Ah ok thanks.  The other option you can use to "pause" NVDA is sleep mode, which not only turns speech off, but disables the NVDA commands as well in case you need those for your application.  The command for sleep mode is NVDA+shift+s or in laptop keyboard layout, NVDA+shift+z.

Hi Quentin
speech on demand works similar to Toggle Speech Mode command in NVDA. As you know, it'll temporary turns speech off it case such as recordign streaming.
abdul muhamin, press NVDA+S for that feature. We have three mode: speak, beeps and talks.
Let try
Cuong!

What would such a speech on demand add-on do?

 

Are you using any add-ons or anything else?  I can't replicate the read only issue with Word myself.  I'll keep thinking on what else it could be.

Quentin.

Hi guys, is there a speech on demand like jaws, available for NVDA? I think it will be very useful in some of the apps.

More over, I’m using ms office 2016 pro, with latest NVDA, and I’ve enabled UI automation, after opening any document in word, NVDA says read-only before reading a line, I think it’s a bug, and needed to be fix, because with UI automation enabled, NVDA response more better.
