@LibreOffice Hello. I am using the latest version in Windows and am now unable to open XML files in #Write. No matter what I do, they open in Calc. This means that I cannot use search and replace, then upload to @FormidableForms to create a new product form. Please can

you help? I am a big fan of #Write anyway, but being able to use it to edit XML files was the icing on it's cake.
Do you have any ideas?
Many thanks!

At Lime Assistive Technology Ltd, we are looking to recruit volunteer #proofreaders (in the UK and ROI only) who are willing to spend between 3 to 5 hours per week for 4 to 6 weeks testing two text-to-speech cloud applications that were developed for #dyslexic people.
1/2
Both applications have high quality text-to-speech voices, can be used for writing and reading documents, and reading PDFs. Documents can be translated to different languages, and PDFs can be annotated.
Interested? Please email:

Many thanks

Are you in the #UK and run an #ecommerce business using @Shopify, @WooCommerce, @eBay_UK etc?
If so, please give your support to the following petition:
Replace the #disability #VAT exemption with 0% VAT on disability-related products

Many thanks
Do you have to do a lot of proof reading, either for yourself, or other people?
If so, and you live in either the UK or Republic of Ireland, would you like to try a text-to-speech reading cloud app?
Wherever you are, you will be able to listen to text in a human...

@mrmarkdolan Hello Mark. Regarding the two below petitions:
UK Disability VAT Exemption is not easy to implement on a website designed using @WooCommerce, @Wix etc as it requires eligibility questions linked to a possible removal of VAT.
@AmazonUK, @eBay_UK etc do not..

1) Replace the disability VAT exemption with 0% VAT on disability-related products

(Like with books and children's clothes)
2) Remove VAT from text-to-speech voices for computer operating systems

implement it. Buying children's clothes, books etc does not require a paper / online eligibility form as they are VAT zero rated.
Implementing Disability VAT Exemption eligibility questions on a website is not easy. How many non disabled people are going to buy....

a wheelchair, or an expensive screen reading application for blind people?
Payment platforms such as @WooCommerce, @PayPalUK, @stripe etc WILL NOT enable small businessess to implement the UK Disability VAT Exemption questions.
Text-to-speech voices are not even eligible!
3/3
UK Disability VAT Exemption can pose significant difficulties for small businesses using e-commerce and payment platforms such as @stripe, @PayPalUK and others.
Please consider supporting this petition:
Replace UK Disability VAT Exemption with 0% VAT.
petition.parliament.uk/petit…
Books, children's clothes etc have a very specific market, but no need to use a claim form on a website to enter your details to request VAT removal.
This is necessary when buying a wheelchair, #assistivetechnology software, hardware, and many other products.
Many thanks.
UK #petition:
Remove VAT from #texttospeech voices for computer operating systems
Make text-to-speech voices for computer operating systems #VAT zero rated, or eligible for UK #Disability VAT Exemption.

@freepik Hi. We are looking for SVGs of men's and women's clothing (top only) but with no outline at the top of the neck, to indicate a back.
The avatar website that we use has only a few garments.
Please see:
avatarmaker.com/female
avatarmaker.com/male
We managed to

buy female and male hairstyles for the same reason, but can not find any "front only / flat" SVG images of clothing.
If you could help, we would be extremely grateful!

@RachelReevesMP We have given examples of how replacing UK Disability VAT Exemption with a zero rating (like books and pet food) would help #disability / #assistivetechnology businesses.
It was introduced when #ecommerce was in it's infancy and hasn't evolved.
Please help.
Can anybody help?
We need payment links that allow for radio button questions and a conditional logic #VAT percentage change (legal for #UK sales).
Must be easy to set up, create, and #accessible.
Many thanks

@Keir_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP When the John Major government introduced UK Disability VAT Exemption, we didn't have e-commerce. Things have now moved on, and @stripe, @PayPalUK, @Square and other payment link / e-commerce platforms will not facilitate the eligibility...

#VAT zero rated, rather than exempt.
In terms of equality, surely that is better than levelling down by making @AmazonUK, @zooplusDE, @PetsatHome etc to have a web check out requiring the pet's microchip number, address, and a declaration that only that one pet and no...

other animal will eat the food? As pet food must be made from "fit for human consumption" meat / fish, such resellers should also ask that pet food will not be eaten by humans.
Please, bring pet food, books, betting etc in line with #disability / #AssistiveTech products.
