John Sanders Posted October 17, 2019 at 05:00 AM Posted October 17, 2019 at 05:00 AM Hi my name is John Sanders. I have a question: I'm totally blind and I'm not able to see. every time I go in to the audio for vatsim client, when I'm using my text to speech reading program, it doesn't tell me whether or not the rx or tx buttons are checked or not. How should I go about finding out whether they are checked or unchecked? I use a text to speech reading program to help me in reading the text that appears on the screen. I also find this one button that has the letters XC. what do those letters stand for? I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, John Sanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestor Perez Posted October 17, 2019 at 07:31 AM Posted October 17, 2019 at 07:31 AM Hi John, I'll bring this issue over to the Development Desk, so we can hopefully help you out. XC stands for crosscoupling Regards, Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Barnes Posted October 17, 2019 at 11:30 AM Posted October 17, 2019 at 11:30 AM Hi John, Which screen reading program do you use? If there is a free version, we can get the developer to try using it when they look at improving the accessibility. Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Oliver Posted October 17, 2019 at 12:18 PM Posted October 17, 2019 at 12:18 PM John, After you connect to euroscope in the usual way, open and connect the Audio For VATSIM standalone client. This will automatically tick the TX and RX buttons for your position. You will not need to use XC unless doing Center positions. Hopefully your screen reading program reads 'Transceivers:' 1 (or any number above 0) If it does that then you can safely [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume they are ticked and you are connected to voice. Happy to chat in UK Teamspeak at some point soon if you get stuck. Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sanders Posted October 17, 2019 at 07:54 PM Author Posted October 17, 2019 at 07:54 PM Hi, I use two different screen readers. The first one is free. Its called NVDA Non visual desktop access. The other one I use is called jaws (job access with speech). Its a screen reader that is payware. I have a question: I use vrc for connecting. whenever I try to connect to the afv server in the vrc application, I get disconnected. how should I go about connecting to that particular server? In the settings window, in the AFV Client, what should the IP address be set to when doing atc controlling? I hope to hear from you soon.

Ross Carlson Posted October 17, 2019 at 08:00 PM Posted October 17, 2019 at 08:00 PM Hi John, In VRC, you connect to the VATSIM network the same way you always have. Just pick one of the servers in the server list, such as USA-EAST.

Gary Oliver Posted October 18, 2019 at 12:32 PM Posted October 18, 2019 at 12:32 PM John, You can leave the IP address box blank for controlling. Can you confirm the transceivers count label is read via your screen reading software. This could be a good workaround until I get time to test it. Thanks Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sanders Posted October 18, 2019 at 07:36 PM Author Posted October 18, 2019 at 07:36 PM Hi, The transceiver count is not readable by my screen reading program no. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, John Sanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
