Christopher 0:01 Hello, I'm Christopher and I'm the inventor and owner of speaking access. So the first thing you'll experience is the introduction, access introduction. Speaking Access 0:15 Thank you for giving me a try. Put simply, I was designed to help. I look forward to getting to know your voice. I would appreciate your patience, as it may take a couple of emails, or notes before I am used to your voice. Here are a few pointers to make our experience together better. Do not let another user use this voice profile, create another Windows user and set up this software there. This will create another speech profile for that user, you should be able to place two fingers between the microphone of your headset and your lips. When speaking to me do so as if you are reading a book to a child. A slight pause between each word is what allows me to serve you better. Remember that I am designed to work with NVDA screen reader. Please note, you do not have to yell at me. Just talk to me at a volume that is little less than room level conversation. If you get lost, just try to remember access hell NVDA 1:20 show notepad star demo to notepad shoulder pad. five reasons for access Word Pad window rich text window edit multi key blank to unlike select the three lines close, I would find selected below selected. Christopher 1:38 So what I'm trying to accomplish here is that I've got a list of things that when I first started inventing access that I that I wanted to accomplish, and this is the one this is the one I want to go over first, when you first come into access, speaking access, you will get a what's called the microphone test. And that is simply a way to train it. And it's mostly it's Microsoft's done it. they've improved their speech to text. The only thing I've done is spent a lot of time in studying the audio and the feedback issues you get. And so this is my this is the only Let's read the question. Hey, read selection to Speaking Access 2:21 unlike past versions of Windows, I would like it easier to train the computer to understand you. Christopher 2:27 Microphone test. Speaking Access 2:29 speak slower and pause slightly between each word. When I say go, Please repeat after me until I say stop. I will keep going even if you do not get it right. Ready? Go. South America, Christopher 2:44 South America. Speaking Access 2:47 Albert Einstein, Christopher 2:48 Albert Einstein. Speaking Access 2:52 December 4 1986, Christopher 2:55 December 4 1986. Speaking Access 3:00 numeral 1022 Christopher 3:02 numeral 1022. Speaking Access 3:07 Life is short. Live passionately. Period. Christopher 3:11 Life is short lived. Live passionately, period. Speaking Access 3:17 Stop, thank you. Main Menu loading. When in doubt, access help. For available commands, access menu, ready, up key five times. Christopher 3:33 down key one easy access to like line view lines flow or your select two lines below. Speaking Access 3:40 Two lines selected down. Christopher 3:43 Read selection. Speaking Access 3:45 One easy access to help if you get lost, or you're just a beginner. Christopher 3:51 So that's the thing. Second thing we want to do. Oh, I'll go back. I think I might be going and I think I'd be might be rushing in a little bit. So the last time what the last question number two was unlike password versions of Windows, I would like it easier to train the computer understand you. Well, that is that mic or testers? microphone test is the only thing you're going to have to do. When you come in every time you started. You'll go through that test. And that's it. So it's a lot easier than people who have experienced windows seven and the training that you go through a lot easier. So anyways, let's go back to the question. I'll try to slow down a little bit. Just kind of excited, I guess. Let's go back to the first question. Read selection. Speaking Access 4:44 One, easy access to help if you get lost or you're just a beginner. NVDA 4:52 Show access speaking access, access help. Speaking Access 4:57 You are in the main task area too. Access the main menu, please say the following access menu. For a lesson on how to use the menu just state how to use the menu for all of the available lessons, say access lesson plan. As you explore this program, it is suggested that you say access help as you enter each new area. For example, if you want to start dictating, you would say open post mode, then because it is your first time would say, access help, which will provide you with the basic information you need to start. Finally, please remember not to speak too quickly. main task area is now ready. Christopher 5:43 So each part of the inside the program like when you go into the dictating area, or the main task area, or the spelling or the menu, they will all have a help feature. So, if you get lost, because it's it isn't based on an audio program, you just say that command access help and it will. It'll basically report in. So let's go back and let's go back to the list, shall we? Show WordPad. NVDA 6:17 five reasons for access word, don't you? Like we're done with that question, easy access to help if you go on key four times just to begin, select five lines below. five lines down selected, read selection, select three. Speaking Access 6:33 It is difficult to remember the almost 400 shortcut keys to run a Windows computer. replace these shortcut keys with natural and easy to remember voice commands. Christopher 6:44 So I'll have to leave that one to you to decide if by the end of this video. If you feel that the window, the commands that we've created to replace shortcut keys like Ctrl copy all tab. We hope they're natural. So but you'll be the deciding decider in the end. So let's go to the next question. dunking length, select six lines blow Speaking Access 7:11 down six lines, select selection for put these voice commands in an organized and easily referenced menu that is instantly available without moving away from where you are and being able to execute the command from the menu. Christopher 7:27 Show notepad NVDA 7:29 star demo to notepad show it speaking access. Christopher 7:34 So what we're going to do is we'll go into the menu, and the first thing we'll do is ask for help. Okay, access menu Speaking Access 7:42 have loaded main menu. six items in list says Hope you are