Re: for Windows 7 users Re: [nvda] NVDA 2018.2 is now available!
Rosemarie Chavarria
Hi, Marilyn,
I think you should be able to go to the "check for updates" and you'll find out if you canupdate your version of NVDA. If not, you'll have to do it through the nv access site which is nvaccess.org.
To find out what version of NVDA you're running, hit the insert key and N to go to the menu. Then arrow down to the help menu and open it with the right arrow. Arrow down to "about" and hit enter on it. You'll hear whart version you're running.
Hope this helps.

Re: for Windows 7 users Re: [nvda] NVDA 2018.2 is now available!
Quentin Christensen
Hi Marilyn, NVDA updates are not cumulative, so you can always download the latest version and run or install it regardless of whether you have any previous version or not. If you do have an existing install of NVDA, it will copy the settings over when you install a new version. The NVDA key will be either INSERT or CAPS LOCK: To find which version of NVDA you have, press NVDA+N to open the NVDA menu, then H for help, then A for about (it's the bottom item in the help menu). NVDA 2018.2 is the current version which came out a couple of days ago. Kind regards Quentin.

Hi All,
I have a beginners question about
NVDA.
Do I need to install the 2017 copy first or can I
just go right into the 2018 one? Also, how do I find out what NVDA I
am using right now? Told you I was a novice!

available! That's what it look like, yes. Which is why upgrading from
NVDA 2017.4 or earlier on Windows 7 finds 2018.2, but upgrading from 2018.1
doesn't (from my limited trial on one computer). We should be able to fix
it but in the meantime, downloading the update manually should work.

Re: NVDA not speaking my images
James Kinney
Thank you, Jonathan and Brian for your responses. Geez, i can be a dope. I understand it would be very difficult to diagnose the issue if you couldn't see where it skips. The image i sent was also not very helpful then. I should
have at least cut and copied the code. My apologies for that over-site.
I will follow up on both your leads. I didn't know about the role=image or ID options.
My hats off to everyone contributing to this project. I'll make a separate post to volunteer to test.

Some memories indicate to me that you should add an id to the title within the SVG and then use the aria-labeledby attribute to point to that id.

What you can do if you really need this add on, if say you are a windows 7 user like myself, is add it to an older version of nvda running portably. then when you do find a problem you need it for, simply launch the old portable version.

Today, when I went to play around with another add on and was reviewing my existing ones I noticed that the OCR add-on page states, " Important: if you are using NVDA 2017.3 or later on Windows 10, please disable this add-on. " Its continued presence may have been messing with Virtual Review, as I could get nothing from Virtual Review until I removed OCR. The above being said, I can't imagine I'm the only person who might have installed an add-on such as this and lost that fact to the mists of memory. I am just wondering if the add-on itself, or the NVDA Add-On manager, has some way of being context sensitive and checking what OS environment it's operating under and giving a message if an add-on should be disabled or removed in that operating environment. It is pure chance that I happened to catch this. It seems to me that there really should be a way that, at the very least, the add-on itself would be sensitive to its OS environment and give a warning if it's being run under an OS version with which its operation is incompatible. -- *Brian* *-* Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.
