Windows 10: Windows assistanvce for blind users

I am a Windows 10 user and have suffered an abrupt deterioration in my eyesight, leaving me nearly blind. I am completely unable to read any text on my monitor at its normal font size. To type this request I have set the text editor to 48 point font size. Is there a way for me to magnify everything, rather than trying to find the "magnify" command in each software application? Please remember that until I achieve the magnification, I can't see enough to use point-and-click; I need to be able to set the magnification using only the keyboard.

Smart phones for blind users

Strange as it may seem blind people do use mobile phones, however many features are wasted, to access something as simple as a message you need a separate program such as "Nuance Talks" that costs as much as the phone!

Now Nokia is half way there with the speech for some functions so how much harder to take the extra step and include text to speech from the screen?

For those people "on the go" just think how handy to press a button and hear the message in your bluetooth device! or scroll down your contacts list without having to look at your screen!

Please Nokia, the world has many poorly sighted people, take the step and make an effort to make phones "accessible"!

 

blind users

How does a blind user shut down Windows 10 with a keyboard shortcut. They need to be able to shut down independently without someone assisting them in programming the On/Off key to shut down. With 2 pages of keyboard shortcuts handy on the net, Microsoft
could have included one for simply shutting off the computer. It wasn't difficult in Windows 7.

 

The Blind Leading The Blind

This so-called Microsoft Community is one way for Microsoft to shed its responsibility of solving the myriad problems generated by the operating systems that it sold.

They expect users of the O/S to solve the problems of other users and it's all a case of the Blind Leading The Blind!

Why can't it be a case of users posting to a website which are manned by Microsoft staff who will then acknowledge receipt of the case file, issue a case number and keep their customers posted of the progress of their cases?

For far too long users of Microsoft products have been very complacent with this company and allow them to twist them around their little fingers.

That's how it got to such an explosive level of dissatisfaction with regard to Windows 8 that they have to appease their over aggravated customers by giving them Windows 10 FOC!!!

Now, it seems the same hair-brained problems are also woven into their Windows 10.

I suggest that users, especially those in the USA, instead of being naive and complacent, must take up the cudgels and take issue with the top honchos of this ineffectual company because more and more, it is being run by nincompoops!!!
