Hi all,

Windows 10 App Essentials 18.05.3 and 18.06 are out. Make sure you go over a notice I posted a few hours ago regarding which version to use. Later today, a corresponding pilot development snapshot will hit the air.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi everyone,

In a few hours I’ll release Windows 10 App Essentials 18.06 and 18.05.3. Due to vast differences in some code sections, both will be released at the same time, targeting different NVDA versions:

• 18.05.3: NVDA 2018.1.1 and earlier.
• 18.06: NVDA 2018.2 RC and later (including stable version).

Please follow the below procedure from start to finish:

1. Windows 10 App Essentials 18.05.3 will hit the air first. Please use add-on update check facility to check for this version.
2. Shortly afterwards (in a matter of minutes), version 18.06 will hit the air. If you happen to be using 18.05.3 and find that version 18.06 is offered: say “yes” if you are using NVDA 2018.2 RC or snapshot builds; say “no” if you need to keep 2018.1.1 or earlier around until 2018.2 hits the air.
3. If you accidentally install 18.06 on a computer running NVDA 2018.1.1, or install 18.05.3 on systems with NVDA 2018.2, don’t worry – procedures are in place to help you upgrade/downgrade to appropriate release. I’ll provide direct links for those who need them.
4. Once NVDA 2018.2 stable hits the air, add-on 18.06 will be offered to everyone.

The above procedure does not apply if you are using development snapshots of this add-on (both regular and pilot variants). However, due to code differences between regular and pilot snapshots, regular development snapshots will be paused for a while. Once NVDA 2018.2 hits the air, development snapshot variants will merge back into a single variant – regular builds until a new NVDA snapshot calls for separating the variants again.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi,

I’m trying to update my resume, and am having a serious issue.

NVDA will not read it.

What can I do?

I’m using NVDA 2018.2RC2

Thanks,

Hello,

I've been experimenting with SecureCRT. I can log in, but then it says Term
and won't do anything. I'm using a Braille display. If I get past the
login problem, does Braille have to be tethered to review? the computer
does not have a separate numpad. How can I use my display?

Thanks,
John

Hi,

I’m trying to get skype to work on windows 10. I went to download it but it says I have already got it. I did buy office 365 and I have skype for business. Is that the same thing as normal skype?

I see there is a new update recently put out. I went and tried to update. However, it just beeps and sits there for minutes. Not sure why.

I just obtained that newest NVDA snap shot that you speak of. I was able to get it from updates, download it, and install it in a couple of minutes. This must be a hit and miss thing depending on what device, area of the world, maybe or something.

I am able to update to the next snapshots just fine!

Hello:

 

For a while now, I've had issues when updating to new snapshots of NVDA.

It's a hit and miss deal with me.

 

 

Currently, I"m running a fairly new install of Windows 10, 1803. The

version of next I'm running is NVDA next-15159,465f57b2. There is a

newer snapshot available, but, I can't get it through update functionality.

 

 

How can we troubleshoot this and get it fixed permanently? This problem

has persisted for a bit now, a month or two, possibly. Any ideas to help

with this are appreciated.

Hello I used the NVDA development board 15174 and found that just opening an NVDA setup meeting and then closing and opening at this time NVDA will prompt you that there is currently a window running.

dear all

Long time no post here

As we know now windows 10 available for emoji shortcut via press

windows key +. Or windows key+;

But maybe NVDA doesn’t support yet or I don’t know how to do it

Do you have any idea guys
