Hi I am currently the new beta of NVDA and right now it is just sitting hear telling me please wait please wait.

It does say updating my copy of NVDA so how to I get it to install and not just sit hear and tell me please wait again and again?

Or does this installation take a while?

Or should I cancel it and start it over again?

Hi, NVDA doesn’t speak anything in windows 10 mail app when I press backspace to delete a character while replying to a mail. Or composing a new mail. Please fix this

Don't get me wrong please, but did you ever consider checking the net?


First of all, WebRoot has their own homepage:

    webroot.com

. It seems they are located in USA, Ireland and Australia, have a
support line, and even offers you a set of advice and tools for getting
rid of their product.


Secondly, I did a quick search from the net, using the following query:

    How to get rid of webroot

. It sure yielded a few results. Among these, here is an article that
gives you some outlined steps:

http://smallbusiness.chron.com/uninstall-webroot-completely-pc-50656.html


Again, please don't take this in a critical manner. My goal was just to
show you, and everyone else, that sometimes when facing a problem,
simple searches on the net might be a good idea.


Once you have located the name of a software, and its manufacturer, you
might want to check if they have a homepage. Often it will be the
company name, with the extension of .com, .org or the like. First you
get to their homepage, chances are they have some info on your matter,
or even a contact address or form.


Just wanted to help. Hope for you to get rid of the stuff, and your
issue solved.

Hi,

I finally decided to switch fromJaws to NVDA and find it so good: I
wonder why people always think of Jaws as the only option and don't
choose this great open source screen reader... It seems really fantastic!

The good thing is: there are all commands available in the help menu,
so every one can learn... And I think it does many many things: now it
can be compared to Jaws! It is even faster! The transition is smooth
and have no problems at all.

And I updated to the latest version with no particular nuisance.

Thank you so much to the wonderful devs who make it better every day!

Sorry for my terrible English, but I wanted to thank you those who put
effort on what they do.
Ciao

NVDA is a real option for my age group as many are no longer
employed and don't qualify for many aspects of rehabilitation
services and many of whom are on fixed incomes that may prevent
them from affording other options.

I have been learning NVDA for eight months or so and find the
transition from other screen readers quite easy. However, I am
stuck at the moment as NVDA will simply not run.

I had used it several weeks ago and needed to get back to building
skills. I tried the usual things and finally uninstalled NVDA and
reinstalled with the newest version. The install appeared to go
without a hitch and the default voice spoke through the end of the
process. Unfortunately, NVDA will still not run even when activated
from the program group directly. ,

I would love any next step suggestions to try and sort this out.
Many thanks,
Ric

Hi,
Yes, and you can specify options. The usual way is through Run dialog (this dialog's receiving some needed tweaks next year), but you can launch NVDA via PowerShell, Command Prompt, and if adventurous (and if you know the exact executable name for the variant you need to use), Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

The command line options (in a typical Unix-style help message/man page):

NVDA: NonVisual Desktop Access, free and open-source screen reader for Microsoft Windows

Usage:
nvda {-m | -r } [-f filename] [-l loglevel] [--disable-addons | --debug-logging]
... and additional switches (one add-on participates in providing extra switches)

Or:
Fullpathtonvda (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\nvda.exe)

Options:

-m - minimal (no startup sound)
-r - restart NVDA
-f filename - file name for the log file
-l loglevel - logging level
--disable-addons - disables all add-ons
--debug-logging - turns debug logging on for the session

I might be forgetting important ones or may have messed up some. As for add-ons that participate in providing additional command-line switches, StationPlaylist Studio add-on adds several switches related to add-on configuration.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hello.

Is it possible to run nvda from the command line with different options?

For example, what i'm thinking is to have a script that launches nvda and automatically brings up nvda remote.


Anyone have any thoughts for me?

Hi could I make a suggestion?
The information about reporting issues and troubleshooting them etc, seems to be spread about on the nvaccess site and github site, and unless you take quite a lot of time to find these which can be hard for somebody new and when you have a problem, you might not feel happy about doing it.
Perhaps a step by step  problem troubleshooting text could be made complete with detailed info on creating a github account and the urls of the various bits like creating new issues and how to find existing ones, plus the info about log files and crash dumps and a very detailed explanation of how to attach files to issues, as this latter part seems hit and miss to me at the best of times.
This could then be a downloadable file in the same place as you get nvda.

