Hello All,
thank you for all your ideas.
Cearbhall, thank you for the suggestion with the language. But the user who encounters this problem only works in French. So the different languages is not the issue.
He tried all other things other members suggested:
Using alt+tab to leave outlook and come back.
Disabling all add-ons.
He disabled his anti-virus software but nothing improved.
As I already wrote, he tested with another screen reader and he does not have this issue. So it may be a problem with NVDA and Outlook.
Joseph, I told him to send me a log after he disabled all add-ons and I will send it to you as you previously suggested on this list.
Thank you again.
Best
Sylvie

While NVDA is running, press NvDA+Q, then select "restart with debug logging enabled". 3. After experiencing lag in Outlook, press NVDA+F1 to open log viewer, then copy everything from the log and send it in as a text file attachment. My address is joseph.lee22590@gmail.com. If I do find an add-on that might be causing the problem, I'll alert the add-on writer (unless if it's one of mine, and if so, I'll take care of it). Cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph and all
I followed your instructions and started NVDA in Core mode. I could not replicate the lagging issue in Office 365 Outlook 2016 using Windows 10 (Creators edition). However, when I started the program as per normal, the lagging came back. I initially thought it was the Tiflotecnia Vocalizer voice, however, I am wondering if it is a time issue. The longer my email, the more likely it is that I get a lag. For example, the lag is occurring now.
This is a bit of a mystery.
Cheers
Paula

Hi, Core Mode (sometimes called "NVDA safe mode") is a term I coined to describe running NVDA with all add-ons disabled. This comes from the fact that NVDA is composed of a central core and add-ons on top of it (we the NVDA developers sometimes use the term "NVDA Core" or just the word "core" to describe the NVDA screen reader itself). The ability to disable add-ons came in two phases: 1. All or nothing: this was introduced in 2015. This is done by telling NVDA to (re)start with add-ons disabled. 2. Disable individual add-ons: this was introduced in 2016. With this, one can disable individual add-ons in hopes of locating a possible culprit for issues with add-ons.
With these in place, one of the things developers ask users to try is run NVDA with add-ons disabled. If the issue is resolved, then we know that the problem lies with add-ons, and we try to disable each add-on until we find the offending add-on. If the problem persists, then we ask folks to try reproducing the issue with different screen readers in hopes of narrowing the scope a bit further. Hope this helps. Cheers, Joseph

I have no idea what Core mode is. Please explain this term for those of us who are less tech savi. I am running Windows 10 Office 365 Outlook 2016. Not sure about others.
Cheers

Hi, And versions of NVDA and Windows you've got. Please try running NVDA in Core Mode (add-ons disabled) and see if this helps. Cheers, Joseph

Add-ons? Do you guys have anti-virus?
These need to be clearly specified

Hi Jim,
Nope, this doesn't fix the issue for me.

Hi,
More out of curiosity than anything else, When NVDA starts to lag, ALT tab away from the email and then back again to see if this fixes the issue.
Thanks, Jim.

Hi Sylvie
I found that uninstalling NVDA and reinstalling the latest build has partially fixed the lagging issue. I still find that it occurs sometimes when I type longer messages. If you find a better fix, I would be interested. Although the lagging isn't as bad, and I do not have to resort to closing the screen reader and running another just to write my email, it is still frustrating ant time consuming.
Cheers
Paula

Hi Sylvie,
I am using Outlook 2016 with NVDA on Windows 10 and I do not encounter any slowing down between screens or when reading text. The only time I experience that kind of slowdown of speech is in Excel when I am reading formulas. NVDA takes a while to say "left paren" or "right paren". I looked into this and found that the mathematical symbols are not in the default dictionary file and NVDA has to go to another file to find the word to speak and describe the bracket under the cursor.
Your problem sounds so like this that I wonder if you have a language setting problem. Are you working in French or English? If in French, are you using Outlook in English while your language setting is French? On the other hand, is it the reverse? By that I mean, are you using French when your default language setting is English? Apart from either of these settings, do any of the words you meet have French accents or other French symbols? If so, then you may be experiencing the same problem as mine in Excel where NVDA has to go to a different file to find the words for those symbols.
Let me know if any of this applies to your situation.
Yours sincerely,
Cearbhall O'Meadhra

Hello all,
First, let me introduce myself as I am new on this list.
My name is Sylvie, I live in France and work for a company training people on how to make web sites accessible to all.
I use NVDA as my primary screen reader and am really enthusiastic about it.
I write you today for one user who encounters a very slow behaviour of NVDA while using OUtlook 2016 on his Lenovo PC running on Windows 10.
He uses Google APP Sync in order to synchronise his mails, calendars and contacts between his different devices.
When he writes or displays e-mails, NVDA reacts very slowly. It sometimes takes 3 or 4 seconds while going to the next word.
He tried several things to solve the problem: changing his anti-virus software, disabling Windows Defender, changing settings on Outlook and Lenovo tools, but nothing has improved.
He installed Jaws 18 and did not encounter the same issue.
Has anyone similar problems or any solutions?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Sylvie
