The pass through key is most often used when a web page or an application wants access to keystrokes which the Screenreader would normally reserve for itself.

The clearest example I can think of is YouTube where pressing K without a screenreader running will pause the video, J will skip back and L will skip forward.

If you want to access these keys function with a screenreader running you need to execute the pass through command first which will mean that the screenreader will ignore the keystroke and pass it straight through to the web page. So with NVDA running on YouTube use the pass through key command and then pressing K should pause the Video.

I think the tutorial I read was a different one. It was the one about basics of the DC reader with NVDA, not specifically about large documents. I’ll have to look at yours as well. Thanks.

Re: Reading PDF files with NVDA using acrobat? Or a web browser?

Mário Navarro
 

Hi Mary.
Welcome to windows 10.
Yes, any one of the alternatives work well on windows 10.
almost all work well at the moment.

PDF-reading experience on windows with NVDA and JAWS, is completely different than in mac os.
Yes dear Mary, you know as well as I, the misery that is the PDF accessibility support in mac os.
Welcome to a much better reading experience of PDF in windows!
cheers.

I am coming from an old windows XP machine where I used an old version of Adobe acrobat with good success on many PDF files. It let me navigate tables, access links, read continuously if I wanted to, page through the document, etc. i’m going to get a new Windows 10 machine, and I’m going to put NVDA on it and of course it will have narrator. I want to know which method work the best for reading PDF files. I understand they will open in edge if you want. And I assume the Adobe DC acrobat reader or whatever it’s called is also accessible. I gather the older readers are no longer supported. Anyway, I’m looking for something that will give me the best possible experience with the least possible hassle.

Hi!
As I write this, I can't remember the exact address to buy Vocalizer, so I
suggest you go to the following web page:
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/ExtraVoices
On that page are links to the sites where you can buy Vocalizer on its own,
the Eloquence and Vocalizer package, and other paid extra voices, as well as
links to download free voices.
Bye for now!

Hi!
I was a JAWS user for ten years before I switched to using NVDA full-time. I
used JAWS 3.5 on Windows 98 to begin with, then JAWS 6.20 on Windows XP. In
2010 my XP computer started having power issues, so I started using NVDA
more regularly on that computer because it used less power. That computer
finally gave up the ghost in 2011, so, as I couldn't afford to upgrade JAWS
for Windows 7, I switched to NVDA and have used that ever since. The only
thing which would make me use JAWS again is if I needed it for a particular
job, or if I was using someone else's computer which has JAWS but not NVDA,
but neither situation seems very likely for me right now.
As for add-ons, I use several, including Vocalizer, the add-on for Winamp,
and the add-on to read emoticons and emojis which are so often used these
days. There are lots of good add-ons out there, depending on what you want,
whether it's extra voices or extra functions.

Well I don't know about strengths and weaknesses. But my testimonial is that
I got sick of paying for jaws, so I decided to try NVDA for a month, I think
it was. There were a few times, mostly with installers or the like, where
I'd run into a situation where NVDA wouldn't read the screen, so I'd fire up
jaws. Jaws didn't read the screen either. I realized that NVDA was doing
everything I needed it to and jaws wasn't offering me any advantages that I
could see, so I switched. Pretty simple really. I have nothing against jaws,
used it for years, man I want to say from 3 or 4 or such.

As for addons, you might want to check out NVDA Remote. There's an addon for
Winamp and VLC. I've got Vocalizer for NVDA. The SysTrayList addon is nice,
but that's mostly because I can never remember if there's a quick way to get
to the system tray without it. NVDA works just fine without it, you can get
into the tray and right click and all, but the addon basically gives you the
equivalent of jaws-F11. A couple other jaws equivalents are Virtual Review
and Place Markers, the latter gives you place markers on web pages and some
other documents. Hope that helps.

and the add-on to read emoticons and emojis which are so often used these
days. There are lots of good add-ons out there, depending on what you want,
whether it's extra voices or extra functions.

Well I don't know about strengths and weaknesses. But my testimonial is that
I got sick of paying for jaws, so I decided to try NVDA for a month, I think
it was. There were a few times, mostly with installers or the like, where
I'd run into a situation where NVDA wouldn't read the screen, so I'd fire up
jaws. Jaws didn't read the screen either. I realized that NVDA was doing
everything I needed it to and jaws wasn't offering me any advantages that I
could see, so I switched. Pretty simple really. I have nothing against jaws,
used it for years, man I want to say from 3 or 4 or such.

