Re: winamp interesting news
Ron Canazzi
Hi Group,

I am wondering if this is a hack site. I visit the page and I keep clicking on the Winamp 5.8 beta and another window opens up and demands that I download a tool of some sort to update all my Windows ten drivers. I never see the actual download start or the download link that actually leads to the beginning of a download.

Re: version of an application with nvda
Gene
You can usually do so by typing alt to open the
menus, then typing h to open help, then a to open the about dialog. So the
sequence is alt h then a. The number will be read. If it isn't, use
NVDA key b to have the dialog read.
You are doing this by using program commands.
JAWS uses proprietary commands to do something for which there is no
reason. It keeps people from learning the Windows ways of doing the things
and makes them more dependent on JAWS.

Re: speech rate control
Gene
Someone else presented the short way. If you
didn’t see the message, hold control NVDA key and, while doing so, up or down
arrow. . I never use it but I tried it after sending my
message.
You'll have to see if you like it. Instead of
skipping by one increment, the fast method skips by five increments. this
may or may not give you the control over speed you want.
If you change something else, such as the voice
pitch, use the left and right arrows to move around the options until you get to
speed. Then use up and down arrow to change the speed. I think it
remembers what you set last so if you move to speed, you won't have to keep
moving to speed.

Re: Review Cursor
Quentin Christensen
Hi Andy, NVDA works slightly differently to Jaws in this regard, however the overall aim is the same: to get to controls on screen that you can't access with the regular keyboard. NVDA uses "object navigation" to move between "objects" on screen. An object might be the ribbon in Word, the toolbars, the edit area and the status bar. You can go "into" an object and see the objects it contains. The ribbon in word for instance, contains the home ribbon, the insert ribbon, the view ribbon and so on, and inside each of those ribbons are the individual options like making text bold, or underlined, or change the style. You can access the ribbon with the keyboard anyway, but it is still a good example of objects (hopefully). The review cursor lets you read the text within the current object. In the Basic Training for NVDA module, I use the example of the "winver" dialog which displays information about the version of Windows you are using (press the WINDOWS key, type WINVER and press ENTER to open it). You can move up and down through the lines or word by word or character by character - like you can with normal text, but since it isn't accessible with the normal keyboard commands, it uses different commands. I thought it best to give you the overview of those two features there rather than the keystrokes, since there are quite a few, and they vary between desktop keyboard layout and laptop keyboard layout. I would strongly recommend the Basic Training for NVDA to give you a more complete idea of the review cursor and object navigation. You can find the book for purchase in electronic format, audio or hardcopy Braille from our shop: http://www.nvaccess.org/shop/ You can also read a sample chapter, which happens to be the one on the review cursor from the link on: https://www.nvaccess.org/product/basic-training-for-nvda-ebook/ Chapter 5 in the User Guide does give all the relevant keystrokes, although without the in-depth explanation and step-by-step activities that you get in the training material: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html#NavigatingWithNVDA Kind regards Quentin.

Re: speech rate control
Quentin Christensen
Hi Marisane, Gene's method involves opening NVDA's Speech settings. As he noted, it's not the quickest way you were after, but offers slightly finer grained control over adjustment. There is a shortcut key directly which is NVDA+control+up arrow to increase speech rate and NVDA+control+down arrow to decrease speech rate. Press NVDA+control+left arrow or NVDA+control+right arrow to change which speech setting is adjusted (speech rate, pitch, volume, voice) with NVDA+control+up or down arrow, but rate is the default. Regards Quentin.

Does NVDA have a mode similar to the JAWS cursor?
if so, how does one invoke it?

Re: speech rate control
Gene
I saw a method described by another member.
As I recall, the method I will describe, though it requires more commands, gives
better control over the increments of change. Use whichever you
prefer.
Control NVDA key v. Then tab once.
Right arrow to increase speed, left arrow to decrease speed. Page up and
down changes the speed by larger increments.

Re: speech rate control
I believe it is shift nvda control left right to circle to speech then nvda shift control up and down arrow to go up and down through choices.

Hi,

AFAIK older versions are completely unusable and inaccessible, but newer versions are not longer using flash but html5, which is working better. We are still using 6.5 and I am also not able to access our VMcenter, but an update to 6.7 is planed and I hope things will get better. Many things regarding managing VMs do not have be done via the webinterface. If ssh is enabled on your VMcenter host and you can log in you can use the command line. Also on nodes of an VMware cluster this is possible. Also there is an apliance from VMware which can be used to manage virtual machines via perl script or power shell, but I have to find out more if you are interested. So in conclusion the command line will help you much more then the webinterface. The gui might get more accessible in future, but I am sure that not all things might be done with a screenreader.

Re: Security in NVDA
Quentin Christensen
Hi René, In a secure environment, you can run NVDA with the --secure command line argument which does disable the python console (as well as disabling the add-on manager). Kind regards Quentin.
