So why is life as a
Blind Blogger so G-DAMN Difficult these Days? I mean it’s Bad enough that the “New
& Improved, Wink-Wink, Nudge-Nudge,” NOT! Zoomtext Fusion 2021 Screen
Reader’s turning out to be a piece of Flaming Crap! But Seriously?
Right now I’m literally
typing Blindly, Whale’ at least I was when I began typing this Tuesday morning…
Since for reasons
unknown, Zoomtext Fusion 2021 simply decided to Magically turn Off my Keyboard
and Mouse Echo features this past Monday evening/Tuesday morning, the latter I
rely upon Heavily, since I spend several hours a day simply sweeping the mouse
back ‘n fourth to have it Talk to me, to tell me where something is upon the screen that I can
No longer See, since like I said before: Wider is Not Better for Mwah! And
hence jumping from a 19-inch square High Def’ monitor to a 24-inch HDi rectangular
monitor has ruined the world for me visually, but I digress…
Thus just when I
thought I might be able to begin posting here on No Fenders with some sorta
frequency, my world literally went Dark once again, Frick! Since
I need the Keyboard to
echo my completed typed words in order to know what I’ve tried spelling; B5?
Nope! D9? Nope!
As I won’t even begin
trying to tell Y’all ‘bout how Gory Horrific Blogger’s new Blogging Interface
platform is, other than I now simply call it Blooger
As it’s simply a game
of Bloody Battleship whenever I try posting something Solo, and it’s definitely
not made for anybody visually impaired or worse, Fucking Blind! Can you Hear me
Now Google?!
Or even better yet, how
‘bout you Freedom Scientific or whatever you’ve rebranded yourselves as today?
Oh yeah, I always forget you’re now Vispero, i.e.; makers of Zoomtext and this
Well Gollee Zoomtext Fusion programme I’ve upgraded too, since the Zoomtext
programme would Never work correctly!
Since like Tacoma
Bureau Chief Mary ellen said, I thought Fusion was supposed to let a Blind person
Navigate their computer screen without being able to SEE! Since have I reminded
Y’all lately that I’m Blind?
Which means I shouldn’t
have to play “Battleship” when trying to open an Internet link on the web, as I’ve
never even been able to use MOOHZillah’/Firefox because the Screen Reader WON’T
interface correctly for whatever reason?
And Adding Insult to Injury,
I’ve just mailed off my Cheque to pay off my Credit Card balance for said product
that Don’t even work correctly, URGH! As I’m definitely not a Computer
Technician! Nor am I a Gory Rocket Scientist or A Doctor Jim! As where’s ‘Ol
Bones from Star Trek when Yuhs need him, Eh?
As right now I’m completely
Baffled on how to install the Fusion Update my system keeps asking me if I want
to install the Update every Gory Stinkin’ time I log onto my Confuzer.
After I say Yes to the
first two questions, or if you’re still following along at home?
“Ken,” my new very
annoying robotic Male Screen Reader Synthesizer’s voice, and Yeah, I chose Ken
as in Ken & Barbie, since he sounds very Mickey Mousish to my Uber’ Sensitive
Hearing, but I digress further…
As Ken
will read me that the Fusion 2021 version 2.4.98.69 XP Caladrocious One of One
is Not Checked…
But try as I may, I
cannot manage to Blindly Sweep the Mouse over the Arse-sumedly Itsy Bitsy,
Teeny Weeny “Radio Button” location where I need to select it to “Check” the
suggested update so I can install it. As why would a company who claims to be the leader in
products for the visually impaired make their programmes so Bloody Difficult
for their Clientele who are BLIND!
And even weirder yet,
why would the programme magically start working again 48-plus Hours later? With
the Keyboard and Mouse Echo features once again enabled, even though I never
actually managed to successfully reset the Fusion programme on my own…
And we’re gona become a
future society having Autonomous vehicles transporting us everywhere safely? Oh
Never Mind!
As we’ll “See” if I can manage to resume Blogging shortly, and Find where the Bloody Labels category Box is hiding in the Blooger interfaces, Sigh…
