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.
The number to participate is
