Bericht über die Reha Fair 2016 in Marburg
Dieses Jahr fand wie üblich die inzwischen als Reha Fair getaufte Hilfsmittelausstellung in Marburg an der Blindenstudienanstalt statt. In den Jahren 1997 und 1998 berichtete ich auch über dieses Event, ein Blick in die fast 20 Jahre...

Fusion der Giganten: Freedom Scientific und Optelec werden eins
Diese Meldung geisterte vor einigen Wochen schon in einschlägigen Mailinglisten herum und erreichte mich auch als Händlerinformation aus Schwalmstadt. In der Nachricht heißt es, dass die beiden Branchengrößen Freedom Scientific und Optelec nun fusioniert seien und...

Does anyone have a quick fix for #JAWS in Microsoft #Teams chats reading chat replies out of order?
Whenever anyone replies to someone on my wife's work chat and she's moving through the messages, JAWS says "begin reference,", reads the original message, and then the reply.
She wants the reply first, then the original message afterward.
It's a 30 second job using NVDA's regular expression support in a speech dictionary with the application dictionary addon, of course.
How do other JAWS users cope on Teams in busy chats like this? If you have 3 or 4 replies to a message you end up having to suffer through the original message time and time again.

Many are collecting old tapes from the #jaws historical archives, cc @datajake1999
let's also bring up some cool old tapes from #nvda historical archives.
I know there's some monthly episodes done by @jcsteh with Mick as an official podcast of @NVAccess

@nolan @ppatel The workaround for something like this would be to make it so Amazon sellers can't list products that aren't accessible to screen readers. I am the first to admit that this is ideal. We need to start from this position and work backward to a solution. #Blind #Accessibility #ScreenReading #Jaws #NVDA #Voiceover

@amir @NVAccess To be fair to the #jaws Engineers and developers, this is the side effect of expecting #screenreader to come with bells and whissels. It's hard to maintain a screen reader, in general. When a feature or even a function is added, hundreds can break.

Ach ja: Heutiger #Posteingang 🦈

Ist er nicht geil?! 😁🥰

heavy #jaws users may want to play with this cool toy. It's a fork from another old add-on.

Dear #iOS dictation when I say "picture smart" as in the #Jaws For Windows feature #PictureSmart I mean say it with me now #PictureSmart not #PetSmart bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha. But I did laugh so there's that. Thanks for the laugh dictation.

@stevenscott @payown Yes! That would be nice for both #JAWS & #NVDA.

Diese Woche habe ich auch "Der weisse Hai" (#Jaws) von Peter Benchley gelesen.
Das hat durchgängig Spaß gemacht. Der #Film ist ziemlich nah am #Buch, das insofern auch recht eindrucksvolle, blutige Passagen aufweist. Eine Freude! 😄

In einem #MakingOf zum Film hörte ich, dass man den Zuschauern und den Figuren eine #Seitensprung-Episode des Buches ersparen wollte. Die ist dann der einzige Wermutstropfen des Lesevergnügens. Unglaublich #cringe geschrieben... Insofern auch eine Erfahrung 😅
