Outlook and multiple inboxes
by Anatoliy Shudrya 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Hello Everyone, Something has changed in the recent outlook or JAWS updates. I am having difficult time switching between different inboxes in outlook. Usually, I would add all my 4-5 inboxes to the favorites, use shift tab and quickly go through all my inboxes with error keys and tab. Now it seems like I am missing something, I must use F6 several times to navigate to inbox, use error keys to navigate up to favorites folder, select desired inbox, and then use tab to end up in the inbox. Way too many steps. Not only that, now the outlook doesn't start automatically in the favorites folder like it was several month ago. How do you quickly switch between multiple inboxes in outlook? I know there is control y command. It doesn't seem to speed up the process, still way too many steps to jump between multiple inboxes. Any suggestions? Thanks Anatoliy

Efficient IP now fully accessible.

Version 7.1 of Efficient IP will now be fully accessible. The company have worked with me for the past few weeks applying Aria to all tables, check boxes, navigation controls, form elements and other UI components that weren't quite accessible. IF you are in the market for a fantastic IPam solution, I highly recommend this company. I have been using their products for four years now. Version 6 was reasonably accessible. Version 5 was less so but Version 6, after an initial few days where they completely through the rule book out the window, is fantastic.

Skype screen sharing question
by Christian 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi all, This may be a little off topic, but I was just wondering if anyone has used the screen sharing feature in Skype? The reason I am asking is because a sighted person is going to look at my screen but I do not need to have control over his computer and he was wondering if I could use this feature. I have used Teamviewer but not this. So do you have any experience with this or do you recommend something else? Many thanks, Christian

VSphere.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hello, Is there anyone on this list working with VSphere or dabbling from time to time? I'm still using the installed client but that is fast being removed. Last time I looked at the HTML5 interface, it wasn't great. So I'm wondering if there have been any improvements and / or is there anyone engaging with VMware? I don't have any contacts with VMware at the moment. So I cant push any questions any further than standard support channels. Please don't recommend power shell as an administration tool, this isn't currently viable for my needs. Thanks Darragh

Remote desktop gateway role accessibility.

I had a bright idea earlier to install the remote desktop gateway on Windows 2016. But it doesn't appear that the web UI is accessible. Jaws simply can't read anything in that interface. Has anyone encountered this?

Hi Billy, I haven't tried the server editions of Ubuntu but if they work like their debian versions you can hit s when the disk boots. then speakup should come up talking. Debian installations work very well and i have done those a few times. though i left most settings at their standards. You would need to have your server physically in front of you and you need a head phone jack there. But you can also connect a braille display to it and use the install that way. brltty comes up automatically and should detect your display.

Hello, I'm looking for a project management tool and I'm hoping someone here might have a suggestion. MS Project isn't a viable option at the moment. Required features: * Add contributors from within and outside this organization. * Standard fields such as task name, dependency, assigned to, start date, end date, total time, complete. * Add notes to tasks. * Highlight tasks assigned to the user. * Must be fully accessible. * Preferably web based. Any ideas? Thanks Darragh

Normally it should work. Though it might be getting some conflicts when multiple people try to save the file. But that's a windows problem in general i guess. There is also an android app that seems to be pretty accessible. so you could drop the database on dropbox or google drive and might access it from there. though i don't know if that would work.

Hello Everyone, I am building ProLiant DL server with Windows server 2019, desktop experience setup. Everything went good so far until I started installing screen reader software. I have installed sound blaster sound card into the server, installed drivers and can hear windows sounds when working in desktop, but when screen reader software installed such JAWS or NVDA, there is no screen reader talking. Both screen readers installed but do not work with Sound blaster Audigy FX. Screen readers work with different portable USB sound card. Any ideas what am I missing? Audio service should be on as I hear desktop sounds no problem. Anatoliy

Affirmative action forms
by Samuel Barnes 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

When filling out job applications I often come across affirmative action or diversity forms that you must fill out in order to complete the application. These include sections relating to disability. The dropdown menus usually include an "I decline to answer" option, but you can't just leave it blank. I feel like this is forcing me to shoot myself in the foot in terms of my chances of getting an interview. Here's why: If I explicitly indicate that I have a disability, they won't consider me. Yeah yeah I know the standard response: "But discrimination is illegal, and they're incentivized to hire disabled people." There's zero chance of me proving I wasn't considered due to my disability vs any other reasons a candidate is filtered out. As for incentives. If they're going to hire a disabled person, they'll hire a book keeper in a wheelchair or something else where the disability has absolutely no effect on how the person does their job. If I say that I don't have a disability than I've lied on the job application, and it'll be obvious when I walk into the interview with a dog. If I say "I decline to answer" (this isn't the same as leaving the field blank, you usually can't continue until all fields are filled.) then I feel like not only will they know I have a disability, but I have one that I want to hide from potential employers. No able bodied person is going to decline to answer the question. There's no downside for them to say they don't have a disability. I've had four interviews in the last two months. Two of them went very badly. One was for a night shift at an NOC where the guy flat out told me I couldn't do the job. The other one crashed and burned because they wanted someone with a drivers license. (that's a frustratingly common requirement for these MSP and K-12 school jobs). Another interview was super short. They asked me a few boilerplate tech questions that anyone with an A+ could answer, and that was pretty much it. I don't think it was even 15 minutes. Sorry this turned into kind of a rant, but I wanted your opinion on these affirmative action forms. Am I crazy for thinking this?
