So does chrome have a reader at on, rather like what you get with
Safari either on a Mac or on the phone? The android version of chrome doesn’t
have that, and it’s a huge disadvantage in my opinion. I’m guessing that the
desktop version either has it built in or at least has an ad

download finishes because that will tell you, without you having to check or

Re: NVDA in the workforce and in public institutions
Well, that was basically my question. If there's something we can do to become a more attractive option to Canadian government departments, then I'd be happy to find out what the requirements may be. If it's a flat-out no because we are open source, well at least a link clarifying that position would be useful for us to know as well.
Kind regards
Quentin.

Quenton, I'm sure the NVAccess group has the resources and knowhow to become a contractor for the Canadian Government. It's not usually that hard, though there may be substantial red tape. I don't believe you would have to present any kind of insurance documentation to sell them software, though you would probably have to wave liability if you were coming in to do training or something. Insurance is for contractors hired to build new ficilities, install new plumming, electrical, or fire, maintain government vehicals and so on.

Please can someone point me at some official documentation to explain what the vendors have to comply with to get government contracts?
I'd be interested to know how the Canadian government manages to use any open source software if they have rules in place which would be a problem for NVDA specifically.

Re: Spellchecker Microsoft office word 2017
Ok Steve,
Just for you, try pressing alt+F7 to jump between spelling errors and open the context menu with alternate suggestions. You might like that idea since, being a Word command, you can do it in Jaws or Window-Eyes as well as NVDA :-P
If you don't want the menu open, press alt to close it again.

You can also jump to next spelling error using NVDA by:
- Pressing NVDA+spacebar to go into Browse mode.
- Press w to move to the next spelling error or shift+w to move to the previous spelling error.
Note that you'll need to go back to focus mode with NVDA+spacebar to edit text again.

Hi,
By default, MS word will highlight spelling errors automatically as you move through a document, making it unnecessary to activate
the spell checker to proof a document.
I am told that sighted people see these misspelled words as underlined words, and I suppose this is what NVDA is detecting such
that it can identify them for us.
Therefore, as I see it, you can move to the misspelled word in context, press the Applications key, and move through the pull-down
menu and review the replacement possibilities, and one of the elements in the pull-down is the highlighted misspelled word itself for your convenience.
You can then make your choice and press Enter.
I hope this helps,

Yeah I have a similar issue with mail in general.
Imap and pop fail, every so often, the local google node flakes and goes offline, I switch to another for a bit then it pops back.
Then imap and pop fail.
Imap just comes back, but I have to switch to imap, wait 30 mins and switch the pop devices back to pop, I have some spacifficly linked devices I don't want active and sharing all the time namely my admin box though if it happens again, I'm going to have to figure out why notifications don't work in thunderbird with imap active and stick with it.
I always know when it will do it because the local google web site goes offline 3 or 4 days later the servers die and nothing comes through till I fiddle about.
So as much as google thinks its the big cloud, I suspect overloading however small is going on.

Hi When the Windows log-in and lock screen come into play, a Different NVDA profile is used to the one related to your user-id and it may be this that is providing speech during the shut-down process. Unless you specifically copy a modified profile across for system usage, it will use the default synth which is E-speak.

I have this new machine and it has NVDA on it. But in Vda does not load at start up. We are having some problems with the machine, and my husband thought he had narrowed it down to stuff screwing up when you restart rather than shutting down the machine. Anyway, with NVDA not loaded when the machine is shutting down, occasionally will hang up and e speak will start talking. That is not the synthesizer I have selected. But it does talk. And it is happened on a few occasions. When he took it back to the store to let the tech look at it, it did that once, and now the tech is blaming the whole thing on NVDA. I’m sure that’s not correct, but I don’t know what to tell them. Mary

Thanks, Sally. I know about chromevox, and I’m not interested. I will use it with the regular windows screen reader. I was talking about the reader mode, where you get just the article you want to read and not all the intervening junk that shows up. Mary

First https everywhere, privacy badger and ublock origin exist thats good.
I use download notifier for sounds, and google sound effects tweaked so it doesn't make sounds for everything I do key typing scroling down pages, etc.
However its better than the crappy addon I have on firefox.
Its got accessibility features and its fully configurable, maybe ms should take a leaf out of google's book for their stuff because headings for everything.
The only issues I have is when removing addon extentions I have to hit enter twice as there is a lot of unknown and the same with adding extentions tab once and hit enter.

Download sound is fine but I just find the addon's download sound a bit to loud and can't change that.
I have pulled back to 56.02 for now as I just don't have the time to bother with web brousers just now.
Then again 57 seemed to load faster.
Noscript is the big show stopper, I like controling sites I load.
If its in google chrome I may try it and see.

Re: braille me affordable braille display
Here, here to the 40-cell display. Twenty is
barely enough to do serious reading. That's what I would use
it for. Mobile is the future, this I know. However, the more
Braille cells on a display, the better. I'm thinking 32 or 40
would be nice.

Subject: Re: [nvda] braille me affordable braille display
Hi,
Y'all will recall that BrailleMe came to the NVDA community for assistance
in putting together a display driver last year.
Earlier this year, late spring or perhaps very early summer, I got to see an
early prototype of BraillMe, and it showed a lot of promise. There were afew
rough edges, which I hope have been addressed in the final production
version.
At $50 less than Orbit Reader 20, there are a couple things I'll observe.
First, the early prototype was a bit noisy, especially as the cursor
blinked. Also, sometimes a cell wouldn't populate correctly if you had your
finger on it. I hope these shortcomings got addressed. Also, this says it's
a six-dot cell, not eight. This might be an issue for some, although I must
say I never used those extra dots myself. On the plus side, display refresh
is instantaneous, and there are cursor routing buttons for each cell, a
feature the Orbit lacks. So if they really do release on 4th January, we
could well have a winner here.

I believe this is so, because not only does zoom
notifications read with JAWS, but they are also read in
narrator under windows 10. The rest of the client works
reasonably well with it as well.
So it sounds like a tiny piece of something is missing.
If it gets fixed, maybe this would inadvertently improve
access to other apps that we may not be aware of.

If you are able to do that Governor Staten, that will
