Composing New Messages on Gmail Site
Abbie Taylor
On the gmail site, when I select a contact by checking the appropriate
box, then press the Compose button, more often than not, the person's name appears in the To field but not the address. When I try to send the message, I'm told this can't be done because the address is missing. Is there another way to insert someone from contacts as a message recipient, or is there a way I can edit contacts so the address appears in the To field? -- Abbie Johnson Taylor, Author http://abbiescorner.wordpress.com http://www.abbiejohnsontaylor.com abbietaylor945@... -- Abbie Johnson Taylor, Author https://abbiescorner.wordpress.com http://www.abbiejohnsontaylor.com abbietaylor945@... |

Re: OE Classic and JAWS
Marie <magpie.mn@...>
I use Windows live mail with Windows 10 on three systems and it works fine with all three. I use Jaws primarily but can also use NVDA.

Thunderbird is a pretty good email client but has some very annoying issues in my opinion. If you wish to exit the message you are reading without deleting it, you have to close it before you go to the next message, whereas with WLM you simply press Jaws + right arrow to move to the next message. When you read all the unread messages in a folder and there is one read which you want left there, TB goes into that message and you often have to press the esc key before you can go back to the tree view. These two issues have continued through several updates with no change. -----Original Message-----

Re: Is BARD using Synthetic Speech to read books?
Gene
You didn't send privately. If it is of concern, to avoid embarrassment, it would be a good idea to check the address every time you send a private message. Lists aren't consistent in how they work with such commands.

Accessible Way of Formatting a 512GB SD Card For Use in the BN Touch Plus
Debbie April Yuille
Hi All
I’ve purchased a 512GB SD card which I need to format to fat32 so I can use it in the BrailleNote Touch Plus. Windows itself has no way to format a card over 64GB to fat32 that I know of. Does anyone have any accessible third-party solutions?
Thanks Debbie |

That is also a database bug. You will notice all those entries have no read time, and are comertial recordings. You can see the real narrators by looking up the title on audible.

Believe it or not, some of their narrators read many books. I don’t know where they find the time to read them all, but they do.

It's a database error. She isn't really reading all those books. Some kind of bug. It will be fixed, they hope.

Is BARD using Synthetic Speech to read books?
Dave
Hello,
Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that there are a lot of books that are read by someone going by the name of Marybeth Wise. The types of Books have a very wide range of subject, and so many have recently been read by this woman, I am thinking it is too many for one person to read even in one year. So, I wonder if BARD is now using a Machine to Read books for BARD? Anyone know for sure, one way or the other? Was curious so thought I would ask the rest of you. Grumpy Dave |

Try finereader. I upgraded from 14 to 15, and OCR is massively improved especially 14 over 12. K1000 uses the finereader engine anyway. On 11/25/2020 7:08 AM, Gene wrote:
Do you have samples of the kind of material you will be regularly scanning? I don't know if there is better OCR available, but if Kurzweil scans the kind of material you want to scan well and it is significantly cheaper to upgrade, then upgrading would probably be the better thing to do unless you get better results among material you generally scan or rarely scanned material is important to get the best results from. |

Re: Are there any accessible online malware scanners
Gene
I've been playing with the EEK scanner and it works after a fashion. Windows keeps presenting a message that this version of Windows requires signed drivers and that this one isn't. The support discussion I read in a forum says the driver should be recognized and gives no helpful information. the woman who presented the problem didn't get it resolved. The program worked fine before I upgraded to Service Pack 1 of Windows 7. So is this a problem with the programs or the Windows on my system? I saw one or two Google results for this problem so who knows? The program can't remove certain things it might, but it detects just as well according to the support form. I'll worry about removal if I need to later. Nothing was found by the program and Malware bytes didn't find anything either.

Re: sending money to a friend using pay pal
Gene
It would b a good idea to have Firefox available. Actually, Firefox portable would be better. With all the browsers available, I suspect many people have two or maybe three Chrome-based browsers. That is an oversight, to have two or three Chrome-based browsers and only an increasingly archaic nonChrome browser. A nonChrome browser may work with some pages better than a Chrome-based browser does.
