Re: browsing with edge,
Pascal Lambert
Thanks everybody for the info on using Edge. Please, how does one access the pull down menus in Edge? I keep hitting the “alt-key” and nothing happens. Is there another way in Edge? All the alt key commands of IE seem to be deactivated when I launch Edge. Please advise. Also, I have a set home page, Edge ignores it and goes to the default each time. Many thanks. Blessings Pascal

Hi, I urge you to get the NvDA add on, Windows 10 app assentials. This add on makes NVDA able to access all of the results of Cortana in Edge. Cortana can already do much more than Siri on an iPhone, so I really encourage you to give Cortana and Edge to get her results another try after you install the NVDA add on Windows 10 app assentials that Joseph Lee programs. Using Cortana and accessing the results with NvDA already makes me much more efficient with doing my work. You do not have to do a lot of browsing to find what you want, because Cortana does such a good job of narrowing down what you need and you can read the results right away in Edge and totally access it with NVDA. I just want you to know how much I am getting out of Cortana and Edge by installing that add on to NVDA. Take care.
Hello, Unfortunately there is not a way to disable edge entirely. There are times when it will automatically be used no matter what you have your default browser set to. One instance that comes to mind is when doing a search with Kortana. The search results will always come up in edge.

Re: NVDA and iTunes 12.4
Based upon the search results at the Github trouble ticket page for NVDA: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues there is not anything reported related to that release of iTunes. You should always take a quick look there and add a keyword or keywords to the search criteria box that would get you specific open issues, not all open issues, which is the default. You, and NVDA, are apparently not alone with issues with the new release of iTunes. There is a thread entitled, New iTunes and latest version of JAWS, on the BlindTech forum that might interest you. Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. ~ Henry Rosovsky

Oddly enough, I received your mail thrice. Anyways, it being NVDA's 10th anniversary, NV Access had indicated a potential delay in releasing NVDA 2015.2, and that is confirmed by a slightly late translation freeze. All the same, we hopefully will have NVDA 2016.2 live soon enough. Thanks.

The apps thing is a big list of all the programs installed on your computer. You can navigate using down and up arrow keys. Use the application key for pinning to start screen / etc. I like the start screen, kind of like a second desktop. I unpinned every thing from it and just pinned what I wanted up there. I just have recycle bin on the desktop. Recycle bin can be hidden or removed from the desktop I think. I don't care for the file manager with the search! I mean come on how many search boxes do we really need? I'll even go as far as I like the start screen better than the start menus from 98 and up. It's the greatest thing m s has done in a long while. Pete

Re: browsing with edge,
David Moore
Hi all,

I have spent the last five hours doing more research with win10 apps. I am using NVDA 2016.1, and the latest version of the NVDA add on, Windows 10 apps essentials. Using these tools, here is what I have figured out concerning MS Edge browser. I can open the Edge browser. I can press Alt+D and type in a search or a particular web site address. I type in www.google.com to do my searches in Google. I can use object navigation to read the entire web page and use some short cut keys like H for heading, and E for edit box and so on. I can press CTRL+enter to open a link in a new tab and navigate and read that site easily with object navigation. Using the brows mode with arrow keys works okay, but using object navigation works much better, because the page seems to read a lot faster. For example, if I press ctrl+NVDA+right and left arrows to read word by word with the review cursor, it is a lot more snappy than just using CTRL+left and right arrow keys. I can use object navigation to access all of the buttons like the “more” button. I do the command to bring the mouse pointer to the place of the review cursor, and left click on my touch pad on my laptop. Many buttons then come into view including the settings button. Using object navigation, I can change all of my settings to the way I want them. For example, I just put in the URL that I want opened when Edge is launched. I can read my favorites list, and press CTRL+D to add a web page to my favorites. I can read all results that Cortana puts in the Edge browser. JAWS cannot do any of this that I have described at all with Edge. I must say that Edge is not accessible at all with JAWS, but it is very accessible for me so far with what I have done, with NVDA and having the win10 apps essentials add on. This is very exciting, because all who use NVDA can at least do the basics in the Edge browser already. I just wanted all NVDA users to know this. I read the NVDA web sites in the Edge browser with no problems using NVDA. Take care all. Win 10 is getting more and more accessible every day, it seems like, and I am excited for all of us. So, with NVDA, everything I mentioned so far is accessible in the Edge browser and I haven't tried many things yet with the Edge browser. Maybe you do not need a MS account. Try all of the apps, including Edge, and see if you can use them without an MS account. Have a great one.

With all the drivers automated and updates it means less work for me. With the earch now working for what I need its fine. For the desktop and lock screen being able to be turned off or at least made normal I can see it working. Thats not going to say I will sevenise the os as much as I can from uac down to the start menu. With firefox I can bypass a lot of ms stuff as well as other things. I am unsure about apps that need it using and or not converting my account to an ms one with the dialog as it is right now. I am unsure about edge. So win10 is half there, I do miss the shutdown, logon and off sounds. Interestingly there are simple registry hacks to get the events to appear in control panel however they clearly do not execute for unlock login and off although there are sfx there for the purpose. So its coming at least I know that.

