[nfbcs] K NFB reader on android

Mon Jun 12 14:10:34 UTC 2017

Please keep us posted on how that works. The thing I like about KNFB reader is that it is simple, and has a large button for taking the picture.

>> JAWS is horrible with Windows 10 and I think that everyone who has bought a JAWS license needs to demand that these issues be fixed.  Windows 10 is going on being out for two years.  NVDA works way, way better.
>> Unfortunately, though, NVDA does not work as well as JAWS with development tools like Visual Studio, leaving JAWS the only option for most people on this list I imagine.

>> Kathy,
>> 
>> I am having a good deal of trouble with JAWS 18 and to a lesser degree 17 with focus issues.  The most common problem is JAWS loosing focus.  However, often I am finding that the information on a web page is incomplete even if I wait a while until I ALT-TAB out and back into the window.  I have also found that turning the virtual cursor off and back on with JAWS KEY and Z will sometimes improve things.  Having recently moved from Window-Eyes to JAWS, I may not be understanding everything I need to regarding JAWS, but I am finding a lot with which to be frustrated even while finding some good things.
