Thanks, David.  Now all I need is to know how to use them.  Some people are really good with them.  I can open them on the desktop, but not on the m.facebook page, where I might want to play with them.  Any place that teaches that sort of foolish stuff?

Hi, Maria.

Pressing the Windows key along with either the period or the semicolon key invokes the emoji panel, at least with Windows 10 build 1909. I don't understand why Microsoft uses both key combinations.

In the event that someone is using Leasey, which is a third party piece of software to add functionality to JAWS, you can press the Leasey key followed by shift-ctrl-E which brings up an easy to navigate list of emoji characters.

Subject: Re: Accessible System Backup Image software, (WAS) the latest update to jaws 2020 giving me a fit

Tom,

           There are a number of options.   I am going to qualify what follows with:  I am only interested in accessibility with regard to taking the backup, not doing the recovery.  I have been in a long recent discussion about this and there is nothing short of "extreme geek measures" I am not willing to take, and I doubt most would be able to take, to make a recovery process accessible.  Screen readers run under operating systems, and during a recovery you do not actually have a full-blown Windows instance running.  That's what you're trying to recover.  I fully expect that if recovery is necessary a sighted assistant will be as well.  If anyone can present a backup and recovery suite that is fully accessible, on both ends, even if it's just for taking a system image and later recovering it, I'm all ears.  So far no one has.

            Macrium Reflect Free is not 100% accessible, but it is entirely accessible for setting up a system image recovery then using that setup on-demand to take the actual image.  For myself, I always do a full system image, as those are the fastest to recover from.  You need to take (as you said you do) user data backups between your full system image backups if you're generating enough new files that you'd want to commit hara-kiri were you to lose them and/or have to do the work to re-create them.

Using Macrium Reflect Free with a Screen Reader

Good morning.
I do not think what you wrote about ownership of QB and Quicken is correct.

QuickBooks is owned by Intuit.
It is focused for the business marketplace.

Quicken, was bought by an equity group a couple of  years ago, is owned by Quicken, or whatever they call themselves.
I believe it is still highly compatible with QB.
I use Quicken, with sighted assistance at times, and it is fine for my situation.

HTH,
Ken

I don't know that you would want Quickbooks - it's made by Adobe Systems, the same folks who make Quicken. QB is for small businesses and probably costs more than Quicken.


Why not try googling for the APHB product Money Talks. It sounds like it would meet your needs.

Jenni, here's the solution that might be what you're looking for:

Money Talks is a completely accessible bank account management

software package developed by American Printing House (APH). This

software package offers the user a simple and effective means of

recording and maintaining accurate information for a variety of

accounts. The user can import and use electronic banking information

to reconcile accounts, remember the last workspace used in the

program, emboss or print the check register in a variety of formats,

and print many types of bank checks. Can be used with a screen reader or with its own self-voicing feature.

Quickbooks can do what you want, although you do need scripts from

myblindspot.com and its not perfect, even then, but it should work,

and although I have not used it, the online version is supposed to be

more accessible.

I have said, again and again, on multiple venues:  Most issues are idiosyncratic to the machine on which they are occurring.

I've been in the computer business since the 1980s, and when any given piece of software has a bug (be it major or minor) this appears on virtually every machine on which it is installed.  I say virtually because it depends on the end user doing something that invokes the actual buggy code; if they don't, everything will look perfect for them.

But most people are simply not willing to accept that there is very likely something wrong at their end.  And this is all the more true when uncharacteristic behaviors keep repeating themselves.
