I know I asked a similar question before, but looking at the email list of different snap releases I see alpha and beta, yet on the snapshot web site it seems only alpha have updated, the beta is showing rc versions of the last stable release. Am I missing something here, or are betas not actually on the site?

You install a program like Xampp on your local box to get a server in
place, then WordPress on top of that. Or, if you already have a
server, then just create a database & install Wordpress & CONNECT IT
TO THE DATABASE YOU CREATED.

Re: Recuva

Brian Vogel
 

I have used and like Recuva.  That being said, depending on exactly what sort of recovery is being done, it may not be the best tool for the task.  I have been wondering since the topic started exactly what it is that the recovery attempt is being made for and on what medium.

For partition recoveries or even mass file recoveries TestDisk may be the better tool, though I cannot speak to its accessibility.

Also, if the file one wishes to recover is on a HDD or SSD that's still being actively used, time is of the essence since the blocks now marked as free are up for grabs for reuse at any moment.  When using any recovery tool it is essential that the disc being recovered from be offline and that what's being recovered be recovered to a different disk, at least if we're talking about trying to get something more than a single file or a couple of files.  If the latter, you still have "the clock is ticking" factor if the disc is in use.

But in the old days, Windows didn't get a full upgrade every six months.  Service packs were infrequent--perhaps two or three or four years apart.  Windows 7 only had one.  Perhaps Microsoft should look through its records of who had problems with Windows 10 upgrades through Windows 10's history.  Perhaps they can identify certain combinations of hardware and software that are prone to problems.  They then can actively attempt to recruit members of the Insider program who run such combinations.  It appears the Insider program is not working as expected.

What is wrong with the insider program that this problem wasn't known before the rollout?  Are there too few people in the program?  Should there be more attention to trying to get more users who use Windows in different ways and on more varied equipment?  Microsoft is developing a reputation for bad rollouts, hardly helpful for the company achieving its goals of having people accept "Windows as a service." 

 

In an article I read yesterday from a reliable source, it was stated that both this major upgrade and the one before it had serious problems.  I don't recall the details now, but I recall reading about how the previous upgrade put some users machines into infinite bootup loops.  I don't recall what other problems may have been in that upgrade.  Again, what is wrong with the insider program that this wasn't caught?

Hi Jo,

According to our translation page at https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/Translating

NVDA was last translated to Nepalese in 2016 and we are in need of a new translator.  That means that some of NVDA's user interface will still likely be correct in Nepalese, and anything added since 2016 won't have been translated.  That's the user interface itself.  In terms of reading out information from the computer, eSpeak NG (the more robotic voice which is the default on Windows 7) does work in Nepalese.  I don't have a list of Windows OneCore voices, so I am not 100% sure whether it is available in Nepalese in Windows 10.

As for our user interface, if you are, or you know someone who might be interested in helping translate to Nepalese again, the details are available on that page I liked to.  The first step would be to join the translation mailing list and say hi - that way if anyone else has expressed an interest in it (but not yet updated the translation) you can discuss between you how best to proceed.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Re: Can NVDA be used in the Nepali language

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Jo,

According to our translation page at https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/Translating

NVDA was last translated to Nepalese in 2016 and we are in need of a new translator.  That means that some of NVDA's user interface will still likely be correct in Nepalese, and anything added since 2016 won't have been translated.  That's the user interface itself.  In terms of reading out information from the computer, eSpeak NG (the more robotic voice which is the default on Windows 7) does work in Nepalese.  I don't have a list of Windows OneCore voices, so I am not 100% sure whether it is available in Nepalese in Windows 10.

As for our user interface, if you are, or you know someone who might be interested in helping translate to Nepalese again, the details are available on that page I liked to.  The first step would be to join the translation mailing list and say hi - that way if anyone else has expressed an interest in it (but not yet updated the translation) you can discuss between you how best to proceed.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Hi quentin

According to what I was told that it was refusing my visa card.

I have used it to buy things on the internet, and I had no problems.

To tell you the truth, I always ask a sighted person to do it for me.

I don’t trust such a serious thing like this.

