Re: some questions about NVDA
Flexible web maintains a database of web sites and then can do one of two things when a site is loaded.
- Changing the initial place where the screen reader speaks.
- Hide a sub tree of the current page from view by the screen reader.
The selectors are usually something like:
- all frames,
- first frame with the title Advert
- Third H3 heading
- Last H3 heading
- List with class TOC
Take care.

Subject: Re: [nvda] some questions about NVDA
Hi Abdul,
1) I haven't been paying attention, I'm not sure what Flexible web is?
4) Re OCR has gone downhill. I'm not sure. It's not even something that's easy to replicate
5) There are several performance issues with Office we are slowly working on. If you have a particular one in mind, search for it on our Issue tracker and you will hopefully find a relevant conversation to follow: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues
6) Unlikely. The problem is that CAPTCHAs are designed to make you do something that proves you are a human, so bots and computer generated algorithms can't get past them. Ergo, WE can't write an algorithm to defeat them (and if we do,
they will change the test, because if we can, the spammers can too). The best approach is to advocate for change in addressing the problem that CAPTCHA seeks to solve.
7) Not sure off the top of my head. After it happens, if you could send me a copy of your NVDA log, ideally at debug level (to
info@... ) I can have a look and try for you.

Hi all. Here are some questions I want to ask
1.
Can we expect flexible web with NVDA in future?
2.
What about the screen curtain addon for NVDA?
3.
As you all know, Narrator has an image description feature, why we doesn’t have this important feature in NVDA?
4.
In the early updates of win10. When the win10 OCR implemented on NVDA. It recognize almost everything, for example, the photos in photos app, even I used it for reading video games menu. But now, its very laggy. And doesn’t recognize
as it was before. Why is that?
5.
In Microsoft office 2013 or 2016, the NVDA has so many delays, while reading, writing, and while reading the ribbon menus, why?
6.
In the modern browsers like the Firefox quantum, solving captcha images is the main issue for many vi people. Can we expect a feature in NVDA for it
7.
Last question, I’m using Microsoft mail app. And I’ve created a sepret profile for it. Sometimes after reading or replying to a mail. When I press windows plus m to move to the desktop. The NVDA stops reading anything. And it force me
to restart the NVDA, why?
I hope all of the above mentioned problems will be fixed in the
Future!
Keep the NVDA alive!

Re: New Google results page??
To be a little more specific about this, There are usually a few category areas on the google results page. These are often titled: Videos, Top News, Search Results, Advertising... These are always at H2 level so can be gotten to with the number 2 shortcut.
On my most recent search there were two H1 headings The first: "Search Modes" followed by a set of text fields that are actually more like buttons to select News or Videos or Shopping. The second "Search Results"
Each individual item and the "next" page bbutton are all at H3 levels. On this search I found it interesting that there was Top News, then Web Results (with some of the same links as top news) and then Videos and then more Web Results.

I use the preview builds so yeah. And some sites like reddit go busy
There is no way to set up rezillio as a service in mac os by the way. You get stuck with an inaccessibe html page you can’t even access to add folders etc. I don’t know how to set it up as a service on windows but yeah that was the advice I got from someone soemwhare lol!

I understand that you prefer Chrome, but we sometimes have to switch browsers for certain services. I am not sure of the answer of setting this up as a service. If that does not work for you, you might need to use Safari for it. What issues are you having in Safari?
You might also check if there is a VoiceOver mailing list that would be better suited for this topic. I mean better suited as in you may be able to expand to a larger audience of just VoiceOver users, as you are asking about Mac.
Good luck! Mike

I just prefer chrome and safari right now has issues. Anywy, is there a way to get rezilio sync working on mac this way I can use it on both mac and windows and just sync stuff I need from one machine to another when I need to. I heard you can set it up as a service and getit out of the way but this is all new to me.

Wish that rezilio sync were accessible for mac os, but the author does not want to do this even though he nows that we have isues. If the interface were accessible wiht chrome I would use it but sadly I don’ think it will be.

This is way way way way and about 10 more ways overcomplicating your case.
1. firefox, open your sync interface.
2. FInd folder you want removed. Hit capslock shift m on it.
3. BOttom of the screen with control end, you'll find a remove link. Click it.
All done.
No need to rebuild databases, remove indexes. That just hurts more than helps in long term.
The only thing I do is remove the .zip and .log files in the appdata folder.

Hi.
Is there a way for us blinks to disconnect and remove folders.
I have had one that hasn't downloaded much over ages due to slow connection and download rate with users, etc.
Well suddenly it seems bt sync seems to be stuck trying to sync it, and not doing so unless its indexes are dammaged, I have killed the indexes but to be honest, if I could remove it from my sync that would be fine, its not an important folder and I can probably gleem it from somewhere else, then again, I may just get rid of it totally its not like something I need, there are other folders I could just munge at this point.
However right now I need to rebuild my entire sync database.
I'd leave syncing completely and if it were not for ultrabit I'd do just that.
reality is though that because I am going to be replacing this box sometimes this year and just want to keep it going, the easiest way out of this, is to delete my sync profile, uninstall resilio sync and leave it at that.
I will retry today but if it doesn't work, I am going to probably temperarily stop syncing my files at least for now.

