My good friend Wendy (SoftShoulders) passed away this past November.
Many of you knew her for the kind person she was to so many people.
When she had to go back into the hospital last year I would send her a Good Morning message and tuck her in at night via email chat.
Wendy played in my poker game every week from her hospital bed and although she could not type, she was able to chat during the game with an app that she shared with me.
Now she’s gone… but part of her will live on from the writing she sent to me.
I’ll share it with all of you.

Hi Donna. I have another tip for people who may have trouble typing to communicate with friends. I have avascular necrosis in both Shoulders and find it difficult to type and keep up with the chats In the party rooms. There is a tool in windows 11 that allows you to convert talk to text automatically by pressing the Windows E and the H on the keyboard at the same time it will pop up a microphone symbol.
If you are in a text box currently, just click on the microphone to turn it on and start to speak. It will type what you say into that box. This has helped me tremendously and I am using it now to generate this email, so it can be used with standard email, Microsoft Word, or other applications that you may use frequently. Since finding this tool I have been able to talk a lot more with my friends and relationships. I hope this helps someone with similar issues.
This app works in most places in casino world; however the text boxes that you use to send a message or reply to a message from someone don’t work.

Let us never forget friends at CW who have passed away,
