Solve : The trouble with accessibility options.?

Answer»

Do you ALSO have the trouble with accessibility options?
About 14 years AGO I had normal vision and was proficient in computer programming and other skills. Losing my sight in one eye has made me unable to drive a car not use a computer without some additional tools.
Windows has a magnifier. Let me shew you why it is of limited help.

Please view the image at normal size. Do you see what I mean? The font for the error message bis a mediocre system font that is very hard to read for anybody. Blow it up with the magnifier and it looks like garbage. The image is from Windows XP on a laptop screen at 1280 by 768.

Also, notice that this is from a program that is OFTEN sold to people with low vision or poor typing skills. Manly, Dragon Naturally Speaking. You would think they would at least try a little harder ton improve on Microsoft by making error messages that make use of the fonts available in Windows.
To make matters worse. the same font is loused on the training exercise with not provision to use a better font and size. Which is inexcusable for a productivity program. So FAR, I have not been able to start using this version of Dragon Naturally Speaking.

It is version 11. I had version 10 before. I was hoping it would be an improvement. The training portion is the same as it was before. Which means I will have to print out and partially temporize the script before I can finish the training. that is no fun at all.

BTW. Windows 7 takes ALMOST no training. This is on my XP machine.

So then, What Accessibility tools do you use?
