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?

Hello!

Here is the text of documentation.

If you have more douts, please say!

Mozilla Scripts
add-on that provides NVDA scripts for Mozilla
Firefox
• NVDA+A (desktop) or NVDA+Control+A (laptop) Reads the page address. If pressed twice quickly, copies it to clipboard.
• NVDA+End (desktop) or NVDA+Shift+End (laptop) Reads the status bar. If pressed twice quickly, copies it to clipboard.
• NVDA+F8 Shows a list of opened tabs. If pressed twice quickly, shows buttons of tool bar.
• NVDA+Control+N Reads the last notification and it takes the system focus to it if it is possible. By pressing two times quickly shows the history of notifications.
• NVDA+F6 Brings the focus to the document.
Thunderbird
• In a message window:
◦ Control+Shift+(1-4) Reads the sender and recipients of the message. If pressed twice quickly, opens the options menu.
◦ Control+Shift+5 Reads the subject of the message.
◦ Control+Shift+6 Reads date of the message.
◦ Control+Shift+A Brings the focus to the list of attachments, if any. (These scripts are also available in the list of messages if you activate the preview pane.)
• In the bar of fast filtering:
◦ Press down Arrow to display more options, enter to check/unchek the selected option.
• In messages list:
◦ If the preview pane is active, press NVDA+downArrow (desktop) or NVDA+A (laptop) to read the message without leaving the list.
◦ Control+NVDA+1-9 moves between columns.
◦ NVDA+H Displays a dialog in which you can change the order of the columns in the message list.
Keystrokes can be customized in Preferences of NVDA > Input gestures when Firefox or Thunderbird are open.

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!

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.

Have you thought about Quickbooks? I get that for just a personal budget, this probably will be way, and I do mean, way! overkill, but it's probably the best I've found.

 

I'm told! about a web based sollution which is totally free, but I've not yet had the chance to look at it. I hear it's totally accessible though, and might do perfect for what you're asking:

Good afternoon all,

Please could somebody tell me if there is any invoice software that is compattable with NVDA.

I'm looking for a basic book-keeping programme that I can set up to track my monthly personal expenses.

My IT expert suggested the following programme:

https://www.gnucash.org

When installing with JAWS the installation is completely accessible. It is only not accessible once the installation is complete and when you want to work in the actual programme.

If anybody can assist me with advice I would be really grateful.

Not if you know how to use the control right arrow and control left arrow commands.  They don't move through every item.  they move to each category.  If you are in Windows Live Mail, for example, you can move to the home ribbon with alt h.  then you can use control right arrow to get to a category, such as respond, where you can tab through items in the category and continue tabbing if you wish.  but if a ribbon has seven categories and there are seven or eight items in each category, you can control right arrow to the category that sounds logical to find the item.  If you want to reply to an e-mail, respond is the logical category.  If you land on a category such as respond, either by tabbing until you get there or by control right or left arrow, you will be in the category and on the first item.  You will hear the name of the category, respond, for example, and, if you wait for everything to be read, you will hear that you are on reply.

That‘s right. But by using object nav you can navigate much faster to functions where you usually press 20 times tab. Apart from the productivity aspect it gives you the possibility to easily explore and visualize the menu structure. Ofcourse you can combine object navigation with usual navigation to reach functions even faster.

Don‘t rely only on one navigation mode. There are always shorter ways from a to b.

Press alt, then one time tab and then start exploring the menu groups by object navigation. You will see all cathegories of the ribbon start.

Alt H is the home tab, however, where does O take me? I like knowing the hierarchy of where in the ribbon I am going. This way I better understand the workflow.

nonetheless, thank you profusely for your help!

I have been asked to prepare an Excel document which will contain several worksheets within the one workbook.

 

I have tried and tried and tried, and cannot find a way to do the following tasks, and hope someone can give me the steps.

 

1. How do I create a new worksheet within a workbook?

 

2. I know about ctrl+tabbing to move between worksheets, but how do I focus myself on the worksheet tabs, so I can right click one of them and select the rename option?

 

Yes, I've looked in the ribbon, but don't see anything which appears obvious for either of these questions.

Morning guys

I am Marisane from SA.

I use nvda as my screen reader on my win10 laptop.

I have just bought the laptop.

It came with win10.

I, before, used jaws without this problem.

I cannot open more than one application without nvda freezing.

It freezes and continuously goes unresponsive as well as even decides
to sometimes stop talking.

It is frustrating me as it is now my only screen reader to access
applications in win10.

Your assistance in this regard is appreciated in advance.


May I also ask this question?

How does one know that one's laptop has windows10 fall creators?

Please help.

Regards
Marisane

Subject: Re: [nvda] Some misstakes in new rc NVDA version

We changed from using eSpeak NG 1.49.1 in 2017.3 to using 1.49.2, but for
those not using the Next or Master snaps, the RC builds (or the final
2017.4 when it comes out) are likely the first time they've tried it.
So,
as Brian guessed, it's likely that the issues here are not specific to
this
RC as such, but to the change in eSpeak version, since the RCs are a bit
more widely distributed. It would be good to get confirmation from Marco
though.

Regards

Quentin.

I have certainly noticed some strangenesses in Espeak on recent

since the last two updates of espeak NG, none for the better

in English hence my work around mentioned in my reply.

I guess the most noticable is the way it says the word for in some

Your subject line refers to the new RC version.

Is this problem something new in the latest RC version and did not
exist
in
earlier (RC or otherwise) versions, or does the same problem also exist

in
older (especially standard release) versions of NVDA?

Hi!

At the first, where can I inform about this thing of NVDA misstakes
of,
for example Espeak NG?

Because I have noticed, that new Mandarin Chinese is badly pronounced
in
NVDA in that way, that syllable and some kind of number. Maybe, this
is
problem of Espeak NG, but I am not shure.

Nextly, arabic letter meem is pronounced in Espeak, like meetar, but I
think, that It is incorrect.

Where can I issued those things?

Thank You.
