[WriteLog] CW Jitters

Sun Aug 2 23:13:37 EDT 2020

The MicroHam examples are indeed readable. However, Randy, you are correct. Most screen shots are graphical and of no value to us blind guys.
 I set up everything as directed in the MKII instructions. The CW is working ok. Let's see what happens in a real contest rather than just a few minutes of testing.
Thanks for all of the help and solutions.
73, Bob K3UL

The examples also include step by step (text) captions. For example (from the "microKEYER II and WriteLog Setup" document):

As far as I know, both WriteLog and microHAM USB Device Router use standard screen libraries that are compatible with screen readers.
