Re: NLS Folder Question
Pamela Dominguez
You don’t need to create any kind of a folder for them. If you want
to put mp3s on a drive that has NLS books in the route of the drive, then, you
would have to create a folder for the mp3s. But for BARD books, you don’t
have to do anything except put them on the drive after you unzip them.
Pam.
I vaguely remember that I need to create an NLS
folder on my thumb drive if I wish to place NLS books on it to use with the NLS
player. What is that folder called?
Thank you.
Vicki

There are some talking typing teacher programs around. We use one at work called Talking Typer, I believe we got it from APH. It will tell you your typing speed and level of accuracy.
I type at around 70 words a minute. Been typing for 41 years.

Re: Victor stream email list
Brian K. Lingard
Dear Karim Lakhani & List:
The list has a couple of Humanware dealers on it, however almost all parts for the Stream are proprietary, it consists of the case, battery, motherboard and keypad. What parts are you seeking? Humanware does not do repairs to the headphone or microphone jacks, they appear to replace the entire Motherboard, either that or doing some micro-soldering is outrageously expensive! You may find a local electronics repair center will do headphone or mike jack repairs at a fraction of Humanware's charge. Brian K.

Re: What is your typing speed?

Hi Group,
To give my own typing speed test, I set a timer for 1 minute and then typed a standard typing test phrase such as: 'The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dogs' until I her the timer sound to end the 1 minute. Then I counted the number of words or set my word processor to do so and subtracted a word for each misspelled word and got my total for one minute.

Re: What is your typing speed?
Ron Canazzi
Hi Group,
Before my health decline, I could type around 150 Words per minute. I am still about 75 word per minute now. As far as advice, the only way to get good at this or any other skill is to practice a lot. Before the days of talking computers, when I did everything by rote memorization, I was more cautious. I don't quite remember the speed--probably about 60 or 70 words per minute, but once I got speech with my computer, and I could hear each word and spell check, that's when my speed increased--until my neural motor conditions slowed me down.

Accessible price tracking extensions?
Cristóbal
Hello list, I’m in search of an accessible price tracking service/extension. I’ve tried CamelCamelCamel Keepa, Price Plus and Honey for example. For the usual sites, Amazon, NewEgg, BestBuy and so on, but all in all, they don’t really provide this info in an accessible format. They’re all pretty much graph/chart driven. There is sometimes some info that can be accessed. CamelCamelCamel can provide the highest/lowest price, but as far as more detailed info? Not really. Is anyone aware of a service/extension that can provide this sort of information in an accessible manner? I’m guessing most likely in a table format? To be clear, I’m not looking for a price tracker that can alert one when there’s a price drop. That I can get to work fine. It’s the historical price tracking stuff I’m interested in. My main screen reader is Jaws, but I can also use NVDA if that makes any sort of a difference. Thanks,

OT: request for participation in a study
enes sarıbaş
Hi all, As part of my MPhil degree in Theoretical and Applied linguistics at the University of Cambridge, I am conducting research on how blind and sighted adults understand and interpret language. I am looking for congenitally blind and early blind and sighted adults aged between 18 and 67, who do not have any additional disabilities, and who grew up in an English-speaking country. I am currently finalizing my survey and expect to complete it within a week. I expect it to take between 40-45 minutes when finished. Participants in the survey will be entered into a draw to win four £25.00 amazon.co.uk gift cards. Anyone who would like to participate in the survey please e-mail me at my academic address (es777@...), and I will send out the survey when it is completed. I apologize for the off topic post.

Your comment about the difference between Siri and how it works on the 7 and eight caught my attention. The fact that Siri is in "the cloud" is one of the reasons I prefer not to use it. Siri working :onboard" is more appealing to me. Now If the I phone 8 would go on sale for zero down with a 2 year contract I would go for that. That's me. Always wanting the thing that is just out of reach. Monte

Hi Group, I am learning the iPhone through an instructor who is Apple certified. He has instructed me to learn the keyboard method, but I tell you, using the dictation method works so well for me. I even sent a perfectly formatted version of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's The Arrow and the Song from my iPhone to my main e-mail address accessible from my computer and it had only one small mistake. The voice recognition on the iPhone is so remarkable it defies description. BTW, someone on this list had said that the dictation method is insecure because it is using Siri in the cloud to accomplish the task. According to my instructor, beginning with iPhone 8, this is no longer true. The whole process occurs on the iPhone itself and not in the cloud. Thus the dictation method is no less secure than any other method of text input.

Now, I can't type 85 words a minute, like I did medical records, but I can type, and the thing tells me what is misspelled, then there are words I can double-tap on, if I find the right one. How fine is that? Of course, that should happen with the Bluetooth too. It's just that I had a keyboard with my Android tablet - loved the tablet, did not like the keyboard at all, thought it was clumsy and stiff. I have been much more immediately accurate on the iPhone one than I was on that one. I would go into notes and practice every day to try to get better at it. Good thing that all of that is available, so whatever works to our best advantage, we can use.-- They Ask Me If I'm Happy; I say Yes. They ask: "How Happy are You?"
