Tried it again tonight and ... nada.

Would the fact that I now have cable modem have anything to do with it?

And whenever I click on that link to re-install Hearme through their FAQs, it's a dead link. So apparently I re-install it when I click into the Hearme room, but still have the same problem of not being able to type and have it read and picked up.

Mystifying.