Not for the most part, in fact I would argue to an extent they have crippled Office's useability by refusing to abandon some really old keystrokes - for instance just on the ribbons, half the reason they are so hard to remember is that they aren't logical.  The Insert ribbon isn't alt+i, because they kept that for people wanting to use old Office 2003 shortcuts, so it's alt+n.  Similarly the View ribbon can't be alt+v in case an Office 2003 user only knows the old way of doing things, so the View ribbon is alt+w..  The Help ribbon is relegated to Alt+Y1.  Nothing is alt+d, yet the developer ribbon is alt+L, meaning the layout ribbon gets alt+p. 

 

To be honest, the whole thing is a nightmare.  So in short, I expect the reason control+shift+page+down doesn't work is not that they've just changed it, just that they've broken it and haven't fixed it...

Hi Logo,

I was about to say that CONTROL+PAGE UP and CONTROL+PAGE DOWN move to the
start of the previous or next page in Word, therefore to select a whole
page, move to the top of a page and press CONTROL+SHIFT+PAGE DOWN.  Then I
tried it and realised that (on Office 365 at least) moving between pages
works, but not selecting them.

So, I have a quick way for you which does use NVDA commands:

1) Move to the start of the page to be deleted.
2) Press NVDA+F9.  This is the review cursor command to "start marking"
text.
3) Press CONTROL+PAGE DOWN to move to the start of the next page.
4) Press the LEFT ARROW to go back one character.
5) Press NVDA+F10 once.  This selects the whole page.
6) Press DELETE.

The reason you have to use the left arrow to go back one character is that
the review cursor copy function takes the character to the right of the
cursor as well, so without that step you would delete the whole page and
the first character from the next page.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go see why CONTROL+SHIFT+PAGE DOWN doesn't work.

Regards

Quentin.

Yes I downloaded the portable version to help me get some files back about a month ago. Its OK, and gives you a feedback as to whether you can or cannot do it.
Obviously once deleted any writing to the disc stands a good chance of overwriting the data. I downloaded it on an old xp machine and put it on a ram stick to run it from there to cut down on the writing on the machine with the lost files.

nope, presing NVDA and s to togle doesn't make any difference and, if I try to swipe on the touchscreen or tap the screen, NVDA does say, "Desktop"

so clearly it is set to speek but for some reason it is not accepting any keyboard input.

I'm baffled!

Try narrator and that way you can see what is going on, well hear it. However do not change things, only try one thing at once.
To me the lack of log on speech means that the user profile is not copied to that section. I guess you can at least look at nvda settings using narrator though to see what has changed if anything.
It would be handy to know what voice is default as well.

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 :)

Re: Accessible SDR software

Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
 

Software defined Radio
These are in effect not true radios, but how an aerial signal is handled is controlled by software. many TV and radio tuners in domestic kit are now modules like this, and they are increasingly being offered to the public to play around with. Indeed some also have transmit capability built in at of course a very low level which needs amplifying. Also of course it means almost any mode is possible merely using software.

However, People tell me most of the software runs under things like modified Android or Unix like kernels, not Windows, though I'm sure if somebody had the knowledge it could be done, but accessibly is hard to say. Most of the ones described to me try to make the screen graphical like the front of a radio which is seldom very friendly to a screenreader.
Interestingly, Pro systems like the Icom range do have a box made for them for blind use which allows button control rather than the inbuilt touch screen. I have no idea if this is based on any of the commonly available dongles though as I've not dipped my toe in that pond as yet.
However there are SDR web sites around.
I've not tested them, but some seem to be javascript intensive.

Yes indeed, on the one |I mentioned it was seemingly seamless so no clues at all.
I'll watch for it but I suspect Windows itself was my problem, and on assumes if all processing is suspended you just see the time clock seemingly jump.
on the various items. The other thing that I have seen is that it has in fact said it said things it never actually played through the speakers.

I'm using 7 though, so a 10 issue is probably totally different again.

Yep a log file would be very helpful to try to diagnose what is happening
here.

It could simply be that Windows just doesn't seem to be resource managing
so well and if it is trying to do something (like download updates), it
struggles with anything else at the same time.

The log is in your %temp% directory. If you open File Explorer with
WINDOWS+E, then press ALT+D to get to the address bar and type or paste
%temp% in, it should take you to the directory. nvda.log is the current or
most recent log, and nvda-old.log is the one before that (useful if NVDA
crashes).

Quentin.

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
