I don't use Windows 10.  But my impression is that, starting with Windows 7, very few settings need be changed.  I don't recall changing any settings other than show extensions and to use list or details for folders and files.  I don't know if screen-readers do this or if Windows is now smart enough to do this when it sees that a screen-reader is in use, but features that may cause problems such as using certain effects are automatically turned off when a screen-reader is used.  These sorts of things that blind people used to change have been automated and no longer need to be done.  and that has the further advantage that when a blind person unloads a screen-reader, sighted users can see Windows as they are accustomed to.

If there  actually was a question i can't see it, just a statement, unless cyber space ate the question or you hit send to early which I often do, about twice a day. Lol!  What questions  did you have re the windows  Settings? I do agree with you by the way, I didn't even change anything except for the settings under language and speech or what ever that setting was called under the windows I section

It's been  a while since i've used Win10 and  NVDA, so I wanted to tap the wisdom of this group.

 

In addition to setting the default browser, Cortona hotword/keyboard shortcuts, setting folder views to detailed view, adjusting for performance, etc.

 

For the best and most accessible experience with Win10 and NVDA, what are the  must get apps and must configure settings?

Thanks!!

 

Maybee I can respond him in private no?

Um you are asking the wrong question on the wrong list Robert. Do some web searches.

Not sure if you heard but TT 5.3 was just released. I have the link
below. But The public server stinks so is there a list of TT servers I
can look at joining? Any LGBT or blindness servers?

Well that is the only down arrow which is supposed to be a down arrow as the

others depend on the shift status.

Bear in mind that you need to activate the primary cursor down arrow,

and, not the numpad down arrow/number 2 key, like in another

screenreader to invoke read all from current position.

John,
Great question! I have off and on run my own business and for years used
Quicken for what I needed. Then for a time was with an agency and they did
for me what I had done with Quicken.

Went back on my own and decided time to get Quicken again as I had let the
license laps. When I installed the new version, it was a screen reading
nightmare. It was so difficult that I went back to using the APH program,
Money Talks. It is okay, but not what Quicken had done for me in the past. I
am guessing that Quick Books has an interface much like Quicken. I was not
about to do the offered paid upgrade to find that was the case. There have
to be folks other than you and I who would benefit from a good add in.

Hi. A while ago there was a quickbooks addon, but it never seemed to go
anywhere -- I was just wondering if there has been any development over the
last year or two in the addin.

Thanks.

if you use espeak of sapi5, it depend on the valume of your choice in
control panel, valume control.
if you use espeak which is installed by default with nvda, i did not
try other synthesizer,
but for me the valume is loud and i select 60 or 70 for its valume.
also, it depend on the voice that you selected.
which variant are you using?

Its the nvda and the down arrow that you need. Insert down arrow by default.

Hi. I am fairly new to nvda, so please bear with me.

I was reading the user guide and it said if there was a cursor then I
could use nvda-downarrow to read continuously. Now, I thought this
would work in reading the user guide itself, but it only read one
line. Am I missing a setting or does this not work on the web. I am
