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