Here is where I stand with 10. When I do eventually upgrade I am confident that with all the advances with features, lockscreens, and other things that I can probably use 10 at least the desktop with vary little modification to the registry. While now that the system has done with indexing I can do single letter search in start and it actually comes up fine. 3. I am confidant that with all the things ms has at least for the desktop I will be fine. 5. I know some of my way round bits of the new ribbon. 6. I am sure with ribbon disabler, and classic shell I may be able to make it look 7 like. 6. I think I am getting used to the task manager bits of action centre and settings. What I havn't figured out are the apps just yet or the ms account thing. I think in the short term if I need to I will be able to use 10 without any real issue.

Re: browsing with edge,

From the time November released , the availability of Cortana
here from my region was inaccessible but I can still use the
normal searching from the start menu instead or typically shifts
to web search engine like Google. More or less, the usual way is
much further better as I could do Robert Mendoza On 5/21/2016 5:53 AM, David Moore

The results from Cortana is accessible, though, so why not use what we can
in Edge instead of waiting until everything in it is accessible. If we can get
some good from Edge, why not use that. Something is better than nothing. That is
how I think anyway. Take care, all.

Subject: [nvda] browsing with edge, and finding links that aren't
links Hi listers ken here have a vexing problem. on two local radio
stations namely WOLD-lp, and WMGQ in NJ I can’t seem to find the listen
live. on WOLD the problem is simpler. the listen live appears as a
heading, but not as a link, clickable graphic or button just the words listen
live. this is the only way to listen to the station without tunein radio
since they have change from a winamp based stream to a flash based popup
player. they have changed stream providors. what must they do to
make there stream appear as a link and not just the words listen live?
then on Magic 98.3 the problem is even stranger. in order to listen to all
greater-media owned stations you must register for their listener clubs.
in the case of magic 98.3 additionally you are only able to listen to them if
you live in NJ, Pa area. same with active rock station WDHA in dover
NJ. must assume the same condition is true with WRAT the jersey shore
based rocker. I have tried on three different browsers to log into the
station and the listen live is nowhere. no button, no links, no
graphics. there are listen links connected to interviews/features but not
the stream. didn’t try the word play but no play buttons exist then just
now using the edge browser with NVDA clearly hit the letter f found the edit
field, but when entered the stupid site thought Oh you searched for your email
address, sorry no such thing. so edge is obviously out since NVDA can’t
seem to focus on the right edit field. so my question is this, how do I
advise the webmasters of both radio stations? especially magic 98.3 since
I’m technically a music club member? the websites for both are
www.woldradio.com for oldies 107.9 and www.magic983.com for WMGQ. perhaps
someone with partial sight can advise on this one. is it a fix on my end
possibly?

Re: browsing with edge,

I think many users will not share your
enthusiasm. Not only does Edge come up, but results Cortana shows are Bing
results and neither of these things can be changed. I would rather do a
Google search using the browser I wish to use than have Microsoft make more
money from sponsors by driving search results to Bing for people who want to use
Cortana. I would rather do a little typing and use the browser I want and
the search engine I want. Microsoft is giving Windows away for now but
they are doing so to make money from users. This is one way they are doing so.

Hi Gene,
Cortana results come up in Edge regardless of which browser you have set as
your default. Good News! NVDA can access the information in Edge that Cortana
gives you when you talk to her. Cortana can already do much more than Siri on an
iPhone, so we should all take advantage of her on our win10 computers. For
example, I ask cortana to give me the baseball scores, and Cortana said the
scores of the games that were live at that time. However, I used NVDA just with
the arrow keys to read all of the scores, final or for games that were still
being played. This is powerful. I asked Cortana to give me information on the
election, and Cortana read an article to me, but there were many more articls to
read in the results in Edge. It is really time to take Cortana seriously,
because we can already use her to do more than Siri can do. This is why it is
important to read those results in the Edge browser, and guess what? NVDA can
access Edge five times better than JAWS. I use both screen readers, and JAWS
cannot do anything with Edge like NVDA can. Take care, and love Edge, because
that is the only browser that Cortana can put her results in, and that
information is indeed accessible with NVDA. Take care, all.
There are certain things that only work with Edge
regardless of whether you had a choice before. Recently, Microsoft made
certain things use Edge regardless of what is set as the default browser.
There may only be two of these things. I know one had something to do with
search, perhaps searching somehow in the start menu. Whatever the case, if
you set another browser as the default and something brings up Edge, then you
probably have no choice but to do whatever you want to do directly from within
the browser you want to use.

Greetings, I find Edge very slow, it takes few mins to have voice feedback when it is launched. I tried to get rid of it and make Firefox the default but it comes back in certain situations. Is there a way to completely disabled it? I prefer using Firefox even though lately it is having problem with Flash player acting strangely. Any suggestions on these issues is greatly appreciated. Many thanks Blessings Pascal

There is more than just speed to consider. Firefox still uses a different interface and it is a more convenient interface. Chrome shows all sorts of things such as history and settings as web pages. Firefox has a lot more add ons. Firefox has a document reading feature that blind people can use. I tried using a Chrome add on for this purpose and I couldn't use it. I don't know if there are other Chrome add ons that implement this feature. It appears to me that Chrome hasn't even put short cut commands on some or many of its menu items. That sore of thing is and has been standard since the mid-nineties.

ofr me it's the same! chrome is in the most situations nice and quick, more than most other browsers. google has made accessibility extentions it is recommanded to install for example the extention that let you navigate with the arrow keys. cheers paul otter
