Re: [orca-list] Acessible online applications for calendar and task management



Yes, I have two calendars. But two calendars in a single account.

2015-01-05 15:44 GMT-02:00, B. Henry <burt1iband gmail com>:
I have also used the lightning extension for thunderbird.
It takes some getting used to, and I did not do a lot with it, but did set
up reminders both for one time events, and repeated events, such as bill
paying, birthdays, and some work schedules. These included sound alarms and
popup messages.
I don't use it now, but this is as much because I do not use any callender
regularly.
Also I've used googlecl, a commandline interface to several google apps.
Googlecl seemed to be the easiest way to interact with callender I found,
but the functionality is limited to a handful of commands, and I am not sure

if this would meet your needs.
I had some trouble with callender when I tried to link it to  this laptop a
few weeks ago, and have not gone back to try and correct the problem. I hope

this was my error, and not something broken with the google  api.
You could, and hopefully still can post events to your callender, and see
existing events. This could be combined with a cronjob and or some scripting

to automate things so that you are reminded  of your scheduled events at
certain times, when you boot the computer or shut it down, or in when you
start
some program or another, say when you launch your mail reader, or a
notetaking app.
Oh, something that was certainly not obvious to me: The man page for
googlecl is found with
man google
not
man googlecl
and I'm not sure if it has aditional help available using the  info command.

Also you use google to start your commands, e.g.
google help
I'm getting a bunch of errors right now, so won't post more advice re
googlecl until I get things sorted out, but I've used the program happily on
and
off over the last few years. It should work with blogger, youtube, contacts,
docs and a couple more apps besides the above mentioned callender.

HTH.

I just use Google Calendar, usually with Orca and Firefox, but I've also
used it with NVDA and Chromevox. Some of the ways to get things done take
a
bit of experimentation, but once you're used to it, it all seems pretty
doable to me. What specifically are you trying to do? Maybe I or others
can
help if we know what you're trying to do.

Hello all,

Are there online accessible applications to control calendars and
tasks? I don't want to use a smart phone for it. I would like an
online application, accesible with Orca and NVDA, from a desktop
machine.

I have tried to use Google Calendar, but I am not sucessful. It does
not seem so inaccessible, but I can't list my calendars, I can't
navigate easily.

At home, I use Linux; At work, Windows. I can't install clients at
work, so the application should be prefferentially online.

Does someone know something like that? Any tip is appreciated.

Regards,
