Who is using aladdin out there with speech? I would like to know
if there is anyway to get aladdin to write to the bios. It writes
to the screen, and you have to read the screen by going down a
line at a time instead of it automatically talking to you.

I asked a similar question a day or two ago.
I am a long time genie user, and I downloaded Aladdin because they
touted it as being for everyone, but I guess that they forgot that there
are persons who are disabled. Strange sence they have a disabilities
board, or section.
One would think that they would be aware of the fact that there are
disabled persons using there network.
I did leave them a letter about the problems with Aladdin, it will be
interesting to see what they say.

Hi Walter,
I use Vocal Eyes and ECHO-PC with ALADDIN. I am very
happy with the way it works. I have windows set to
read messages when I use the right arrow. Page down reads
the next pages if the message is longer than one
page. When replying the system has line wrap and
control right and left move one word and speak very
well. I have sent you a message on GENIE.

Yep, and that is what I am doing now. It sure would have been nice not to have to look for what lines to monitor, but I had to give in and do just that. I don't know if you have ever been on Genie, but I am not sure I want to stay on there. Maybe after I learn my way around, but I am still lost on there.

Hi Walter,
I know what you are talking about when you say the ALADDIN
system is trying to get all of the messages. When you
first down load the system it is set to get all the
messages from ALADDIN and IBM. This is very bad
because the IBM area is not a STAR Service. Yes,
it would cost a little money if you leave the defaults.
You need to use F6 and update the pass 1 options to
spaces. The only area I get all the messages from is
the Disability round table. After you get ALADDIN
setup it is very nice.
I got your message on GENIE and sent you a reply.

Walter, about using GEnie. You might try capturing the menus in a capture
file. Then memorize the commands you might use most frequently (of which
there are only a very few) then go into expert mode, without menus. I've
found out that helps a great deal.
If you like, you can leave me a note if you need any help. The address
is: o.sosa1.

Well, I have removed the IBM rt from my aladdin, and have fixed the
aladdin so it does not go way back, I put the genie rt in it's
place. I haven't been back on yet, because now I am trying to read
what I have. I had to quit last night, and so it will be a mess
when I go back to reading since aladdin does not keep track what I
read, since I had to exit it. I don't like this feature. I don't
know if I am going to keep genie after this month, because I just
don't have time to read that many messages at one time after I
finish reading my messages from the fido echoes. I just don't know
if it will be worth it to me. I have to the 9th of next month to
make up my mind.

TB> The trouble I have had with the last three lines is that the
TB> cursor movement keys are displayed as graphic symbols.
TB> I need to read graphic symbols to determine the action of the key.
I found out that last night. I have a local fellow helping me, and
he showed me about those graphic symbols. With jaws, you can read
the asci code for the symbol, and I can with the jaws dictionary,
make those symbols say what I want.
TB> Yes, I down loaded the ALADDIN manual. It is an option on the
TB> ALADDIN roundtable menu. Just type alad
TB> at a GENIE prompt then pick the options to down load the documentation.
I also now have my aladdin configured to download the manual the
next time I log on to genie which will be sometime today.
