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.

Hi, Debian is talking/working for us for years. Boot the debian disk. Then wait until you hear beeps or just wait a few seconds on a virtual machine. then hit s and then enter. then speakup should come up talking.

I don't have any extra physical boxes here to try either server edition out on. Thanks. Dave.

Accessible project management tools.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

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.

W2k19 no sound with screen reader and sound blaster
by Anatoliy Shudrya 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

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

Hi, I am looking into password managers and wonder if anyone has found 1 to be accessible. I am trying out Dashlane because we have free licenses through our cyber insurance but it does not seem to be accessible. Thanks. ###
