Verbal View of Windows XP™Verbal View of Windows is a comprehensive tutorial on using Windows XP from the view point of a blind or partially sighted student or professional. It covers nearly every aspect of Windows XP, and it presents this material from the keyboard user's perspective.
Delivered on CD, this tutorial comes in DAISY 3.0 format with its own presentation software. The CD also contains Microsoft Word , html, contracted braille, and text versions of the document, so you may send it to a portable device like the Book Port or other note taker with a refreshable braille display.
Verbal View of Windows XP requires the following system as a minimum:
To install this program, insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Within a few seconds, the disc should start spinning and the Setup program should start.
If your CD-ROM drive does not automatically start the Setup program, press Ctrl+Esc (or press the Windows key) and press the letter "R" to open the Run dialog. At the Run dialog, type d:\setup and press Enter. Replace the "d:" with the actual letter of your CD-ROM drive.
If you don't know the letter of your CD-ROM drive, open the My Computer icon on your desktop, open the CD-ROM drive that contains your program CD, then open the program Setup.exe.
Once Setup starts, follow the instructions displayed on screen.
Once the software is installed, you will not need the CD to use the program.
To start the software, find its icon on the desktop, or go to the Start menu and open the Programs folder. Use the arrow keys to find the program's name and press Enter.
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal contract between you (either an individual or a single entity) and American Printing House for the Blind ("APH") relating to the software product identified above, which includes computer software and, as applicable, associated media, printed materials, and electronic documentation (the "Software").
BY CLICKING THE "ACCEPT" BUTTON BELOW OR PRESSING ALT+A, OR BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
You are entitled to receive a full refund of any payment made for the Software by so requesting and returning any media and materials in resalable condition within 30 days after date of payment.
Following acceptance of this Agreement, APH grants you the nonexclusive right to install and use one registered copy of the Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
You may install the single registered copy on one hard disk or other storage device for one computer, and you may access and use the Software at that location so long as only one copy of the Software is in operation. If you are an entity rather than an individual, you may authorize employees, students or others served by your organization to use the Software, but only one person at a time may use the Software on one computer at a time. The primary user of the computer on which the Software is installed may make a second copy for his or her exclusive use on a backup or portable computer, so long as each registered copy of the Software is used on only one computer at a time.
You may store, install and access the registered version of the Software through an internal network, if you obtain and pay for a license for the number of users that will access the Software through the network at the same time. In a lab setting, you must purchase a license for the number of computers on which the Software is installed.
You may not rent, lease, sublease or lend the Software. You may not copy the CD-ROM media. If an update to the Software becomes available and you obtain it, you may not use prior version(s) of the Software.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or create derivative works from the Software, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
APH may provide you with support services related to the Software ("Support Services"). Use of Support Services is governed by APH policies and programs which may change from time to time. Any supplemental software code provided to you as part of the Support Services will be considered part of the Software and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. With respect to technical information you provide to APH as part of the registration of your license to the Software or in connection with the Support Services, APH may use such information for its business purposes, including for product support and development.
You may permanently transfer all of your rights (including all updates) under this Agreement, provided that you retain no copies, you transfer all of the Software (including all component parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades, and your registration), you notify APH of the transfer and the name and address of the recipient, and the recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement.
Without prejudice to any other rights, APH may terminate this Agreement if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In such event, you must, at the option of APH, either return to APH or destroy all copies of the Software and all of its component parts.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
All title and copyrights in and to the Software (including, without limitation, any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music or text incorporated into the Software), the accompanying media and printed materials, and any copies of the Software are owned by APH or its licensors. The Software is protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat the Software like any other copyrighted material, except that you may copy the software portion of the product onto a computer hard disk for installation purposes provided that it is used as specified, and is subject to, the provisions of this Agreement. All copyright notices must appear on any copy of the Software and may not be altered. You may not replicate any materials that accompany the Software.
Should you decide to transmit to APH by any means or by any media any materials or other information (including, without limitation, ideas, concepts or techniques for new or improved services and products), whether as information, feedback, data, questions, comments, suggestions or the like, you agree such submissions are unrestricted and will be deemed non- confidential and you automatically grant APH and its assigns a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, transmit, distribute, create derivative works of, display and perform the same.
APH warrants, for the benefit of the original registered end user alone, for a period of 90 days from the date of shipment by APH (referred to as the "Warranty Period") that the media on which the Software is contained is free from defects in material and workmanship. APH further warrants, for your benefit alone, that during the Warranty Period the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the functional specifications in the documentation. If, during the Warranty Period, a defect covered by the foregoing warranty appears, you may return the Software accompanied by the APH invoice number of the original purchase and the date of shipment which appears on the invoice, for either replacement, or if elected by APH, refund of amounts paid under this Agreement. You agree that the foregoing constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy for breach by APH of any of the warranties or other agreements made under this Agreement.
EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND APH DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
ANY LIABILITY OF APH FOR A DEFECTIVE COPY OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO REPLACEMENT OF YOUR COPY OF THE SOFTWARE WITH ANOTHER COPY OR REFUND OF THE INITIAL LICENSE FEE APH RECEIVED FROM YOU FOR THE DEFECTIVE COPY OF THE PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT WILL APH (OR ITS SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST TIME, EVEN IF APH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or special damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long a given warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
