vista

Right now I’m sitting on the floor sitting on a beanbag doing my Spanish homework and playing around with Microsoft narator and speaking using speech recognition. I have a keyboard sitting in front of me in case I get lost, so far I have spent the majority of my time on my keyboard which I am familiar with. Speech recognition is not terribly great but it is good enough that I can remember what I was saying and correct it later by reading over the text that seems to be similar to my train of thought. Windows media player is exceedingly inaccessible (Microsoft speech recognition transcribes us as unacceptable I thought that was fitting) I could not have used it with out the mouse, I am glad my hands are getting better. I Press ALT in Microsoft word 2007 beta and I find that narrator does not list the hot keys, this makes it so that I don’t know what letters I could press, this increase’s the learning curve because I have to go in and listen to the listing of the window again by pressing control shifts space which often does not work. It is also very time consuming.
Flip three D obviously is pointless without a display so I don’t see why windows is unable to set the hockey for alt tab to window key tab which is closer together and therefore easier on small hands. I think it’s just that Microsoft was being lazy or “trying to keep up with those deadlines” as one might say.
The drivers are still very scary crash prone and halting at random. There are other issues that make windows vista completely unacceptable for consumer use, for instance, I have windows set up so that my computer goes into sleep mode when I Press the power button, today I pressed the power button and my computer restarted. Of course losing all my work.
Back to Spanish.
Just trying to save this ,of course in word, word crashes. Luckily it recovered my work.
