
some of you might be interested.
** Verizon
Launches Accessibility Features
Verizon
Communications recently launched a resource page for its newly upgraded FiOS
accessible video subscription service. The page provides information on FiOS
text-to-speech functionality, which was pushed out to subscribers during a
recent software update throughout the Verizon network.
The upgraded
accessibility features are part of the changes made through the 21st Century
Communications & Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), which requires cable
providers to make their navigation systems accessible for customers who are
blind and visually impaired. These features are currently available on most FiOS
systems. To learn more about the accessibility upgrades, including steps on how
to activate such features, visit,

At least for the

which can emulate the XP

In VMWare, you have an option "Removable devices" under the tools menu, I think. Under that menu entry is your braille display. Have it disconnect from host and connect to guest. If it is USB, BRLTTY will see it and you will have braille. That has always worked reliably for me.

Re: Replacement for Dropbox Public Links
Gene
That is definitely not correct. I have shared
links once or twice and Drop Box has documentation that says that you can share
files just as you could using Public links. I didn't follow whatever links
were in the message because I already knew about sharing links, having tried the
procedure to see if I understood it. So I'm not speaking from conjecture
or second hand knowledge.
Look for a file that is not in the public
folder. You should see files somewhere that Drop Box places somewhere in
its folder and file structure. Try sharing it as I said. Try
downloading it. If you do it correctly, you will be able to.

Re: Replacement for Dropbox Public Links
Gene
You can still share just as you used to. But
you will have to use the share command in the context menu instead of using the
public links folder, which will no longer exist. You will have to have new
links created for every file you had public links to before. All the files
will still be there but not in the public links folder. The shared link
will be placed on your clipboard. That is, as I recall the procedure, not
having done it more than once or twice. you find the share item in the context
menu that you open when you are on a file in the list. When you press
enter on share, my recollection is that a link is automatically created and
placed on the clipboard. Paste it wherever you want and be sure to change
the 0 at the end to a 1. This will cause the download dialog to come up
just as before when someone follows the link.
This is, in my opinion, a completely needless
inconvenience. I may not know something technically, but I see no problem
with having left all old public links alone while not allowing more to be
created. As it is now, every time someone wants something I've put up in
the past, I will have to have a new link created. The new link will work
indefinitely but the point is that many people have used my old links and may
have kept them for reference. These will all be worthless.
But I don't see the point of switching to another
service. I'd have to do more work to switch.

Links longer be able to send public links to my files as of March 15.

I would like to maintain the free download of these files regardless of whether the downloader has a certain download program.
