I totally agreed with Gene Nz about his message. These are the fact
that we are facing here in the 3rd world country. I am not ashamed for
where I live for, but before I lost my sight I could able to work in
multi-company and globally had experience for 10 years in computing.
Until such time and due to in forbidden circumstances I lost my sight
in
2012 which forced me to stopped, and need to recuperate after the very
extensive illness. And it took me for two years to get back again in
the cyberspace for some reason I was looking for resources that could
aid my mobility but it turns out that there is little chance I got
from the local agency here. Though there is NGO or non-profit offices
helping blind people here but it is not sufficient to provide all the
adaptive devices that I could used with so rather to spend me and used
my saving instead to buy new machine but again the problem never stop
cause I need a screen reader. We have jaws that is available here but
kinda expensive and with the help of my family and good friends they
searched for nvda that is free. That is how my journey begin and
continue my passion in computing, and because of the determination and
will of passion in computers I get involve with other by helping
others who could not afford nor to have knowledge to use of computers
and etc in my own little way to share my knowledge into them. That is
my advocacy to propagate to used nvda as the alternative screen reader
instead of jaws but never forced them to strictly focus with other or
one screen instead just to explore there mind, and rather to look that
really suits on there needs. However, due to demand of
commercialization of rapid changes in the software they decided to use
nvda as there primary screen reader cause I may say nvda is likely to
be consider as premium applications to be reliable. And, that is how I
would took the opportunity to thanks all the contributors,developers,
and other agency to support nvda to continue developing to improves
ones life. To share this in order of us could have freedom to
communicate Again, having a choice is not a key here but how one
persons could have to be not to condemn others by not having not to
update to the software they wanted to use and not of us here forbids
if they like or prefer to used old or unsupported software. I am not
forcing them nor to promote as well pirated software here The idea is
that we aim for good relations instead of hatred by forcing them to update to were they could not afford.

We might be lucky and get funding or some one else pays the bill.


Not in our country here but i have seen people on the list where the
government will provide a braille display to ones who use braille. It
does not happen here and we are a first world country.

Here my disibility allowance will pay for a screen reader or video
magnifier if i need one but would rather use nvda for my screen reader.


You have to remember that there are people from other countries on
this list and they will be from a as they say a third world country.


they might be lucky and have a christian group or another purchase it
for them. Also the wages if any in some of these countries people in
a first world country would not even work for them.

They might even have to use pirated software for there screen reader
if they did not know of the nvda screen reader.


Only a couple of weeks ago i got contacted and a christian group was
going to buy a computer for a person I forgot the name of the country
but it was a third world one and they were also going to drop a copy
of nvda onto it. I also mentioned they could have as many copies of
nvda as they like for other computers etc I also said about the price
of jaws and they did not even want to go there.

Now they know of NVDA that could make a real difference when they go
into some of these countries. But only for the visually impaired and
blind.



I do agree things need to move on like going from a horse to a car
etc but not every one can do it and this is more in a third world country.


Just look around in a third world country and see how well we have
it. We complain when we have no internet or power for a short period
of time. Try patchy internet or maybe power for 2 hours a day or none.

We are lucky we are not in a war zone either.


Also you have to remember English might be a second language and it
might not come out right. yes there are translators you can use from
off the net if you have it.


it might not be the case of the one in the thread or it could be.


They should not have to justify either why they can not upgrade
either. If they mentioned it and they said they were from a third
world country you might be surprised how many there may be on the list.


have a look at the nvda user statistics then figure how many of them
are from them.


the link to this page is
http://community.nvda-project.org/usersByCountry.html
<http://community.nvda-project.org/usersByCountry.html>

I am not sure if all the countries are mentioned and they are the
ones where nvda can contact the internet each day.


If there is no internet or patchy internet it may be even higher the
amount of nvda users.


In countries like that would they even get funding for a screen
reader etc?


So yes some of us can afford to move on with upgrades to a computer
or buy a new one etc but not all of us can.

Hi, Brian,

I understand that there might be difficult situations as to why
people can't afford a new computer. What I have a problem with is
that this person expects the rest of us to conform to her world. She
expects developers to keep an old system going and that's
impossible. Like I said before, it's like asking a manufacturer to
keep developing parts for an old wringer washing machine when they
don't even make them anymore. There are organizations that are

Clutching on to long dead things is not normal nor is it healthy.   Even

Hi!
I use Chrome as my default browser. It works great with NVDA.
I did a text tutorial on using Chrome, and I could poste it to this

If you want it, just let me know.
I love Chrome, and NVDA works great with Edge for me,
Almost as well as Chrome.
Definitely try Edge with NVDA.

Subject: [nvda] firefox slower than chrome?

Hi folks.

Subject says it all. Lately, firefox seems to be really slow with nvda.

I've tryed the stable version, and nightly, and chrome seems to be much
faster.

I've even went so far, as to refresh/reinstall firefox.

