Stephen, Thanks for your tips. Ik work already with Jaws14 and I have a Jaws professional version. Jaws 14 supports windows 8, and so does NVDA I have to find out the quality of support. If not sufficient for me, I'll choose win 7. Yours. Martien. ----- Original Message ----- From: STEPHEN HILTON To: blind-chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 9:08 PM Subject: [blind-chess] Re: A question for NVDA users Martien, I would suggest you avoid Windows 8 at all costs. You would have to upgrade Jaws to Jaws 14 for one thing. Even then that would depend on which version of Windows 8 you install. If it is standard then, regular jaws 14 will be enough, but if it is windows 8 pro, then Jaws 14 will have to be pro as well.

I do not know about a braille tutorial. Did you use the help function in the NVDA menu? Yours.

In the old system I was able to make the speech spell out phonetically by a double press on the number 5 when in the reply to sender mode. Does anyone know how this is done with NVDA? My computer is working on Windows 7 And I email with windows live mail. And, a second question: Does anyone know of a braille vertion of the NVDA tutorial? Best of luck to all from a still fairly sunny England. Our best summer for a few years. Stan
