i use only libreoffice and i believe that no need to continue using
microsoft office with this great and accessible open source office
program.

Hi All,

I used system restore to go back to a pre office 2013 installation setting
and NVDA started reading again. Basically it had stopped reading all buttons
and would announce unknown and for links and context menus it stopped
reading all together.

In case any of you have faced this problem or know aanything about it please
let me know.

Hi All,

I am using NVDA 2016.1 with Windows 10 and it was working perfectly till
last Wednesday.

On Wednesday I installed MS Office 2013 Professional+, since then NVDA has
encountered the following issues and basically become unusable:
1. It has stopped reading the taskbar items and just announces Unknown
2. It has stopped reading the context menu on the Start button
3. It has stopped reading every thing in Skype ie contacts, recents, chats
and everything except for announcing Skype when I alt + tab to it
4 In outlook if I hit the application key it reads the context menu
quickly but if I arrow down to any item it does not read it

I am not sure why this is happenning and if it is due to the office
installation or a windows update.

I will really appreciate any help. Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards
Mohit

Hi Rosemary,
I am sure it will - there has already been significant interest in a
regional Indian community about availing similar training material and
modules in the Gujarati language for the benefit of their convenience.
Discussions are going on there currently, and I am about to send them
the link of Basic Training for NVDA ebook and its sample chapters as
requested.
I also recall a particular member, perhaps you Rosemary or most likely
someone else, that certain hearing cum visually impaired computer
users were struggling to switch to NVDA due to lack of textual
documentation, which is a problem solved now.
Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for the fast reply. With this training material, I think trying to
promote NVDA in a country like Thailand where most visually-impaired users
still use Jaws should be easier as they would at least know there is a
reliable training material to refer to, albeit in English, which may pose a
problem for visually-impaired Thais who can't understand English well, but
hopefully one day this material will be translated into other languages
including Thai.

Having used NVDA for a while, and having actually used it in real-world
situation in the classroom, I'm now feeling confident to actually start
promoting NVDA on a large-scale in Thailand, with the goal of it eventually
replacing Jaws as the main screen reader for blind people in Thailand.

Re: Question Regarding Eloquence for NVDA from Code Factory

Ron Canazzi
 

Hi Group,

As per list instructions, I will not promote, defend usage of or initiate discussion of the said 'illegal' version of Eloquence that is rather popular among users of all kinds. Without getting too political, my biggest beef with the situation is the the copyright/patent holders (after transfer numberous times--I forget who it is now) they ban unauthorized usage, but won't sell it via single or group license to anyone who doesn't already have it like Freedom Scientific and G.W. Micro/whatever the company name is for the new conglomerate.

The Code factory SAPI 5 is passable and I have indeed purchased a copy. I downloaded a demo of the legal version synthesizer from Code Factory and it has numerous issues--many of which have already been discussed on this list. When I e-mailed Code Factory a number of times about future updates and whether or not I could test them with a new demo for 7 days, I received no responses. (Maybe there's a language barrier--since the page is obviously written by non English speakers--but It's difficult to definitively determine.)

Just my 2 centavos.

actually faces many issues. The most important one is the group of crashing

required to add a lot of abriviations which are used today.
When I see all these issues, I don't feel like buying it because the money

I would rather prefer to buy another TTS like Ivona or acapela because I
have eloquence and it is working pretty good.

Basic NVDA Training ebook

Mallard <mallard@...>
 

Hello Quentin,

I'm going through the book very thoroughly, because I want to use it to help a friend get started with NVDA, and I don't want to miss any important steps.

I used to work at IBM as a translator in the days when there were "real" technical writers, who could write "real" user's manuals.

I hadn't seen such a well-written, thorough, and complete manual since those days.

I wish to publicly acknowledge the value of this tool, for both beginners and more advanced users.