As for addons, you might want to check out NVDA Remote. There's an addon for
Winamp and VLC. I've got Vocalizer for NVDA. The SysTrayList addon is nice,
but that's mostly because I can never remember if there's a quick way to get
to the system tray without it. NVDA works just fine without it, you can get
into the tray and right click and all, but the addon basically gives you the
equivalent of jaws-F11. A couple other jaws equivalents are Virtual Review
and Place Markers, the latter gives you place markers on web pages and some
other documents. Hope that helps.

Hi Clare

I am using NVDA for quite a while. Speaking about Vocaliser, where can I get
the add-on?

To be honest, I have been using computers for many years, but still am
rather stupid, I think, when it come to internet searches and such.

Have a nice day.

Hi. Thanks for the response. This seems a friendly and helpful community.

Just a quick question, Claire....I noticed there are two possible Vocalizer
add-ons: one packaged with Eloquence and made my Code Factory, the other
simply called "Nuance Vocalizer Expressive" or something like that. I'm
thinking of getting the second one so that I can get my favourite "premium
high quality" Daniel voice working with nVDA. But which one do you use?

Hi!
I was a JAWS user for ten years before I switched to using NVDA full-time. I
used JAWS 3.5 on Windows 98 to begin with, then JAWS 6.20 on Windows XP. In
2010 my XP computer started having power issues, so I started using NVDA
more regularly on that computer because it used less power. That computer
finally gave up the ghost in 2011, so, as I couldn't afford to upgrade JAWS
for Windows 7, I switched to NVDA and have used that ever since. The only
thing which would make me use JAWS again is if I needed it for a particular
job, or if I was using someone else's computer which has JAWS but not NVDA,
but neither situation seems very likely for me right now.

Re: Updated In-Process

Well since we are talking about that, when I was yung, the naibourhood was all set up, treats, sweets, fruit and artwork were the thing no randomness.

Later on when I got older the pasta disco parties, etc.

But just like the bbq on guyfalks night, with cash, people working and at school, it all went to the dogs as they say.

We used helloween as a party not as the actual thing.

We should probably use it to donate to the poor, I have religious friends that don't believe in magic and find it disgusting.

Others think its a waste of cash.

And to be honest just like fireworks night I have grown out of it.

THe origonal nabours are gone, and a lot of chinese, indian, maori and chinese have taken their place.

The community here is as dead as a zombie, we know a few people but everyone has their lives bar those that don't and get the cops about, however the only people I know are those I use for emergencies and thats not many.

It was fun when it lasted, but it like fireworks night wastes a lot of cash, even easter and christmas have been dumbed down a lot.

A lot of stuff changes when you stop being a kid including but not limited to, echonomic changes and family devisions, etc.

On the 31st in fact, bar a few fan radio dramas, online and only 5 I noted, all the local tv stations didn't have a program, and no standard government controled stations, there were a few masks in shops but not much.

Its an old tradition, its meaning is mostly lost now.

Then again, if you have a supportive community about that wants some sort of event any of those days helloween especially since its just a random day with anything going in it can be used for whatever event you wish or need doesn't have to be standard.

Hi Zahra,

Do you mean you aren't familiar with Halloween or did I write "[nvda]
Halloween" somewhere? If the latter, I'm not sure.

If you aren't familiar with Halloween, it's origins are debated (Christian,
Celtic, Pagan), but essentially these days, it's a celebration of all
things spooky and creepy (ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, witches), and
particularly in Western countries, mostly a chance to decorate or dress up,
and play with pumpkins. America, particularly, seems to have embraced the
tradition and celebration. Kids like to dress up and knock on nearby
houses door's and get given lollies - which does seem a bit odd given we
spend the rest of the year telling them not to accept things from strangers
:) The common history, broadly, is that November 1 is "All saints day" in
the Christian year, a celebration of every saint, known and unknown. The
eve of this either being the last chance for wandering souls to seek
vengeance on earth before All Saint's Day, or the time when the barriers
between worlds are down and ghostly spirits walk the land.

I'm sure plenty of others know more about the holiday than I do, but that's
my "Halloween in a paragraph" explanation. Actually if you want to read
more, WIkipedia has more than I read on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween

Hi Molinar
I usually use text editor to edit my article offline, then copy to wordpress site. If you're familiar with html, you can write as this format, then open the html in your browser, copy its content, and paste to the body of your post on Wordpress site. Otherwise, use Microsoft Word to edit, then do the same.

Subject: [nvda] Wordpress.com and NVDA

Hi, everyone. I have a blog on wordpress.com and have a couple questions about using it with NVDA. I've noticed that the HTML editor doesn't seem to be very accessible, so I have to switch to the visual rich text editor to write a post. Is there something I can change in the settings or something to make this more accessible? Also, I'm a beginner at blogging and only have a couple posts on my blog. Before I really get going with it, are there any settings I should change, good accessible themes or plugins I should use, or tips you have for someone just getting started? Thanks.
