Hi
How easy is it to write on one of these blogs using speech?
I would enjoy creating a blog?
thanks

hello; well, it depends on which platform you use and what screen reader you have. i use wordpress and a mac with voiceover. i can post new articles directly to the wordpress site, but i find it much easier using a third party ap called mars edit for the mac. and its like a lot of things when you are blind it will undoubtedly frustrate you in the beginning. i'm by no means an expert, but let me know if i can help. take care, max

Hello from Austin Texas.
I know nothing about how to write a blog using verbal commands. I've been
blogging a long time, however, and I'm glad to help in other matters.

Hi Kevin,
This group has had no activity until your message came through and I, too, forgot about it.  I'll reintroduce myself.  I don't have vision problems but my father has AMD so I'm always on the lookout for better ways of doing things that might help him out.  Kevin, have you ever used Twitter?  I ran into a Kevin there, too.  I use Mac's, have published a few apps for iPhone and like to invent stuff.  I'm trying to get my dad to use his television for Skype'ing.  The problem is that Skype is buried under layers of menu's that he can't seem to navigate to.  So was thinking of buying a smart remote that I can program to do all of the menu navigation in one click.  Anyone figure out a better way to Skype?

Allen

Hi Kevin and welcome to the group! I hope you like it here. I myself
have had blogs on a few different platforms. I wasn't too terribly
satisfied with the ones I had in the past, but I have finally found 2
that I really like. One is the blogging platform that is part of the
System Access Mobile Network, and the other is My Diary. These both
seem to work great with System Access and NVDA. Just click on the link
in my signature.

Hi Allen
 
Skype is a thelephoning solution, so off-topic for this list. But I use gwconnect on my desktop pc. You can find this programm on  https://www.gwmicro.com/catalog/gw_connect/ perhaps you'll have to switch the language.
 
Hope this helps?
 
Best, Katty

Thanks for the heads up Katty.  I was not familiar with list etiquette regarding on or off topic discussions.  Sorry, everyone.  I have a blog.  Actually, I have several blogs which I started but only actively keep up with two, one is for Macular Degeneration and the other is for random ideas that I have.  They aren't ready for public viewing yet.  I use Wordpress to host the blog.  They do a very good job of providing all of the tools one would need for a well written blog. There are several tens of thousands of users there. Regards,  Allen

No problems. I hope, the gwconnect can help your father with his skype issues?

Well twitter doesn't seem to be verry accessible.  As a programmer I like inventing as well.  Skype takes a bit of getting used to.
