NVDA Very Slow With The Internet
Hi good people:
I am still having I use windows 7-32 Bit. I just can't think of whao toproblems with NVDA still responding too slowly when I am accessing the internet. I thought it was a problem with the synthesizer, but I have changed the synthesizer, but the problem has continued. Although other probems with the old synthesizer have now been taken care of by the new one. But this problem of slow internet access is still a problem. I have the demo copy of JAWS installed on my computer, and it works accurately on all browsers. But NVDA does not. I have the latest update of the windows operating system,

feedback and loving the next snapshot
David Mehler
Hello,
I think the subject says it. I just tried an install portable of the next NVDA snapshot! I love it! First the positive, the new control panel layout, that is great! That to me is going to be my most favorite feature of the next release (I'm falling over my words). I love the new control panel, I am also liking the integration of win10 OCR, one thing though question with older windows versions will the OCR addon need to be used? I love the play sounds when autosuggestions appear option, I was noticing it in I think 2017.4 but just found the setting, love it! I realize it's minor but it's quite nice. Before I get in to my comment/potential slight negative I've got a question. I'm running win10 1709 with this latest next snapshot. What synthesizers are bundled with it? I ask because I heard list talk about a new Espeak-NG, if it's here I am really not hearing the difference. Is there builtin support for SAPI 4, SAPI5, Microsoft Speech platform, and windows 1 core voices or is that because i'm running it on 10? If they are integrated I like that, but I am noticing a slight sluggishness with the windows 1 core voices, I'm using David and I had to max his voice rate out and even then there's a slight sluggishness. It's just a perception. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dave.

Yes, you can use the Universal USB installer, and you select the Windows installer for what you are installing, it is not called WinPe on the list of operating systems. You can get that at: https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ Glenn

It's not accessible, but for now it works. I use aira every time I want to do this which is just once. By the way formatting and installing only take 5 minutes on my machine.

One place to get it is:

https://blog.bryansmart.com/talking-windows-7-pre-installation-environment/ This one is the Windows 7 version, and you can still do quite a bit to repair and copy from a Windows 10 installation. There are Windows 10 copies available, but I can only access that page from home, my work network does not allow me to access that site, or even to send the URLs. So if you want a 10 version, someone here will likely post that for me. Glenn

Re: Windows 10: where do I find updates?
JM Casey <crystallogic@...>
It’s a perfectly fine way of using Windows. I use the search box and the run command with almost equal frequency. I almost never use the menus anymore. My brain has pretty much defaulted to the standard of giving a path/directory structure when someone asks where something is in Windows, which is not necessarily how they think as they often use the menus. The thing is, those can be changed; programs can be moved around in different groups and such without actually changing their locations on the drive, so telling someone where to find a particular application using Windows menus is not necessarily going to be totally useful.

I probably should learn my way around, but it's just so easy to do a search and find what I want that way. the other day, someone was recommending that I go and look at my privacy settings because that's what she does after doing a major windows update, and I found them by doing the search.

Hi First of all, I tried the latest next snapshot. I really like the new NvDA settings center dialog. This is really gunna be a big hit when it comes out for 2018.2! Second, the windows10 april 2018 update went good for me. NVDA and the latest win 10 apps essentials addon works quite well/ And third. If you have not done so already, I recommend signing into windows10 using a pin rather than a password. It makes the whole sign in process much easier whether it’s a laptop or tablet, signing in for me using a pin is lots easier. And I have a num pad on the right of my keyboard, so I can just turn on numLock, put in my numerical pin, and after I put the last digit, it just signs me in.
