Happy new year everybody! Hope you all had a good one.

I was wondering if any JAWS users have come into contact with a

program called EasyWorship. It's a program my church is using to access lyrics for church services and I believe you can also access recordings of the songs as well. I think the lyrics are, or can be translated into, powerpoints or into Word.

As I'm not confident with checking out a new program with no

prior knowledge of its interface, I thought I'd ask on this list first if anyone else has had success using this program. I've been told that you can use keyboard shortcuts to control it, but I'm not sure whether this is for everything or not. It certainly would be an invaluable source of worship material for me, if it is accessible. I've also been advised that, if it's accessible, the church can register me as a user, so I won't have to pay for it.

Would really appreciate any helpful feedback.

Cheers!

Good afternoon, is there a way to stop chrome from hounding a person to make the browser the default?

one of my client's is trying out chrome, but he wants to keep internet as the default browser. every time he opens chrome he's prompted to make chrome the default browser.

thanks for the help.

Of course David is,

Take care.  Go Rams!

I guess after reading all of these replies we have to keep pushing on as REO Speed wagon says.

 

Interestingly enough or maybe not Pen State is not too far from here, although geographically I am a little closer to the university of Pittsburgh. I am also a former client of Blindness and visual services. In fact they paid for my computer education.

 

Thank you all for your encouragement.

You’re doing a wonderful job, Ovr, and  blind and visual services of Pennsylvania, Penn State university, Arcadia University, I understand university of Pennsylvania. Have all pretty much referenced a recommended your list.

So you’ve got the attention of a lot of pretty powerful universities  just in Pennsylvania. Probably all over the country  as well.  Keep it up

Well it looks like we are embarking on the 14th year of running this list. For the most part things have gone well and the guys are still interested in keeping this thing going.

 

It seems that it does serve a purpose so we will plow on ahead and give 2019 a shot. Besides we don't want anymore death threats like what happened when we shutdown the blind computing list some years ago.

 

No I am not making that up, but the credibility of the person was sadly lacking to be sure. No I don't recall who it was, or care for that matter.

 

Never the less until the call of retirement becomes too strong to ignore things will proceed with business as usual.

Hi,
I can't recommend windows 10 enough. It does have its issues (what doesn't these days) but windows 7 is going to be gone by 2021, I think. And most new computers come with windows 10. Downgrading is only asking, if not begging, for countless incompatibilities with modern drivers.

Never thought of that re control panel – windows 10 still has a control panel, which looks like control panel, and a settings app, which doesn’t. Thankfully starting with jAWS 2018, the settings app is no longer sluggish and almost unbearable to use with this screen-reader.

Anyway, yeah, Windows 10 is really fine, despite the constant “work in progress” nature, which I admit is a little irritating some of the time. I would certainly encourage people to leave Windows 7 behind if you are getting a new computer, as support will be phased out in a couple of years or so, and  your system should last longer than that – may as well start ahead instead of behind the curve.

what do you have against windows10? and whatever you do just stay away from windows8. windows10 works great. it is like a combination of windows xp and windows7. i really like the windows10 settings application because it reminds me of the old windows xp control panel layout kind of.

I am using jaws 18 and windows ten.

Unfortunately, the Dell laptop I have doesn't have a keyboard command to
turn off the touchpad.  It's graphical in nature, so, while solving a
tech support problem remotely, I had the support rep remotely turn it
off.  Seems that every time Microsoft updates Windows 10, they turn the
touchpad back on.  very annoying.--Matthew Chao

Hi, at first I also had issues with the touch pad. Then I found a way to

turn
it back on quite quickly.

Early on when Windows became accessible, I had an Acer. However, I
didn't
like it because it had a touchpad that made the cursor go all over the
place
when I hit uit with my thumbs. I believe it was call the TravelMate.
Since
then, I look for laptops with both touchpad and eraserhead/pointing
device,
as I can disable the touchpad. Just my thoughts.--Matthew Chao

Hi, what laptops to look for in Australia. Are ssd�s more expensive
and what�s the biggest ssd I could get and not have to blow a lot of

money.

Well looking probably for a Lenovo. Toshiba does not make any consumer
laptops or sells them any more. Only business machines which start
from about $2,200 and can go all the way up to $5,000. And my brother
purchased a acer for about $2,000, he has a business and also a gamer.
So would be looking for the fast chipset, best audio, screen does not
matter, as totally blind, do have 8 gb, but seems to struggle, and
would like 16 or 32 gb, and a 1 tb hard disk, probably cannot do that
for a ssd, and maybe lookin at about $1,000 or $1200.

Marvin.
