I checked again and when filtering by article, all I see is a description that says toggles the reporting of articles, nothing about a move by article command.  Perhaps you know how I might find such a command.

The Times should provide a way to use land marks to move immediately to the text of an article, which often begins about fifteen lines below the title.

If you know of a way to assign a key to move by article, I'd be curious to know.

I'd never heard of these and will be curious to see what Gene has to say if he tries them.  One would have to believe that these commands depend on some sort of fixed marker to determine what constitutes "beginning of article."

Is there a possibility that the cursor is jumping over the land mark, in which NVDA does not read it.

Gene,

I agree with you.  To my mind, the "Skip to content" link should take you to the opening line of an article, but I've played with it and it doesn't.

There is an interesting combination of articles with "by" lines, which are often absent a city of filing and em dash, articles with city of filing and emdash, and probably the occasional article, or at least the live "ticker" type articles, that have neither.

Why there would not be some sort of landmark (and I mean that broadly, though it could truly use a landmark) to denote the beginning of text content after an article title and byline I do not know.

Please open a web browser to a page, so that you are in browse mode. Then, Press NVDA+N, P, N. Then Shift+tab once, and type "article" in the search box. Then tab to the search results, and you should find assignments for next/prev article.

Here is an interesting Github ticket I found about articles.

I'll look at the gestures dialog again to see if I missed something because the ticket indicates you can assign a key to move by heading.

But as the ticket also makes clear, this moves you to the beginning, the title, of an article.  It doesn't move you to the text of the article.

This also raises the question of why aria, or some other method isn't used by sites so a screen-reader user can move immediately to the beginning of the
text of articles, skipping teasers and opening captions.  Aria has been used for a long time now.  I don't see why it hasn't been used in such an obvious
way.

Assign them to some key combination in Browse mode Input Gestures, and determine the result.
Landmark usage has always been, and continues to be, very site-dependent and ineffective.

Gene,

Interesting, because when you hover over the actual author name shown, even the URL for the author information includes the word "by" as one of the elements in the URL path itself.

My only suggestion to you is that you might want to start searching on the em-dash:  —
This character almost invariably appears between the city designation for where the article originated and the first words of the article itself.

The Em Dash is unicode character 2014 and in Word you can insert an Em Dash by typing 2014 then immediately hitting ALT + X, which converts the character code into the character itself.

I grabbed that Em-dash that I pasted straight out of the NYT itself, and if you do a search on it you will land one character ahead of the start of the article text in the majority of instances.

I am a NYT subscriber.  Can you point me to a couple of examples of "by-less" articles.  The random sampling I just tried all had "By {author name}" in them.

I'm curious to see what the structure of those articles that don't looks like.
