[Electronics-Talk] 2-in-one's

Sun May 7 16:56:02 UTC 2017

I wish Serotek would support the touch gestures, but I at least have NVDA as
well to use.  I have a Surface Pro 4, and I think that is about the best
$1100 I have spent.  Much more stable than this HP I also have.  I have not
used it as a tablet yet, but the Surface is great, and the capability is
nice to have if the keyboard would decide to break to be able to use it as a
tablet.

In Windows, the gestures are supported by the screen reader, such as JAWS or
NVDA.
