Does anyone know of any accessible SDR software? I have recently been given an SDR dongle but don’t know what the best piece of software is to work with it.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

Hi all,

I have a strange problem with NVDA. About a week ago it stopped speaking and just made a clicking sound ... I'm not even sure if it might be the same sound as when speech mode is set to beeps.

That time I took it into the university library and their technology team took a look at it and I don't know what they did but they sorted it out again. I can't remember if they uninstalled NVDA and re-installed it from a fresh copy, but I don't think they did because all my settings and addons were still installed.

When I say it isn't speaking, it is when using the touch screen but for some reason it has no login option on it. The first library person I spoke to tried to login that way but failed and sent it to some of the other tech specialists. Whatever they did they fixed it and I thought all was well and good.

But Windows has just updated itself again and I'm back to where I was before. When I swipe my finger across the touch screen it says "Desktop: but every key I try to press just does its clicking / beeping thing. If I try to press CTRL + s to cycle through the speech options nothing happens, ditto if I use the INS key as my NVDA key.

So I have two questions:

1) Does anybody have any idea what has happened and is there any way I can fix this by myself or do I need to return to the uni library?

2) How can I stop this happening every time Windows updates? DO I need to stop allowing Windows to update?

I realise some sort of log file would be helpful, but there is no way I can do anything with this tablet at the moment. I'm using a Microsoft Surface Pro 4, whatever version of Windows 10 it just updated itself to (it'll be the latest one) and NVDA 2018.3.2.

I am beginning to panic because I've got a poetry reading on 21st October and I use NVDA to read some of the poems to the audience.

Grateful for any suggestions at all :)

Yes, I did a re start.  It works fine when using narrator.

Ok, and I resume you have tried a restart?

Hi Chris,

That’s just what I do.

When you open settings nvda is focused in the search field, tab once should get you onto the cat list

Hi All,

I am using win10 1809 with the latest nvda.  When I go into window I and open system sounds nvda doesn’t read when I tab or arrow though the selections.  The other setting like display and the like work fine.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Thanks for any help.

Not really, but today I did notice that some windows updates were coming in
on my windows 7 machine, sometimes stopping the system for up to 30 seconds
or making it stutter which is not usual unless these updates are in some way
being installed as they come in which is not the way I've set them up. I got
fed up with that countdown window in the background opening up and not
noticing it till it shut the computer down and lost all my open data.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA randomly stops speaking

Hello all,

This morning I've had a few instances where NVDA would just stop
speaking. I had to press CTRL+ALT+n to get it working again. At one
time it stopped, I was playing an audio game with Pandora in the
background, and another time I had both Chrome and Spotify open. I've
also downloaded several files overnight. Is anyone else having this
problem while running multiple tasks on the computer?

Hmmm, well I was going to ramble on and just do one but maybe someone
that has experience with the thing can do it unless there is a way for
me to convert an audio tutorial to text without writing it that is.

I think you can use windows internet services iis for the wordpress
local setup.

Would you want this on 7 or 10, I can do both or either but I would only
do
1 system for obvious reasons.

Kerryn, you cannot just download WordPress to your computer & install
it as you can w/most standard programs. It has to run on a webserver,
& it has to be able to connect to a database in order to do so. Xampp
provides both the webserver, as well as the PHP & MySQL frameworks
WordPress uses. So you've got to install Xampp first, create a
database for WordPress to use, & then install WordPress using those
database credentials.

How are they asking you to set up a webserver in your class?

Kerryn, you should really inquire what your classmates are using to
do
this, but I recommend downloading Xampp. You should download the .zip
version, as the .exe instaler is not accessible. Here is a direct
link.

hi, below is what i have on word press

Hi.

Image for windows and clone zilla are also excellent tools and fully accessible.

Cheers,

Mo.

Subject: [nvda] Using Macrium Reflect Version 7 to Take A Full System Image Backup

There has been much discussion on several groups about an entirely accessible backup utility with regard to actually taking a full system image backup.  I have yet to find a backup and recovery utility that is 100% accessible in all respects, but Macrium Reflect, Version 7, is 100% accessible for creating a full system image backup for "the typical user" who keeps the typical disc arrangement under Windows where all OS files and user data files are on the C: drive.

Given what's been happening over the last several days with the Windows 10 Version 1809 feature update it is really critical to take a full system image backup before it is applied.

Here's the link to download the step-by-step instructions, along with notes about setting things up, in MS-Word format:

Using Macrium Reflect With a Screen Reader To Take a Full System Image Backup

You should be presented with a Save dialog shortly after activating the link. 

I went through this process from beginning to end using NVDA to control everything.  I cannot imagine that things should be different in JAWS and possibly even Narrator.  If there are any significant differences that you encounter please share them on this topic.
