Re: nvda portable copy

Roger Stewart
 

That's very odd. I had a portable copy on a thumb drive and I installed it just fine on my Win 10 machine. It's under Tools in the nvda menu.

Yes I'll get off of this topic, I was as many probably guessed and as others were probably doing setting up message rules to sort out the different lists. I have a couple tofind yet, but most are now working into sensible folders on this account.
Basically in Outlook Express speak.
The line to use to o sort with is the to line and the address of the list, with move to a folder if that is contained and of course a stop processing more rules so it won't be seen by other rules.
Works a treat so far.

Hey,

And is this the reason italics/bold don't display properly? If a line starts with italics, the opening indicator is not shown, only the closing one, and the same is true if italics start in the middle of a line. I need to read with NVDA to know which words have been emphasised. The opening indicator does show up if there's a terminator before it in the same line, but that's not helpful enough.

Also, in words like "can't" and "won't", as well as with possessive forms of peoples' names, the letter after the apostrophe has the Grade 1 letter indicator before it. I don't remember that being a rule...

But anyways, now that I've found out where yous guys went, I shall get to the point of this message.

So I was recently able to purchase my very own Braille Display and I chose the Focus 40 Blue. I'm loving having it, as I've missed Braille and wanted to read my fave sites using the display as well as write. I look forward to NVDA supporting contracted Braille input. :D

One thing that's puzzling me, however, is the way "—"(the emdash symbol) is displayed on the Focus sometimes. Why it doesn't happen every time mystifies me but it's quite bizarre. My current output table is UEB Grade 2, but I tested this on UK Grade 2 as well and the result was the same. In Microsoft word, and a couple other sites I read from, whenever an emdash appears it's displayed as apostrophe+o-u symbol+x+lower 2014+apostrophe, and I don't know why or how to fix it. I use emdashes (and encounter them while reading)frequently enough that this eight-cell mutant is quite jarring to read. It doesn't NEED to take up that many cells, so why does it? And why only in MS Word  and on specific websites? Is this an NVDA or Focus issue?

It also happens in the Outlook Email editor. That's how I was able to describe what it looks like to me.
Re: Paftitioning Program

Hi.

What do you need to accomplish? Paragon partition manager is sort of usable but the free version won't resize partitions on the back end. So if you have two partitions and the first one is a small one and the second one bigger, but you want to remove the first one and extend the second one to fill the space of the first one, this is something you can't do for free with paragon.

If you're shrinking a partition, Windows Disk Management should be capable of this, also it should be capable of adding another partition if your goal is to shrink the one you have and put another one after it. It should be able to delete a partition from the trailing end and extend the one before it to fill that space also. So think about it like this, you can't mess with the left side or top, but the right side or bottom is generally something you can tweak as far as sizes go. What's your goal?

crash because it will try to load that file in the preview pain again.

Re: Suggesting several features for GoldWave AddON

Personally the main issue at present is that when doing a lot of editing the length of the file is not kept, and one has to switch away and back to get it to read the numbers. I suspect this has to do with the way Goldwave presents this, ie it has to be the last thing written perhaps.

The problem is that 57 has issues and I've had to go back a bit to one of the 5.6 versions to stop all that silliness I mentioned when attempting to get Goldwave to work on my 64 bit machine. Now you may say why not go for version 6, but I've been told that it is significantly different that it will probabl lose all my special custom effects. I have a little registry patch so Ican put version 5 on any machine and it makees the options what I need, like awide stereo mode and a superfst gain enhancer etc.

Hi,
Just tested it using GoldWave 6. Adding this function isn't hard - one will
need to use object navigation. Due to the version I'm supporting, this will
be exclusive to GoldWave 5.70 and later (preferably 6.x).
Cheers,
Joseph

Sadly I tried awhile ago today, while having several files open,
Alt+numbers but no go, thus maybe it has to do with the Shark's scripts?
thus could this be implemented somehow into the GoldWave AddOn? AT least for
me, it's a timesaver to quickly switch between for instance, Fil A and File
B without having to perform the Control+tab command to switch between these;
OH and when you do Alt+1 to go to File A, Focus moves to that file; Alt+2
for File B and focus moves to that one, thus that's why I say it's a
timesaver!

Joseph and whoever does the GoldWave AddOn for NVDA I'd like to
suggest having the ability to via Alt+numbers from 1-9, be able to
move between files during editing, instead of having to do
Control+tab? kind of like what the other screen readers' scripts do.
Thanks for implementing.

Re: Seamonkey?

valiant8086
 

Hi.

The original question being is Seamonkey as accessible as Thunderbird. The answer in my opinion is it is close to being as screen reader friendly as Thunderbird, but is not quite as good. That said though, the issues I encountered with it weren't critical problems, just some edit boxes wouldn't read their contents automatically when I set up my email account with Seamonkey, but I had a separate window open for Thunderbird displaying my existing account settings for that so I could enter the details accurately in Seamonkey, and it was reading properly in Thunderbird but not Seamonkey. That having been said, that's a common issue I encounter and the solution is to manually arrow through it, it just doesn't tell you what's filled in already when you tab to it is all. I also was using JAWS at the time not NVDA so  your mileage should be rather different on that front anyway.

