[gui-talk] Next Phone Meeting/February 24/Philadelphia Computer Users' Group for the Blind and Visually Impaired

[David Goldfield]

Philadelphia Computer Users' Group for the Blind and Visually Impaired


Our next phone meeting is scheduled for Friday, February 24 at 8:00 PM 
Eastern time.

Possible topics we could talk about are:

1. NVDA 2017.1 is now available as a release candidate and the final 
version could be out by the time of our meeting. It offers, among other 
things, improved support for Microsoft Edge as well as amazing support 
for the Kindle app. I'd be curious as to whether anybody has worked with 
this new version. I haven't worked with it using Edge yet but I'm quite 
impressed with how it works with version 1.19 of the Kindle app.
2. MAGic 14 and Zoomtext 11 have been released and I'd love to hear from 
anybody who has worked with these new versions.
3. Now that most TV providers are releasing accessible versions of their 
products, I'd also love to hear from anybody who has been working with 
products from companies such as Dish, Directv, Verizon Fios, Tivo, 
Spectrum  and similar products.
4. A new version of the NVDA Remote addon was released with Braille 
support. I'd be curious as to whether people have used this addon, 
particularly with Braille displays.
5. LibreOffice, the free office suite, released version 5.3 this month. 
I'm very curious as to whether anybody has used this set of programs and 
how well it performs with your screen reader of choice.

Beside these possibilities, any topic is welcome, whether it's about 
Windows, iOS or Android, JAWS or VoiceOver, it's all fine. Favorite 
apps, newly discovered ones, let's talk about it.
