Re: malware bytes tray application

Heather:
 
I have the free version also, and kept getting this message all the time too.  Very annoying.
 
I found that after you run a scan, with the free version, you can go into the system tray, enter on Malware Bites and arrow down to the ‘quit Malware Bites’ option and enter on it.  This will remove it from the system tray temporarily and the announcement will not come up again until you run another scan.
 
You will have to go through these steps after every time you run a scan manually.
 
I only run a scan about once a week, so not a big deal to go into the system tray and do this.
 
I don’t think it would work with the paid version, as it is always running with real time protection.

Office 2016 works fine with NVDA at least (and in fairness, I'd assume it should work fine with Jaws also).  If you do get tempted to go further into using advanced features of Word, we have a training module on Microsoft Word with NVDA:  https://www.nvaccess.org/product/microsoft-word-training-for-nvda-ebook/  It's only $30 Australian, which still should just come in under your $24 cost of Office itself :)

 

There is a newer version of Office, Office 2019, which like Office 2016, is a standalone, one-off purchase.  Otherwise the newest version of Office which is constantly updated, is Office 365, which is a yearly or monthly subscription.

 

Kind regards

 

Quentin.

System volume information is used by system restore.  You may have to tell
Windows not to monitor that drive to keep that file from being placed on the
drive.  If no one tells you how, I can look up information but someone may
tell you.

If you want to find out how much room it is taking up, open the properties
for the drive and compare the amount of free space with the amount of used
space when nothing else is on the drive.  System Volume information can't be
looked at for size using drive properties.

It may be, as Richard says, that you are going through work to free up space
that isn't enough to matter.

Oh, just wondering what does googling something have to do with needing a brailled serial number being placed on a braille device! Or why should I be disappointed that I was not given a braille manual or even a braille guide to go with my braille only device! It is a “braille,” oriented device that came with a “print manual,” and a “print serial number,” on the bottom of a braille oriented device. How many sighted people do you see walking around with a braille labeler that does not have a spec of print accept for that lovely serial number on the bottom that I am told one has to have super vision to read!

Hi am not to pleased with this thing and have not even used it yet. I really wish there was a e-mail to send my complaint too! So this is for the blind person who reads braille and they cant even be bothered to include a braille product guide to the unit! They are to lazy to emboss the serial number on the back of the unit however, the serial number is in print and the manual is in print too. So the catch was when I called to ask where the braille guide was, they in there infinite wisdom asked me the blind user for a serial number. So I am not lazy so I had to pull out my app off my phone to see if it could read it. Apparently it was written on a shiny area on the back and I could not get my app to capture the serial number or the lighting was off who knows. So if you can put braille on the unit all over, why the heck cant you emboss the serial number too. I am blind not stupid I do not need it to say six dot all over the unit once was enough. So Who are the morons who provide braille items and still expect you to have sighted assistance in 2020? I am glad I did not purchase this thing, it was given to me as a medical device! A device I still cant use yet as I have to wait for snail male to get my embossed braille guide. Sie! Heather

Hi all,

Googling is definitely a basic computer skill, but many do not have it. Moreover, if the manual is in .pdf, she will have to convert it to a .brf file if she has access to paperless braille.

Apparently, she's supposed to be getting the hard copy manual tomorrow. Let's see what happens.

They are to lazy to emboss the serial number on the back of the unit however, the serial number is in print and the manual is in print too. So the catch was when I called to ask where the braille guide was, they in there infinite wisdom asked me the blind user for a serial number. So I am not lazy so I had to pull out my app off my phone to see if it could read it. Apparently it was written on a shiny area on the back and I could not get my app to capture the serial number or the lighting was off who knows. So if you can put braille on the unit all over, why the heck cant you emboss the serial number too. I am blind not stupid I do not need it to say six dot all over the unit once was enough. So Who are the morons who provide braille items and still expect you to have sighted assistance in 2020? I am glad I did not purchase this thing, it was given to me as a medical device! A device I still cant use yet as I have to wait for snail male to get my embossed braille guide. Sie! Heather

Re: NLS cartrage

System volume information is used by system restore.  You may have to tell Windows not to monitor that drive to keep that file from being placed on the drive.  If no one tells you how, I can look up information but someone may tell you. 
If you want to find out how much room it is taking up, open the properties for the drive and compare the amount of free space with the amount of used space when nothing else is on the drive.  System Volume information can't be looked at for size using drive properties. 
 
