I am = using the=20 Firefox browser which is supported in later versions of JAWS and = Window-Eyes=20 and I use a plug-in called Webvisum. This plug-in logs you into a = website=20 and can read the captia and give you the results. It actually reads = the=20 visual captia and places it on your screen and in the Windows = Clipboard, so=20 all you have to do is highlight the edit field and paste in the = information=20 with Control + V. I realize that this involves a learning curve and some significant=20 adjustments. But so far, since I had been using firefox already and = since=20 installation of the plug-in is not very difficult, it has never failed = me on=20 a page requiring a visual captia. You can obtain firefox at http://www.mozilla.com and Webvisum at=20 http://www.webvisum.com. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Richard Fiorello" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 12:10 PM Subject: off topic computer issue Hi; I recently received a e-mail from my son asking that I join face-book = so I would be on his friends list. Well I tried but it asks you to enter a password that apparently shows up as a graphic. They graciously offer = a link that supposedly speaks the info you need to enter. Apparently = they intentionally distort the audio so it can't be picked up with speech recognition software. Either I have a hearing problem or it is just = about unintelligible. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I haven't = played with yahoo much but I was left with the idea that they do something = similar. Is there any solution? As for the Braille note and other note takers, I doubt you can put = echo link on any of them which is a bit unfortunate. I suspect the same = holds true with logging software. I'm not so interested in echo link but it = would be nice to use a notetaker to run a logging program.
