My mistake. I thought JPEG/JPG and TIF/TIFF were raster whilst BMP, GIF and PNG are vector. I know Kurzweil 1000 can only deal with I think raster formats as all OCR software but not vector. It does not recognise PNG and that is why I thought it was a vector format. Now it has me wondering.

For what is RFE an abbreviation? I read it countless times in the change log and still do not understand.f

I already submitted my feedback and Gabriel Weinberg replied. I have accessibility issues with the JavaScript version.

I will stay on the safe side and leave things as they are although I will read that guide for a little opinion-based possible education. The nice thing about Windows 7 is you can remove [not completely delete] non-used features such as Internet Explorer, Windows Media Centre and Player, DVD Maker , ...

The only graphic I find which are not part of imagemap links is the one called Now It Has Come To This at http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/so_it_has_come_to_this.png. Interestingly it is a lossless image [TIF/TIFF and PNG are lossless but the latter is vector whereas the formers are raster].

I never compared the manner in which the synthesiser speaks numbers to how a human would so that is correct. Now that you mention it I do recall that from the brief chemistry stint I had during my schooling. By the way, you made a minor error when linking; I think you forgot the r. When you correct ...

(Split as O/T from this thread . -- Tom T.) The dragon-related warning and check box was in about:config ; apologies for the ambiguity. Those hidden results of boredom can accumulate in time and reduce performance I would think. How did you rid of all but 900 MB? Can I do that with Windows 7? I hav...

There is only one single entity employed who is blind. Marco Zehe is his name and he is based in Germany. He used to work for Freedom Scientific, the company who develops JAWS. I contact him often but as a downside of open-source software there is nobody who I can contact directly who will really ac...

Correct, they are buttons and the HTML code clearly depicts those as such. I also discern buttons from links because JAWS has different navigation keys: r for radio buttons, b for buttons and f for form fields which includes all types of boxes, buttons and editable fields. Adding Shift moves backwar...

Yes, yes it did. It did not sound right to me for a minute.

I did not know that. I thought HTML and JavaScript were the only ways. I thought CSS was only for visual styling and could not create activatable elements. I strongly hate buttons or anything else created in JavaScript to say the utmost least. If anything everything should be coded in HTML even if t...

I always thought the GUI is so straightforward. In that case the entire add-on should be documented which would make it a full-fledged no-holds-barred help system. I think it would be fascinating if F1 activated compiled HTML documents in add-ons like it does Password Safe for example. I never heard...

Incidentally, I meant to reply somewhere where you cited Microsoft's extensive commitment to accessibility. I have been a Microsoft-basher for many years, but I agree that this is one area in which they are to be commended. Being a global technology company, with gross revenues in 2011 of almost 70...

Thanks for making me understand the colloquialism. Do people see what they call buttons are at times technically links or does the on-screen presentation not alert them to such things? I saw that styling code. I thought all those pages ended with .css.

I read the FAQ, Features and Change Log pages from top to bottom which really makes no logical sense for the latter for obvious reasons. There is also that [NS] thread explaining about 13 of the settings and I think your mention of a CHM file which I would read from start to finish. I have have alwa...
