I'm a blind male working at a school district as a para professional for the VI department. I love learning new things and show how things work. I'm interested in assistive technology and am learning how to read and write braille music. I'm originally from Mexico but now live in the Central Valley in California. I also am trying to learn how to play a handful of instruments.

But I would have to do that with every presentation. And I need to review up to three or four PowerPoint presentation each week for this semester. (2/2)

@technocounselor @JamiePauls @stevenscott I too, wanted you to stay on NVDA when I purchased my latest mini book. However, just like you, PowerPoint presentation, which are crucial this semester for one of my classes will not be red correctly with NVDA. It was after I ran the print PowerPoint presentation with Jaws, that NVDA started to behave like it was supposed to. (1/2)

@amy0223 Hi, if this is too late, I just came across your Toot!. Have you ever used a cooling rack rack as a guide? I myself haven’t tried it. I just heard about it. By placing the cooling rack over the pan of your brownies, just count the rats of the cooling rack as how big you want your pieces. Then just cut all the way across then turn the rack 90° to cut the other way.

@Woody @DavidGoldfield @darrell73 Oh, I get that if there is a qwerty version of the notetaker but what about if you have the Perkins style keyboard for the notetaker. How would this be accomplished once NVDA gets shut down and there’s no control+alt+J to bring up jaws?

@Woody @DavidGoldfield @darrell73 How would this work? Would Vispero finally have dedicated key commands for the Humanware displays like they do with the focus or are they gonna be the same? As well, if we would turn off NVDA to bring up jaws, how would we be able to bring up a second screen reader after turning off the first one if the braille display would need to have some type of screen reader in order to navigate windows?

@DavidGoldfield However, with Seeing AI is free, PicciBot if you already have a subscription, you are good, but with scribe me, if you wanted to take full benefit of scribe me on Meta then you will have to be paying a subscription. So the glasses aren’t gonna give it to you and it’s a low price, but then you have a subscription to go along with your Aira subscription. Now you have two services that you need to be subscribed to intake full benefit with the glasses

It looks as Sao Mai Center for the Blind has done it again. The same Vietnamese blind center who brought SMB Music Reader and the free option of an accessible braille transcribing software has now released a free eReader for Android and Windows. Just downloaded the .exe file and will be trying it in the next few weeks. By the description, it may replace QRead for me. Specially since QRead hasn't been updated for years now.Providing the links in the next message.

On my way back home after visiting Vegas for the second time since my very first visit to Vegas in 2019.

@amy0223 Can’t say much about Guide since I really haven’t activated it. It gives you seven day free trial. However, viewpoint uses a free key from Gemini, which is easy to obtain. Let me know if you’re interested and I will share the website where you can learn more about it, or download the program directly.
