Problem with Edge
Lee Jones
Dear List, I want to use NVDA with edge on windows ten home but it just keeps telling me that it can’t open the app. I have read online that you can’t access edge from a built in administrator account. It won’t let me create another account to sign in with. I think the only way to do it is to edit the registry. This is a daunting prospect. Could some kind soul explain how you edit the registery with NVDA so that edge will open.
Many Thanks, Lee

Re: Footnotes in Word Documents
Quentin Christensen
Which version of Word are you using? In recent versions of Word, it's alt+s then H, and you can arrow through or press control+down arrow to jump from one footnote to the next. You can get back by pressing the applications key and then G for 'Go to footnotes". Regards Quentin.

It could be that it restarts to remove files, but I've yet to find an inti virus that is so anti user that it does not tell the user what its doing and why.

Many computers for companies simply do not allow any installation except by the admins through an agreed system, but as I said, normally big warnings come up about his if you try, not a restart of the machine after all if it was a malware program its too late by then!

To be honest my annoyance with ads is that they seem not to abide by the accessibility rules site writers do, negating their work.

Funny you should say that. I have an old address on one of the nvda lists I need to unsubscribe, but since the send is now inoperative on the account, no amount of spoofing through a working one will get a message to the server to unsubscribe it. Great fun.

Well, it obviously runs ok or you could not install it, so does it work ok if its a temporary version in which case one needs to set logging to debug somehow to see if anything sinister is going on.

Can you disable the anti virus temporarily just to rule it out? Shutting down seems a rather counter intuitive thing to do. Normally a security program merely cripples the process. Brian bglists@...

Re: Windows 7 shuts down when starting NVDA
Hmmm well firstly is nvda being thought as a virus.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Failing that are you sure you have access ie has nvda been allowed the right permitions, if its doing this on your own laptop, I'd think something was screwing about. I had this on a couple desktops. In one case the graphis card was mangled and needed replacing. On the other, there was a faulty fan. In both cases the shop we took it to did a reformat after replacing the various hardware cards and such which fixed the problem. Something is clearly conflicting. However since this a company unit and not your own, while a reformat will fix it and make it work its not your problem. Its your it guy's issue thats what they are payed for ask your admin and see what they say it may be they need to do something themselves.

Re: Reading Code in Web Pages
Gene
I don't know how or if tweaking the way no Script
works on sites can work around such problems. I don't use No Script but
I've tried it to see how it works and is set up. My recollection is
that you have to learn or figure out the interface but that you can block or
allow all sorts of things on any site. There are default settings and then
you can change settings for any site. You can allow some scripts to run
and not allow commercials to be displayed or redirections to occur that rely on
JAVA script.
I'm not recommending either use of or not
recommending use of No Script. I haven't used it enough to know how easy
or difficult it is to control such things. I do know that there is a
setting to allow scripts to run but to stop various dangerous actions on a
site. So I'm saying that it might be a good idea for people to learn about
the program. And, because I believe that many users who are not advanced
users may have problems, some sort of tutorial about it would be a good
idea.

Re: Reading Code in Web Pages
Actually noscript does help in firefox you can get round some sites but yeah adds are here to stay.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I don't mind adds, I mean when I watch tv, youtube streams, even listen to events on radio there are adds. In windows you can turn a lot of that off, but windows and a lot of ms stuff are services so adds and extra news and apps are the norm. So adds don't worry me. The issue is that net adds do not have the same laws as standard postals, ie you don't usually get adds to buy a girl or the next bigger penis on your postal mail and you never get ransom notes and or scams without it getting caught. If you get malware and spyware in adds well heck 99.9% of the time at least when this stuff went on in 1995-2005 that wasn't a problem tghe problem is that anyone can be anyone and then there is the fact that computer and net adds are notorious for ransomware, malware and viruses, I don't even run on the joke lists anymore as I sued to for fear of them. Back in 1996 I pulled some music off what was then mp3.com, and got subscribed to their news and lots of popups in which I had to rate their stuff at the end of it, I got a popup thanking me and asking for my address so I could get a cd of my interests in music, Shortly after that all popups went away. The stuff on my system went away and so did the site, never the less I got a cd not full of what I ordered but a bunch of weird music but I did get one, still have it. If I ever got into that sort of thing now I'd run a mile or if I was to late I would have to take the computer to get fixed. Sadly a lot of the lagit adds died out with free internet revolution back in 2000 On that note has anyone tried the barebones kaspersky free, its nothing on the end of payed but aparently is for home users, has web protection, email, download protection, and a few basics for the home user. Its not the business thing but if you don't handle messages as such it may be ok.

I always say that our money shoul be as good as anyone elses, and if they really want to sell through advertising then the least they could do is make them benign as far as screenreaders are concerned.

Proposal: add-ons festival in September
Hi all, mostly for those involved in the add-ons community,
A few weeks ago Derek Riemer and I had a discussion regarding an event to encourage add-on authors to mingle together and new developers to hear talks from prominent add-on writers regarding tips, tricks, new developments and what not. Due to our busy schedule with DictationBridge and other projects (and in my case, transferring to a new school), we didn’t have time to put this proposal into paper, but I think it is better to do it now:
One of the highlights from NVDACon 2016 was an event called “Add-ons Festival” where add-on authors would host a town hall style meeting with users of their add-ons. In 2016, I (Joseph Lee) and Derek Riemer held such meetings during our annual conference. The response was phenomenal and people suggested a similar event to be held during NVDACon 2017, but it did not happen due to time constraints. As a way to bring Add-ons Festival suggestion to life again and to give users a chance to meet authors of their favorite add-ons, as well as for veterans to teach the next generation of add-on writers, Derek and I propose that we hold the 2017 NVDA Add-ons Festival in September, likely towards end of that month.
The overall goal of this event is networking and building relationships. As much as Python code matters, what matters more is forging relationships between add-on writers and users, and amongst authors themselves. Also, as we have add-ons that are planning to support Python 3, wxPython 4 and what not, as well as bring finishing touches to Project Contact Lenses (engaging with scripters of other screen readers), I felt we should have seminars for those who’d like to learn more about Python 3 transition and a lab for scripters of other screen readers to get a hands-on training on how to write NVDA add-ons and/or port their existing scripts to NVDA world.
At the moment the biggest issues are date, time, and venue. I am willing to let the community use my TeamTalk server again (josephsl.net), then we run into coming up with sensible date and time where majority of us can socialize. We also need to recruit presenters and seminar hosts, with the ideal case being some add-on writers holding a seminar for users of their add-ons. For example, if Noelia decides to hold a meeting with users of her add-ons, users of Place Markers, Clip Contents Designer and what not can talk to her and provide suggestions. Similarly, I’d be happy to hold a seminar for users of a variety of add-ons, including StationPlaylist Studio, Windows 10 App Essentials, GoldWave and what not.
Comments on this proposal are appreciated. Cheers, Joseph

Seeking Tips on Installing OneCore Voices for Use With NVDA Snapshots

Windows 10 Maps Question
Laughing Thunder
Hi,
In the Windows 10 App Essentials add-on help, it says "When using street side view and if "use keyboard" option is enabled, NVDA will announce street addresses as you use arrow keys to navigate the map." Where is the use keyboard option? I don't see it in the maps app or the Windows 10 App Essentials preferences. I can get into street side view, but no addresses are announced, so I can only conclude that this feature doesn't work as described. Thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