It may be, as Richard says, that you are going through work to free up space that isn't enough to matter.

Hi Howard,
Every drive has system volume information, usually hidden,
for identification by the operating system.
The size of that folder is usually not enough to worry about.

Absolutely correct. I have a half dozen that I purchased from someone
on one of these lists. And windows always leaves the folder I
mentioned. So, I'd like to make a clean cartrage before I stick boox on it.

Re: 6 dot braille label maker

First, you made a general statement in your previous message, not applying to this situation, specifically.  They may be breaking the law in this specific instance. 
 
Second, you are making general statements that are unsupportable because they are general where such generalizations can't correctly be made.  Braille is and will always be the best way to look something up?  What kind of Braille, paper Braille or computer Braille.  No sighted person would say that a print book is anywhere near as efficient to look something up with as a word processor document or a web page or an Internet search. 
 
With Braille, just as with print, the point is what you use to look something up, not whether it is Braille or print.  You can read the results using a Braille display with a computer or listen with speech.  They are both fast and there is little, difference, there may be a slight difference at times, such as checking the spelling of a word if you are checking the spelling to learn it for yourself.  It may be faster often, to use a Braille display for this purpose. 
 
But you simply can't maintain that paper Braille can compare in efficiency even remotely, to using a computer. 
 
Obviously, the serial number should be in Braille.  Braille should be available for those who want it.  You don't know how many people want it and a company can, rightly, make this optional if they tell people that Braille is available.  its obviously cheaper to have material available in a computer document.  I used the example of an audio file not because it is the desirable format, but to demonstrate that the law isn't dictatorial or specific.  Reasonable is the important word.  and reasonable doesn't dictate how something id done, other than that it is reasonable.

    Heather is right if you can't use audio then yes they do have to provide braille they just don't want to comply with the ada they just want to take the easy out because they are lazy and don't care how would they feel if one day they find themselves blind and they can't get braille.  For us it's always just use audio or go on line but the sighted have print but we are denied the writen word when braille is the best sulution for blind people.  Just try to look somthing up on an audio cd or find it on line.  Lets not forget that some people don't have unlimited data if they do have internet.  There is just not only one sulution that is best for everyone but to them there is.  Braille is and will always be the best way to look somthing up just as sighted people use print.  Try telling sighted people to just use audio or go on line.  Not everyone has on line access.  aAny company that sells products for the blind and refuses to provide braille should be ashamed of themselves and should be forced to by law.

I think it is a reasonable accommodation  as I am considered partially deaf blind and I do not get a lot of things threw audio. One of the reasons I was given a electronic braille labeler was because I have mussel weakness and needed a way to use braille. It was noted that, I do not use audio so I needed away to have braille as an alternative instead of say, a pen labeler that uses audio or the hand held labeler which my mussel weakness prevents me from using. I cant use that stupid prescription audio thing, I have to label all my stuff by hand!  So knowing this, how can I be given a medical device, as they coded it, without braille! Is that not why the social security was ordered to provide letters in braille format! I think it falls under the same thing. Heather

I doubt any law mandates that something be made accessible in that specific a way.  If it is accessible because a document is given that you can use, PDF or otherwise, even an audio file, I think that would satisfy the law.

Well, I was given this device by my insureance provider threw mobility and seating. They purchased it from a rehav place which know one has bothered to tell me wich one. So I called Logan  tec up in Dallas who wanted to send me to a site to download the pdf file. I insisted I get a embossed braille coppy. They are the original makers of the device which is currently sitting on my desk till I get the manual for it. I can only turn it on but, that is all I know how to do. I know what the different parts are but, do not know how to operate it. I am still waiting for my insureance to tell me where exactly they purchased the device from. I hope to get my manual tomorrow. I was thinking, if they bought a device under the medical laws, does the section508 law apply. I was not given materials in my format when I received it.  I will not bother my NFB chapter about this, do not think they would care here, sie! Cheers Heather

I agree! When our nfb chapter meets next month, I will bring this

up for discussion.  Braille will never die! We will not let it. 

It is the quickest way for us.  It is faster than speech if you

already know it.  You should not have to open an app and aim a

camera that may not read it.  I was not aware that Roger can

braille the manual for his items.  But I am very happy with

Roger.  He puts the serial number in braille on the box.  He

works harder than HumanWare.  But if these agencies claim that

they sell products for us, then they should follow through and

not do half their job.  The product should definitely come with a

braille manual and serial number.  Thank you.
