Re: nvda and e-mails

This is an example of where a very small adjustment on the part of the user
can eliminate a lot of problems. Whyile I don’t use Outlook, I expect that
opening a message, then issuing the read to end command will eliminate the
problems discussed. That is what I do with both Windows Live Mail and
Thunderbird and the entire problems are eliminated in that way. Issuing
the command becomes second nature and automatic after a short time.
Screen-readers exist in complex environments and users will save themselves time
and inconvenience by helping them do their jobs if this can be done in simple
and easy ways when doing so helps.
another example is using the screen-reader find command on a web
page. As soon as my screen-reader starts to speak what it has found, I
immediately issue the read current line command. That reads what has been
found and eliminates a lot of irrelevant verbiage.
This isn’t necessary when using repeat search but it is with the first
search with NVDA to eliminate such verbiage.. It also used to be necessary
in JAWS but I haven’t used JAWS in years and I don’t know if the problem was
ever resolved in newer versions than I used.

Hi,
Unfortunately, NVDA doesn’t have the ability to automatically read all Emails when you open them in outlook.
If you open an HTML Email, then Say All kicks in, but it still reads the header and all that garbage. If you open a text based Email, then it only reads the first line.
That’s why I say compared to JAWS and Narrator, it is horrible to use with Email.
All the best

Hello Jean, Just always read line by line, Remember I used to use jaws so not as difficult. However as Mentioned to steve I found its only with certain commercial e-mails I have this problem. Kind regards, Dennis huckle.

If you use read to end instead of manually moving by line, you won't hear blank spoken. NVDA doesn't announce blank lines in read to end.
Is there a reason you read messages by line, as you appear to read at least some?