That may also help with getting items reported  and flagged up more promptly than happens now, so would help developers to prioritise issues that affect more people. There does seem to be a  tendency recently to be critical of nvda but without anyone having actually reported the issue anywhere but here or talked about between users elsewhere.

In the %tmp% folder you should find a couple of "nvda" log files.
Hopefully they will have information we can use.  If you can e-mail me
those I'd be happy to have a look.

See https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/LogFilesAndCrashDumps for

Until recently, NVDA was running fine on my Windows 10 desktop. I do not

is not the problem. I can run JAWS 18 and Narrator without any issue.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and though I would get the
“installed successfully” message, it would not run by clicking on the “run
now” button on the install program nor from the desktop. I even went to the
actual app in the X86 program group, and no luck there.

I just downloaded version 2017. 4 RC 2 and did an install of it after
uninstalling the previous version. Again, I received the installed

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I think this was at the log on screen. anyway tested on my machine with the latest stable version of windows 10 and the system is 64 bit and it worked it did not change anything.

I have just been reading on the user list that a couple of people say that the new rc somehow turns off the start at start up checkbox when updating a system.
I cannot test this as it seems to be only on windows 10. I'm thinking it might possibly be that new function mentioned where the system cannot write to certain folders if a windows setting is left on to protect parts of windows. I've no idea how this could occur as to me the result should be the opposite!

Colleagues,



We are all very committed to NVDA and believe totally in the Trojan work
that the development team are doing to provide this wonderful screen reader.
I often find it to perform better than the commercial product JAWS and that
is saying a great deal because JAWS is also an excellent product even though
it costs the earth to have it!



If nobody can help with this problem, I am afraid that I am going to have to
use JAWS rather than NVDA to cope with it. Do you really want that to
happen?



I raised this on GitHub last year. I was met then with stunning silence! I
would like to run over it with you, if you don't mind?



It normally comes and goes and is not always reproduceable. However, since I
moved to Office 365 online, it has become a permanent feature of the "Sent
Items" folder in Outlook 2016. I am running Windows 10 and NVDA 2017.3.



I have copied the log file and attach it here for your reference.



Here's the story:

I prefer to display messages in the various folders as a simple list and
Outlook defaults to showing them in groups. So, I have learnt to turn off
"show in groups" whenever I come across it. Since Office 365 online, I find
that when I go to the "Sent Items" folder with groups turned off, I can see
only the message that is under the cursor. I would expect to hear the next
message in the list after pressing down-arrow as in the Inbox and most other
folders. However, here there is silence, even though I press down or
up-arrow many times. If I keep pressing down arrow until message 50 (more or
less, it varies!) suddenly, I can hear all the messages listed. If I
up-arrow back up the list, I cross a threshold at the same message where the
voicing began and all is silent again. Down-arrow back down the list and I
break back into voicing the messages at the same threshold of message 51. If
I press "end" I will drop down to the last message in the Sent Items windows
(about number 250, for example). I hear it fine. And repeating up-arrow
voices all the prior messages as I reverse up the list until number 50 again
when all goes silent.



In the attached log. I positioned on the "Sent Items" folder with "Show in
groups" unchecked. I then restarted NVDA to freshen the log. In the log, I
have typed in a message bound by three asterisks (***) to make it easier to
find where the error report starts.

Back to my story:

Then, with the refreshed NVDA, I pressed alt+v>a>b for the "Arrange By" View
menu. I then press up-arrow twice to "Show in Groups" which was unchecked
so I press space bar to check it.



Now, when I press up-arrow or down-arrow, I hear the group title and then
each of the messages that were not being voiced before.



To test this I went back into the "arrange By menu and turn off "Show in
groups" and, again, the messages in the top 50 are not being voiced.



You will see the following error line if you look at my attached log:

accRole failed: (-2147417848, 'The object invoked has disconnected from its
clients.', (None,



I carried out some further tests and found that, in fact, the list is only
showing the last 200 messages in the list. When I have 250 messages, the
first 50 messages are silent under NVDA, until I reach the 51st message. As
I frequently have about 420 messages in my sent Items before archiving, I
usually find that the 220th message is silent and then suddenly the 221st
message is spoken!





To relieve my frustration, I loaded JAWS 2016 which does not have any
problem reading each message from top to bottom in the Sent Items list.
Should I have to admit to all my NVDA critics that NVDA cannot do it and
they had better use JAWS?



All the best,



Cearbhall
