Hi list: 

I want to try my hand at some digital modes. 
I've downloaded the latest version of Digipan and want to run it with Window Eyes V 6. 
Are there any basic settings to configure to get started? How do I decode strings of text? 
In most cases, perfect english most likely won't be sent so I'm guessing I'll have to set the screen reader to say each letter of the scrolling text to understand what's being sent. 
As well, I'm looking for a free, blind friendly on screen CW decoder. I have one now which seems to work but buggy and maybe I'll have to configure my window eyes to announce every letter for the CW to make sense.  
Please don't suggest the brain as a CW decoder as I got from another list! (HI) In my opinion, CW is another digital mode and with technology the way it is now, why struggle? 
Maybe the logging software should be thrown away to and we go back to pen and paper or braillers! (HIHIHI)
