ot me?

I didn't have much trouble with the site, in fact, I did place an order.
You just have to spend some time getting familiar with the site like any
other.

I want to explore the possibility of ordering groceries from Walmart.com. I
have the latest version of Jaws and a sighted friend says it doesn't look
doable with a screen reader to them. Is anyone using the regular part of
Walmart.com or the grocery.walmart.com section with positive results? When I
tried to navigate the sight, there did not seem to be any rhyme or reason
to things but I'm told visually it is laid out very clearly. Also, when I
tried to search Google for any tips, I got nowhere.

I ordered from Wal-mart. The site was wonderfully accessible. I received an acknowledgment of my order, and each time I added to the list I received an email confirming my additions. An hour before the scheduled delivery, Wal-mart canceled the order. The email said for 'operational reasons'.

I have used Shipt twice since then. the site isn't as good as Wal-Mart, but they have delivered.

If he is familiar with the screen reader used by the blind individual:  As is Eric Damery:  He could well know whether a site accommodates screen readers.  Or at least the one with which he is familiar.

You might already be doing this, but F6 moves you between panes, so say you’re in your table of values, like music and things. You can move to another pane, like who the artest and stuff is by pressing F6. If you press it repeatedly, you’re back in the table, and tab also works for this. Yet, with tab, you have to listen to JAWS say things like your volume, iTunes store, and a whole bunch of other checkboxes. CTRL will be your best friend if you wan to go to podcasts, movies, and/or books. Note that audiobooks is the only thing available in the books section, something like CTRL and 5 on the numer row. CTRL 4 gets you to youyr pocasts, 3 with CTRL gets you to TV shows, I think, and for movies, CTRL an 2.



Hi all,

 

I would appreciate some instructions on using iTunes with JAWS. I am using JAWS 2019 and the latest iTunes Version.

 

Thank you in advance,

Gezim

Walmart canceled the order?

It is stuff like that, between canceling orders, or having to go there and
get the stuff and wrangle the employees is why I have always been hesitant
to use Walmart.

I didn't know they delivered.

But, I guess they don't?

Maybe due to the accessibility, it is still worth a try.

Can you order parishables?

Justin

Here is the scale I purchased
3 years ago. It is heavy duty and accurate. I check it out whenever I have a doctors appointment and it is within a pound of the scale they use. It is expensive 78 dollars plus shipping but worth it and you will get a workout just lifting it from under the vanity in the bathroom, it weighs 6 and a half pounds. Tom

Hello all,



Please recommend a good quality, accurate bathroom scale that is easy for a blind person to use.



Many thanks.

When I just checked Outlook was checked and I don’t recall ever doing this so it may very well be included in search by default.

On the other hand, I noticed that my Local Drive was unchecked, not sure why this is, but I did check it and when I check file types like Word, TXT and so on they all had content included by default.

We have outlook already installed. How would we make it a part of the windows search?

Control Panel, Indexing Options, Modify Button.  In the Indexed Locations dialog that comes up, in the top section entitled Change selected locations, is a list of locations with a checkbox for each.  If you arrow down through that list on a system that has Outlook installed, one of those should be Microsoft Outlook.  Check it, then navigate to and activate the OK button.  You'll be back at the Indexing Options dialog.

After that I would also recommend rebuilding the index immediately.  You do this by activating the Advanced button then in the Advanced Options dialog navigating to the Rebuild button and activating it.  You will then get a warning dialog that the rebuild can take a long time to complete (which is true) and that your search results will be incomplete until it does with an OK or Cancel option.  You'll OK it.  In my case it took seconds because I had not changed anything to be indexed, but when you add locations it will toss out the entire existing index and rebuild it from scratch.  You need not do this if you don't want to, as it will eventually occur "naturally" but I like to force it so that I know it has completed and I can expect that the new location(s) I've added to the index should now show up when I do a Windows Search.
