the sad thing about all of this is that people need or seem to need to make judgements about others. why can't we all just help each other instead of insulting and degrading each other. i know this is getting off topic but i had to get in one last comment. go get 'em rose. don't let anyone tell you what is right or wrong to do. do what you gotta do lady.

Subject: RE: A DICEY QUESTION
I appreciate your put-down so very much! I may be a loser to you, and
in
some areas of my life but, I think I have a reasonable screen-reader.
I have been using computers since 1981, and for several of those years
I
worked and was productive using an Optacon to do all my computer work,
feeling that speech would slow me down. After I had deadlines to meet
and a
dead Optacon I discovered that the assumption that speech would slow me
down
was incorrect and in the nearly 30 years of computing I have used
several
screen-readers, some only to test, some for longer periods of time.
I also have an iPhone which had a learning curve but which I like, even
though I am not anywhere near a fast typist on it.
If you and others consider me a loser, then I guess you will just have
to do
that.
I have said all I need to say on the subject, so please do not make any
other comments for the sake of the list. I started to reply privately
and
decided others needed to see if they all consider me a loser because I
don't
like the voice NVDA used and due to family illness, a full-time job and
responsibilities dealing with things my husband usually had taken care
of if
I am a loser because I chose not to spend time on this at the time I
tried
to learn it. I have been stressed over the past couple of years but I
have
continued to work full time and manage, learning when I can, passing up
on
some things because I know I don't have enough hours in a day to
complete
them.
I am not planning on buying a MAC soon either, despite the fact that I
hear
a lot about how well it does many things, mostly because much as I'd
love to
do it, I can't buy every technology out there--my ideal job would
probably
be testing everything accessible out there but, that is not what is
paying
our bills.

I tried NVDA for about 20 minutes, the speech engine drove me crazy, and I
had problems finding help. I know not a long trial, and not fair but I
did
not have time to struggle to hear the voice that sounded unpleasant to me
and spend a lot of time learning how to use the program.

Karen, your suggestion would have more credibility if you'd answered
the questions about NVDA's possible limitations the last time you made
this claim. NVDA is a project to be applauded, and some listers say
they use it as a secondary speech program. I, for one, wish you'd
addressed the questions that listers asked you at the time.
