I doubt it very much. Chrome books come with its own screenreader, vox.

Re: cannot control mic volume

1. Open up your Run Dialogue by using the Windows key+R keystroke.

2. Type exactly (what is below) and press Enter mmsys.cpl 3. This should honestly take you to your Playback Tab where your various speakers are available. 4. So you will want to ControlTab once to the RecordingTab where you will adjust your microphone accordingly and OK it when finished.

Re: A problem with an SD card in a VR Trek
Steven Johnson
Yes, you can. However, I haven’t seen XP in so long that I can’t remember how to get to the command prompt. I seem to remember that it is located under accessories. Maybe go to the start menu, go to all programs, and I think accessories was near the bottom of the list. Once you get to the command prompt though, you can type chkdsk /f /r e: or whatever your card’s drive letter is, and chkdsk will try to find and repair bad/corrupt sectors on the card. It seems to be worth a shot anyhow.

Re: A problem with an SD card in a VR Trek
Steven Johnson
Good morning Kay. I had an SD card do that to me about a month ago. My computer wouldn’t let me open it, and I couldn’t get JAWS to read the actual volume label. I was able to get at my documents and make the card work again with the repair functionality of chkdsk under Windows 10. First, make sure that you know the drive letter of your card; for example, f:. Do Windows key X, then arrow down to Windows Power Shell Admin, or instead hit the letter A. A command prompt will open. Type chkdsk /f /r f: and hit enter. I don’t think it can do any harm, and it may work. It takes a while to do its thing.

Hello, I added a couple of .docx to the text files folder of a card that I have been using for quite some time. Now when I try to put it in my VRTrek,I get a media 3 error. So I tried another card and all is fine with that. So, I decided to put it back in to my computer and the disc name does not come up on the list of drives. It just says the drive name. When I press enter on it, I am asked if I want to reformat? Ok, if it is corrupted is their any way to salvage what is on there? I have a ton of notes that I really need for classes and things like that. I have a san disc utility but I don't think that does any salvage functions. any thoughts? I have at least 30 GB of books and other things. Please if you have any ideas, let me know.

You could check the right-protect tab and make sure it is in the down position. Just a thought.

Re: reading a Microsoft excel sheet letter by letter

I think Troy is using JAWS. While I don't use
Excel, I would think it likely that another way would be to route the JAWS
cursor to the pc cursor and read the information that way. There have
already been other options discussed and it may somewhat be a matter of
preference, but using the JAWS cursor hasn't been discussed yet.

Re: reading a Microsoft excel sheet letter by letter

I don't use Excel, but why NVDA plus up
arrow? That command moves you to the higher level object. I would
think just up arrow on the numpad is what you are discussing, which reads the
current object.

contents, with NVDA, you can press NVDA+up arrow twice quickly (or if using
laptop keyboard layout, NVDA+L twice quickly) which will spell the current line
(press just once to read the text rather than spell it) - so you can read the
first line within a cell without going into edit mode - names and phone numbers
are probably only on one line each.
