I totally agree with you about MacSpeech and will never forgive Nuance for killing the whole project. Regarding Apple voice control: People with Apple Silicon processors in their computers say that voice control has worked really smooth for them over the last couple of years. I am still on Intel Mac, and voice control is horrible for… Read more

For Mac, the best solution is probably its own Voice Control, or Dictation (the latter has fewer features). Previously, it was very poor, but over the last couple of years, they have significantly improved it. However, for Windows, there is a much more productive solution, called Dragon Professional Individual. It is expensive (over $600)…

I would highly recommend you avoid reading/watching the news, considering how sensitive you are. Nothing tragic is happening. Most of R&D is funded by private companies and public donations. Take it easy, take care of yourself – getting scared and anxious doesn’t serve you any good. Get well soon, OK?

It’s not just sad. It’s shocking. I can’t say we were friends; we just had a few exchanges here in forum recently, but it was apparent what a kind, responsive, and willing-to-help person she was. My condolences to all her relatives, friends, and all of us for this loss.

HI Deanne,

I cannot agree more that five hours a day is an insufficient amount of care for people with our diagnosis. However, this program (it’s called PCA – Personal Care Assistance) is separate from Medicaid and Ohio Home Care Waiver which we also have in our state. As I said, to qualify for it you have to be either working and earning at…

I promise to get back with as many details as I can provide – I was just driving by my computer while waiting for guests to arrive. Happy New Year to you and everyone you wish it to!

I had to Google CFSS; Obviously, it is a local Minnesota program. In Ohio, we have a different PCA program: only working people or actively looking for a job or currently in training for a job or a career are eligible for it, so it is pretty challenging, and it only covers 35 hours a week. So, unfortunately, my experience is very different.…

Hi guys! I didn’t check this forum for a few days, and happy to see so many responses! I appreciate all your input and shared experience. Hopefully, you forgive me if I respond to everyone at once in one message.

1. After posting that message, I did my homework and found out that there is really just one pharmacy in the US that supplies…

Hi everyone! I have a question… It may be a little unusual. What pharmacy do you guys use for your Evrysdi delivery? I use A…DO (you probably know what it is), and I hate them. It’s the worst experience ever, almost every time. Initially, they called, pushing you to order a refill literally one week after the previous delivery. It was going on…

It doesn’t work in sunlight, i.e., outdoors, so it’s far from awesomeness.

Regarding iPad: I use voice control for both iPhone and iPad. It’s very inconvenient but better than nothing.

Thank you so much! This is a breakthrough. 🙏

Hi Deann. This is a little off-topic, but how did you get your Jaco Robotic Arm? Are you US-based? For a few years, I tried to talk about it with different PTs and OTs. One of them was actually from Canada, where this product has been developed and manufactured, and nobody ever heard about it, not even talking about understanding what it is…

I am in Ohio, too. What is that independent providers’ website you referred to? Thank you in advance.

Guys, I am afraid you are following the wrong way. I understand that you are capable of creating your own website. I am an IT person as well. But do you have the capability of promoting your website as much, so a lot of people who are interested in those opportunities would see it? I apologize for my skepticism. I am very doubtful about that.… Read more

My only suggestion is to look at Aliexpress. Yes, I know 😁 However: for the price of one original Apple wristband I got 6 from Ali. Surprisingly, the quality is pretty good – of course, it’s not the Apple quality, but, considering the price, you can change wristbands virtually every day. I have not even tried them all, right now I’m using a…