Re: Intermittent lack of feedback in Windows Explorer
Hi! With a lot of entering and backspacing back out of folders I was able to make it happen once on current alpha. But it's much, much better. Just tested on Win 7. @Joseph does this match your theory? Best, Felix

When feedback fails to occur, it will then simply not occur no matter how long I would wait. It is genuinely different behavior rather than just slowed down normal behavior. When cursoring up and down, does the selcted item get said after a delay, and if so and you hear that, can you then select the file?
I had this with explorer both on windows 7 and 10, and it was the processor in the computer actually not running at full speed. It seems on many laptops the processor is slow to catch up with demand and hence the actual selection is behind the one you think it is on, or worse, on nothing at all! I'm sure somebody else will respond but I had to go digging into advanced power management and crank up the idle speed to at least 50 percent, it was set at 10 percent, before acceptable results occurred. Of course it could be something else, but this was the reason I found for most of it. I would have thought that as nvda is hogging one core and hence stopping the machine using it, Windows ought to sense it and up the speed of the cores. It seems that this only happens sometimes when more than one core is maxed out. I guess this might be because nvda is a 32 bit app, not a 64 bit one with the ability to push threads though different processor cores. I'd welcome some more knowledgeable people to comment. Brian

Re: Free, accessible TV software
This will definitely give Next PVR accessibility a boost; and glad I thought of it, since I use Firefox. After launching Next PVR player in Firefox, Alt-V, Y to bring up Page Styles. Set to None. Now, NVDA will speak the buttons.

Its been a few days since i tried a google search from the address bar, but
now it comes up with a search choices with no apparent indication it has any
function, but it does and it then seems to get very confusing. Unfortunately
if you ignore it and use the search results list it seems very restricted compared to how it was. It seems to be prioritising videos and pictures, when what I really want are articles and web sites.
Is there any way to get the traditional system back or does one have to figure out the new choices system after a log in to actually make it act in
a sensible way? Brian

Re: some questions about NVDA
Hi Quentin. Thanks for the reply. I’ll send the log. If that happened again. And yes. Creating that kind of algorithms is dangerous too. If you create an addon or something. The bots can use that. But in the newer version of Firefox. Which service should I use. As you know. The webvisum is gone. And it can no longer useable with latest Firefox. And about the flexible web. You can read about on this page Thanks Abdul Muhamin Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I'm not sure. It's not even something that's easy to replicate 5) There are several performance issues with Office we are slowly working on. If you have a particular one in mind, search for it on our Issue tracker and you will hopefully find a relevant conversation to follow: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues 6) Unlikely. The problem is that CAPTCHAs are designed to make you do something that proves you are a human, so bots and computer generated algorithms can't get past them. Ergo, WE can't write an algorithm to defeat them (and if we do, they will change the test, because if we can, the spammers can too). The best approach is to advocate for change in addressing the problem that CAPTCHA seeks to solve. 7) Not sure off the top of my head. After it happens, if you could send me a copy of your NVDA log, ideally at debug level (to info@... ) I can have a look and try for you.

What about the screen curtain addon for NVDA? 3. As you all know, Narrator has an image description feature, why we doesn’t have this important feature in NVDA? 4. In the early updates of win10. When the win10 OCR implemented on NVDA. It recognize almost everything, for example, the photos in photos app, even I used it for reading video games menu. But now, its very laggy. And doesn’t recognize as it was before. Why is that? 5. In Microsoft office 2013 or 2016, the NVDA has so many delays, while reading, writing, and while reading the ribbon menus, why? 6. In the modern browsers like the Firefox quantum, solving captcha images is the main issue for many vi people. Can we expect a feature in NVDA for it 7. Last question, I’m using Microsoft mail app. And I’ve created a sepret profile for it. Sometimes after reading or replying to a mail. When I press windows plus m to move to the desktop. The NVDA stops reading anything. And it force me to restart the NVDA, why? I hope all of the above mentioned problems will be fixed in the Future! Keep the NVDA alive! Thanks.

Re: Free, accessible TV software
Thats weird, every time I've installed it on my machine I've always been able to start it from the desktop. unless they've changed things around on newer versions of course.

First, no desktop shortcuts are installed so for me the quickest way of launching it is searching from the start menu for Next PVR which brings up the player as a Firefox document. However, when opening it, I find some slider controls along with several unlabeled buttons.

Hi, If I may ask, have you been able to watch live TV with Next PVR? I found this very difficult but it's always possible I was missing something. Further, have you managed to access closed captioning with Next or any other application? Thanks, Aman

Well if next pvr works with everything maybe thats fine.
Ofcause with all the tvs being digital it may be easier to set an apple tv for tv viewing its a bit of a cost.
Or get used to your tv you have, not all channels can have audio descriptions and while some tvs do have accessibility in them including samsung ones, my 24 inch soni is not.
I got a sightling to set the tv and it works, ofcause you need to memorise the channels you need and then go for it.

I think this is a big problem generally. The first thing is to define what tv system its to work with. National differences are quite radical, and of course the adaptor which is feeding the computer could be any from built in cards to usb dongles and online tv, Sat tv or terrestrial with all the different systems for AD and program guides in different parts of the world. I do not think anyone has cracked it globally. there is still this tendency by the makers of this software that as its a visual thing, no point in making it work for blind people is there, kind of mindset.  However if anyone does find such universal software then bring it on.

Anyone know of Win10 software for watching TV which works with NVDA?
If needed, I could revert back to Windows7 on my other system but if possible, want this as a last resort.
