Re: need a free and accessible file converter which can convert wma or webm files to mp3
David Moore
It used to be recommended a lot, and I was able to install it Okay, but from what you say, Brian, that is nothing to mess around with. Mark, you better not mess with it. I would not want someone's computer messed up, because of something I recommended. Let us find another choice. There are a few free file converters out there. I will do some research for others that are accessible.

The Next Billion is an organization that connects people with disabilities with industry leaders, who can support them professionally with the goal of improving diversity and accessibility in the global community. Through our platform, we connect mentees (people with disabilities) with a mentor (industry leader) that can help guide and foster them to achieve their professional goals – based on their field of expertise, relationship with their particular disability and their personal experience. We will be launching our platform in October 2016 and are looking for advisors, mentors, partners or organizations who would be interested in working with us. We are also taking pre-signups for mentees and mentors, who would be the first ones to try out the platform at launch. We already have several mentors from companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and some other financial firms, as well as tie-ups with universities such as Stanford.

Afrim,

As a personal advice, in case that is a possible alternative, I never like PDF files much anyways, with both NVDA and JAWS. Thus, I am converting all my school textbook PDF files into Word, using what is called the Oxillion Document Converter, which you will readily find via a quick google search. Do try and persist to be able to access the material in its original format itself, that is PDF, if you wish to, but as the last resort, bear in mind that a Word conversion trick would probably suffice. Thanks.

Hello: I have Windows 8.1 and NVDA 2016.1. I was able to open the PDF file with Adobe reader 11, QRead 3.5, and MS Word 2016/365. And, as an added bonus I converted it to MS Word file in MS Word. And to plain text in Adobe reader. So, I guess it is a computer specific issue!

Re: Cannot read PDF documents with NVDA
Afrim, I followed the instructions I posted before that had come from Freedom Scientific Technical Support, but with Adobe DC, and it does cause NVDA to read through the document without having to scroll from page to page. There was no OK button at the last step of the things you have to do in Reader DC itself beyond the Accessibility Wizard, you just close the dialog after dealing with the Security (Advanced) setting related to protected mode. The first time I fired up Adobe Acrobat DC with NVDA active it gave me a dialog where I also confirmed that I wanted it to read all pages and infer reading order from document, and to use the accessibility options I'd set in Reader DC itself, then checked the box that said not to show that dialog again. It takes quite a while to pre-process the text you're using because it's 305 pages long, but it does get there, and NVDA reads the whole document from wherever you start the reading. Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. ~ Henry Rosovsky

Re: embedded object in Firefox
Gene
Your question can be answered for specific sites
but there is no general answer. Someone may or may not be able to use the
site and explain how. The site may or may not be useable with other
screen-readers. Some Flash players are accessible and some are not.
Some can be made to work, though not properly accessible.

It looks as if the BorrowBox service is limited to the British Commonwealth. Since your own efforts have shown that you cannot access the site that I have given, I must assume that it is not set up in any library in the United States yet.
I am anxious that we don’t lose sight of the real query that I have raised which is the accessibility of embedded objects in Firefox with the NVDA screen reader. I have illustrated the situation in my email. It would be useful if I could provide a live example of the problem for members of the list but since the web links don’t seem to be yielding the example that I have raised, I hope my details will explain it enough for list members to respond.

It appears to me that Borrow Box is not used in the way you are using it in the United States. I did a search for borrow box and found nothing in the roughly eight results I looked at that is in The United States. I found something about Borrow Box and Apple or ITunes, I'm not sure, but I doubt that is what you have in mind. I didn't go to the site to check. people may investigate the sites they find or try the link you gave. But it may not be able to be investigated from The united States.

Gene,
I see that you feel that the link might be limited to regional properties. You may well be right. So, let me explain that the purpose of the site reference was to enable members of the list to try out the problem on a BorrowBox site that they can access. I am grateful to you for pointing out the regional limitations which I had not thought of.
I can see that there are many library sites that use BorrowBox in the USA. I know there are others in Australia. So, I wonder if members Google the words “BorrowBox library” from their own locations would they find a site that they can access?
Any library that comes up will do for the purposes of demonstration.
I am particularly concerned that we hear from list users who have experience of the difficulty with embedded objects in Firefox so that I can find a solution to my problem with hearing the sample audio on this web site.

I see that the link spreads over two lines and is broken. Could you remove the carriage return that is breaking the link and try again?
Alternatively, you might like to try this link which does still work for me: http://library.bolindadigital.com/southdublinBorrowBox
It is a link to the original test site and you might be able to bring it up. Ignore the sign in links as you cannot sign in but you can preview the books without being signed in.