I would like to encourage whoever can to buy this guide. If you feel you don't need it yourself, consider giving a copy as a valuable gift to someone else, perhaps a friend who can't afford buying it, or simply someone you care for.

This book takes nothing for granted. It explains things and terms in detail, without being pedantic or too verbose. It's just perfect.
Said by someone who spent quite a nice slice of ehr life translating such manuals into Italian... (big grin).

Thanks again to anyone who's contributed to this resource and made it possible.

I'm looking forward to any future material coming from you.

Ciao, with lots of gratitude,
Ollie

Re: Any updates on Weather Plus?

Rémy Ruiz
 

Hi everybody,

FYI:
Weather plus no longer works any more...

the author of the addon tells us

Hi to every one,

Unfortunately yahoo, in this month has decided to distort the services offered by its APIS and Wp now no longer works.
Now to get all the data it is necessary to make a cycle of calls, and this in addition to increase the waiting time of response, also requires a appkeyy obtainable through registration.
To adapt WP to the use of the new API should distort heavily the code...
So that I can write a new Addon and now I have found and I am studying a new service API that seems to promise good and which I hope can afford to completely, replace Weather Plus.
This is:
http://api.openweathermap.org.

Adriano.

In this page is a oldest version...

Re: Why is installing an addon on firefox such a nightmare!

Robert Mendoza
 

Prior to the release of verssion 43 in Firefox, the mozilla firefox team announce a strict compliance that all the addons and extensions should be reviewed and signed with them in order to meet the qualification of the security features being added on the later version of Firefox browser. However, there are some steps or modification in the setup of the mentioned browser in which will void the security features but again, this could be prevalent to installing malware or unwanted toolbars from your browsers that can cause of risk that may cause your browser performance or potential threats as well of your machine. In addition, the below link that was being discussed here earlier is the alternative work around in order to use the full function of the new version of Firefox as long as you have a valid credentials to use webvism.

Hello to all. Last night I tried to reinstall webvisum, as I have
just baught a new computer. When ever I press the install link, the
notifaction to allow firefox to install the addon comes. I've tried
pressing alt+a several times, and I've tried pressing the space bar
or

I don't remember seeing any other complaints about this from
anyone,
so is it only me getting something so basic wrong?

I am using NVDA 2016.1 with Windows 10 and it was working perfectly till
last Wednesday.

On Wednesday I installed MS Office 2013 Professional+, since then NVDA has
encountered the following issues and basically become unusable:
1. It has stopped reading the taskbar items and just announces Unknown
2. It has stopped reading the context menu on the Start button
3. It has stopped reading every thing in Skype ie contacts, recents, chats
and everything except for announcing Skype when I alt + tab to it
4 In outlook if I hit the application key it reads the context menu
quickly but if I arrow down to any item it does not read it

I am not sure why this is happenning and if it is due to the office
installation or a windows update.

I will really appreciate any help. Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards
Mohit

Hi,

Recently, there was a discussion about alternative voices for NVDA, such as Code Factory's add-on with Eloquence and Vocalizer. I mentioned that when I tried this particular product, I noticed that Eloquence sounded quite choppy compared to other screen readers and other synths I have for NVDA on my machine running Windows 7.
I also never experienced this with Code Factory's SAPI 5 implementation.
Anyway, I got thinking about it this evening, and decided to do some searching to see if anyone else was experiencing similar issues. I found a thread about the add-on in the old NVDA list's archive, and saw a message stating that the choppiness would go away once the product was paid for. I was just wondering if this is indeed the case? If yes, it's not what I'd consider the best way to limit a trial version, but I might buy it after all.

Thanks.

Hi, Pauline,
 
Windows live mail worked well for me when I had windows 7. It was when I upgraded to windows 10 when I started having issues with it. I waited awhile before trying it again. For some strange reason, NVDA doesn’t see the message body when you try to reply to a message. You’re taken to the “to” field. I have to either hit the alt key twice or hit alt M and enter to see the message body.
