Dear Joseph, the matter of fact is that the latest windows 10 app essential is 18.10 and I have 18.09.1 when I go to check for update, it is giving me your development update which is 20 million or so why not 18.10?

Hi all,

 

Shortly after release of SPL add-on 18.10, a broadcaster reported an issue where Studio won’t play the first track after an encoder was connected to a streaming server. After some investigation, the problem was traced to wxPython 4 (NVDA 2018.3.x) where text output would fail under some circumstances (specifically, wxPython 4 is more strict about where timers can be invoked from).

 

Because this affects everyone (except for people using really old builds) who are using NVDA 2018.3.x, I’m going to release version 18.10.1 and 18.09.3-LTS for those on stable and longterm channels, respectively. For those using development snapshots, revision A of September 21st build will also be released.

 

Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

Dave,

It is not necessary to donate. It is a request only. NVDA is free to all who need it. Donate when you can.  The bottom of the NVDA menu has a button titled Donate. Very convenient when there is cash to do it.

Re: Web Browsers

Gene
 

There is another aspect to the problem I hadn't considered in my first message.  More sites now are using embedded programs.  I'm not sure how that fits into the discussion.  The use of dialogs, while not an embedded program,  is an example of a new interface that has been added to some web pages over the last few years.  When you open a dialog in a site, my experience, others may wish to comment, is that at times, I need to turn browse mode off to work with it.  I haven't seen many but they seem inconsistent from my recollection about whether this is necessary and I have seen some where you can have the controls read  and not the explanatory text in the dialog and some as I recall, I can cause everything to be read.  Sometimes, I can close a dialog with escape, sometimes only with the close button.
 
As far as embedded programs are concerned, I don't know how JAWS compares with NVDA as to their accessibility.
 
Having said all that, what I said initially is important.  Proper Internet training would teach what I described in my first message.

Which is why, instead of expecting sighted site designers to change the layout of their sites, blind people should know what such "helpful" comments tell them.  The shape obviously doesn't matter.  But if something is on the left side of a site, such as the navigation links are, screen-readers place them at the top of the screen.  Then comes the main content, which is below the navigation links and which is in the center of the screen for sighted users, the center from left to right, it may be anywhere from top to bottom for a sighted user, then on the right, there is often a number of links which blind people see at the bottom of the screen.  So when a sighted person tells you that something is on the right middle of the screen, that means that, for a blind person, it will be near the bottom of the screen. 
 
A lot of blind people get poor instruction on how to use the Internet.

Re: FW: [nvda-addons] Project Pylennium: updates, proposing start of Python 3 pre-transition activities

Wouldn’t that mean that machines running a 32-bit version of Windows would no longer be able to run NVDA. That would not be good since some of the computers at the organization I work for are running 32-bit versions of Windows. Therefore, I would no longer be able to use those machines to demonstrate NVDA.

Hi everyone,

Although the below post is a bit technical, please keep an eye on it. You
won't feel the impact of what I outline regarding Python 3 transition for a
while, but when it does, please listen to notices from NV Access and add-on
authors regarding Python 3. And no, wxPython 4 is not the same thing as
Python 3.

Thanks.

Subject: [nvda-addons] Project Pylennium: updates, proposing start of Python
3 pre-transition activities



Dear NVDA development and add-ons communities:



This is Joseph Lee, a student at California State University, Los Angeles
and a long-time NVDA add-on author and code contributor. I'd like to
announce some important updates regarding Project Pylennium.



For a while, some NVDA developers (mostly third-party contributors) have
been working on how to bring Project Pylennium - Python 3 transition - to
life. After much discussion, NV Access and other developers agreed to wait
until a stable NVDA version powered by wxPython 4.0.3 (Phoenix) is released
before working on this project. Now that NVDA 2018.3.x (powered by wxPython
4) has been released, it is time to move forward with this project a bit,
starting with pre-transition activities.



To kick this off, I'm delighted to announce that a prototype archive of NVDA
source code and dependencies powered by Python 3 is now available. Apart
from removal of data generated by SCons, the archive is ready to run on
Python 3.7 with some preparations, and. are you ready for it: IT RUNS! Well,
I must add that there are some important features missing or not working as
intended, but I'm sure this will be rectified as the project moves forward.



Note that the archive is a prototype - please do not test this unless your
intention is to provide contributions to Python 3 transition workflow once
NV Access is ready to accept pull requests.



Archive link:

https://www.josephsl.net/files/pylennium/nvdapy37.zip



Things working:



* Windows OneCore synthesizer
* Python Console
* Sending log output to log file
* Object navigation commands
* Commands to configure options (NVDA+number row 2, for instance)
* Loading app modules



Things to be aware of:



* Requires Windows 10 until Espeak NG is ready.
* NVDA menu won't open due to division operator differences between
Python 2 nad 3
* Add-ons won't load
* Certain synth settings ring commands won't work
* Some braille displays won't work



The idea is to let seasoned developers (preferably third-party contributors
and/or a group of mainstream Python developers) test ideas and porting
issues and report their findings to NV Access. In turn, when it comes time
to actually transition NVDA source code and add-ons to Python 3, data can be
used to guide future work.



