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

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?

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

Is there a hotkey for the alerts about logging into a
wifi network? I am currently in a building where the
wifi needs a sign in after 10 minutes of inactivity and
I can't figure out how to get to that sign in page
quickly and easily. For now, I am opening a new window
in firefox and tabbing around until I find the "open
login page" option.
There must be a better way to do this.....
Thanks!

To tell Firefox not to offer to remember passwords,
do the following.
New main steps start on new lines:
Alt t then o to open options.
After waiting a moment, tab once. You are now in a
list of categories.
Start down arrowing until you get to security.
If down arrowing stops moving you before you get
there, up arrow once then continue down arrowing.
Once you get to security, start tabbing until you
get to a checkbox that says something like remember
logins. Uncheck it with the space bar. You won't
be asked any longer.
There is no ok button in this dialog-like
structure. Settings take immediate effect. This is
a web page in the browser and since you are on a web
page that mimics a dialog, do whatever you want to
do that you would do while on a web page after you
change the setting. That is, go to another page by
using a book mark, close the browser, etc.

Subject: [nvda] How to access Firefox
notifications with NVDA
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?

Language learning flashcard website?
Hello all,
I am currently taking some language courses and am looking for a flashcard website to replace the dismantled Wordchamp site.
I need a site that allows me to make my own flash cards and that renders the cards as text instead of images: a site that is compatible with screen readers.
Does anyone out there have a favorite site I should try?
Thank you,
Sally

the equalence add on from atguys or the full version that the sell witch is the better one to get
Hi I am thinking about purchasing the equalence add on from Atguys or the full sapi 5 version that they sell.
Witch of the two is the better one to get or are they about the same?
I am not mocking the company or saying one is better then the other just weighing my options before purchasing one or the other is all.

Re: How to access Firefox notifications with NVDA
It calls itself an alert and I do get to it eventually by
tabbing. Do you still think it is a dialogue?
Thanks!

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.

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?

Because I have noticed, that new Mandarin Chinese is badly

is
problem of Espeak NG, but I am not shure.
Nextly, arabic letter meem is pronounced in Espeak, like meetar, but

Where can I issued those things?

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:
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.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Question about
Excel
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.

You don't have to use object navigation in
ribbons. Ribbons are, in essence, menus that you tab through. I
say in essence because that is an oversimplification but that's the essence
of what ribbons are. they are fully accessible from the
keyboard. If a ribbon has menus in it, you will hear things as you tab
like button and if you let text read and not tab to the next item before
reading is finished, you will hear if the button opens a submenu. use
space bar or enter on the button and a menu will open. In menus, in a
menu program, if you up and down arrow in a menu, if you let items read
submenu will be announced if you move to one. The same thing will
happen in a ribbon. any menu you tab to in a ribbon is announced as a
submenu. Why? Maybe its because ribbons are, in essence, as I
said, menus you tab through.

You might have not been aware of this, but when in
your lower ribbon on a particular tab, you don't need to press your arrows 20
gazillian times as you said. You can move group by group on the lower ribbon
with ctrl+left and CTRL+right arrow.
