Re: Full size wireless keyboard
Tony
Several on this list use the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.
It weighs a couple of pounds but has everything you are asking for. It also has 6 programable keys down the left. They come programmed as f1 – f6 and require sight to change them.
Standard numpad, 6-pack and arrow keys with space between the groups
The two AA alkaline batteries are still strong after more than a year. My hands are starting to have problems and I find I can type faster and more accurately on this keyboard than on a standard membrain keyboard.

My old logitechI believe was a K320. I checked out the K780 but am looking for standard layout for the six pack and arrow keys. The K800 seems to fit most criteria as far as I can tell except it is rechargeable and does not accept replaceable alkaline batteries. Frequent charging is not ideal especially when alkaline batteries often last 2 years or more. Amazingly, it does not appear that Logitech makes a truly standard full-size keyboard with num pad that accepts batteries. Was hoping someone knew of another brand/model that they liked.

Re: Full size wireless keyboard
Logitech does make the G613 Lightspeed mechanical wireless gaming keyboard, it is truly full-size with Windows keys on both sides as well as an application key, numeric pad and the 6-pack as well as volume control and media keys. It can connect to 1 device via VBluetooth and also comes with a USB dongle. It’s heavy and big, but a pretty decent keyboard.

I believe that even Office 2019 licenses are appearing on the grey market now, though Office 2016 has a number of years of support still ahead of it.

Re: Free screen reader Spreadsheet Program
Hi Morey,
I assume you are in the US? Can you afford $69.99 a year or $6.99 a month? If you can you could subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal, formerly known as Office 365 Personal. This allows you to download the full Office suite to your computer including Excel, Word, Outlook, Power Point etc. In addition you also get 1 Tb of OneDrive cloud storage. You can buy this from the Microsoft Store at the following link:
Buy Microsoft 365 Personal- Microsoft Store
Best regards, Sieghard

So, when you invoke the, Insert + spacebar, then
press the letter, O , then pressing the letter, A , your HP scanner isn't in the

Hi Pastor Gil,
Here's another option to use for scanning files. I more
often than not get better scans scanning this way.
How to scan files using a scanning device with the Jaws OCR
feature. Steps are below. This will only work with JAWS2018 and
newer.
1. Place whatever you want scanned with the OCR feature on your scanner. 2. Press the JAWS Key + Spacebar, then, O, for OCR, and press, A , for acquire. 3. Choose the scanner from the, Scanner & Camera combobox pop-up, tab to the, Acquire button, press the spacebar, and the scanner will scan the file using the Jaws OCR feature. It will then read it to you. This is GREAT! Note: The shortcut keystroke to acquire is, Alt + Q. To save the file you can export it to Excel or, after scanning select all the text with, Control + A, press, Control + C, to copy to the clipboard, then paste the text, Control + V, into a text or Word file and save. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet. ----- Original Message -----

I am coming late to this thread but for me personally I have used the free Webbie based Accessible RSS Reader for years available from I think from memory the Accessible Suite of applications at www.webbie.org.uk. It has none of the bells and whistles of some modern RSS Readers regarding device synching but I still love its simplicity and ease of use with Jaws and NVDA. Auto refresh of Feeds was also turned off years ago to increase its stability but this is also not a problem as manual refresh is built into loading the feed articles. S . The application has 2 columns. You cursor down your list of RSS Feeds in one column. Press control R on any Feed and this will, as well as quickly refreshing the feed instantly jump you into the list of available articles from that feed in the adjacent column. Cursor down and on each article you will hear an automatic preview of the first few lines of each article which will indicate whether you want to hear the whole article. Press enter to load the web page referred to in that feed in your browser for the full article. Close the web page to return to the RSS Reader. Press escape in RSS Reader to return from the Article list to the main RSS Feed list. Then you simply start over. Cursor down to your next feed or use first letter navigation to find the feed you want. On your next feed press Control R to Refresh and again jump into the next article list revealed and start anew in article reading. Very simple to use and I would be lost without it. David Griffith
