Hi,

 

I rarely have that problem but when I do, I go to the file menu and arrow up to exit. You could give that a try and see if it works.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA keeping Outlook 2007 from closing properly

 

Hi!

I'm observing that when NVDA is running, no matter if it's 2017.3, 2017.4 or 2018.1 rc1, Outlook 2007 does not close properly, that is, it stays behind in the system tray. When NVDA is not running, Outlook will fully close.

Anything I might try?

Best regards,

Felix

I have not had it today, but did once yesterday. I'll try the new rc and see if that will be OK. I expect the odd download failure but it seems to me that in certain countries failure is the norm not the exception in this situation. In the the NZ SA and AU areas are these the main places where its failing?
Did not the downloads used to come from microsoft wservers but now we see this apveryor or whatever it is.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Master snapshot is only 540k

Hi Quentin


Just tried again today to download the latest snapshot with 16 at the end of it and still getting the same problem wheather you do it from inside of the master snap shot or actually going to the snapshots page and downloading it that way.

If the second way is chosen it does not come up with the error but will let you save it but it never really comes down only part and even when left it dies.


When i went to do it through the master snapshot i get the same message as below.


C:\Users\hurri\AppData\Local\Temp\uRVRN1vw.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.


I then went to the nvaccess website put in my email address to get the 2017.4 release and what do you know I have the 2017.4 fully downloaded to this computer and it starts up.



I also did a reset on the modem to see to see if there were problems there but even after that it still does it. At present i am doing a disk clean up just in case there was a corrupted copy causing it but do not think so.


I just thought i let you know it is still doing it and i guess as long as i can get the next release of nvda when it comes out it is a good thing.

Makes you wonder if it is a geographical thingy with a server?

Hi Howard,

Most users would use the regular stable release (2017.4 currently), available from the main page.

The "Snapshot" builds are "beta" versions, which are built in between the stable releases, so that anyone interested can test out new features, check whether bug fixes do indeed fix reported bugs (and don't introduce any new ones), etc.

They are available from: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapshots/

The "Next" snapshots are newer, like "alpha" builds and may not necessarily be as stable.

The "Master" snapshots (as mentioned in this thread) are more like "beta" quality - they have features and fixes which have been in Next for a couple of weeks and are hopefully more stable.

While anyone can download them, we do recommend that you keep a stable version of NVDA on hand in case things don't work as planned with the snapshot builds. As for size, they are a similar size to the regular stable release, around 20MB.

If you download and run one, it should work much like the stable version - ie bring up the same dialog offering to install etc.

Kind regards

Quentin.

I wonder failing all of that if there is a keep alive setting in WGet where it will just keep trying and resuming until the download is gotten, or you can try it from a remote box via ssh somewhere and then download it from there later.

Hi Brian


I just tried getting the snapshot with sea monkey and doing it manually and i get the following message below.


C:\Users\hurri\AppData\Local\Temp\1yjDH9cM.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

Even if it does start downloading it dies shortly after.


It seems to do it in all the browsers not download but other sites will let me download stuff.


It is weird how some can get it and not others.


so am guessing now do i contact nvaccess since it is there server?

So downloading files like podcasts etc elsewhere is no issue, or maybe programs?
If not then its a routing issue to the servers from your location by the sounds of it, but its very odd. Anyone else you know in your area who can also try it? Might be good to see if its your end or in fact a widespread issue.
I guess you could try some pings to the server address and see if the round trip time or packet loss is unacceptable.

Hi Gene


No problems with the internet or going to the snapshots page etc it is say when you go to either update the master snapshot through the help section it goes up to the server and then you press the enter key on the save one to download it it is just not downloading from there server that way and even if you go to the main page where the snapshots are and click on the file to download it you still get the same result. Some of the file might come down maybe 400 k or so some times more but never the whole program.


The anti virus is not stopping it either. I have also tried different browsers still the same result.


It seems to be wanting me to retry the download all the time so is not downloading from the snapshots page but no problems any where else for downloading.

I doubt it. There may some problem in your area or in your part of the country that is interfering with Internet communications between there and the server. there is no reason that different servers would be used.

Hi


Nar no matter which browser you use and which way it is just not coming down. I even tried it on the next snapshot and the same results.


I also did it with either the save link thingy in mozilla fire fox and what ever the others are called as well.


it is weird how you and some others can get it but not me. I used to be able to get it every week apart from this weekend.


I am guessing maybe other servers are used for you guys?

Hi guys


is the servers playing up? For the last couple of days i have been trying to download a master snapshot and each time it comes down it is only about 540k. Is the server playing up? for when i go to click on it up comes a security smart screen I think it is the windows one.


I am also wondering if things have changed like it is a stub then it gets the main file? I am guessing not.


I usually like once a week to see what might of gone into it each week.


Has any one else had the same problems?


