NVDA still freezing, don't know what the deal is
Sharni-Lee Ward
I've mentioned this before, but it's been weeks and I don't know if I
got any more useful help after Joseph said to submit a log entry. Which given the nature of my problem, I doubt would work. Since I got my Braille Display in February, NVDA has frozen with alarming regularity. It hasn't been like previous experiences of the phenomenon either. I used to occasionally have NVDA freeze, but I could restart the screen reader with alt+ctrl+n. With this situation, I can't. NVDA completely stops working. It says nothing. The Braille display's display remains frozen on whatever was last spoken. I can't restart NVDA, and sometimes can't even shut down the computer without sighted help. That's the only way to get things working again—shut down and restart the computer. I used to only experience this soon after startup, especially when I tried to activate the snapshot with the experimental UEB table in it, but now I'm having it happen after the computer's been going for a while, and it happens on both the normal installation and the brltbl snapshot. Just now, I had it happen while I was writing in a document. I was typing merrily away when NVDA stopped reporting letters and the Braille Display, when I checked it, was only displaying the first two words I'd typed on that line. This is getting seriously annoying both for me and my mother, who is my carer. I don't know what's causing this problem but I have a horrible feeling it's to do with my Focus 40 Blue, as it didn't happen before I got it. Can anyone shed some light on this? I want it to stop so my writing and other activities don't keep getting interrupted.

After press send button you should find some icons on top of page to get a link, send by mail, sharing on social network etc... If you don't move your form on trash from menu setting, you will not lose your survey. Google saves automatically your last edits. Cheers. Chris. Bhavya shah, 01/05/2016 19:26:

Re: NVDA and tab

But the problem here is that when you are in the
proper part of the Window and have opened a page, you have to tab once at times
to be able to move in and read the page. I haven't paid much
attention to this. In my case, using firefox, it is a problem that occurs
off and on but that doesn't occur nearly every time I load a page. I
believe I've seen the same problem when using Google, though I don't use google
much.Â
Â
I haven't tested to see if the problem exists in
other screen-readers.

I generally use ctrl + F6 keystroke to focus on webpage contents after typing in an address, etc. - think this works in both IE11 and firefox.

NVDA and tab
Hello all,
I encounter an issue when trying to get on to the Internet which I am not sure whether it is n NVDA issue or something else. For instance, when I try to get to my home page, google, the page does not seem to load and read by NVDA unless I press tab. It is only then that NVDA begins reading the page. The same issue occurs when trying to get onto other pages, as well. My operating system is Windows 10 64 bit. NVDA is the most recent. I would appreciate your comments.

That's why was asking - they mentioned that it doesn't happen on XP, but, does on later versions.

I have created a good survey form using Google Forms, previewed it and ensured it is the way it needs to be. Now, I am confused about a trivial yet the most important question one must ask - how can I save this and get it online for me to share its link for people to fill and submit? I have pressed the Send button, and now am trying to figure out a safe way to do do this, but am just too cautious to experiment so as not to lose all that I have created till now. Thanks.

I have used the preview version of Google Forms, but this last version sound more accessible with NVDA.

To move down or up an item go with arrows in one item you want move, for example move a question. By NVDA's browser-mode put the cursor on the title of question. Then press ctrl+shift+k to move up, or ctrl+shift+j to move down. Automatically NVDA goes in focus-mode in the field of the title of the question your have moved. Press NVDA+Space to review the position and check if the question has been moved. These are some useful shortcuts: Insert question: Ctrl + Shift + Enter (or holding Ctrl, press i then i) Insert title and description: holding Ctrl, press i then h Insert image: holding Ctrl, press i then p Insert video: holding Ctrl, press i then v Insert section: holding Ctrl, press i then b Move item up: Ctrl + Shift + k Move item down: Ctrl + Shift + j Delete item: Alt + Shift + d Duplicate item: Ctrl + Shift + d Navigation Move cursor up: Ctrl + k Move cursor down: Ctrl + j Show list of keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + / Print: Ctrl + p Find: Ctrl + f Preview: Ctrl + Shift + p Settings menu: Ctrl + e Send menu: Ctrl + Enter Editing Undo: Ctrl + z Redo: Ctrl + y or Ctrl + Shift + z Move to next field: Tab Move to previous field: Shift + Tab Align left: Ctrl + Shift + L Align center: Ctrl + Shift + e Align right: Ctrl + Shift + r Chris.

Actually, I am making good progress on making a survey form using Google Forms. One question that I have for now is moving and changing the order of the questions, i.e. moving them up and down. Ctrl + Shift + K/J is something I don't know when to press as there is not specific focusable option for an item or option. Please help me in that respect, otherwise I will try to finish the survey form for now. Thanks.

I am getting very confused with Google Forms. I cannot find links and buttons to click and follow instructions from, and the keystrokes are working in a weird way, perhaps something that I am unable to keep up with or understand. I would like to sincerely request you, or others, to please give me a quick walkthrough of Google Forms or other accessible survey creation services via any preferred medium. My contact details are all in my signature. I would truly appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

Accessible online survey creation tool
Bhavya shah
Dear all,
I require to create an online survey about a certain potential initiative and the amount of interest in it people may have, which may include several question types - country combo box/dropdown, open ended question edit box, radio button and check box, and an introductory paragraph. For this, I seek your advice and recommendations of a free online survey creation service that could fulfill my purpose. I do not need very advanced functionality, simply basic survey creation, sharing and results analysis features would suffice. I would really appreciate any assistance any of you may be willing to give! Thanks. -- Warm Regards Bhavya Shah Using NVDA (Non Visual Desktop Access) free and open source screen reader for Microsoft Windows To download a copy of the free screen reader NVDA, please visit http://www.nvaccess.org/ Using Google Talkback on Motorolla G second generation Lollipop 5.0.2 Reach me through the following means: Mobile: +91 7506221750 E-mail id: bhavya.shah125@...

Navigational sounds
Brian's Mail list account
Rather strangely, the click sound amongst others seems not to be being played any more in IE or Firefox even though the start navigation sound is still selected and plays from the control panel dialogue fine on both Windows7 and 10. anyone else noticed this. One is using a usb sound card the other the built in realtek one so i doubt if that is the issue.
It seems to be working on xp though, which is, as someone once said, illogical. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal email to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Re: Issues With Number Processing or Display On Creative Labs Web Page
Antony Stone
There is no ^ symbol on the page (at least, not within the prices we're

discussing). The HTML source code for the price line is: <span class="saleprice red">$369<sup>99</sup> </span> So, what they are showing is a dollar sign, the three digits 3 6 9, and then as a superscript following that, two more digits 9 9. I can't say I'm surprised that NVDA would read this as five consecutive digits 3 6 9 9 9, but there is no symbol of any sort between the dollar amount the the cents. I hope that helps, Antony.
