For nvda you will need the 32 and 64 bit access bridges enabled. I'm trying

to steer clear of Java on my 64 bit machines as it caused nothing but
headaches on windows xp for me.

Gene, I hadn't looked at the portable version, so that's good news to know when someone asks me next time what I'd recommend for a good ripper/file converter that still receives updates, even if infrequent.

The program didn't used to include unwanted programs. I didn't install it today but I was curious what was displayed in the preinstallation dialogs so I went through them up to the point where other programs were offered. To the credit of the CDEX designers, you are clearly told that other programs will be installed, though not in that language. The installer doesn't try to sneak the other programs by without you noticing as is often the case unless you are very carefull about reading all installation dialogs thoroughly. But whatever means are offered to opt out are not seen by screen-readers. I saw on the page where you download the program that a portable version is offered. The portable, version, according to a comment I've seen on another list, doesn't include any potentially unwanted programs. Therefore, those wanting to use the newest version of CDEX may try the portable version.

hi

Thanks for all your suggestions. I just installed the cdex software using the link you provided. As a warning to all of you, if you do install this software, you might need sighted help to uncheck the option to install recommended software, because there seems to be no accssible way to decline it. If you do install the cd ripper as it wants, you'll get the following additional software

avast antivirus

bite fence antimalware

chromium

advanced pc care

stack player

and your homepage will be set to yahoo web search in your default browser. I'm still puzzling over how to remove avast, since I can't seem to click or simulate a left click on the uninstall button, NVDA can't seem to route the mouse pointer to the uninstall button using the caps lock plus kp devide shortcut, but the others were easily removed. Despite all of this, I like cdex. I don't like the sneaky bundling of software, and I'm rather shocked that open source software would stoop to such a tactic. I'm not annoyed at anyone hear though, I want to make that clear but at the extra installations. I am going to install chrome and try it out, since I did like chromium in the few minutes I played around with it.

Thanks

Hi Kendell,


Welcome to Windows, and to the NVDA list!


CDex is a popular CD ripper: http://cdex.mu/ It looks up freedb and others (you can set the one you want). I must admit I always just rip to MP3 so I haven't looked into other formats with it. Just looking at the features, you can set it to use OGG, FLAC, AAC, WMA and other formats.


I'm not as familiar with downloading videos, or torrent programs I'm afraid.


I tend to steer clear of driver downloaders - you just don't know what they are downloading and I think most of them cause more problems than they solve. Mostly I let Windows manage drivers and it does do this a lot more autonomously than it used to. Sometimes it is worth double checking you are using the manufacturer's driver, though, particularly for audio and video drivers and in that case, I usually go to the manufacturer's website.


I'm not sure about that file error you're getting. AMD will be your processor and sys means it's a system file, possibly a driver, as you seem to have guessed, but beyond that, I'm not sure. Is anything happening immediately prior to it crashing? I did a google search on the filename and got nothing (5 unrelated results) so whatever it is, it's evidently not overly common.


Speaking of the Chrome browser, you'll actually find that it works fairly well with NVDA if you do choose to install it. The popular browser with NVDA has traditionally been Firefox, but it can be worth keeping Chrome around just for the odd website that works better with one than the other. Internet Explorer still works and still comes with Windows, even Windows 10. If you are on Windows 10, we do support the new browser "Edge", though personally, I'd still stick with one of the others for the most part.


If you are after a word processor that isn't Microsoft Office (MS Office works well with NVDA, but you asked about free), Jarte is a standalone one: http://www.jarte.com/ otherwise, LibreOffice is a full office suite: http://libreoffice.org/


If you used Audacity for audio editing on Linux, you'll find it is available for Windows as well: http://www.audacityteam.org/


I can't think of what else to recommend off the top of my head, but all the best with your migration and do let us know if you encounter anything else you need help or a recommendation on.

Kind regards


Quentin.

Glad to hear CDex is still being updated, but I definitely feel your pain on the annoyingly inaccessible installers. The problem is that the CDex developers can do absolutely nothing about it, because the installer is created by a third party developer. I have managed to get NVDA to uncheck those options in the past, but I now don't remember how. Something about golden cursor and simulated mouse movement. Also, while we're on the subject, did you ever try switching to object review and doing an NVDA+enter on the uninstall button? No point installing a whole JAWS demo if you can make it work another way. If you route the mouse with mouse tracking enabled, and you don't hear the name of the button spoken, it is possible that NVDA doesn't actually know where the button is. This can sometimes happen if you're using object navigation keystrokes but you're in screen review mode, for instance.

