Does anyone know how to save application settings in NVDA. I find the manual a bit confusing when it comes to this...I believe a profile needs to be created and I would like that it be triggered by a specific application but when do I choose the settings & save?

Thanks

Hey everyone,

While using NVDA on my Surface 3 running Windows 8.1, I noticed the following issues.

1. From time to time NVDA won't announce the item selected in File Explorer.

2. From time-to-time NVDA won't read items on the start screen (I actually posted about this back on freelists).

3. In the Command Prompt, NVDA reads all commands character-by-character, which is very annoying.

Is there fixes for the above issues? For the start screen issue I can use Classic Shell, but when I try typing a folder to open, E.G Downloads, it is usually not placed on the top of the search result, unlike with Windows 7's start menu where folders like 'Downloads' are placed on the top of the search result.

Hi, I would like to know if anyone have used XAMPP and Wamp Server with
NVDA. Do anyone do if one of them are accessible? Thanks.

I uninstalled it this morning. With the silence on inquiries into this being
so loud, I kind of figured it might be a lost cause at this point.
The site I use for my forecast now is Weather Underground Mobile:
http://m.wund.com/
Very accessible, and it's the same one, last I knew, that Jaws uses for its
research it for their weather.

Subject: [nvda] Weather Add On Still Not Working


Hi Group,

The new and exciting Weather Add On is still not working--now for about
48 hours. Does anyone have any further information about this? Who can
I contact to advise. Yahoo must have changed something.

Ppunctuation should be set to all in the following manner:

Issue the command NVDA key control v if using the desktop layout.

Tab arount the voice settings dialog that opens and set punctuation symbol level to all.  I think this setting should be called simply punctuation level in the program.  Of course punctuation is symbols.  It's redundant to use the word symbol and it may be annoying or confusing to some users.  There is no need to change any other settings.

Then tab to and activate the ok button.

When you want to return to the punctuation level you were using before, issue the command NVDA key control r to restore the previous configuration.

   No problem, glad I could help!
   Are you using nvda number pad cursor to read with
   or
   are you using the normal arrow keys to read?

   Try setting in nvda
   Preferences
   Voice settings...
   Punctuation/symbol level: all
   When Punctuation symbol level is set to all the arrow keys should
announce all arrow key presses.
   If not there might be a problem in the nvda installation.
I have mine set to some.
   The nvda reading cursor reading character by character reads all.
   I am not sure if I miss being able to set Punctuation symbol level
for different cursors like in jaws.

in
about:config
in fire fox one can change a lot of java settings, or even disable
java. Might try disabling java and see how that works, or if it
stops the page from working.

and ===== can be equally annoying :D
why not say ten equals instead of repeating over and over :(

Hi,

I have found one way :
add an entry in the dictionnary, with input
^empty$
(assuming nvda tells you empty for empty lines) replaced by nothing.
Select regular expression as type.

The side effect would be that it probably not read any line, button or
any other object containing only the word empty. But so far I have
found no better way.

Hi folks
Last question before Easter,
When reading texts line per line, NVDA always announces empty line when
it encounters one.
Can this be set off?

manual a bit confusing when it comes to this...I believe a profile needs

Thanks

You should just have the option in the main version if you wish to
update to a snap shot or not. I normally love grabbing the next build
as soon as I can.

Hi Chris
What I am talking about is the snap shot versions of nvda check for
snap shot updates them selves.
In that way the normal nvda dist users could just go on using the
normal nvda dist with out worrying if it will update to a snap shot.

Personaly i think it could be an good idea. I think many like me
often forgot to check for updates even for snapshot, so at least some
kind of notification would be apresiated.

How hard would it be from the official build, like in this case,
2016.1,
to put an option in the NVDA menu, maybe under Tools, that
automatically
like downloading updates would let the user download and install the
latest snapshot build rather than them having to go out to the web
site
and manually get it. Either that, or maybe under the General tab of
preferences, where you have the box to check or uncheck for
checking for
updates, maybe have another one that says download snapshot builds
when
updating.
What do you all think?

Thanks a lot Pete, you saved the day!

Any ideas on how do I make nvda read all the punctuation during say
all or while reading line by line? I need it as while coding, it
doesn't reads all the punctuation marks when I read line by line, so
I have to move character by character, and that takes a lot of time.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
