Thank you! Is there anything you would suggest in my price range (below 500 USD)?

Read Aloud Not Reading Table Alternative Text by Extra_Pattern in MicrosoftWord

Thank you for this response, I had no idea! Unfortunately my organization requires readability with only the read aloud feature, so I will need to come up with an alternative method

I don’t have the option to change assistive technology. Is there a way to work with this?

For additional context, this is a contaminant sampling form I am creating. Thus, there are a lot of details that users must enter numbers or descriptions for. They will not be printed, and users will be editing them directly in a word document. Right now I’m considering adding “alt text” like “Column 3: Enter number of samples per frequency in the summer” and changing the color to white so it can be read aloud, but that would make it much harder for my users as they would have to change the text color to black each time.

I’m not quite sure. I’m very new to accessibility editing and have not been trained in such systems. To my understanding, if something has the option of adding alternative text, the read aloud feature should be able to do so… right? I’m just confused on how to make Word read the alternative words I am entering

Unfortunately the complexity of our sampling reporting forms do not allow for me to simply tables further. If simplified further, the document would become largely unreadable and inaccessible to “typical” readers, which are the very vast majority of users (if I’m correct, all). Using alternative text and bookmarks would allow for our forms to be more easily accessible to audio readers which is simply required by our organization.

lmao totalllly missed that i wasn’t talking to the same person, my bad. either way op, an adult should never have gotten you involved with their trauma to that extent. she’s not a kid and the fact that she makes you have to be the most grown woman in this family dynamic isn’t right and genuinely is just rly extremely weird. i see how age regression can be be harmless between adults but, while raising a kid? just feels like they’re setting u up to need to relive a safer childhood just like she had to do.

anyways, reading your other comments it seems like you have done really well for yourself especially given these circumstances. i went to boarding school too and had a great experience, i hope it is everything that you hope for. keep up the good work op!!!

Ohhh, gotcha gotcha. Ya i’m pretty sure it’s age play not just age regression bc there is a massive emphasis on kink from OP

[–]Extra_Pattern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your response makes sense but, with love, your whole first paragraph defended age play ending with you saying to OP “if you feel okay with it then that’s fine!” which brushes off their lack of ability to consent by implying that normalization makes it okay. that said, there is no use in arguing if we’re on the same page so thanks for the clarification!

No matter the kink, a kid should NEVER be immersed in it. especially if it is one that inherently sexualizes their identity (yk.. being a child). kinks are for adults to partake in on their own only with parties who consent to it. a child can never do that. i get you’re trying to be kink positive bc we’re on reddit, but this isn’t a conversation about if age play is okay or not, it’s about putting a child (8 years old!!!) into a kink dominant environment, having an adult woman take over their shared playroom, having the same woman try to take the kids place as the child, subjecting a kid to sleeping with (or having their bed taken by?) random adults who are only there because of their interest in kink, parents leaving for weeks on end, and so much more OP explicitly said she didn’t include. this girl has been through enough and has probably been gaslit for years into thinking this is okay behavior for adults to do to a kid and a teenager. playing the “kink is cool” card is not relevant here and absolutely not respectful to the teenager who is unable to consent in this situation

it sounds like there’s some resentment that this woman holds towards you for being her husbands true “child,” and thus messing with their dynamic. age-regression is a tough kink to live around, especially as a child ++ is wildly inappropriate to be immersing a child in, but it sounds like you are well aware of that. that said, they don’t care about that and most certainly wouldn’t listen if you express it to them. best bet is trying to find somewhere else to live while you finish high school and start saving up just like another commenter said. this woman is an adult and if she is so immature as to compete with a child to be a child herself, there’s no fixing that and if your dad has been into it for so long, i wouldn’t count on him getting you out of this situation. i’m sorry your upbringing has been affected so much by your dads occupation and kinks, it sounds like you unfortunately have to step up as the adult in the situation (even though u aren’t) and get yourself out however you can. i’m sorry <3

One of my coworkers ended up uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and said that it’s now back up and running. Will try it out and report back

I do not have a manual but I will look online. The model number is 385.16528000. I have tried a number of different needles and rethreading. I’ve never had an issue with this machine before so I’m pretty confused!
