Re: the equalence add on from atguys or the full version that the sell witch is the better one to get
The pause is adjustable, as I recall from a thread
perhaps more than a month ago. I don't recall now how you get into the
settings but you should find something there. I found it roughly
comparable to JAWS. JAWS doesn't pause to any extent between sentences and
I consider that very poor design. People don't read that way when they are
reading to others. Half or a quarter of a second's pause should be the
default but JAWS doesn't 3even have an adjustment for this.

Try the demos and see which you want. The
add on has lots of artifacts and I wouldn't get it for myself. If I were
going to by one of the two, it would be the SAPI5 version. But you need
to try the demos to see what you think and how they perform on your

some people saying it isn't responsive enough and others saying its
fine. also, how do you know you will find the artifacts as annoying as I
do in the add on version.

If you do things where speed matters, copying lots of large files, converting lots of large files, doing a lot of recording of long works and exporting the recording to a compressed format such as MP3, and other uses I haven't though of while at the moment, then it would make sense. but if you mainly do things like word processing, web browsing, and other typical uses, I don't consider it important. there are some people who just want everything to be very fast, they don't want programs to take one or two seconds to open, they want a program to open almost instantly.

I would be very interested if you could post some links to the information about SSDs becoming unwriteable.
Regarding defragmenting an SSD - there is absolutely no point.
The whole purpose of defragmenting a traditional spinning hard disk was to get all the parts of a single file together, instead of being spread (fragmented) across the drive, which happens when small files are deleted and then larger ones are written into the gaps afterwards. Having the entire file together in one place is much more efficient for reading it later than having it spread around the disk (because it takes time for the mechanical heads to go and find all the different parts).
With an SSD, accessing one part is just as efficient as any other - nothing needs to move to get to the next part, so fragmented files are no less efficient to read than complete ones.

I like the bookmark idea and will probably go with that.
To answer some of your questions:
It seems to be a series of buttons, I think 3 in total. I have only ever heard the last two which say something along the lines of "open login page" and "close this message," respectively.
Using brows mode to navigate by buttons doesn't work as these buttons seem to not be in the main document. It was one of the first strategies I tried.
For now, I think the bookmark option is the simplest solution.

I doubt it. When a dialog opens on a web page, NVDA says the word "dialog." Have you gotten to the alert message or heard its entire text? On the new page you open, what is this option; is it a link? Instead of tabbing until you get to it on the new page, use the screen-reader search function and search from the top of the page for the word "open." See if you can find whatever it is on the page. If you can't find it, I may find something in firefox that makes finding the alert easier.

efficient reading of messages in Outlook 2016 with NVDA
I have both JAWS and NVDA on this machine. I am really liking the simplicity of NVDA, but I do have a question about efficiently reading email. There has been a discussion on another list about how you can configure either Window Eyes or JAWS to automatically read the next message in outlook. The upshot seems to be that if you have outlook configured to automatically open the next or previous message, depending on how your messages are sorted, that once you have a message open and hit control d for delete, the next message will automatically open and the reading of the message text will commence. This sounds like about the most efficient way to get through lots of mail--that and being able to get rid of a whole thread if it doesn't interest you--of course. Can this be done with NVDA? I didn't see an add on that looked like it would do this. Any possibility for that?

Power Point presentation access
Afternoon All,
In the past, I have had make a good number of Power Point presentations. I could edit them with a screen reader, but I could not have any of them speak the presentation as I used it. I then found a small free app called Power Talk. It would speak each slide as it was presented. It would even read alt tags with descriptions of graphics.
It started as a project on Source forge. I can still find it, but it will not work with Power Point 365. It is not clear if it is the program or Windows 10 that are the culprit. Does anyone on the list know of a similar app?
Thanks for ideas,

Nvda goes unresponsive everytime I run more than one applications.
It also goes unresponsive when I am working on he internet.
I use nvda 2017.3 and win10.
My win10 is : Windows 10Ver1703 (64-bit) build 15063.726.
On other occasions, I use jaws16 but it does not go unresponsive when I run multiple applications or am working on the internet.
What is wrong with nvda? Why so unresponsive in win10?
May I also understand about win10 fall creators? What is that?
Sorry for being without this knowledge about win10.
I am, of course, not technical.
Please help.

filling out forms with adobe reader and nvda
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to fill out forms in adobe reader. These forms don't actually have any clear indications of checkboxes or anything like that that. This form just has ___ where you are supposed to put your information.
Any help would be wonderful

Re: How to access Firefox notifications with NVDA
I've seen messages like that and they appear in a
notification area. Sometimes I can find them by moving to the address bar
and then tabbing and shift tabbing a few times from the address bar. I
don't remember now which I did to find them so I would try both if I needed
to. As you say, they aren't a part of the web page. Perhaps someone
knows a command to move to the notification area. There is one in
Chrome. Working with the buttons often isn't easy. But if you ever
have to work with such a message, you can try the address bar idea. But
the book mark idea would be much more convenient in this case.

Hello Gene,
I like the bookmark idea and will probably go
with that. To answer some of your questions: It seems
to be a series of buttons, I think 3 in total. I have only ever heard the last
two which say something along the lines of "open login page" and "close this
message," respectively. Using brows mode to navigate by buttons
doesn't work as these buttons seem to not be in the main document. It was one of
the first strategies I tried. For now, I think the bookmark option
is the simplest solution. Thank you! Sally

I am using the extended service release of Firefox on windows 10 machine with the stable release of NVDA. Sometimes Firefox will put up notices, such as when it offers to remember passwords or when it informs you that has blocked a redirection from the site. How can I access these in order to either tell it I don’t want it to save a password or that I do wanted to allow a redirection? Mary

Hi Group,
Where do you get these scripts/add-ons? I did a search and
couldn't find it anywhere on the web or on the NVDA add-ons page.

Re: How to access Firefox notifications with NVDA
Hello Rui,
Thank you for the documentation. It sounds like it might help in
this situation and is certainly worth a try.
It also addresses some issues I was having with Thunderbird that I
hadn't bothered to ask about yet.
Pretty handy add-on!
Thanks again,
Sally