It looks like Dropbox has decided that my link to a piece of free software is in fact a violation of copyright law. Fantastic logical deduction. I put UTorrent 3.2.1 in an encrypted zip file. The password is utorrent:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1689280/software/utorrent.zip

Simon,

Re CDex,

The latest stable version is 1.82, released on 21st December 2016.  It definitely works on Windows 10 although it still has much the same interface it has had for about as long as I've used it.

Quentin.

Hi,

If you were much of a command-line Linux user, you might want to check out Windows 10 bash:

http://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/


YoutubeDLG is what I use for my videos. You can set some options in preferences according to whether you want to convert to audio and keep the video. You can also put custom command line parameters into its configuration which will get passed to youtube-dl directly. Personally, I keep the "convert to audio" checkbox unchecked, and add a -x to the command line parameters so that the original format gets preserved in the case of aac or opus audio. This depends entirely on whether you want to keep the video though.

CDex is definitely good, though I don't know if it's updated for Windows 10. It was the first ripper I ever used and worked until I decided to just use GoldWave's internal converter.

For torrenting, I use UTorrent, but a much older version (3.2.1). I don't know off hand where one can download this, so if you trust a google search more than a random stranger on a mailing list, feel free to find your own download. However, this is my copy and it's running well on two of my machines:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1689280/software/utorrent.exe

A few people talked about driveragent being good, but it's not free. However, I was told it was 30 to 40 dollars for up to 10 machines. If that's your thing, give it a try. I'm also told the free version will tell you which drivers you need, but will not download them automatically. Don't quote me on either of those things.

I'm sure people out here have good suggestions of audio converters. I don't personally have any, as I once again use GoldWave's batch converter most of the time. If I don't, I use the one built into Foobar2000, which also works well in certain cases.


Good luck. Feel free to share any discoveries you make as well.

hi

For some reason, restarting nvda allowed the mouse pointer to be routed to the uninstall control, which didn't have a role nvda recognized. Man avast is whiny when you go to remove it. Please please please please please don't uninstall me. What's interesting is the CDEX is gplv3 open source software, but either the installer isn't or it is and the CDEX people haven't tried modifying it. If it bundles stuff, it probably isn't because they wouldn't want to open that. I've never heard of this golden cursor, but I think it's an NVDA addon you can install. I'll try nvda+kp enter, I wonder what that does. I use the desktop keyboard layout, so that might be the laptop equivalent. While I'm on the subject, if I were to buy a windows tablet would NVDA switch seemlessly between keyboard and touch input modes? It's one thing I've been wanting  for a while, since I don't really seem to like android. Nothing against android whatsoever, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Plus, if I had a windows tablet I could mud from my swing out in the yard, and watch my video game walkthroughs from anywhere. My laptop currently has no battery in it so it might as well be a desktop. The problem is, windows tablets are not cheap, but an 80 dollar windows tablet and a cheap bluetooth keyboard would be fantastic. I'm going to assume that windows tablets are x64 and not ARM? In plain english, they have the same or similar hardware parts as a normal desktop or laptop computer would have plus a touch screen, instead of parts a smartphone would have in them, because windows as far as I know does not yet support that type of machine, at least it didn't last I looked. Better stop there, I'll change the subject so people don't get confused.

Thanks

with extra stuff, free trial, or not free at all and they want you to
pay for it. Driver updaters that aren't accessible and often install
extras, such as pc care, pc cleaners, and the chrome browser. Are there
good ways of avoiding these kinds  of things? I'm new to windows after
being in linux for five years so I might as well be a first time windows
user. Thanks for any help, I'll try not to ask for this much help again.

Thanks

Will we be all forced to get creators update? I ask as the last time
for anniversary update several older 32 bit slightly modified bits of
software were removed and could not be put back without losing data,
though they still worked. it would be really nice if there could be a
prompt from the updating software saying these programs will be removed.
If you want to preserve them click here but they may or may not funtion
after the update.
To just unilaterally proclaim its old and hence junk is a little on the
draconian side. This affects Outlook express and some others I may have
forgotten about. However they nearly always still work OK if you put
them back but lose the liinks to their data.

