[access-uk] Re: Decent accessible RSS client?

Thanks Steve. I'll have to play around with trying to label the graphics in 
jaws. Another question, I added some feeds manually. I can see that in system 
tray I get updates (pop up balloons) when there are new updates, which is good. 
However I only get updates from one feed I added. Of course it could be that 
there  was no updates in the rest of them so far, but do I have to do anything 
to make sure that all the feeds I manually added are selected to be included 
when news allowed checks for updates, or are all the feeds I add included by 
default? If I go to feeds I can see the list of feeds I added, but is there 
anything I need to do to make sure that the client retrieves the updates from 
all of them?

  Hi Vanja,

  The treeview is awkward, I ended up labelling the checked and unchecked 
graphics with Window-Eyes.

  Yes, you can set the update time to 15, 30, 45 and 60 minute intervals.  I 
then go down the treeview to the feed I want read the articles, and control-w 
on the articles I want to read manually, and the text comes up in an edit 
window.  So you don't have to use the Aloud bit at all.

  All the best

  Steve

  Hi Steve. I have downloaded news allowed. I don't particularly care that it 
speaks the articles as that's not really something I'm interested in. Instant 
updates would be nice, but it's not essential if that's the only way that 
client can do it.

  A few things I'm unsure about hta client though. First, the treview with 
different rss feeds that are already set as default is weird as it doesn't seem 
to let you what is checked and what is not. I'm not interested in that, I'm 
just interested in adding my own feeds and being able to either be instantly 
updated when new articles are available or at least be able to manually check 
when that's the case. Like I said before, IE is supposed to notify when going 
through the list of feeds when new articles are available by putting the word 
new next to the feed, but for whatever reason this is not happening in a lot of 
my feeds. Sure I could check every feed to see if there are new updates, but 
that sort of defeats the purpose.

  I have noticed that you can add feeds to News allowed and I have added 
several feeds. If I go to list of feeds I see that they are all there. I assume 
that all these feeds that I added will be updated and if any retrieved 
automatically? If that is the case, then this client could be useful.

    Hi Vanja,

    NewsAloud from http://www.nextup.com.  If you want auto updates, it can 
automatically read them aloud to you when they get updated.

    All the best

    Steve

    I'm sure this has been mentioned thousands of times on here, but as always 
when not really needed I haven't really paid much attention about the 
information provided.

    I'm more in to RSS feeds now. I know that IE7 has RSS capability, but there 
are several things I don't like about it.
    1. IE does not pop up notifications when new feeds are available 
automatically, you have to manually go in to list of feeds and check if there 
are new updates in feeds that you have subscribed to. I understand there are 
clients who notify you as soon as a feed is updated?
    2. I understand that IE is meant to indicate when going through list of 
feeds if a particular feed is updated. Mine doesn't seem to do it. I know for a 
fact that there was a new update to one of my feeds that I have subscribed to 
that I haven't read yet, but IE didn't indicate that.

    So in conclusion, is there a reasonably accessible RSS client that will 
notify me as soon as a feed has updated? Also is there a way to export all my 
current feeds that I have subscribed to in IE to another client and if so how? 
Thanks in advance for your help.
