Re: Reading pdfs with confidence

Again, qread takes care of all these problems, and is much more doable than pdf.

Lots of times pdf files will have all the words run together without spaces, but qread separates all the words. Sharon

Re: Scripts for JFW and Dragon?
Mich Verrier
I also herd that getting jaws and Dragon to work together can be a real bitch. As others have said it does work but it is very hard. I herd like others have said that you need some sort of a bridge program like j say or something to bridge between jaws and dragon. I have never used jaws and dragon but did look into it years ago around a deckade or more ago. From Mich.

I understand that it appears that Dictation Bridge for JAWS is a product, but it does not in fact work. Lucy Greko, one of those who spearheaded the project, confirmed this when I met year last year. The project ran out of funding, and development was still necessary for the JAWS version. I think some people can use it, experienced users, but it is not for everybody as the project intended.

From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of David Goldfield
Hi. A free version of Dictation Bridge is also available for JAWS. Hartgen Consultancy has two solutions for using JAWS with Dragon. J-Dictate is for people who want to use Dragon for dictation into programs such as Word, Outlook, etc., who are comfortable or able to use their computer keyboard. J-Say not only allows for voice dictation but it allows a user to completely control their computer with all commands, both for Windows as well as for JAWS. The programs from Hartgen Consultancy are specific to JAWS whereas Dictation Bridge has a separate addon for NVDA.

Purchase qread and read pdfs using that. It works way better than Adobe.

Re: duck duck go browser
I've been using DuckDuckGo for years, and I have it installed as my default search engine on every browser I use. In the Chromium-based browsers, I also have the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension installed.
To my knowledge, there is no DuckDuckGo Browser for the PC platform. They have introduced one for Android, though: DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser for Android. All of the sites talking about using this for Windows end up talking about using an Android Emulator to run it, which is way more trouble than it's worth since. In the PC world, it's a search engine and/or browser extension, but not a full-blown web browser. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
