Or, I would say that the said email recipients has this type of norms is being setup.

Cindy,

          Can you be more specific with regard to which messages and topics?  I had been seeing quite a few on this group, and started a thread dedicated to some of the reasons they might be occurring, but that has died down quite a bit since it was at it's peak a about 5 or 6 days ago.  I haven't seen any over the last several days.

Hello Everyone,

Greetings !
I have just joined this group and this is my first mail.

I am facing difficulties while working with Excel chart and it would
be great help if I get guidance on this.
I am using NVDA 16.1 and MS Office 2007, on Windows 7.
1. I have created chart by pressing F11 key and it creates a chart for
the selected data on a new worksheet. By pressing arrow keys I am able
to access the axis, legend, chart area, plot area of the chart.
2. Now I want to check the data points of the chart (like in a bar
chart, what is the specific value of bar). When I press Insert + F7 to
access the elements list, it does not open the element list and
instead spell check for the chart got completed. Then I switched to
the Data sheet and pressed insert + F7 there. It opened elements list
but when I select charts on the elements list, it is showing nothing.
How to access chart from elements list ?
3. I closed and re opend the excel and switched to the sheet where the
chart got created. Now NVDA is not reading anything about the chart,
pressing arrow keys or any other keys is not working. How can I access
this sheet now? Other data sheets are read by NVDA, only chart sheets
are not accessible.

Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Shantanu Choudhury.

I don't consider such minor inconveniences to be meaningful. If you have to
issue an extra keystroke and that's all, that is a minor work around and
doesn't indicate how the program performs overall when compared with
another. I don't know how the programs compare for blind people but I read
somewhere that Libre Office is updated in a more timely manner and is more
current. As a blind computer user who uses more than just a small number of
programs known to be fully accessible, such work arounds are likely to be
needed in this or that program.

What, if any other differences, do you like about Open Office?

Hi,

I actually like open office much better. I tried libre office and found that
I had to alt tab to get to the place where you choose what you want like a
spread sheet or a text document.

hi.
libreoffice is accessible and you dont need to install java-java access
briedge to make it accessible.
just download libreoffice and enjoy it without any additional program, no
cust, open source, very great project, and support for more than
110 languages.
i am shure that libreoffice is the best selection!
thanks so much for your asking and god bless you.

Both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice offer good no-cost open source
assistive technology tool support on Windows having implemented the
IAccessible2 API.
LibreOffice-- http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
(5.1.2 build released 2016-04-01 in either 32-bit or 64-bit, as
opposed to the
5.0.5 build released 2016-02-08)
Apache OpenOffice -- http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
(4.1.2 build released 2015-10-30)

The Apache project limps along, but the 4.1.2 build should suffice for
use with NVDA releases, but I would choose a LibreOffice build as its
development model offers more resources for addressing any functional
issues.

Hi Jacob,

It offers that setting but I am unable to navigate to it. The hot keys will help but I want to change the microphone that it is going to use.

Been a little while since last really used it, but, think it just recorded system audio output - you could set system audio to listen to microphone, but, remember main thing was extracting audio from video clip using audacity, tweaking it a bit, and reassigning it to video clip using virtual dub, and then reconverting that video clip to something a lot smaller - ongoing issue with virtualDub is trying to get it to use alternative encoders, but anyway.

Just fired up webInAria, and if read dialogue/window, see it offers setting to record microphone, but, not sure that would then include actual system output as well, and, yes, the interface isn't perfect, but, like said, like that it offered global hotkeys to start, pause and stop recording.

Stay well

Oh yes, and I liked that fact that it allows global hotkeys to start and
stop recording, whereas after that you need to use screen review mode to
then have video clip generated/saved.

Hi brandan that is awesome. I am thinking about messing around with the nvda source code my self. I thought about creating a add on for the pandora app for windows. The app is usable but requires object navigation to move around the list of stations.
I also enjoyed the first half of nvda con 2016.

Oh, so Hi, I'm Brandon, Been using NVDA since about 10 years or so, just enjoyed the first half of NVDACon 2015 and new to the list.

I could be completely confused, misremembering something, or, well,
something else, but I could swear that I remember there being an NVDA
command that one could use to get the name of the field you've landed in
when working with a fillable PDF.

I was just trying out the IRS Form 1040 from the 2015 tax year, and could
swear that at one point I saw somebody hitting a specific keyboard shortcut
to get NVDA to announce the form field you'd landed in, e.g., last name,
first name, etc.  In fact, I seem to recall seeing NVDA (or maybe it was
JAWS) announcing the name of the form field you were landing in as you
tabbed through a fillable PDF form as you tabbed through it.

Tonight I'm only getting "blank" when I land in a fillable field and I can
tell I'm in focus mode when I land in it and am able to shift to browse mode
via NVDA+Spacebar, but can't get any further in getting the field name
announced then.

Is there a way to get the name of the field that you're supposed to be
filling in announced so that you know what you should be typing?  [I realize
this can't work if the form wasn't designed with accessibility in mind, but
I thought the federal tax forms that you download from the IRS website had
been so for some years now.]
