Your cane is quite short. Why did you pick a cane length that is so short on you?

My sis says: I have a different computer program than jaws, though I have heard of it. But When I am online my program stops reading things that I want it to keep reading. It is also difficult to use. I am not really on the computer much anyway.

JAWS is expensive: ubuntu + orca gives you screen reading capabilities and full use of a computer for free. you can even install ubuntu as a live install on a pendrive and use it on your windows computer. Or, buy a mac: you get beautiful hardware and voiceover, a built in screenreader for less than the price of a windows computer + JAWS.
avrillavigne99: i know people who have canes that reach to the top of their heads! the longer your cane, the longer your reach, the faster you can go. short canes hold you back, no matter what sighted o&m instructors may tell you.

My sis says: I've always had one this length. I am used to it from when I was born. There are different lengths I've tried, but because I'm used to this length it's what I prefer. I think it is all in preference, not exactly how fast you'd want to go.

Hey, its steph here, kelsey's aid lol she says... well ..i'm getting my guide dog pretty soon anyways.. but a cane is generally measured to the breast bone, thats because the width of your shoulders us usually determined through this. But thank you!

erin says: oh congrats on getting a dog! I hope the training class goes well. I can't get one because I'm allergic. Let me know how it goes, though.

skool1555 is right, I know some blind people in the Internet and they all use JAWS or a similar Software to listen to the computer, so they can chat, post messages, browser the web etc.
Do you know about it?

My sis says: Yes I know about JAWS. I have a different Program that I've used for a while. But it doesn't work when I'm trying to read comments and such. It is also quite expensive. I am not on the computer all that much anyway.
