  RE: https://fwoof.space/@Bri/116520911378404706 I had to chuckle.

  If anyone is interested, probably not, these are my most used apps I use under Windows discovered within the past few months. I use these now every day without fail. 1. 1Password. That is right up there. I have so much now stored in 1Password and not just passwords. I probably have my life in there! I can access everything in just a few seconds. 2. Fast-SM. For Mastodon, it's the best. It really is. 3. Fast-Play. It's playing audio right now and it's doing so for hours an...

  RE: https://fwoof.space/@Bri/116444798699991505 Exactly, I couldn't give a shit personally.

  I am in the BrailleNote Evolve webinar; it is just coming to an end. Apart from what the product can do, two things I picked up. First, there is going to be a product called JAWS for BrailleNote, essentially the same JAWS product but at a lower price. It can only be licensed and installed on the Evolve; you cannot transfer it to your own computer. Second, Remote Incident Manager is installed by default which is very helpful. I sent this below message by chat to the panelists. Message begins: Th...

  So recently I have been using Codex which is part of ChatGPT. There are similar tools available but I like this one. Although I've been using it for a short time, it is already making life easier. Codex is an app which a lot of people on X are talking about and really like. It is able to do a wide range of tasks. It can evaluate computer code, work with your Email if you give it permission to do so, and carry out other tasks for you. I am just learning about it but there are hundreds of...

  Morning everyone, coffee and the breakfast show as usual. It's been a good work week on the whole. A few bits of news. Evolve. I've just heard that the Keysoft element of Evolve will work with JAWS right away, so that's encouraging and I look forward to trying it. If it does work, I may well use it. I'll be attending Humanware's Webinar on 20 April. If for some reason events overtake me, I can always record it. Tweesecake. L still uses Tweesecake and the...

  Junk mail just received: the Tractor Supply are allocating you a combine harvester today. Where are the Wurzels when you need them?

  RE: https://allovertheplace.ca/@DavidGoldfield/116391078901262909 I've recommended this app to a number of people, particularly those who are unfamiliar with computing. They're very happy with it.

  Afternoon everyone. I hope you are having a good day. L had one of her better days yesterday which was excellent. The arm is healing nicely and lets hope for more good things to come. So yesterday I built a little app for our radio station. When the radio show has finished broadcasting, it is automatically uploaded to Mixcloud with the show name, description and track list, without me doing anything at all. Then it publishes itself. We're about to see whether this has worked or whether...

  A cool story I heard on Team-FM's news and transcribed by Leasey. And a visually impaired artist is believed to be taking on a world first by running a marathon using AI; Clark Reynolds, known as Braille Creative, Mr. Dot is set to run the Brighton Marathon with the help of Meta 8 eyeglasses. They are connected to an app which enlists volunteers across the world to support visually impaired people. The 45 year old from Portsmouth is running for the Fight for Sight Charity. Clark Reynolds...

  A new book celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Alan Parsons Project is soon to be released. It is only in hardback, so I've asked the publishers if they can provide me with a copy in electronic text, if I buy the book of course. Let's hope so. Otherwise I will buy the book and get it transcribed.

  For those interested about L, and thanks to those who are. I got to the hospital for 10 and we were back home just after 11, so that was pretty good. She has had a good afternoon, just getting used to being back home. She has some new equipment which I've got for her to make her life a little easier; still one or two things to get because this is going to be a long recovery. When Drew arrived to prepare our meal, she was able to get up and eat that which is a great improvement. So far,...

  Looking forward to the new update to the VR Stream as I use that player every day now. I wonder if it will speak the time correctly now when I ask for it? Seems to be some nice improvements in there. I especially like hearing it with my Bose speaker.

  I hope everyone is having a good day. It's been the usual busy work week with training and scripting for people in the most part. When I've had some spare time today, I've been updating our JAWS-based product the Muze with a whole stack of new features. The Muze is a radio broadcaster's tool that gives all kinds of music-based information. I'm very pleased with the way this is shaping up although I have a long way to go before I'm happy with it. Ot...

  Hi to all. I am posting this here because I know @lulu_bear would like me to keep people who care about her up-to-date. Yesterday afternoon, Lulu was taken quickly by ambulance to hospital. It is quite a distance away from where we live. She was having a lot of breathing difficulties and was dehydrated. We did try to keep the problem at bay but it wasn't possible, so I called the local Doctor who came out to see her. She went to hospital on his recommendation. She is now better than she...

  Thanks to all for your good wishes. I've just returned from going to the hospital and @lulu_bear is home now thank goodness.

  I've been testing Be My Eyes Workplace. It does an excellent job of ensuring PDF files are accessible. Every week I have a PDF sent to me which is extremely challenging. It is very difficult to understand the layout of it as the author hasn't used any kind of logical structure or markup. Be My Eyes Workplace has been the only app I have seen which got everything right first time. I can now understand it all, even without asking any supplementary questions. I've tried plen...
