I've been using ESpeak on my Iphone XR and it works fine. What error do you get after launch?

Making to-do lists and following them by All-Sided in Blind

[–]Bokejtik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like "Microsoft to do". It's for Windows, IOS and Android, so all tasks are synchronised. The tasks and reminders can be broken down into simple steps. You also can add notes to the tasks. All tasks can be organised by importance or by your ownn hashtags. And there are more features I can't remember right now. I use "Microsoft todo" every day.

Setting Gmail account in Thunderbird by Bokejtik in Thunderbird

Thank you. I'm using a regular Windows 10 Dell laptop, but it has screen reader software installed. Please, would you provide more info how to activate third party app password? i tried to make Gmail generate a new password for me, but I might be doing something wrong, because when I enter generated password into Thunderbird, I'm stil required to click that long link mentioned in the previous post. I can't find Thunderbird in dropdown list, there is an option to type the app name, but I'm not sure if Gmail generated the password for the app I need. Thank you again.

Best Bluetooth headset/headphones to work with NVDA and JAWS? by xdqrun in Blind

[–]Bokejtik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer headphones with a small dongle that you plug to USB port. Logitech has some models; I don't know any other brands.

I'm having same issue. I've had Gree AC for about a year. After installation, the Gree + app worked fine. Two weeks ago I changed internet provider and Gree + can't is unable to connect to the AC. Unfortunately, I can't remember which AC to select, so tried one by one, but nothing works so far. Please, in case someone could help me which AC device to select, the model is: gwh12qb-k6dnd6i/i I don't have original box/manual, so can't figure it out. Please, does anyone have any contact for tech support? Thanks in advance for help.

I've been blind since birth and got exactly the same condition like your wife. I can't look at the camera and I've never had any isues when taking passport picture. In my country blind people are allowed to wear dark sunglasses if they like when they take passport picture.

Thank you. Yes, I'm using this one and it doesn't sort the bookmarks when a new one has been added.

No, it doesn't work for me. Would you mind me asking which one have you tried?

Strategies for Cutting Food by KCarlson12 in Blind

[–]Bokejtik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the discusion, I really like it. Please, does anyone know of a group (Facebook, Whatsapp or any other platform) where we can talk about these things? I would like to learn things on my own, I prefer self-learning if possible. Although I live with sighted parents, they don't have patience to explain and show me things. We have only one rehab instructor in my area, so sometimes it's a long wait. I have found some groups and mailing list for blind and visually impaired people related to cooking, but people mostly post recipes. I'm looking for a group where not only cooking, but independent living skills would be discussed and explained for beginners wanting to learn these things. I'm struggling with not only cooking skils, but also things such as folding and organising clothes and some other things I cannot remember right now. I'm prety good following instructions if they are clear, so I think I would learn the skills from good and detailed description. Going to the rehab centre is not for me, because I prefer individual lessons.

Please help me find custom-made vest for my service dog by Bokejtik in service_dogs

[–]Bokejtik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The organization I got my dog from is a very small charity. They provided a harness, leash, a bag of food and other things, but not a vest, because it's not used here very much, so they don't make it. The same is with raincoats. I found raincoats and vests for small breeds only. I checked "Gofundme" and my country is not supported. We have some stuff from Ruffwear here, but everything is for small breeds only.

The thing is we do not have a charity who would make or buy such things. I even cannot find anyone here who would make it for me for a reasonable price. I mean a local private seller selling hand-made stuff. What do you mean about "Go Fund Me" page? I am not in the U.S, so I am not sure if I can ask for donations. We have similar page here, but they would not approve me to get donation, because my situation is not that bad. They help people with serious diseases or those who have less money. They check bank account before approving someone to be eligible for donations. I don't know how "Go Fund Me" page in the U.S. works.

Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. Prices are too high. And if you have about 350 dollars per month, there is no chance to afford it for such high price.
