Re: How to get firefox to read just text on a website?
Hi! Chrome also has an add on call Just Read. It does the same thing as the reading mode in Edge, where all the clutter is gone, and leaves just the text on the page! David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Re: NVDA Is Well Ahead Of JAWS
Kenny <kwashingtonbox@...>
I agree with your statement.
I just switched over from using the latest build of JAWS 2018 to
NVDA 2018.1.1, and I'm quite happy with my decision (Mainly a
financial matter for I could no longer afford the $120+ SMA.) Been
using JAWS since 1999, so you have an idea on how much money I've
spent on it ;P
Took some time for me to adjust my fingers to using NVDA keyboard
navigation, but once done it's very responsive, and with the
installation of ETI Eloquence; sounds just as good.
The only benefit JAWS has over NVDA is the ability to create
application specific scripts easily. JAWS also allowed you to
re-assign classes for windows it would improperly define. Really
wish NVDA allowed this option for there are several applications I
use that it keeps incorrectly treating a listbox as if it was
static text.
Other than that, NVDA is definitely on par with JAWS.

There are some uses for which
JAWS is better. My impression is that NVDA is either as good
or better than JAWS for typical uses such as browsing, e-mail,
working with audio players, and doing other things the
majority of users do. But JAWS is much more user configurable
and the user who knows how to do so can make it work with many
programs that aren't widely used, but that the person may want
or need. A lot of users won't have a need or wish to do so
but the ability to customize JAWS is important for some users.
And there are times when JAWS
works with a certain program better and where NVDA works with
a specific program better.
It's common to see the attitude
among committed NVDA users that it is very superior and to
pretty much dismiss JAWS. that isn't a proper view. for
some, perhaps many, users, NVDA would be superior. but there
are blind people who rely on JAWS in important ways. It's far
better to have choices and I don't hope to see the demise of
JAWS.

It's actually more like the WE mouse than you may

commands for review, including going to the top and bottom of the screen.

Re: How to get firefox to read just text on a website?
In addition to using the view menu, you can also hit ctrl-alt-r once the page is loaded. It doesn't work for everything, but it's pretty cool when it works. As for the question somebody else asked about getting it on other browsers, I think Safari for mac has something like it, but I forget how it works. You can get it in Chrome but I think you have to tinker with the configuration. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-enable-reader-mode-in-chrome/There are also a couple of Chrome extensions that seem to do it, I haven't messed with any of this because I hardly use Chrome. Apparently it's built into Edge, with a keyboard shortcut to boot. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/56266/microsoft-edge-how-to-use-reading-mode/

I use both NVDA and Jaws, and for the most part they both work equally well. There are some programs that work better with Jaws, and many program that work better with NVDA. QuickBooks works well with NVDA and so do many of the ham radio programs I use. Jaws has the advantage with the office suite, but for most people NVDA and office work well.
Occasionally I find software that will only behave with Narrator, but Narrator is not ready for prime time. Stay Well.

Yes, but we can find apps which are not accesible using Jaws also: this depends more on the producer of a specific software rather than nvaccess.
So, I agree on what you say , but this applies to Jaws also.

Well, Chirp is probably nice, however it does not support any of shortwave receivers which I have.

To enable Chrome's reader view: 1. on the Chrome icon, Alt-enter to bring up properties 2. In the Target field, add this to the end of the launch command including the dashes at the beginning --enable-dom-distiller
3. Click OK Now when you launch Chrome, you should have a Distill option under the Alt menu. Use this when reading articles. Works very nice.

Re: NVDA Is Well Ahead Of JAWS
Hi, Peter,
I was using Jaws from 2003 until 2011. I could no longer afford the upgrades so I switched to NVDA. I'm not saying Jaws doesn't have its place as it's a great screen reader. It's just that it was way too expensive for me too since I'm on a fixed income.

The last time I checked, a number of months ago,
Chrome didn't have such a command. There is an add on or perhaps more than
one for this purpose. The one I tried appeared not to be accessible but I
saw a message a while ago, perhaps on this list, from someone using an add
on. So we'll see what we find out from others.

Jaws 2018 OCR has the option of either performing OCR on-screen or from a scanner which is rather cool. Is there any possibility scanner support could be added to NVDA's OCR?
