Subject: [nvda] Accessible HTML CSS Javascript editors.

Hi all, Can anyone suggest some accessible editors for html css and
javascript? I have been using Notepad++, but I am interested if there's
other better and accessible software for that purpose?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Having got sighted help, it seems that the keyboard will not move down
to the power button, two keyboards have been tried, theis used to work
for me when I first got "10, so it seems that it is a Microsoft issue,
not NVDA, having tried with Jaws the same thing is evident, the mouse
can operate the power button.

It's alright to use alt F4 etc, but this issue needs to be sorted, where
will it end otherwise? What other keystrokes will disappear in the
updates that Microsoft make? sighted people use the keyboard as well.
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Microsoft and get some
response? I could stand outside the back door and shout I suppose,
[lol].



Best Regards, Jim.

I agree. There do seem to be, from the sighted point of view, quite a
lot of
options on screen we cannot get at aas a mouse user can. Not sure if
this
was some deliberate act or just an oversight in design, but the alt/f4
is my
preferred method. However the next snap seems to have issues sometimes
with
both this menu and some context menus and the nvda menu. A reboot of
nvda
seems to restore the menus.
Sadly nobody else could duplicate this problem and I have my suspicions
that its some software I run that cocks up nvda next.

I use the alt F-4 method of shutting down. Both alt F-4 and windows x
are
fast.

In Windows 10 that don't work.

windows+X can be a good alternative.

hello ralf,
when you're in the desktop, press the windows key.
after that press 2 times uparrow.
you hear shutdown or something, press enter there.
now you can make the choice restart or close the computer or the
sleepmode.

Dear Folks,



My Windows 10 went through some kind of update and now my NVDA cannot
access
the Power button for shutting down or restarting, etc. I open the Start
menu, using the Windows key, then go to Navegation, using the tab key.
With
the down arrow I get down to the User Account button, but then it won’t
continue down to the Power button. Any suggestions?

Subject: Re: [nvda] NVDA not announcing bullets when added

Hi Dan

I just tested the bullets insertion.

After selecting, in Word 2010, I press the application key and go down to “bullets”. After entering, NVDA does announce the bullets I inserted. True, when entering on “bullets” there is no speech response, but then, you must know that you selected to enter on bullets.

There are definitely other ways to insert bullets, but to me the above mentioned is definitely the easiest.

Regards

Christo (Worcester, South Africa)

Hi all,

I was trying to teach adding of bullets on the fly and NVDA will not

Speak that there is  a bullet.

I have tried with most and all punctuation selected and the result is the same.  I also looked under “document formatting” and could find anything that would make this type of symbol be announced.

Does anyone else have this issue and if so can it be changed?

Thanks for your help.

Hi
This might be already a well-known problem, but here goes anyway.
When scrolling through line by line, lines that contain unknown
character symbols aren't spoken at all.
That usually concerns lines with emojies.
Any suggestions what to do about that?
I'm using nvda 2016.4 and windows1-0.

Well the current database was written as a series of visual basic macros in a Microsoft access shell.
The point is that its a talking newspaper database which allows one to ad/remove people suspend people for certain dates, holidays etc, log in pouches, and print the bar coded labels was we scan them in when they return. We also let it create a txt log file with those pouches no held locally or returned via the post and it gives a nuumber of pouches so we know how many ram sticks to be copied each week.
It has some inaccessibilinaccessible parts. Access edit areas do not speak when you cursor or delete things from them, but can be tabbed to.
At present, we do not have an up to date version of the full access package, as it seems not to be part of standard ocffice these days. Our version is 2002, but the database can run under runtimes on later machines and versions of windows but the hacked visual basic does not do printer switching correctly or at all and cannot be edited on the new machine without a full version of access.
None of us have the abiilty to work with this level of programming. I write batch files but have not really got anywhere with visual basic or python since the indentation is hard to get right for me.

The database was written in what I call a tonka toy way, so anyone can work out how to use it, ie it plays files little wavs when user action is needed and one saying ok when all is well etc. So we have this person missed last week, press enter to clear, which make the database put this into a log. It may say at the end there are 25 users not logged, press yes to process no to stop.
Ifdf you press yes then you get the missing ones one at a time which allows manual looking for that pouch at the studio as we have several for each user. Obviously if you find it and hit yes then its logged no leaves it unlogged and hence in the final log file output. at any time during any logging it can print a new label for that user so we can fix faded and torn ones, including the text and the barcode.

Yes we have a bar code font which is just a coding of the number of the person in the database. they are not stored alphabetically.

We most certainly do not need a spreadsheet this would be far too hard to do without making errors. the current system is almost impossible to screw up as it won't allow people to do things they are not allowed to do.
Bear in mind we are all volunteers with mainly no computer literacy at all.


You can if you want look anyone up by either inserting part of the surname or their number into a find box and that will show when they last returned a pouch to save looking at the log files or paper logs.


It all works very well in XP but only it seems on the one laptop type we have. an attempt to port it to another newer dell still running xp fails with no printer defined for no known reason, which means one assumes that the way the driver is activated is hardware specific or maybe the thing looks this up in a registry entry or.ini file as the original database ran on windows 98.
However this is getting a bit off topic here, and all I was after was something I might be able to program in. This database was built from one I originally wrote when I could see on an old ZX spectrum from the ground up in basic. It worked well but of course could not do bar codes etc, though most of the rest is much the same except we used noises from the sound to indicate things not little wav files.

In that case all data was held in two linked arrays of several dimensions held in a ram disk during use and saved to disc when you needed to turn off.

Really depends on platform, database engine/format, etc. etc.


As in, what do you want to use the data for, do with it, etc.?


Ask since I am, primarily, a web application developer, working with PHP, MySQL, etc., and, for MySQL, besides working directly with the console/command line, I use the single-web-page admin interface, adminer, but, that runs against a localised dev. web server running here on my machine, either under XAMPP or WAMP web server implementations.


If you're talking about something similar to microsoft access database interface, which is accessible, then am not too sure about that side of it, but, what about something under iether oepnOffice or libreOffice?


And, haven't checked out MS Accessess myself for quite a long while, but, do at times work with excel spreadsheets?


Stay well

Hello All!

I know that this question has come up on list many times.

I would like to be able to create/process database files.

Is there any database software paid/free that is accessible with NVDA? I know that database software is so graphical in its nature that its controls are not accessible to screen readers! But, there has to be a way for the blind to be able to use database software for work/home purposes?

Hopefully, since the last time this question was asked someone has actually found NVDA database accessible software? Or, accessible database software that is accessible in any other screen reader?

Thank You! For all your recommendations!!!
