My Habel one will no longer type in the passcode field to open up my phone,
Whoaaaaaa
Can you tell me which button you are using to navigate the phone to find the app?
1 wonders if the WeWALK two will actually appear. When ordering mine I was told delivery would be sometime in June, that’s now been changed to sometime in October. I now here it’s the end of October. Let’s hope it does appear as I’ve already paid for mine. Great presentation, but I would advise anybody to delay ordering until the thing is actually available.
What embossers would you recommend to use with DBT software version 12.5
How can I get that device here in United States?
😊
😊
😊
I cme to this video hoping to get some guidance with using jaws only to find a person talkin about how he's using the system with no explanation of what he is doing or how he is doing it. Hey guy - I'M BLIND! Listening to you navigate the system without explanation or instruction does not help me.
Wow! Recently lost the majority of my eyesight and only a week ago just got a new laptop, so this is wonderful to hear 😅
Sounds amazing & as a cane user I can’t wait to try this out in Milton Keynes
Don’t. It is a scam.
😊
This is fantastic with one exception, for us that aren’t quite up to speed with Jaws. We do not know the key command you are pressing, to manipulate your laptop. Just a sidenote for your next video.
You could've just made one video I See more than that from you on this program…
You never showed tools the tools tab… Why not?
please share presentation link for research purpose
I have got my wee walk, lovely device. Unfortunately, the handle is very loose at the top. The device is not secure. Any suggestions, I came to the theory that the elastic is stopping the wee walk handle screwing down securely. It seems to wobble quite a bit. This is not good, any help. Kind regards, Brian
Hello! My name is Jean Sauveur NIYORUMURI ( Teacher of Special Needs Education in Teacher Training College) this is very interesting session on how to use Focus 14 Blue. i have challenge on how to write braille using this Equipment , save it and open it. Thank you
Hi, after watching your videos and other trainings that I got, now I am good at using this sophisticated equipment.
The title has a mistake, it says jaws 2023 instead of jaws 2024.
Thank you very much! This is really easy to understand.
Hello, do you jave any tutorial showing how Jaws can be used to enter data in an Erp?
Interested
FAR FETCHING OUT!!! ZoonText pretty much selves the 85 year old eyes problem. Thabks.
Came across this video again so I'll mention that I did email them about re-adding True Voice to Zoomtext and the response I got was nothing but an email saying they got my suggestion. Personally I have no faith in this company when it comes to the blind, all they've done is introduced a crappy new synthesizer that's hard on the ears while taking away True voice that can only be used with Zoomtext 10. I know money talks but I wish that at least one software company gave a damn about the blind.
It's a revolution
Is it possible to selectively use the jaws screen reader to read specific portions of the screen and not the whole screen?
That computer talks wayyy too fast. Can you slow it down?
Oh I like how do you teach this program, how to connect with you by email because I am a new learner of this program
Useful information in this short video. What type of stylus are you using?
Thank you for this overview of the Mercury 13! I will be sharing it with a student as a resource.
I'm currently trying to track down a charger for one of these machines as we've had one donated but without a power suply. Hopefully I can get one and start using with the help of this video x
Hello bro, Are u looking for a professional and attractive thumbnail designer?
greetings to all my friends who are blind worldwide. I am Savenaca, i am using Jaws as my screen reader, using jaws could be a better things for us person who are currently disable, or visually impairment. Jaws has really my best program for browsing, and hacking qr codes of various wifi networks.
yes. hi. my name is Savenaca Waqabaca, I am from Fiji, from the beautiful island of Delaimakotu Moce Lau. I am using JAWS as my hacker program, to hack any available wifi network.
Hello what version of Zoomtext for Windows 10 do you recommend me and is it any portable version of it? thanks.
So where is the instructions for the OMNIREADER to retrieve a document, book etc from a USB drive?, how is this done, and what format does it really use?, You also showed how to retrieve a scanned document, but you did not demonstrate how to SAVE it.. however, not interested in that at this time, only interested in retrieving our Documents/files which have been saved onto our USB drive FROM the computer...... where do I go to find this info?.
How to activate jaws?
How on earth did this video get approved? An advert related to world sight day which excludes the very people it’s aimed!! For goodness sake describe the content
great webinar.
Congrats Eric best on retirement
Thanks for all your hard work! 📌
Hi I am legally blind and I use jaws and for some reason I cannot remember how to change my font size??
because you are not a professional user of Jaws
How do you lift the large one properly? Where do I hold it?
I am using jaws 2021. I am using down arrow key and jaws not reading placeholder text in input field. But it reads by using tab key. Do u know why its not reading placeholder text with arrow key?
I’m new at braille, and voiceover. Got my Hable One via RNIB and loved the ease of pairing it and that the buttons mimic the braille cell. On the Perkins I kept getting muddled trying to work out the “dot positions” within the braille cell.
I'm looking for some help. I was given a Freedom Scientific Topaz CCTV with a flat-screen monitor but I can't find a manual for it. Mine has buttons instead of dials. From left to right I have: a yellow brightness button, next is an orange button with what looks like a pencil icon to me, then we have the magnification dial with the button for the red centering light underneath, next is the mode button, and finally the power button. I can't figure out what the pencil icon button is supposed to do. None of the manuals I have found match the model I have and It is not listed on the Freedom Scientific website.
Hi there how can I save from the Braille Sense to a usb please? thank you
You would have to select the USB drive. By default, it saves on the flash disk. Type braille sense tutorial for more instructions. Hope this helps.
This is fantastic. I really love this webinar.
How can I join this please?
This was so helpful. My organization just switched to teams but I have been dreading it. Now I feel I can use this baby. Microsoft really walks the walk when it comes to accessibility.
