If you have winamp, you can download the file and play it but you can't jump from section to section. You'd have to have something like a victor reader stream or plex-talk.

Hi Rose Marie,
If you have an NLS player, you should be able to use it for Daisy books. Of course you won't get a text accompaniment, but it will play them and if properly constructed, you can move by chapters, sections ETC.

NVDA And Automatic Update
inamuddinInam Uddin
Dear I have been using NVDA as a second option screen reader and wanted to use it as my first screen reader but before that I must learn how to use it just like I can use JAWS. Today I’d like to talk about NVDA and automatic update. Whenever an update of NVDA comes, my system is not telling me that the update is available. I have started using NVDA snapshot which roughly updates every day but My NVDA doesn’t announce that an update is available. Can anybody give me the solution? I sincerely hope that my question will be entertained swiftly! With regards from Inamuddin with the Skype ID: Charlsdarwin1

Re: When posts contain email addresses
Gene
Not just Groups.io, any list serve that is remotely
competent doesn't show addressses in the Internet interface. There are
spam bots that look at sites all over the Internet looking for e-mail addresses
to add to spam lists. The addresses are left intact in messages that go
directly to people. They aren't shown on the Internet.

Re: about taskmanager
Marten Post Uiterweer
Paul,
I don't know how it works with NVDA, but you
can also look at an alternative like Process explorer from Sysinternals and
Sysinternals is from Microsoft.
Process explorer can replace the taskmanager
and is much fastr but as I said: don't know how it works with NVDA.
Something you have to know: In a 64 bit windows it is advised to use the
64bit version of process explorer. In the menu there is an option to replace
taskmanager. When you press ctrl-shift-esc, it will open process explorer.
There is no option to undo this action.
When you start the 32bit version of process
explorer you can uncheck the replace taskmanager option.
Regards, Marten

Unless I have a corrupted download there is a problem with the Daisy file in this download. I have tried it in a couple of applications and it is being reported as unreadable in both. This is possibly why people are not managing to read it as a Daisy Book.
For example when I tried to open the daisy package.odf in FS Reader it reported that the file was unreadable . When I try to open it from the context menu in Explorer and point to FS Reader it caused it to crash. As an experiment I tried to also open it in calibre to see the actual file contexnts and calibre also reported it as unreadable. However I did manage to open it in Notepad. However no daisy reader I have can interpret it as a book. David Griffith

You need an mp3 player unless you can look and play the files separately. I haven't looked at the layout of Daisy books enough to know. the whole point of the daisy format is to be able to see material as you listen. JAWS has training material in the daisy format. You can listen to the text, listen to the audio, or skim or search the text to find something and then, listen to the audio. The two are synchronized. There is no additional benefit in listening to the mp3 files in the Daisy book as stand alone files in an mp3 player. You already can get the tutorial in that form..
I should also say that I have hardly used Daisy material. Perhaps there is just Daisy material that is almost all just recorded audio. If so, I would think there would be some sort of text you can look at that indicates the beginning of sections and perhaps gives names of the different sections so you can search for the section you want, then start listening to the audio at that point.

Hello Gene,
You can copy it to HumanWare's victor Reader
players and depending on the structure you can navigate by different levels,
e.g. headings, chapter, page, etc. I have just downloaded the zipped
archive and copied it to my victor Reader Stream 2. There are three levels
of navigation, chapter, heading and phrase, and whatever time jump you have
selected. . There is only audio playback, there isn't associated
text. Before each chapter, there is the NVDA installation
music.
Many thanks to Joseph for all his hard work
recording the tutorial.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett

Re: Unable to start Outlook 2016 While NVDA Is Running
Gene
This answer provides information that is useful far
beyond Outlook.
I'm not sure what's causing the problem
but you can do a lot of things without speech if you know what you do with
speech. You won't hear what you are doing but you can follow a routine you
know works. You can use the Outlook Start
menu search, of which, more later. You can also pin Outlook to the task
bar and then start it with a Windows key plus number command. You can
create a desktop shortcut and assign a shortcut command to it such as control
alt l to make it easy to remember.
I won't go into more explanations of how to do
these things here. If you want to know, ask and I or others will tell
you.
