I have found that using the NVDA add-on ObjPad with the News App with
Scan mode is a good experience. See the add-on site for info.

Yes, using object navigation is the answer to accessing a lot with NVDA.
Object navigation is very similar to the JAWS touch cursor. I would not even
suggest using NVDA without learning all of the object navigations key
commands. That is what makes NVDA access more controls for me than JAWS in
programs and on web pages. Just press NVDA+N and arrow to the help menu, and
open the users guide. Chapters 4 and five are crucial to memorize, because
that is where you learn all about navigating with the review cursor, and
navigating to each object or control and then reading what is on that object
with the reading commands for the review cursor. I have tutorials for all of
that.

Do you know about working with object navigation?  The JAWS touch cursor is
the rough equivalent of object navigation. I almost never use JAWS these
days and I don't have Windows 10 but if you learn about object navigation,
it will likely allow you to do what you want.  Other list members who know
more about working with apps may have other, better suggestions but whatever
the case, learning about object navigation is very worth while and it allows
me to work with interfaces I couldn't work with otherwise.

Hi,I'm using NVDA, master snapshots, which are much more stable, on Windows
10, version 1703, rather than NVDA 2017.1.

Hi Jessica,
I use the touch cursor in JAWS to navigate the News App. This works very
well. When you open the News App with JAWS 17 or 18, the touch cursor will
come on automatically, and you can start pressing the right and left arrow
keys to go through the different News articles. When you hear a title of a
news article, press enter, then you can press right arrow to read the
different hunks of the article. The entire article will not read; you pres
the right arrow, listen to part of it, then press right arrow to hear more
until you are done. If you want to use all of your reading commands to read
word by word, for example, you have to enter text mode. To do this, press
insert+enter. You will hear a sound, and then you can read that section of
the article with up and arrow, and so on. When you are ready to go back to
the touch cursor, just press escape, and then you can right arrow to the
next hunk. You will know when you come to the end of that article, and then
you just keep pressing the right arrow to get to the next article with the
touch cursor turned on. To set up your news so you will get the articles
that you are interested in to come up, turn off the touch cursor, and tab to
a list of the different kinds of news that you can select from. Top
headlines is already chosen. You can choose from sports news, and many other
types of news. From then on, those articles of news will be there as you
press the right arrow with the touch cursor turned on. Let us know if you
have anymore questions after you try this. Let us know how it goes.
