Good thing I have slow reflexes. I hadn't started yet, and now I deleted the thing. It won't be me getting somebody else in trouble. I can do that for myself. Don

Out of stupidity, I gave you all a link I wasn't supposed to. I thought it was already common knowledge. Please do not, I repeat, do not download anything off there as it could get someone in

Not saying where I got this but: http://files.freedomscientific.com/beta/JAWS/lM14/JAWS13.0.071_PrivateBeta.htm

Peter, there's nothing stopping you or others with not as much money from getting Abby Finereader or some other OCR program menat for the general computer user, not specifically designed for blind

Since when does FS care about giving its customers a break? Why would FS want to charge, say, $1500 for a program that combines the best features of JAWS and Open Book into a single package, when

The OCR function in JAWS 13 is a way to get at that graphical text in programs. It isn't a document reader. It will grab small bits of text that you can actually interact with such as that flash

Yes but it would save those who don't already have it a hell of a lot of money if it's any good and there are always new assistive technology users coming along.. Peter

George, If the new JAWS 13 feature reads graphical text on your computer screen, as it appears to do from John Martin's description of it interacting with a setup program, then it won't be competing

John, I don't think the OCR function means much to many of us who have OpenBook or Kurzweil. George R. Marshall marshall.geoma4@...

Dear Friends, I too also want to unsubscribe from this list, and I am finding it very dificult. The link you provided did not work. Any other ideas? Thank you in advance With Best

Thank you kindly but I have tried all the obvious/given links to unsubscribe and they have not worked!

Exactly! My key stroke command is about as ridiculous as the hundreds of "Please unsubscribe me!" emails I've gotten from this one list. And that Google search idea sounds like what I need! LOL It

Hi Chris, I'm quite familiar with the quick navigation keys and use them all the time. My question was really about those desktop gadgets; I understand that they can get you weather info, sports, news

I must add that I share your frustration. It would be nice if we could visually skim a screen of information, using nothing more than its layout to help us find what we are looking for. That would be

Nononono, what we definitely do not need is more hand holding! Give people a single keystroke, and then it'll be "but my keyboard is different. where do I find this keystroke?"

Well, what functions do we have to help us skim through web pages? I'm thinking of things like the quick keys to jump by heading,, list, etc. that might help. The find command seems appropriate here
