The easiest thing to do would be to record in this way and then you can apply the necessary volume gain to your voice track after the fact until you get the mix you want, then save the Audacity project file out to some common audio format like mp3. Also, have you checked what the recording volume is for your USB microphone? You might be able to boost that if it's not already at 1.0 (I wish Audacity expressed this as 0 to 100 rather than 0.0 to 1.0). -- 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.

I had to end up calling the microsoft disability line. The girl there helped me to uninstall it. She had to go into the registry to get rid of it. Well, it's gone now. I should have thought carefully before installing it. It doesn't work with windows 10 at all. Rosemarie

Re: Windows 10 App Essentials 18.07.1
#addonrelease
Hi everyone, Windows 10 App Essentials 18.07.1A is now available, fixing an issue in modern Calculator where NVDA kept announcing “heading 1” or similar as part of calculation results, caused by XAML markup. Note that Narrator does announce this as heading level 1, so in theory, this announcement is correct; however, for backward compatibility reasons, this announcement has been suppressed in NVDA.

Re: a question about recording with audacity
I don't see any reason why not provided the microphone is positioned such that it can pick up both the output from the speakers from the screen reader and your voice, too.

Re: accessibility training is important too.
Gene
I keep away from technical support robots as much
as possible. I have, on one or two occasions, repeated to a mindless human
robot that I am blind two or three times, after the person/robot asked me the
same question, such as pertaining to lights, two or three times. Are they
mindless robots or are they robots because the job turned them into mindless
robots? As Charles Ives said in a song he wrote about industrialization,
"Human beings gone machine."
And I don't want to disparage robots. Artificial
intelligence might allow support bots to handle such a situation better than
human robots.

You'd think they didn't know their products sometimes.Back to my comment a moment ago on scripts - sometimes these are literal so sometimes your presumption is correct. As Jackie observed, "Those folks generally are just a bunch of script readers. They can't go past it because they don't have the knowledge (& sometimes wherewithal) to go further." Also, you tend to get a lot of "least skilled" people pitched behind tech support desks, which is the diametrical opposite of what should be done, but I get the business tension with regard to putting your best technicians (some of whom, but not all of whom, lack people skills) in a customer service position where most of what they know will not be needed on any routine basis. I make a point of doing post-service surveys whenever they are offered with regard to experiences with technical support. I have often said that technical support is frequently neither technical nor supportive. When I get someone who's one or the other, but not both, that feedback is given. When I get an exemplar of someone who integrates both things and has "people skills" wrapped up with it they get that feedback, too. Really good technical support people are as rare as hen's teeth and the really good ones should be identified by those served so they can get the recognition and, I hope, monetary reward that they so justly deserve. -- 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.

Maybe we need a simple to understand explanation, as much of this has grown over time and additional parameters have been added as needed to control stuff, but precious little detail seems to be around.You really have no idea just how frequent and common this is as very few software projects put nearly the emphasis on documentation, both for their programming team and end users, that they should. This issue is complicated by the fact that there exists a very strongly embedded culture among a very large swath of programmers that, "the code is self documenting," so comments are not used and that it's "a waste of my time" to work with technical writers to create the manuals for either future programmers or end users. It's had a pernicious effect since day one. Features, and their attendant data changes, get added of necessity or desire, but documentation surrounding same often never gets updated or created. I've encountered this recently with regard to the Read-Only attribute on folders under Windows, which employs a 3-state checkbox [which should have been implemented as a radio button group, if you ask me], that is virtually undocumented.

That's probably a synthesizer issue, as far as I know NVDA doesn't attempt to distinguish between the various types of dots other than the sentence ending and the symbol.

In praise of Waterfox
Brian's Mail list account
One other thing I really like about it is the no messing way you can get auto log in to run on web sites. for some reason, firefox nearly always fails to log in automatically and sometimes simply refuses, where as with the basic defaults, Waterfox just works.
I feel Fireffox are suffering from far too complexity for their own good and in doing so have compromised a lot of what it used to offer. I would also urge Nvaccess to support waterfox by testing all new code on it as well as the other main browsers, as unless they foul something up big time it does seem to be gaining a lot of friends of late. I think the only thing I miss is the ability to clear out the clutter and read the text mode. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Re: more on symbol pronounciation
Mohamed
Level indicates at what symbol level the character is spoken, and
preserve controls whether the symbol is actually sent to the
synthesizer or not, so for the bang/exclamation point, its
replacement is spoken at symbol level all and is always sent to
the synthesizer so it can decide to handle the punctuation mark in
the way it chooses. The sentence ending version of the period is
used at the end of sentences, and the other period entry is used
for everything else.

Re: waterfox accessibility message
The only things I have set is keyboard navigation and to not block alerts from autorefresh.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The thing is that it uses both classic and quantom engines, in theory at least, if one engine will not work it will go back on the other, however it also means it will support the old classic addons and new web extention standards. By default, it will not do multiprocesser either which is nice. By default, it at least with the modules I have, will not always complete sites like registrations or capchas unless I run it in vanilla mode but that does mean things will run as they should. I hope it continues as it does.

Yes one thing I find about the current waterfox is that it seldom misses loading a page and presents the try again of firefox. it also does not go berserk warning you of trivial issues with web sites and presents understandable alerts that you do not need to be a dictionary or avid reader of help files to understand straight away. I have to also say that some bits of nvda might benefit from a less programmer driven language in explanations too.