currently in the menu. For a lesson on how to use it say the following how to use the menu. Please remember, you do not have to wait for me to finish reading the entire menu. Once you hear what you want, be sure to interrupt me. For a list of the menu commands, please say the following menu commands. To exit the menu. Either speak the commands you are looking for. Or just state exit menu. To hear the loaded menu, just state access repeat menu. Now ready? Christopher 8:23 So that was just the help feature. And before we go into the blahblah of how it works, we'll just we'll just go find the command. I thought it'd be kind of fun access comes with a bunch of sound effects. Right. So let's go find the sound effects and and will trigger it okay. So um access repeat menu, Speaking Access 8:49 Main Menu. One speaking access commands speaking Christopher 8:53 access commands. Speaking Access 8:55 Now in speaking access commands, five items in list one commands to know to post mode commands. Three word box commands for access sound effects, Christopher 9:09 sound effects. Speaking Access 9:10 Now in access sound effects. three items in list one drumroll please. drumroll please. Christopher 9:21 So that's there you go. That's how it works. So you what command you're looking for you just say the menu, the access menu command, and then we'll go into the menu and while that's the way it did it, so let's just go over basically how it works. I'll go to the main menu again and have it read read out to you and describe to you what's going on okay. Access menu. Speaking Access 9:48 Now in main menu, six items in list. One speaking access commands to screen reader menu three lesson plan for accessing the internet, five, Windows email, six navigate my computer. Christopher 10:08 Okay, so you'll notice that when I'm saying the command or the the folder, the Yeah, the folder, the list that I want, I'm not saying the number, you're not supposed to say like, one speaking access commands, what that's designed to do is given a number so that it's easier to keep track of. But what the number is meant to do is if you want a description of what's in that folder, or a description of what's that what that command is, or, for example, say that we want to do. Description five, Speaking Access 10:43 whether you're sending an email, or trying to organize your mail folders, this is the place to go. Christopher 10:50 So if you want a description of the item that's in the menu, you just add the word, description, and then the number. So right now we want like there's a folder called, I don't want to save it, the folders navigate my computer. I'm going to save a number next to it, which is six, and add the word description. And that's it, we'll get answer what that is description six. Description six, Speaking Access 11:17 everything to do with navigating around your computer includes volume controls, moving around your desktop, and document commands like file and edit as an example. Christopher 11:30 So, and that answer with you, as you go through all the menu items, you'll if you're curious about what it is just a description with a number, and it'll answer as best as I can say what that is. So why don't we go over the menu command. So that gives you a good idea of what your controls are. So no matter what, when you are, pardon me, he knows, no matter where you are all in the menu, all you have to do is say menu commands, Speaking Access 12:03 have loaded menu commands, seven items in list, one access menu to go home. Three, go back for close menu, five, search menu, six access repeat menu, seven description number commands. Christopher 12:23 So as you can see quite a quite a Yeah. So if you want to go home, go home, Speaking Access 12:29 have loaded Main Menu, Christopher 12:31 accessing the internet. Speaking Access 12:33 Now in accessing the internet, three items in list go back, presently and Main Menu, six items in list, one speaking access commands. Christopher 12:45 So then you can just interrupt and just start talking. So that's how you navigate the menu. I'll go through, I want to show you another command. And we'll go through that again, where I want to go through, I just want to go through a little bit of navigating the desktop that we can do that. But before we do that, I just want to show you one more thing about the menu that's kind of that I like in that you don't always have to say access menu and you don't always have to go to the same. You don't have to go through that all the time. what it's meant is so that you can go and remember something. So close menu, Speaking Access 13:23 main task area ready, the only Christopher 13:25 way I can say it is instead of saying access menu, say that you're in the browser and you want the browser commands. You don't have to go access menu internet thing, whatever. You just say, browser commands, Speaking Access 13:37 have loaded browser commands. five items in list. One common browser command was menu, main task area ready. Christopher 13:48 So all I had to do was instead of saying I chose menu, I said the browser commands command thinking and then to make another point. Navigate my computer Speaking Access 14:02 now and navigate my computer. Eight items in list. One volume commands to switch program commands. Three common window commands for desktop commands, five window document commands. Six voice keyboard, seven voice keyboard stop commands. Now in desktop commands, six items in list. One desktop notifications to ease of access, Christopher 14:33 ease of access NVDA 14:35 settings, Settings window, search box, find a setting edit blank. Christopher 14:41 And that just took us to the ease of access for custom settings through accessibility. Close window NVDA 14:49 speaking access. Christopher 14:52 And let's see I think that's about it. So that was kind of neat. I really enjoyed those feature. Unknown Speaker 14:59 Oh yeah. Christopher 14:59 I wanted to show you navigating the desktop so you can do show notifications notification area access menu Speaking Access 15:14 now in main menu six items in list one speaking access navigate my computer now in navigate Microsoft commands have loaded desktop commands. six items in list one desktop notifications Christopher 15:31 desktop notifications NVDA 15:33 Action Center window.
