Eve,
Were you yelling, or was your caps lock just on?

Hey Eve
Check out NVDA which is a FREE screen reader. I am pretty but
not
100%sure it will read Open Office.
Also, are you in a position to get help from your local State
agency?

Barbara, I can not write in Braille as I do not have a Braille
writer and
my arthritis does not allow me to do much with a slate and
style. Thanks
for the suggestion though. Also, it is not the computer voice
that gets to
me. It is that I do not have Word which is a good program. I
have Open
Office which does not read through. I have to arrow down and
for some
reason it keeps adding line numbers in its dictation. Also if I
get too
low
without scrolling, it rereads a past line. Annoying, but at
least I have a
computer so I deal with it. I do like to complain though. haha

Eve,
Do you know braille? I suggest writing your poems out in braille
on
paper.
That way you can read back yourself and see the line breaks for
stanzas
and
punctuation. You're right the computer voice can never do
poetry right.
If
I read poems with it, what I do is read through once straight
through.
Then, I read stanza by stanza. The key to do this is the
paragraph
keystroke, control down arrow.
This still interrupts the
flow, but at least you can sort of see the poem structure then.

Ashley, I agree with your comment about poetry and screen
readers. I
figured it was just that I am not as profficient a screen reader
reader
as
some. I dont know, it just does not flow. I notice this with
my own
poetry
as well and have a difficult time with it as I cannot enlarge it
enough
for
me to be able to read visually and I do not like the way the
computer
reads
it. That is one reason I do not generally share poetry or
comment on
poetry. If anyone has suggestions around this I would
appreciate it. I
try
to get a human t read for me at times to better hear flow, but
you need a
good reader for that also. Not all people know how to read
poetry or
verse.

Brad,
Good luck with your career change. I hope you are happy and
successful
in
something new. I haven't started my first job as I just
finished
undergrad
school a few years ago. But I want to use my writing skills
where ever I
go; something in outreach or communications would be great
although I
likely will be an admin assistant first.

That's a good prompt, to draw emotion. I'd love
to do it but I'm really crunched for time at the
moment working on a career change. The best I can
do to make anyone cry is for you to follow these instructions:
1. Reach in your pantry.
2. Grab an onion
3. Grab a knife.
4. You know the rest :)
Sorry to chince out.

How about if you write something that will make us cry or
something
about
a time when you cried. Since spring is coming and most of the
country
experiences lots of rain in spring, I thought maybe we could
make rain
pour
forth from ourselves or remember a time when it did. If you
don’t
like
this idea, come up with another for us instead. Barbara Poetry
