Hey fellow #BlindMastodon users! I'm looking for recommendations on two types of writing tools for Windows:
1. Accessible text expanders
2. Word prediction software
I use both #JAWS and #NVDA screen readers. I tried Espanso (an open-source text expander), but it didn't work well with NVDA. I also tested Lightkey for word prediction, but it didn't seem accessible.
As an #ActuallyAutistic person, word prediction would really help with my autism-related communication challenges.
Have you found any text expanders or word prediction tools that work well with screen readers? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your recommendations and thoughts!

For kicks, have you tried clearing the clipboard by pressing the Leasey key followed by the letter Z? Admittedly, you should not need to do this every time you want to expand an abbreviation but I'm just curious as to whether that might fix things going forward.
Please note that I'm just a Leasey user and am not intending to represent Hartgen Consultancy.

In seinem 1927 (!) erschienenen Buch beklagt sich Kurt Floericke, wie furchtbar die Tierwelt in den letzten 40 Jahren "verarmt und verödet" ist. Die Schuld dafür weist er hauptsächlich dem "Siegeszug von Industrie und Technik" zu.
Surprise…

The solution: "find -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -delete", to remove all of the empty directories one level below the current directory.
Having solved the problem myself, I then queried GPT-4, as I was interested to know whether it could give a correct solution. Indeed it could, although the GPT-4 solution was unnecessarily more complex than mine, with an -exec option used to run rmdir on each directory. I did specify that I was using Linux, so GNU extensions to the find command would have been allowed in the answer.

Federal government going ahead with high-speed rail between Quebec City and Toronto

Another High Speed rail report.
I'll believe it when it actually is in service. But at that pace I'll be dead.
"A source close to the file said the bidding consortia warned Ottawa that ridership would be lower with a high-frequency train than with a high-speed one, since customers are looking for the shortest possible trip."
So they paid somebody to tell them that? Maybe I should become Govt Consultant and make the big bucks here. I could have told them.

With JAWS, you do have two options.
First, Doug Lee has a free set of scripts to do this called JGauge.
dlee.org/jgauge/
Also, Leasey from Hartgen Consultancy has a similar capability.

In my opinion, JGauge's sounds are a bit closer to what you might be used to with NVDA. Of course, Leasey offers way more features and so is definitely worth paying for.
