Devices like TVs are usually driven by Android, which can use open source software TTS engines, or if it is tied to Google, there are Google TTS engines that are all software. Glenn

I don't know the names but they are around. Just look at any smart TV like Samsung. Or The Amazon Fire stick, Roku and Apple TV's. They must use embedded TTS chips.

Chris, I haven't heard the software version, which others recommend, but I recall that it can be added to JAWS via the synthesizer and braille manager in utilities. If you find a source for it, I hope

Question regarding tts type engines... Are these or do you know of any that are able to be embedded into products being designed? Thank you, Rick

Glenn, doing a proposal is exactly what I will be working on. I try to rely less on others as much as possible. In fact, how to improve accessibility is what I always have in mind for the reasons you

Michael, Unfortunately this does not fix the problem. Although you apparently have considerate coworkers, they will think of you as the employee who sometimes needs help, and the more we rely on

Ari, I am very fortunate to be on a good team who is helpful, when things are not accessible. For today's meeting, I wound up dialing in by phone. My team did the rest of the visuals.

The Access 32 is a 32bit software version of DeckTalk. The link I gave proposed to have it. I am happy wi9th my synth or I would look into it further.

Unfortunately, unless something has changed, GTM is really not usable with JAWS. I missed an event I wanted to attend because of this. I couldn't even get into it or hear it. JAWS just seemed as if it

When my agency discovered that the cost was pretty much the same with Zoom Meeting as it was with Go To Meeting, they switched fairly quickly. I'd find out what their cost is for how many people, and

Now today it seems to want to work, but I guarantee the problem will occur again. I will try reinstalling to see if that solves the problem. -- Robbie J. Curtis essence64@... "Stay in

 I think all employers are always worried that a minority or disabled employee may file a complaint on such things, so even though you might not ever do such a thing, I think going to the boss and

NVDA uses an add-in that provides the Dectalk voices. If you can find where the voices come from, perhaps you can get them for Jaws as well. Glenn

Hi David, We have the ADA which states that companies are expected to use accessible IT, however, where I am, it seems that falls through the cracks. I am not sure if that is related to the undue

I was doing some work with West Ham and they tried to use go To Meeting which was totally inaccessible. In the end they just switched to using Team Viewer as an accessible form of screen sharing was

My take, nothing ventured nothing gained! You have nothing to lose by asking! Zoom is competitive if there is pricing and it’s just another tool to share screens and conference! In fact, greater

In practice, how hard is it to get an employer to switch to something more accessible? I get answers a lot on mailing lists that just say use something else when something is inaccessible, but you

Absolutely agree with you. Zoom if your company will do it is by far the best. Beets WebEx as well.

my agency used to use Go To Meeting. But, they discovered that Zoom Meeting was about the same price and completely accessible on any operating system. I'd encourage your boss to seriously consider

Thank you, but I need to be able to join from my PC with a screen reader, so I can share my screen during troubleshooting sessions, as part of my job in IT. We do things like log into servers and look
