Hello, Is there a way to get 8.1 installed with speech? I'm needing to do it on a physical drive not a virtual machine to test an issue with VMware. Thanks. Dave.

Does NV Access have registered charitable status anywhere? I was thinking of drafting a letter seeking donations and sending it to a friend of mine who is high up in one of the banks here in Canada, and also to a friend who does coaching for large businesses. i.e. the only two really wealthy people I can think of. But, either of them would probably only donate if they could get a tax receit for it. At 06:39 AM 3/11/2015, you wrote: >Hi, > >I've also donated.

HIPPA, high trust, and accessibility
by Ryan Shugart 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi all: I may be moving jobs soon, a Windows systems engineer at a regional health care provider. My current environment is unregulated, so the only security practices we follow, for better or worse, are our own. Obviously since this new environment would be a health care provider, they have HIPPA and high trust and other compliance things to worry about. My question to you, has this posed any accessibility challenges and how did you work around them, AKA making adaptive technology work in such a restricted environment? We’re talking screen readers here specifically. Thanks. Ryan
