I do have an add on but as has been said before, it can say what you like, but its not actually confirming a shortcut has actually worked. The basic code looks very simple to customise though. I may have the add on archived around but its set for cut paste copy etc at the moment and will report the keys for these even if the function is not available in the software. There was an attempt to write a more intelligent way, but it turned out to be slow and triggered spurious memory errors in word. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

The problem with narrator is that its not originally designed to be intuitive. Yes they give it more features, but it needs to have a rethink on its implementation, as its still based on the original get you going angle, not the convenient screenreader model everyone else uses.

Re: Accessible EPUB Reader

Hello,

I think epub Reader is still available in Firefox. I too bought Qread years ago, and I use it all the time, although it parses books, and doesn't maintain the links and format. Adobe Digital Editions is accessible too, although I don't seem to be able to navigate through the links. A couple of days ago, quite by chance, I discovered that there's an epub reader in Edge as well. It does a fair job, I think, especially with commercial ebooks, because you can navigate through links very easily and consistently. I had difficulty with epubs that had been converted from some other format, and had no internal links. After the first page, I couldn't proceed to the next, but I believe this is because I don't know how to do that, rather than because it can't be done. Any suggestions along these lines would be greatly appreciated. Ciao, Ollie

Brian's comment about Narrator is relevant to this thread, has anyone tried narrator lately? it's a nightmare as far as I am concerned, I just go round and round in circles, long may NVDA continue to prosper. Incedentally, Freedom scientific are proposing doing away with 40 minute mode for Jaws, in favour of a 30 day trial, after which you will need to pay for the program, I heard that on one of their Webinars, or whatever they call them, when Eric Damery was talking to Jonathon Mosen, Sorry for the off topic comment, but I know many people use Jaws in 40 minute mode as an extra reference source.

occasional problem with v. 18.1
Laurie Mehta
Hi,
I have NVDA 18.1 on a laptop that's running up to date Windows 7. I tend to keep this laptop hibernated when not using it and I shut down and restart weekly for the Windows updates. Since updating my NVDA to 18.1 I frequently find there's no sound when I open the laptop. I've used the key command for starting/restarting NVDA but still no sound. A sighted person has told me that the NVDA sign in dialogue is on the screen even though there's no sound and the laptop is NOT muted. Fiddling around, escape key and such, gets me some sound even if I end up finding two NVDA icons in the system tray after regaining sound. I click on one of those and it goes away. I apologize if this explanation sounds confusing... Do any of you have any idea what's going on and what I could do to avoid the problem? Also, on another issue, does the newest Firefox work with NVDA and Win7, or should I continue to wait before updating my Firefox? Thanks, LM

FW: [nvda-spl] Request for comments: introducing Playlist Transcripts and Playlist Analyzer
Hi, If you have any comments, please send your comments to the nvda-spl list (NOT HERE). Cheers, Joseph

Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2018 8:57 PM To: nvda-spl@nvda-spl.groups.io Subject: [nvda-spl] Request for comments: introducing Playlist Transcripts and Playlist Analyzer
Hi everyone,
As part of the SPL add-on development process, I would like to receive comments on the following proposals:
Few days ago, a broadcaster sent a message to NVDA users list suggesting a feature for SPL add-on where various info about a playlist can be copied to the clipboard or to a text file. This is in part inspired by a feature in JAWS scripts for SPL Studio where playlist info can be copied to the clipboard or stored in a file. After thinking about this for a while and looking at usage scenarios, I felt it would be best to implement this in the add-on. Possible usage scenarios include sharing a list of tracks for a show to listeners for future reference, keeping a record of tracks for royalty reasons and what not.
When it comes to actually implementing it, I found that it is an easy task: have a list of tracks somewhere, which will then be stored in a text file. But if I did just that, it would amount to “stealing”. Thus I decided to add a little twist to this feature that will surprise current and potential users.
The result: Playlist Transcripts. For those who may have forgotten what a “transcript” is, a transcript is a textual record of spoken word, or for some people, a comprehensive academic record. I’m calling it “playlist transcripts” because not only this feature will “transcribe” playlist information, but it’ll also store the transcript into a file or prepare it for copying and pasting somewhere.
But that’s not all: you’ll be able to tell NVDA to “transform” playlist data into numerous formats: text to be copied and pasted to and from clipboard, text file with numerous track info formats, an HTML table, a nested HTML list, CSV (comma-separated values), a Markdown table, an m3u playlist, you name it. Plus, you’ll be able to not only capture the entire playlist, but also a part of it, and perhaps in the future, limit transcripts based on information entered into columns such as looking at tracks from a specific genre. And the cool thing is that NVDA has all the necessary building blocks to make this (surprise) into a real thing.
Also, given that playlist analysis features are expanding, I’m thinking about grouping various features under one brand, tentatively known as “Playlist Analyzer”. This feature will group track time analysis, playlist snapshots, and the new playlist transcripts under a common theme. All three have (or will have) something in common: playlist analysis range, defined by a playlist analysis marker (SPL Assistant, F9). For example, if you wish to analyze an hour’s worth of tracks, you can mark the hour marker for that hour, move to the last track of the hour and either take a snapshot (showing statistics on tracks for the hour such as average duration and top artist), get total duration (track time analysis), or view a CSV representation of that hour’s playlist (playlist transcripts).
As for when these will appear: playlist transcripts will be done over several months, and Playlist Analyzer theme will be ready as early as version 18.06 (around NVDACon 2018). To give you a taste of what playlist transcripts will look like, I’ll release a fast ring snapshot around March 23rd that’ll let you see the playlist data as an HTML table (on a separate window), invoked via SPL Assistant, X (eXperimental).
If you have any comments, additional suggestions, questions, concerns and what not, please let us (this list) know. Cheers, Joseph

Waterfox Works Well With NVDA And A Question
Ron Canazzi
Hi Group,
Waterfox works quite well with NVDA. I suppose it's no surprise--since the basic underlying code is Mozilla. This is only for 64 bit systems. It is supposed to work well with unsigned add ons. I was hoping it would work well with the latest add on version of Webvisum. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work with Webvisum. Has anyone else been able to get Webvisum to work with Waterfox? The latest version of Webvisum is signed. I wonder if a previous version of Webvisum would work with Waterfox--the one that is unsigned. If it can be made to do so, that would be a great boon to anyone who is now having to pay for Renola or Capcha Be Gone. Thanks for any help. -- They Ask Me If I'm Happy; I say Yes. They ask: "How Happy are You?" I Say: "I'm as happy as a stow away chimpanzee on a banana boat!"

I would recommend Balabolka as well. It works only for the PC at this point, but I can convert to other formats and read it on the Victor Reader Second Generation as text files and I can even convert to MP3 and listen on the BARD NLS Player or other MP3 players.

I know you can read EPUB files with Microsoft Edge, but I was unsure of how well that works since I don't use Edge very much at all. I have Adobe Digital Editions, and reading books is accessible, but the list of books in my library isn't. It doesn't read any of the information about the book, so I have to use OCR to see which book I'm focused on, which is really annoying. I do like how Adobe Digital Editions syncs all books I add to my library with my Adobe account, but I'm willing to do without that if there's a more accessible alternative. Does anyone know of one? Thanks.John
