Re: Question about reading a whole row with nvda in excel

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Gene,

There isn't a direct command, but a workaround is:

1. Press SHIFT+SPACEBAR to select the row
2. Press control+c to copy it to the clipboard
3. Press NVDA+c to read the clipboard

This will read the whole row as one block of text.  Note that it will overwrite anything you already had on the clipboard.  It also reads the values of cells, not formulas.  If you want formulas read, press control+` (control+grav) to toggle between showing values and formulas before copying the row.

Similarly, if you want to read the column, press control+spacebar instead of shift+spacebar at step 1.

Kind regards

Quentin.

i thik i did see some body ask a question like this but did not see the
result.


is there such a command? or is there a ticket to do this?


The question is below from the person that asked me.


I’m wondering if you know of a command to get NVDA to read an entire row
in an excel worksheet? Seemingly, I can only get it to read the current
cell, but would like it to read at least all that is visible  on the row
that I am on.


Thanks for any help.

Re: might be OT: image file descriptions

Antony Stone
 

I was aware of Exif, but I thought this was purely used for technical
information about the camera, settings, date & time, and maybe any post-
processing that's been done on the image.

I didn't realise it had a free-form text field for image descriptions.

I hope you find some image manipulation software which allows this to be
edited.

Hello chaps, Alasdair here from WebbIE.

The BBC have killed their 7-day TV listings: you get "Maintenance
mode: From April 18, 2017, the BBC is no longer able to offer XML, RDF and iCalendar (.ics) views of programme metadata from this location."

This means that the BBC iPlayer TV program from WebbIE is affected.
The listings per-station are all broken - BBC 1, BBC 2, and so on.
However, the Audio Described section is unaffected, because the program does not use the listings - it goes to the website and screen-scrapes. (Though I note it needs some tender loving care).

I can't see that the Radio side is affected - there are still programmes from yesterday, for example.

Re: Scanning and Reading PDF files

Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
 

OCR isn't necessary if the person who makes the pdf file puts text into the pdf. Only if the person who prepars the pdf puts images of text in it does OCR need to be run on the pdf file. Most pdf files are created with plain text, and are therefore readable by screen readers. It's only those folks who use screen shots, or graphical representations of text that can't be read directly by screen readers. If you use the control-p command, and tell windows to print to a pdf, as long as you're printing text, it will produce a pdf file that is readable by anyone using a screen reader. If you're using a program that represents text as images (such as most desktop publishing programs), then you will get a graphic picture of the text, and in that case, OCR will be necessary to read the text.

Subject: FW: MathPlayer Question

Folks,

I am coming around to the view that the best way to read mathematics on the
web and in Word is NVDA with MathPlayer.

I have attached a MathPlayer tutorial which I obtained from
"https://www.dessci.com/en/reference/ies-ets/instructional_material/MathPlay
er_Navigation_Tutorial.docx".

I find that the equations in this file are read orally correctly, but are
not shown in Braille correctly. I was wondering if the security settings
are not correct. Sometimes when you download files from the web, the
security settings are set to be restrictive. You can see these settings by
opening the file, and hitting f6 a couple of times to take your view to a
security message frame. I have set the settings to be as open as possible.

If you do not have a Braille display, then you can't see the effect.

Can you see this effect?

I am using NVDA 17.1, Windows 10 creators release, and Word 365 run locally.

Things work fine on other word mathematical files, and on the web.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Scanning and Reading PDF files

Screen-readers can't read images or pictures of text.  Anything that is read using any program is real text, consisting of computer code for the text.  If you open a PDF document and NVDA reads it, it is real text.  No OCR is necessary.  If you open a document and it’s a picture of text, you must perform OCR on it.

Insert+Down Arrow will also successful read through the link.

However, it is saying "link" and "out of link" constantl when getting to the hyperlinks.

Perhaps there is a way to get it to not comment on HTML anchors and also bullet

I don't know of any way to stop such information from being read but it has nothing to do with the links reading problem.  If you are using the read to end command and you have the problem, then that isn't expected behavior.  If you are doing something else to cause NVDA to read, then we would have to know what that is and the behavior may be expected or not tested for.
 
To run NVDA without add ons, use the command insert q.  You can use either insert.  A dialog will come up.  choose run NVDA without add ons and activate the ok button or yes button or whatever the dialog provides.  NVDA will close and then run itself with no add ons.  You can close and restart NVDA to have it run normally with add ons again.

Okay, I've been troubleshooting a little.

I haven't figured how to run NVDA without add-ons, so I should probably try
that also.

With the Code Factory add-on, it is reading a lot of the formatting of PDF's
and websites, which I think is the problem.

For instance, every time it gets to a bullet point, it will say the word "bullet".

Is there a way to stop this?  I think if I fix that it will fix the hyperlinks 
problem also.

Do you know how to run NVDA with no add ons?  Doing that would tell you if an add on is causing the problem.  If so, you can then disable one add on at a time until you find the one.  Are you using the standard read to end command, NVDA key down arrow or reading using some other procedure.  This is essential information in discussing the problem.

FW: MathPlayer Question

Louis Maher <ljmaher@...>
 

Folks,

I am coming around to the view that the best way to read mathematics on the
web and in Word is NVDA with MathPlayer.

I have attached a MathPlayer tutorial which I obtained from
"https://www.dessci.com/en/reference/ies-ets/instructional_material/MathPlay
er_Navigation_Tutorial.docx".

I find that the equations in this file are read orally correctly, but are
not shown in Braille correctly. I was wondering if the security settings
are not correct. Sometimes when you download files from the web, the
security settings are set to be restrictive. You can see these settings by
opening the file, and hitting f6 a couple of times to take your view to a
security message frame. I have set the settings to be as open as possible.

If you do not have a Braille display, then you can't see the effect.

Can you see this effect?

I am using NVDA 17.1, Windows 10 creators release, and Word 365 run locally.

Things work fine on other word mathematical files, and on the web.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards

Is this a new computer? If everything else concerning web navigation is
working, then I wonder if a very specific part of what used to be called
MSAA Mode and now is called, I think, UI automation is corrupted on the
computer? It may be that installing certain files might correct the
problem. We'll see what others say.

Subject: [nvda] Single key navigation not working





Hi,




I am unable to use the single letter key navigation on web sites. I have
tried with internet explorer, Firefox, and google chrome.




I just got this desk top computer and have windows 10 home. I downloaded
NVDA from my portable flash drive, which was working fine on my old computer
with windows 10.




Any suggestions will be appreciated.




Thanks,




Wayne

hello.
i use firefox 52 and for me also, webvisum does not work.
is it possible that webvisum only works with usual version of firefox
not ESR version?