I do feel like Seamonkey is less laggy than Thunderbird. I don't know that for certain since I've only ran it once and I've been using Thunderbird for quite a few years now.

To Gene's comment about column headers not being accessible. There is a way to move them with JAWS, but I'm not sure if that can be done with NVDA. You do the drag and drop keystroke caps lock shift+8 to manually move them around. In this way I was able to fix it so that it says unread before it says who the message is from, and then the subject etc. Also there is a way to turn column information on or off so certain bits of info that you don't want won't be read at all, and NVDA can do this. I think if memory serves you start at the top of the list, then using object navigation you go left one or more times until you find some actions button. I believer this is the one that brings up a menu that can be used to check or uncheck columns that you want to be present.

If you ask questions about Thunderbird regarding the problems you have with it, you will probably get answers.  Thunderbird is accessible with screen-readers.  There are one or two features that aren't accessible, such as changing the order of headers, but almost all of Thunderbird is accessible.

This is Marv here.  I never heard of seamonkey, but tried thunderbird and found it quite difficult to use.  So, I went to windows live mail.  I am running windows 10 jaws/nvda.  I had poor luck with thunderbird and both screen readers.  Is seamonkey more accessible than thunderbird?

Hi.
I'm a newbie at Seamonkey myself, but I can open the email portion of it by pressing ctrl+2. I believe ctrl+1 goes to the web browser.

Hi.

I just went and installed Seamonkey from scratch here, It's been a long time since I used it since I always use Thunderbird portable. Ensure that you're downloading from:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/

I'm using jaws at present, but Seamonkey is very similar to Thunderbird and thus rather screen reader friendly for the most part. I'm writing this with it, and this is my first message so hopefully it works. The version I have is 2.39. I wonder if there could be an add-on or interface setting that has made it go all wonky. Did you try redownloading it, are you sure you're downloading from the official site, which appears to be that which I linked above?

Worse come to worse, Thunderbird will do most everything Seamonkey does with no necessity to relearn anything, it is almost exactly the same just no web browser built right in. But I think you can fix it by uninstalling Seamonkey and perhaps deleting your settings folder for Seamonkey so it starts from scratch.
Press windows key+r, type %appdata% and press enter. When the folder opens, find Mozilla and open it. Now find Seamonkey and delete that puppy. Btw, don't hold me responsible if that breaks something else even though it wouldn't make sense for it to do so. Of course, I'd recommend uninstalling seamonkey then deleting that after uninstallation, then reinstall, hopefully if it is a setting that's the problem the setting in question is not stored in the registry?

Good luck and enjoy setting that all up from scratch again! And yes, don't forget about Thunderbird. I've been using it for years, it doesn't seem like it should be too awfully hard a call to switch to that given how similar they are. Granted, I would submit that it shouldn't be necessary, Seamonkey should work fine, definitely is for me.

Hi Vincent,
Sorry, we also have the latest version of JAWS, but it won't read anything with that either. Very perplexed by all of this and disappointed in myself. Thanks for all your help. Can't even remove the program and put it back on as it reads the same as the install did. Can't restore the computer to an earlier time before the problems started. Looks like I'm just stuck.

Lisa,

Sorry, I wasn't quite accurate in my last mail,, but you found the menu
items anyway. In Seamonkey, go to View Menu, then Show / Hide, then
press the right arrow key to start the submenu with the various toolbars
that you can show or hide. There is a further submenu for Website
Navigation, which you can again reach by pressing the right arrow key.

From the main menu bar, for example, if you are at Bookmarks, the
submenu should appear if you press the down arrow. I have no idea why
items are not being spoken by NVDA.

It may be that some settings have got corrupted , in which case it would
be an idea to remove Seamonkey and start again. If NVDA is otherwise
working OK, this may be the best option. I remove programs with Revo
Uninstaller, which looks for relevant files all over your PC, and so may
remove any corrupt material.

To get the current version of seamonkey, version 2.39, go to:
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.39&os=win&lang=en-US

That link above should start the installer downloading. In Seamonkey or
Firefox, you will get a dialog box asking you to save the file before
you can run it.

Hi Vincent,
Thank you for getting back. Yes, menu is checked, but there are about 4
or 5 other things below it that are also checked and it doesn't read
what they are. I know how to get to the view choice when things act
normally, but when I left and right arrow when I'm in the file menu,
all
I hear is submenu submenu and that's it. Does that help you any? Can
you
give me any tips on things to have checked or unchecked so it will read
better? Please and thanks?.

Re: The deliniator thingy

I haven't worked to any extent with profiles and I don't recall details.  But it seems to me that you can set almost any setting in a profile.  It may be that others will discuss this.

For now, just set punctuation to none, at least when reading e-mail.  I don't know if you can do this in a profile but I never hear such punctuation.  In addition, why not just stop reading after the message?

Obviously, somebody needs to point this out to the  people who run it, Its just a text string. Just as well its not a line of greater than and less thans then I suppose as I've found on some lists.
 
If it had been a row of dashes it would have been silent. But a row of =, would just have said 40 equals which might suit those who like to know when its the end without it getting annoying.
