moving to NVDA
Josh Kennedy
If NVDA had a jaws layout addon and a window eyes layout addon then it would work. or you could go into the input gestures dialog box and change NVDA keyboard gestures. that's the only way I can think of to do such changes.

Hi,
I have a suggestion: replace old browse/focus mode sounds with sounds, which were asigned to start/stop NVDA. For start/stop NVDA, please, please use old piano sounds. regards, Jožef

Hi Nicos I recently came across a Dell laptop where the application key was accessed using the FN key + right control.

Hi. My hp from 2012 running windows 7 had sound problems. It was running beats audio sound card with its own drivers. At the end I had to disable the beats audio sound and enable the generic windows sound driver. The sound is not as good now but at least it is more responsive. I don't even remember how I did this I found instructions on youtube. Another thing that I don't like on laptops these days which hasn't got anything to do with sound is the fact that they don't include the applications key any more. Very annoying. And finally the fact that you have to press the fn key in combination with the function keys to perform windows functions such as rename, refresh etc. I know you can fix this from the bios but you need sighted assistance to do it. I think they are getting worst instead of any better. Nikos

Re: Moving to NVDA
Gene
It isn't practical for NVDA to have different
layouts, one for JAWS, one for Window-eyes. the actual NVEDA layout and then two
more laptop layouts as well. In addition, why do you say it would make
much difference. If you know JAWS, and you evidently do, look at how many
commonly used commands are the same or similar. Time is NVDA key
f12. Read title bar is NVDA key t. Read to end is NVDA key down
arrow. The only difference is that you have to use the down arrow key on
the main keyboard. You can't use the down arrow key on the numpad.
Most of the commands people use are Windows or program commands, regardless of
screen-reader being used.
For Window-eyes users, there aren't that many
different commands to learn.
And regardless of previous screen-reader, object
navigation and screen review commands are different in NVDA. A lot of
people, whether they would benefit from knowing screen review and/or object
navigation, never learn either, regardless of which screen-reader they are
using.
If you tell us specifically what you would find
easier, we can address those specific commands. But the general contention
that having all sorts of different layouts in NVDA is not practical nor would it
be very helpful. I consider the Window-eyes JAWS emulation layout to be a
gimmick that actually works against people learning Window-eyes fully since the
JAWS emulation doesn't incorporate all the Window-eyes commands.

and Jaws. One thing that would make this move so much easier is NVDA having a keyboard layout for Window Eyes and Jaws. Window Eyes had a Jaws keyboard layout to make Jaws user to also use WE.

I don't know if the Braille part of the site was corrected. When did you check last? As I said, in an earlier message, the mobile part of the Weather Underground site has worked properly for three or four weeks.

Anybody out there using NVDA with Office 2003?
I have a report from one of our users saying that Outlook 2003 freezes when opening a message. Sorry but at the moment no time available for gathering logs.
Our solution for now is to reinstall 2017.1 and switch off automatic updates.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
