Hi Brian,
Windows Remote Desktop connection works great with NVDA. It just needs
a NVDA copy installed on the remote computer. I log into the remote
system via remote desktop, hit control-alt-n and then I can manage the
remote computer.
Windows remote desktop sends the sound back to me, since windows
remote desktop deals with sound redirection as well.
You can switch between the remote desktop and your own desktop by
pressing control-alt-pause and also the clipboard is being transferred
between local and remote computer.

Cheers,
Ralf

Hi

no matter which one it is set to wheather it is original html, simple or text view when composing a email when you go to insert a table it does that part ok and nvda will let you know how many rows etc.

but then it will keep on reading down the table and will not stop. you can not interact with it either.

I have not tried it with a reply email but am guessing you will get the same result.

if it is in the email you got from some one i guess it will read correctly and i am sure you can then see what is in those cells. I will have a play. Looks like a ticket that will have to be done.

Hi guys


I had a phone call this morning from a local newspaper who came out to

do

an
interview out of the blue.
It is about the first person in New Zealand getting the NVDA expert
certification. I was a bit surprised, but pretty happy with the article
itself!

The article is about the certificate and some other NVDA related

articles

and a little bit pointing towards the Accessibility Central website

where

people can find more information on NVDA and other blindness related
topics.

So, hopefully NVaccess has some more hits coming their way as well as

the

word getting out more about NVDA!

Hi

what is your message body set to?? The message body can be found under the view menu then message body. is it set to the first option? I think it is called original html.

Hi
I can no longer get NVDA to read my HTML emails in Thunderbird one line at a time. This means it is impossible for me to edit parts of the email. It will only read the email from start to finish.  It is a HTML table with several rows. It won't even read one character at a time, only the whole table.
May be a very simple answer but I am not a tech genius and cannot find an answer in the user guide. As I am running a business from home this issue is causing great frustration. Worked perfectly fine in the past and fine in plain text emails.
Not sure if issues started with latest update of NVDA as have auto update on, same with Thunderbird, so all current versions installed. Using desktop with Windows 10.
Or it may have changed as every so often NVDA crashes and resets to factory defaults. And will not re install my saved profile as well for some reason and as so many preferences I cannot remember them all! So perhaps just needs the right option ticked in settings.  But which one?
Please help, thanks
Justine

Anthony Hello,

Have you tried pressing nvda key and f12 key very quickly twice inorder to hear the day and date.

Keep your finger down on nvda key  while you quickly dab it twice.

Hope it works.

Sakina

Hi,

Time-out problem, I think. Tyler or other gurus, any thoughts?

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi joseph

I disabled and enabled the add-ons as you explained to me, but the problem remained there even with the sticky keys turned off.

To remind you again what is the problem, when I press the insert plus f12 to check the time it works, but when I press it twice to read me out the date it doesn’t work.

And that happens withother commands where I have to press them more than once.

Thanks in advance

Anthony   

Hi,

And sticky keys option in Ease of Access isn’t helping, and did restarting NVDA (both with add-ons enabled and disabled) improve the situation?

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi joseph

I am a single handedperson so to be able to use my laptop keyboard I need to use the sticky keys.  

My problem is that I am noticing that the sticky keys are interfering with the capslock, 

And the other problem is when I come for example to press the insert plus f12 twice to check the date it doesn’t work.

And that happens also with the other commands that we have to press them once, twice and more to do do certain things.

In my opinion the sticky keys are not working as they should with NVDA.

Can you please do something about it to be resolved?

I hope you will be able to understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance

Anthony  

Dear NVDA community:

For those on NVDA users and add-ons lists: a few days ago I announced Project Hidden Singer/Big Bang, a project to restructure code in Windows 10 App Essentials and say goodbye to old workarounds. This is partly motivated by the fact that, with NVDA 2017.3, features from this add-on will make their debut as part of the screen reader itself, so the add-on is no longer required for some major tasks. The below announcement is just a first step in this project, with the complete picture emerging by September 2017.

Announcement text:

As part of NVDA 2017.3, NV Access, together with Joseph Lee, a Windows Insider and a noted NVDA expert in United States, have developed a set of features designed to improve user experience for Windows 10 users using NVDA. Prior to the upcoming release, an add-on called Windows 10 app Essentials have included features such as sounds to indicate appearance of search suggestions, announcing top search suggestion in braille and various workarounds for Windows 10 and various universal apps. Joseph, the author of the Windows 10 App Essentials, is delighted to announce that these features will be part of upcoming NVDA 2017.3, scheduled to hit the air sometime in August 2017.

As part of this work, I (Joseph Lee) would like to announce three important things:

1. A fall release of Windows 10 App Essentials add-on will require NVDA 2017.3. This will be in place no later than October 2017.
2. For those using NVDA snapshots (master and/or next), a new “pilot development” channel will be introduced. You may occasionally hear references to “try builds”, “fast ring snapshots” and what not, but in context of this add-on, it all refers to the pilot channel. This channel will not show up in update channel list, as this channel is designed to receive continuous feedback i.e. this channel requires NVDA snapshots. Anyone using development channel of this add-on along with NVDA master or next snapshots will be moved to this channel, as code in this channel parts ways with compatibility layer code, as changes made to NVDA snapshots will be reflected in these builds. If you are using Windows 10 App Essentials development snapshots under NVDA stable (2017.2, for example), you’ll stay in development channel (sometimes called “slow ring”) in order to preserve compatibility layer routines.
3. Speaking of snapshot combinations: starting from June 28^th WinTenApps snapshot, those on pilot development channel will get a build that is equivalent to NVDA next snapshots. This snapshot removes compatibility layer in place for search suggestion announcement, as this is no longer required if you are on latest master and/or next snapshots as NVDA itself will handle this for you.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph

I am having some problems with expanding combo boxes using the latest Version of NVDA on a Win 10 system. With Window Eyes when on a combo box you pressed enter then expanded it with alt downarrow.
Thanks

Just to clarify - Control F5 refreshes the content of the current window or
tab - it has nothing to do with refreshing Firefox itself.

The question "will that refresh the current version or any version of
Firefox?" makes me wonder whether someone thinks this is going to upgrade
Firefox itself to a new version.

It won't.

Or, is there a keyboard tutorial somewhere online that provides step by

Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes - they are "zero rated".
Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are classed as "luxury items" and are
subject to VAT. McVitie's classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991 this
was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise in court.

The question which had to be answered was what criteria should be used to
class something as a cake or a biscuit. McVitie's defended the classification
of Jaffa Cakes as a cake by arguing that cakes go hard when stale, whereas
biscuits go soft. It was demonstrated that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale
and McVitie's won the case.

Please reply to the list;
please *don't* CC me.