Hi,
Typed characters: are you running Anniversary Update? The typed
characters issue was fixed in recent Windows Insider builds, and will
make its appearance as part of Creators Update in a few weeks.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [nvda] NVDA with Edge browser

Have installed the 2017 RC1 of NVDA and am trying out the Edge browser.
when Edge is started you are on a edit box to enter a web address or
search term. When I type here NVDA does not echo the characters being
typed. Is there a setting to be changed or way to setup Edge to resolve
this issue?
Thanks

Yes indeed, if you have a decent sized drive I tend to rip to wav then i
can use something like flac which clames to be lossless though not as
compact as mp3 or ogg. the problem often comes if you want to feed your
compressed file to an mp3 player, very few have the power or ram to use
flac, since it is a bit like zip in that it expands it and plays it like
a wav file.
I have also come to grief with CDex. some of the later versions seem to
lose focus on the track listings for me. Older versions pre 170 seem to
work better.

It appears you want to convert mp3 files into other formats. If you
convert mp3 into other compressed formats such as ogg, you are
compressing one compressed format with another. You will loose sound
quality if you do so.

hi all

I'm a bit ashamed to say this, but I've just switched from linux,
specifically sonar gnu linux, to windows 10 full time. There are many
reasons why and I won't go into them hear since this is the wrong list,
but the windows blind community is just friendlier and much much less
prone to judge people based on what software they want to use, what
speech voice they want to use and so on. I was hoping you guys could
point me to some free as in price, and open source if possible, software
to do the things I've gotten used to doing in linux. I'll provide a list.

A cd ripper, preferably one that can look up info on cd databases, and
if such a thing exists, one that can look up data on audiobook cd's,
since the ones available for linux can't. It would be nice if it could
rip to opus or ogg vorbis files, preferably both, since I don't care for
mp3 and use free to use media formats like ogg or opus for everything.
Something that can download videos from youtube, entire playlists if
possible. I've found youtube dl gui for this, but it leaves the video
and audio tracks separate, instead of combining them so I have to
manuallt delete them. An audio converter, so I can convert mp3, m4b, etc
files into the formats I prefer to use. I've come across format factory
and already wrote about it hear, but it doesn't seem to handle opus so I
may need to use something else. I've just discovered kodi, the htpc
software. Can it handle using services such as spotify, pandora and
last.fm? I don't use any of these yet, but I'd like to start, assuming
spotify and pandora are still free to use. Accessible torrent software.
I've been usint q bittorrent, and it is usable but not very accessible.
I want torrent software for legal things, not the pirate bay and such.
Even though I'm no longer using sonar I still want to support it's
torrent seeds, as well as other linux distro torrents such as vinux and
fedora. Is there a good free program to keep drivers up to date? If
these are still needed. My computer is experiencing frequent bugcheck
screens from something called amdkfb.sys, and I thought maybe a free
driver updater would download an updated driver that would fix it.
Something that doesn't nag you to upgrade to a pro version would be
nice, and that can be run portable would be even better, but I don't
want to be picky. I'm only asking for all of these instead of doing my
own research because I'm frequently lead around in circles. Sites that
say a piece of software is free, when what they mean is free but comes
with extra stuff, free trial, or not free at all and they want you to
pay for it. Driver updaters that aren't accessible and often install

I'm assuming you do use ad blockers for your browsers, or is this site
one of those who won't let you in unless you turn them off?

Ublock seems to work in firefox for me best of all as not all sites seem
to spot it yet.

Subject: [nvda] how to make a web site more responsive

from mack
i go to this site http://www.seekingalpha.com to read articles on the
stock market. in the day time n v d a and other screen readers are
very slow to respond because of all the ads and articles constantly
coming on line. my only solution has been to wait until late at night
when activity slows down so i can read pretty well, i use chrome that
seems to work the best. i just thought there might be a few settings
i cood change to make NVDA more responsive. if i use an ad blocker,
the site eventually says take out a subscription for 9.95 i think
that's per month. any advice would be appreciated