I don't know what reviews you have read but they are wrong as a fact,
not as an opinion. It isn't a powerful screen-reader like JAWS or
Window-eyes. It was intended and designed to be simple to use and to
meet the needs of undemanding users. This was years ago before NVDA
was available but at that time, it was a considerably less expensive
alternative for those who didn't need a powerful screen-reader as just
System Access. Now, there is System Access to Go, which is System
Access, made available for free for use at times when you don't have
access to a screen-reader. At the time of release, It could do simple
word processing, work with at least some audio players. work well on
the Internet and it worked with Outlook Express. I don't know if the
program has changed to any significant extent over time but I would
imagine that it supports one or more current e-mail programs now and I
wouldn't be surprised if it supports at least one other current
browser, Firefox would be my bet if it supports other browsers.
With NVDA, there is little reason to use System Access to Go, which is
the Cloud version of System Acccess. You can try it for free and
another list member has sent instructions for how to begin. You may be
prompted about how to see help documentation as you proceed but if
not, you may ask here.
I haven't used it in years to any extent and the interface is
different now so I won't go into details. But for use on the Internet
if you are using a computer with no screen-reader, such as at a
friend's house, it is useful and now and then, there are sites that
work with it that don't work with other screen-readers. I almost
never need it any longer but it's good to have tools available in case you do.

How do you find System Access use? Reviews say it is difficult to get

program, it is interesting to explore the alternatives.

Just last week, I was filling out a survey on the Microsoft site using

9.54 to read the same survey and it read things without a hitch,
window eyes has saved me in a couple of earlier situations as well.

I don't know what reviews you have read but they are wrong as a fact,
not as an opinion. It isn't a powerful screen-reader like JAWS or
Window-eyes. It was intended and designed to be simple to use and to
meet the needs of undemanding users. This was years ago before NVDA
was available but at that time, it was a considerably less expensive
alternative for those who didn't need a powerful screen-reader as just
System Access. Now, there is System Access to Go, which is System
Access, made available for free for use at times when you don't have
access to a screen-reader. At the time of release, It could do simple
word processing, work with at least some audio players. work well on
the Internet and it worked with Outlook Express. I don't know if the
program has changed to any significant extent over time but I would
imagine that it supports one or more current e-mail programs now and I
wouldn't be surprised if it supports at least one other current
browser, Firefox would be my bet if it supports other browsers.
With NVDA, there is little reason to use System Access to Go, which is
the Cloud version of System Acccess. You can try it for free and
another list member has sent instructions for how to begin. You may be
prompted about how to see help documentation as you proceed but if
not, you may ask here.
I haven't used it in years to any extent and the interface is
different now so I won't go into details. But for use on the Internet
if you are using a computer with no screen-reader, such as at a
friend's house, it is useful and now and then, there are sites that
work with it that don't work with other screen-readers. I almost
never need it any longer but it's good to have tools available in case you do.

How do you find System Access use? Reviews say it is difficult to get
started and use. It isn't a program I have explored, but as I
transition from Window-Eyes to NVDA as my main computer access
program, it is interesting to explore the alternatives.

Just last week, I was filling out a survey on the Microsoft site using
NVDA and it didn't read things correctly. I switched to window eyes
9.54 to read the same survey and it read things without a hitch,
window eyes has saved me in a couple of earlier situations as well.
NVDA is still my main screen reader of choice, however, I'll say it

    Several years ago I tried system access but I did not like it.  All of my email would go to my system access email and not my email.  There sam net service was very expensive and my melwhearbytes found 4 trougens and they were all system access or sa and when I called them about I was told that it was a faults possitive.  I don't think so I trust melwhearbytes and what it  founds is true.  I had a 7 day free trial and that was the only time that I ever used that screen reader.  I was not impress with system access and I will not use a screen reader that gives me trogens and puts my email in to their email instead of my email program.  I did like the sam net service but it's way to expensive but there was lots of great content on it.

Brian Sackrider

There is another point that I'll make regarding System Access to Go.  I haven't used the program to any extent for years.  In the old days, it used Dectalk as it's default synthesizer.  These days, I believe it uses E-Speak.  It may be that to get access to Dectalk Speech or Eloquence speech, you will have to buy them.  You can buy them for use with System Access to Go and only System Access to Go from Sarotech (spelling) or you can use SAPI5 synthesizers on your machine.  I don't know if SAPI 4 is supported.  But if you hate E-Speak, you may be stuck with it or with Microsoft's default voice for your version of Windows unless you spend money.

Hi folks.

Subject says it all. Lately, firefox seems to be really slow with nvda.

I've tryed the stable version, and nightly, and chrome seems to be much

faster.

I've even went so far, as to refresh/reinstall firefox.

Hi Alessandro,
I am using LiClipse for a Python programming course I am currently
taking, since that was the IDE recommended to all of us visually
impaired screen reader users by our mentors.
Thanks.

I purchased System Access back in 2014. In 2015, I purchased DocuScanPlus. During 2016, I purchased System Access Mobile to be placed on a thumb drive.

After Window-Eyes was discontinued, this gave me access to Dectalk with System Access.
I am happy with these products because all software updates are free. Both System Access and DocuScanPlus are installed on a desktop and laptop computer. Both computers are running Windows 10.

In the past, I have used SATOGO. I have not purchased their email and other access information.