This was doing it from inside of the master snapshot under the help section.


I have also tried it from the main page and still got the same results.


This was again on feb 18th and also tried on the 17th

This email is being sent to you as you asked about OE Classic accessibility in the past.

We are happy to inform you that the version 2.8 beta (date 20th February 2018) has a couple of new windows adjusted for accessibility - most notably - Options window which was entirely unreadable to screen readers and Message rules windows.

Some other windows have improved recently as well such as message viewer, message editor and a few others.

Since we now have better understanding how to properly adjust windows we will be continuing our quest of making OE Classic more accessible and from time to time new windows will be improved for their accessibility. We test with NVDA but from what we hear back, it works even better with JAWS.

This is a one-off notification and we won't be sending any further notifications about accessibility improvements to you. However, if you want to continue receiving notifications about it - simply write us an email back and we'll add you to another notification list where we will inform you periodically about accessibility improvements. So if we don't hear back from you - you won't be notified any further but have in mind that we will continue to improve accessibility further.

If interested in receiving further info, simply reply back and let us know you want to receive periodical info about improvements to this.

best regards,

I have all my subscriptions on daily summary but yeah. Blind Spot is fully accessible because it only communicates through speech API'S including your screen reader or SAPI engine. It is entirely keyboard driven. You can even control it using other windowed programs too because the commands are vastly different. It's great! Now the code has moved to github I'm sure it will get a lot more love.

Hi, Anthony,

While the podcast is playing, hit the alt key and arrow down to the file menu. Hit enter on it and arrow down to "save as". Next, follow the prompts for downloading a file. You'd type in the name of the file and then tab to the save button and hit either space bar or enter on it.

Hope this helps.

Just above where you can download the Windows binaries on:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng

There is a table showing minimum version. For Windows it says you
need Windows 8. I wasn't 100% sure whether that was if you were
compiling it yourself or for the binaries as well, but that could be the
reason.

I'll have a look and see when we plan to update to one of the newer

Hi Simon,

What version of eSpeak-NG are you using? Looking at:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases indicates that
the latest version is 1.49.2, which we updated to prior to NVDA
2017.4.

Having said that, I know there are still issues with eSpeak,
some of which are tracked on our issue tracker, and some on
eSpeak-NG's here:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/issues

Kind regards

Quentin.

Surely if you are using it on a system like mine with windows 7 which
is still supported, they should use this as their base version supported.

Just above where you can download the Windows binaries on:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng

There is a table showing minimum version. For Windows it says you
need Windows 8. I wasn't 100% sure whether that was if you were
compiling it yourself or for the binaries as well, but that could be the reason.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Re eSpeak-ng saying it won't work on Win 32, at a guess you may
have downloaded the 64-bit version - on that eSpeak-NG download page:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng#binaries you can download
Windows binaries for 64 or 32-bit.

I'll have a look and see when we plan to update to one of the newer
eSpeak-NG builds in next.

No we were just trying to save you time.
I think one thing I've found is that google likes things in quotes and
also
like colons if you want to search for more than one thing.
otherwise you tend to get scatter gun result. If you pin it down too
hard
it often fails to find anything at all however.
I might also suggest the search engine at startpage.com as its very
configurable and allows links to be opened through a proxy if you are a
bit
suspicious. Note you need to configure it heavily and use the configured
page in your bookmarks or it looks far worse than Google result wise.
I'd actually like to be able to turn of image results in google as now
that
people are able to enter descriptions when making blogs and web sites,
these have increased to epidemic proportions of late, but often are not of
any use to me.

As a general role I do my best and google for what I need first. This
causes me to learn about operateors etc and I might get information a
lot
faster than this list, or any other lists. If I cannot find the info I
will
reference the fact I did google for it and got no results.

A Google search for OE Classic identities shows this article as the
first
result:
https://www.oeclassic.com/online-help-identities

Yes, it has identities. It doesn't say whether they are available in
both
the free and paid versions.

See this page, containing a table about features. You can't read it
using
table commands but just down arrowing through it reads self-explanatory
lines and it makes perfect sense and is in logical order.
https://www.oeclassic.com/
Identities are only available in the pro version, which you must pay
for.
Message rules are available in both versions.

The question is, does it have identities in a free or relatively cheap
version. This and message rules are the most important things along with
read and unread flag reading etc.

I did some web crawling. The pro version has identities, so not sure if
that
is something you want, but I would comb through all of their news
section
( https://www.oeclassic.com/news ) to see what features have been added.
The
free version is on 27 now. 28, the more accessible version, will be free
when the pro version shoots up to 29. I can wait. No big deal for me,
but
I

think it is a one time payment? And you get upgrades for life? I'll have
to

look at the website again though.

Hi all,


NVDA 2018.1rc1 has just been released. This will be identical to the 2018.1 final release unless any critical bugs are found.
