Re: NVDA stops speaking
Quentin Christensen
If you, before encountering the issue (ie before closing mail), restart NVDA with addons disabled - NVDA+q then down arrow to that option and enter. Does the issue still occur? If not, that could indicate one of the add-ons is being troublesome. Either way, perhaps a copy of your log might shed some light on it. See here for how to get the log: https://github.com/ Regards Quentin.

tab and arrow keys
Craig
Hi.
Using win10 1803. NVDA 2018.2.1 Firefox 60.0.2
I am finding that when on the webpage using the arrow keys and they don’t follow when I use the tab to a link the arrow keys are still in a textual part like a paragraph of the webpage. Hope this make sense.
So if for example I tabbed to a link and I use the right arrow key it is responding to some part of the text of a paragraph not the link.
I tried both screen review and object review modes. Doesn’t make any difference.
Thanks C
Cheers Craig

Re: text aloud reader
Debra Gardner
the sublinux system may be a great thing, but
unless one is savvy enough to figure out how to find and install it, it's
not going to be very helpful in converting anything. Linux is a bit of a
learning curve if you aren't at all familiar with it as I have
learned and you don't have anyone to walk you through it as
you might have with windows or IOS or even Android.

Normal or not, it the way it is...

We can use a small trick to solve that... The trick is to create a profile triggered by NVDA where this parameter is checked, and that way is not necessary to hear the description in other apps... If you do not know how to create a profile, you can read the User Guide or ask... Regards, Rui Fontes NVDA portuguese team Às 14:38 de 19/06/2018, bering.p escreveu:

Hi, David,
I just set chrome as my default browser now. I just played with edge a bit more. Yes, I agree that chrome is a bit faster than edge. Edge is getting good.

NVDA works great with Edge, and if you press alt+X on a page, you can down arrow and enter on read out loud, and the Microsoft voice you have set will read the page, and you can do this by getting the page in reading mode first, where all the clutter is gone. It is really getting good, but I still think Chrome is a bit faster. Chrome is my default. Take care, Rosemarie! I love to see you on the lists! David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I'll probably start using chrome more. I like how fast it is compared to internet explorer. I have played with edge a little bit.

Hi,
I don't know if there's really a best browser. I mostly use internet explorer but if some sites don't work well with that browser, I'll either use waterfox which is another browser or chrome. I think it's just a matter of preference. You just have to find out what works best for you.

Hi everyone, I just recently started using NDA and using the tutorial produced by Joseph Lee, and am on part 5 of it now. I have discovered a few things I would like to ask about. First of all, from other users perspective, what is the best web browser to use with NDA? I know it supports all 3 major browsers, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Edge, which the tutorial demonstrated all 3, actually 4, as Google Chrome is also supported but wasn’t demonstrated in the tutorial. I noticed when using Firefox, when a link is encountered, it says Clickable, where Internet Explorer does not. I haven’t been to a lot of sights but I notice on one sight, www.komando.com where some text under the headings also say Clickable, even though they are not links. What’s going on here? Also, how does one navigate FaceBook through all those links at the top of the pages, like Notifications, Friend Requests and all those top notifications? It is my understanding that there are hot keys in Facebook that can be used. My wife, who uses Jaws uses the mobile site, m.facebook.com. I’d like to use the regular FB so I don’t miss out, since I’m used to that one, and on my iPhone as well.
Also, in another NVDA matter, I often hear it say, Ping when starting and I have to hit Windows M for the desktop, or when opening messages in Windows Live Mail or when browsing web sites. Any idea what that is supposed to mean?

Some NVDA Questions, New User

Hi everyone,
I just recently started using NDA and using the tutorial
produced by Joseph Lee, and am on part 5 of it now. I have discovered a
few things I would like to ask about.
First of all, from other users perspective, what is the best
web browser to use with NDA? I know it supports all 3 major browsers,
Firefox, Internet Explorer and Edge, which the tutorial demonstrated all 3,
actually 4, as Google Chrome is also supported but wasn’t demonstrated in the
tutorial. I noticed when using Firefox, when a link is encountered, it
says Clickable, where Internet Explorer does not. I haven’t been to a lot
of sights but I notice on one sight, www.komando.com where some text under the
headings also say Clickable, even though they are not links. What’s going
on here?
Also, how does one navigate FaceBook through all those links
at the top of the pages, like Notifications, Friend Requests and all those top
notifications? It is my understanding that there are hot keys in Facebook
that can be used. My wife, who uses Jaws uses the mobile site,
m.facebook.com. I’d like to use the regular FB so I don’t miss out, since
I’m used to that one, and on my iPhone as well.

Re: text aloud reader
Gene
That's not practical for a document that isn't very
short unless you do something like have a file read while you are sleeping or
not using the computer for an extended time. Also, why use a separate
program if you are going to record in that way? You can record your
screen-reader reading a edocument.
Does Text Aloud just read or does it actually create its
own recording of what is being read, allowing you to have a document recorded
while using your computer for other things?
Geene
I find Audacity / Wavepad a more configurable method than I did using Text Aloud (I can't remember if Text Aloud had user dictionaries, but you do have those with NVDA so you can define pronunciations of certain words if needed ... something I use a lot!) Hope that helps :) Giles