Second, a wiki page is being written to help you all move smoothly to Python
3 and to coordinate this workflow. The document is subject to change based
on progress of pre-transition activities. The page in its current form can
be found at:

https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/nvdapy3



As always, the umbrella issue on Python 3 transition can be found on GitHub
at:

https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7105



Along with other issues having "python 3" label added to them.



Lastly, I'd like to announce that I'm stepping back from Python 3 transition
workflow at this time (and, for that matter, NVDA code contributions for a
while). Besides automatic braille display detection (written by Babbage
B.V.) and various Windows 10 features support (mostly my work), the biggest
change (and the most controversial one) in NVDA 2018.3.x has been moving to
wxPython 4 (mostly my work with assistance from many). The results matched
my predictions from earlier this year: some notable add-ons not being
compatible with wxPython 4, hence notices throughout this summer (winter for
those living in southern hemisphere).



At the moment I have mixed feelings about how we (NvDA community) handled
this change. Yes, wxPython 4 is a necessary stepping stone for moving to
Python 3, and yes, I understand that I was rather forceful in handling
certain parts of this journey. There are good things we did, and lessons we
have learned so we can make Python 3 transition a smoother experience. Even
for me, it was an interesting ride for the last three years (wxPython
Phoenix research began in 2015), and I know that I could have done things
better.



Recently, I hinted to some that my time as an active contributor to NVDA
screen reader is slowly coming to a close. As a first step, I'd like to ask
that the community take an initiative to move forward with Python 3
transition (including other pre-transition activities); I feel that the best
thing I can do for this work now is to provide the prototype archive and a
vision for its conclusion, along with some pull requests (one of them is
pending review). There is a feature I'd like to present as a token of
appreciation to those who've helped me for the past six years: add-on update
checks, which will be impacted by Python 3 transition as well. But this does
not mean I'm leaving the community: I'll still be around to give advice
regarding Project Pylennium.



Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph

Re: Web Browsers

Dave <dlh007@...>
 

Hello Brian,

I would like to believe that more programmers today, at least know of the
need for writing Software with Screen Readers in mind, but I have my
doubts.

There is such a Flood of new Software, and then there are the countless
Updates for everything currently available.

With the urgent push to get new and updated software out the door,
giving the attention needed to add Screen Reader support just seems more
of a Dream, than something likely to be done.


Even though it seems like I have greater accessibility today, I can't
help but sense that we've actually less total access than in years past.

What good is a Web Site, when you can read 90 percent of it, but can't
read the Check Out function?

Or find the Button that lets the Shopper move to the next 25 listings
etc.


I know there is the ADA that is a set of laws that are to require many
things be done to ease the access to many things, from Buildings to
Software, but so many things slip through without any kind of
consideration for those in need of the alterations. Unless the laws are enforced, then what good is the law?

I was just mentioning to a friend the other day, that I am sure telling
a lie is against the law. And yet our Politicians and Media
personalities lie to us all the time.


So is the Set of Laws known as the ADA, doing us that much good?

StationPlaylist Studio add-on 18.10.1/18.09.3-LTS #addonrelease

Joseph Lee
 

Hi all,

 

Shortly after release of SPL add-on 18.10, a broadcaster reported an issue where Studio won’t play the first track after an encoder was connected to a streaming server. After some investigation, the problem was traced to wxPython 4 (NVDA 2018.3.x) where text output would fail under some circumstances (specifically, wxPython 4 is more strict about where timers can be invoked from).

 

Because this affects everyone (except for people using really old builds) who are using NVDA 2018.3.x, I’m going to release version 18.10.1 and 18.09.3-LTS for those on stable and longterm channels, respectively. For those using development snapshots, revision A of September 21st build will also be released.

 

Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

What version of widows are you running, and what kind of processor and how much ram do you have?

Toggling On and Off Format Documents #addonrelease

David Kingsbury
 

Hello,

I have just discovered the document formatting tool and think it is great for checking formatting in my documents. Is there a way to quickly and easily toggle it on and off. I understand you can go into input gestures and do it for individual things in the dialogue box, but can you toggle on and off the entire set of elements with a single shortcut key? I don't want to have to go into the dialogue box and check and uncheck a bunch of check boxes every time I want to proofread my formatting.

Thanks for any help on this,
David Kingsbury

Hi,
I think this has to do more with number processing by speech synthesizers.

Re: Pumbered Lists in Word

I figured out how to get NVDA to read me the numbers, at least. I'm still having issues getting the automatic numbers that I want when I have to edit things.

Are you using the programs auto-numbering to number your paragraphs? Also, which version of Word are you using. If you would like to send me a private copy of an example file, I would be glad to figure out the best option.

Take care,

For some reason when I create a list in Word by numbering each paragraph, NVDA will not read the numbers once I have completed the list. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
