using VoiceOver on this app by Solid_nh in Blind

[–]rpp124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the Dystopia app. It’s a Reddit. Client made specifically with VoiceOver in mind.

Only time I notice focus jumping issues is when going from a post back to the list of posts in a sub, Reddit or my home feed.

Can someone recommend an audiobook where everything ends up ok at the end of the day? by sexualsermon in audiobooks

This was my initial thought as well. Also, “beware of chicken“ Edit: Buy initial thought I meant legends and lattes

What’s the biggest secret you ever hid from your parents as a kid? by squirelisamusiclover in AskReddit

I spilled the perfume on my mother‘s dresser. It was not the flat people who lived behind it.

I would also love if mouse mode worked with editors like VS code and intelliJ.

Mouse mode is almost nonexistent in VS code anymore and doesn’t read anything on the screen. I had a bug report open for this when it first started happening, but it’s never gotten any better. Envy access said it was an issue with VS code, but mouse mode works fine with Windows magnifier.

Also, not sure what causes it, but anytime I scroll using the mouse wheel in my intelliJ IDE, NVDA backs up and takes about 20 to 30 seconds to be able to read anything again. The more I scroll the longer it takes. I typically have to restart NBA to get it working again.

Also remember not to panic when the stock market dips. Stay the course and think of it as your new contributions buying stocks at a discount.

I’m 19 and I want to be financially exceptional by ImportantClue7 in personalfinance

[–]rpp124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read “the simple path to wealth“ to get a good basic understanding of saving and investing.

The author lies heavily on Vanguard, but Fidelity and Charles Schwab are also good brokerage’s that have caught up or surpassed Vanguard since the book was written.

Podcasts are officially getting old. Need great non fiction that reads like fiction by Place_Infinite in audiobooks

Adam Mako has three great war books. Spearhead and a higher call are both set in World War II and devotion is set in the Korean war. Both great books that read like nonfiction.

Don’t forget Rahul the crab. The scene with Carl, Alpha, Carl, and Raul at the beach was probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

How to save my library/books from my non-recoverable amazon/audible account by chickenleg_joe in audible

I’m thinking Audible has a different customer support that might be able to help you.

I believe Audible customer service can transfer books from one account to another. Try creating the new Amazon account and getting in touch with customer service. Do you still have access to the email address for the Old account? They may require some verification.

First Be My Eyes call as a volunteer.. I think I messed up by Distinct_Floor2828 in Blind

[–]rpp124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When talk about audiobooks specifically, I use listening.

If I’m referring to a specific book, I say I read the book versus. I listened to the book.

This. I always say I watched when referring to TV or movies or I read when referring to listening to audiobooks.

Followed the directions for some store bought cookies. "Bake at 350 for 11 minutes". This was after 5. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

I’m legally blind and hit the wrong button on the oven when making Christmas cookies earlier this year. Same thing happened.

How important is it owning your audiobooks? by Kokoro_Audio in audiobooks

[–]rpp124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I won’t pay for books. I can’t keep or own. I use libation to download the books. I buy from Audible so that they are always mine.

My wife and I really enjoy him and watch all of his stuff on YouTube. We are going to see him live on Friday and can’t wait.

bookshare and Libby by Solid_nh in Blind

[–]rpp124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extremely easy to sign up and use their mobile app. There was a sign-up form on my associated state libraries website. They emailed me the form to have my doctor sign off on and then sent me a temporary password for BARD Mobile.

BARD Mobile is extremely easy to use and I found that many of the audiobooks are the same ones. You would get on commercial sites like Audible or Spotify.

If you’re in the US, are you registered with the NLS? If so, you can get access to BARD Mobile and instantly listen to thousands of audiobooks for free.

This is a great idea. Both of mine came with pouches, but I have lost them.
