The issues are much the same as why nvda had to drop them. they need to make the best code and that means using the core of windows that the tools they build the software with uses, normally those in currently supported versions of windows.

One of the basic problems in my view is that even when used, most people making pdfs never tag them for reading order when it changes its number of columns or reorders pages to print order.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Others admit to me that they just use a printer driver that makes pdfs from the printer output, and hence they have no control at all. I do use the pdf reader from webbie, but that only allows text content to be read assuming everything is the same all through the file. PDFs are a known bad practice aspect here in the UK and I notice that were organisations are clued in they normally make word 97 doc versions available as well, though even those if the author uses text boxes and hideously large tables can be awful to read for us.

You might also approach Jonathon Mosen, as I see he promotes this software for his tutorials and webinars, and it might suit him if he could get it to work as it apparently does in Jaws.

In case of Microsoft Active Accessibility or IAccessible, it usually refers to exposing correct info about a control for screen readers and raising appropriate events. By default, NVDA will not automatically announce when something happens on screen unless NVDA is told to keep an eye on events that programs raise. Regarding the program in question: I advise contacting NV Access and see if they can take a look at it for a fee, or if a free version or a demo can be downloaded, let one of us take a look at it and provide recommendations (unfortunately, due to various commitments, I won't be able to do that at this time).

It's using MSAA and NVDA supports that. I thought the whole point of MSAA is that things get exposed to screen readers. I have no idea what the Zoom meeting thingy is so I can't really help beyond that, but my understanding was that MSAA just exposes things to screen readers and such.

Re: dictation on the fly windows key plus h
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
I have a feeling both of these items are ports over from the cloud services often encountered in smart phones, certainly I believe the seeing AI app available in the US uses the read text part that you describe here. I personally feel that as there has been a history of Microsoft changing such things when they first appear it might be prudent to wait for it to be stable. I'm not totally sure if this sort of service will r3emain free either.

as for nvda not saying anything till its finished. This would need somebody to find out how the program indicates start and end of dictation or how would it know when to fall back to normal?

You can turn off dts with sighted help but I'd honestly wouldn't turn it off, the speech is not to bad but the sound sort of sucks without dts I actually like dts better than sps premium or the waves max on del that really sucks, dts is not to bad.

Chances are that your effects are on also volumes and such are defaulted, a smattering of privacy settings file associations players, etc are defaulted and I needed to reinstall the klite mega codec pack and set things to how I wanted it codec wise.
