Re: Accessible Coconut speech at startup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi 
Is there a shortcut or a hotkey to show the list of available wi-fi networks in accessible coconut? So far I can only get a list of wi-fi network by pretending to install coconut. When i type network in the search i get options for setting proxy.
Thanks a lot for your help.

For example, When I do a youtube search and get a hit in Arabic or Hebrew it displays the Arabic or Hebrew characters as question marks. I am sure there is a way of dealing with this.

I was able to confirm that I indeed booted from usb with accessible coconut by using my iPhone camera. I have no idea how to get the speech going. So please if you have a tutorial, send it my way.
