May 14th, 2012 No comments

With the rapid development of the Internet, more and more people are using computers for information, but there are a few people they cannot get information through the Internet, they are blind and visually impaired community, and now does not blind the build operating system, including Windows and Mac OS, and flexibility of Linux operating system is different, it is able to customize a specific operating system in some quarters. Vinux for visually-impaired users group does a lot of optimization, it offers three screen readers, two full screen magnifier, and provides tools for global change font size and color, as well as support for USB Braille displays.

Vinux graphical GNOME desktop makes operation easy. Only people you want to implement a simple text console mode, Vinux provides YASR, this is a compatible screen reader. Can run both in console mode, can also be run in the GNOME Virtual Terminal.

Vinux installation steps using smart artificial voice prompts

Vinux is a Ubuntu-based distributions, so many of the links you can see the shadow of the Ubuntu system, from installation to a specific application.

Select a Vinux system boot

Enter Vinux system

Vinux System Home

Will be voice prompts during the installation process, it is a good help for the blind through “listen” to install the system, after entering the interface also has voice prompts.

With ears to control the operating system

And we daily see the operating system, and eyes for visually impaired persons cannot watch the screen for selecting. But their ear is normal, Vinux each application and operating system are read out by words as much as possible.

Vinux right function

The start menu

When you move the mouse to the appropriate application, the system user name, user-friendly operation.

Vinux there’s software Center

In addition to voice reading instead of a visually impaired person’s speech, Vinux general application has more features, and also very rich.

Vinux system monitoring

Vinux Ubuntu Software Center

Vinux also provided based on the Ubuntu Software Center, users can choose according to your installation.

Vinux Office suites and color control functions

Vinux provides a tool “AutoKey (GTK)” is recommended. When you enter text in your usual content, can often encounter the need to enter the same content, such as address, phone number, and so on. If you too have to reenter it each time consuming, especially for visually impaired persons is even more true.

Text editor

“Gcolor2″ color gadget

In the “shape tool” “Gcolor2″ gadget is also a recommended dedicated color tools under Linux. “Gcolor2″ are free to extract color gadget color values on the computer screen, often engaged in design and development foreground of people, is very necessary and required.

Summary: by Vinux experience, feel this is a very suitable for people who are visually impaired to use the Linux operating system. And, Vinux such Linux operating system designed specifically for visually impaired persons, and we should be actively encouraged. This special love for special people. At the same time, we also hope to further introduce a number of other operating systems for the disabled, as well as more targeted applications, and the Internet from your computer so that they are able to understand the world, to learn better.

Driver genius 2012 official version released! Win8

April 30th, 2012 No comments

After several months of intensive testing, driver genius 2012 release is finally complete. Driver genius 2011 Edition, driver genius significant enhancement upgrades in 2012, including more efficient cloud-driven library of UI design, new features, easier controls, drive one-click downloads, and so on. Recent hot consumer preview Windows 8 operating system, driver genius has also supported. Following main change is the driving spirit 2012 release.

1, new UI design, more efficient

Driver genius 2012 version has redesigned the interface, the interface is cleaner, more convenient to operate. The new 2012 engine capacity increased dramatically hardware and driver identification, pop in new version of cloud database, found drive more efficient and more accurate. From the first screen you can easily find the various features of the switch, common features of dedicated buttons can also be found. Previously installed driver genius 2012Beta beta user, must have found these changes.

Programs we have done a lot of improvements on the efficiency, driver genius 2012 starts more quickly than the 2011 edition of the software, get a list of driving time than previously reduced the number of seconds to wait.

2, support for consumer Windows 8 Preview

For more hot preview Windows 8 consumers, driven spirit is also on operating system support on the day. And at a subsequent time on software under Windows 8 system problem within a variety of changes and optimizations.

We are aware that under Windows 8 system, sound card, and video card drivers that are part of the schema changes have occurred, some of the equipment likely to be problems during driver installation. Below, I will introduce you to Windows 8 system driven architecture change.

Audio section:

We note that the era of Windows 8, Microsoft began to pick up the sound card hardware acceleration. This situation is really exciting, because in the era of Windows Vista, and Windows 7 systems, Microsoft, in order to ensure the stability of the system, sound card driver can access simulation for hardware replacement, difference between soft and hard sound card is severely reduced. Windows 8 hardware acceleration back in the system, this is bound to raise “hard card” level of performance and quality.

But we tested, the actual situation is not as good as expected, Windows 8 preview system of consumption and not integrated in any “hard card” driver. Even more outrageous is that for example hard, such as x-fi sound card on even the Windows 7 drivers are not installed, spirit was already very fragile “hard card” user was again hit, we just have to wait for manufacturers to accelerate research and development driven, to address these issues.

And the good news is that all users who are using the onboard HD Audio sound card are not affected, driver genius Windows8 HD Audio sound card drivers provided by 2012 version has been supported, all driven can match.

Video section:

Windows8 system video card upgrade driver module from WDDM 1.1 to 1.2, most video cards can now work correctly. While vendors quicker action, such as AMD have released specifically for Windows Beta 8 platform, NVIDIA has also released the day before yesterday to support driver for Windows 8 System. Driver genius is already provided on the driver support. Some manufacturers of slow action, the user would wait patiently.

WinDriver Ghost 2011 preview release Windows8 consumption other compatibility issues exist, have all been fixed in a 2012 release.

3, various other improvements

Otherwise, driver genius 2012 version of new ‘ key to download the driver you want ‘ buttons that allow users easier. All of the drive once the download is complete, without manual intervention. New patch upgrading modules, the first time for Microsoft vulnerabilities to update content, users. In addition, the driving spirit 2012 there are dozens of minor improvements, we can use to explore slowly.

Driver genius 2012 official launch will not allow us to stop. Driver Genius will continue to inherit the concepts of user needs, continue to upgrade. User’s demand is our direction. Thank you for support and help on driver genius!
