Re: Good accessible Word to PDF primer

I know what you mean. I’ll never forget the first one I tried. Thank goodness it was only a free trial version; it created files in computer language, suitable for printing!

Ted, While MS-Word has been able to "save as PDF" since even before 2013, I'm curious as to whether 2013 and later actually maintain what are essentially edit box form fields in an MS-Word document in the PDF created from it? I've never been impressed with Microsoft's "Save as PDF" capabilities in earlier versions of Word simply because the PDFs they create are routinely much larger files than other converters create, with no obvious difference in the end result.

Do you have scripts for Dragon that you can share? Thanks, Dennis
It is always encouraging to read that something one does every day cannot be done. I have used Dragon Naturally Speaking for years. With a little help with the set-up, Dragon Naturally Speaking works pretty well. It works better with one of the middleware packages, but if one works in a large corporation or where data security is a priority, the middleware products are a huge pain and often conflict. So, one may indeed use Dragon Naturally Speaking without a middleware product. Trying to install and train on your own, however, is a challenge. Is it worth the effort? Until version 11.5, I would have said “NO.” The benefits just were not there. Dragon made too many mistakes. For versions after 11.5, however, the recognition is so good that it is definitely worth the effort, particularly if you create a great deal of original text.

Re: Reading math using JAWS

Does it show up as "math content"? if so, try hitting enter on it and

waiting for the math viewer to appear. In math viewer you can use left and right to move between elements at the current level, down to drill into the current element and up to return to the prior level. If it does not show as "math content" I'm not sure what you would do.

no apparent reason. It happened the first time when I was doing a horrendously big transcription job for a company. They'd sent me over 80 files to do in a dropbox we'd set up. I panicked, thinking I'd lost over 80 files, and set about recopying them. I even (stupidly) wrote the product manager to see if they had disappeared from his dropbox as well, which, of course, they hadn't. Then, the next day, Jaws listed the correct number of files. Gudrun

Hi David and Brian,

If you type "Speaker" in the Windows 10 search box I have to arrow down 3 times to find "Adjust system volume" if I type "Speakers" with an "s" at the end it's only twice. I can, of course, type "Adjust System" and then I'm directly on Adjust System Volume. But I also like David's method of typing "Sndvol" followed by enter at the run command or to set up a shortcut with hot key for it.
