    It is amazing to me how well you speak and understand English, in spite of the fact (as you stated) that there is no one in your city who speaks English.

      Hi Aaron,
      I've sent you 2 e-mails these days. One from that one I used to sent you letters, and from my another address which I prefer more now over the first one.
      I've noticed you stopped visiting Quora. Somehow I recall you from time to time. I hope you're fine and don't go to Quora because of its interface and questions you get.
      May I ask if you're fine?
      I'm having not the easiest time, but I'm rather okay. I found English courses and am truly happy about that, as I'm fond of the English language.
      Mike. You can call me this way.
      Please reply. Look in your spam folder etc.

    Notice he said He Does Not Need a Mouse?
    There's no point for it.
    If a piece of Windows software is written well enough, only the keyboard's needed.

    • @BlindLibrary
      @BlindLibrary 23 дня назад +1

      And I make that Massively Clear;
      Most software Is Not Totally Accessible Yet,
      meaning developers Need to See More Blind/Visually Impaired People using their software.
      That may give them the incentive to develop more a8e.

    a knob next to or on your keyboard to be able to speed up and rewind the voice would be a great addition to this software. I wouldn't be surprised if something like it didn't exist, at least with keyboard commands.

      @QuertyQw33n 2 года назад +2

      in the majority of screen readers, there are short cut keys to adjust the speed, volume, and pitch of the speech, as well as to go forward and backward through text add desired increments such as line, character, paragraph, and page,.

      On a laptop, most of us blind people on Windows use Edge/FireFox/Chrome/Chromium/Brave/Vivaldi.
      Once again, browser commands along with screen reader keystrokes pluck us along.

      @GusliMike  Год назад +1

      Excuse me, Sir Eden, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understand your premise, what you mean is that I have a bit of vision left, which led you to believe an ordinary printer would be of use for me?
