Hm, I wonder...

Maybe it's because there's a problem.

Tell us what versions of Windows, NVDA and NVDA Remote you're using, how
you're trying to do things, and what happens when to try to connect (error
message, nothing, what?), and maybe we can help.

Otherwise we can only guess, and that's probably not helpful.

Hello Joseph:



I will look into this as I try to replicate the problem using a TV monitor
instead of a projector and see if the sound actually gets rerouted.
However,
this only happens on the Power Point Slide Show window. All other windows
continue speaking out the default speaker. I would think that all speech
would be rerouted and not just the slide show. Additionally, once I restart
NVDA, I can open and close Power Point and the speech continues to come out
the default speaker when starting a slide show.



Also, Narrator does not exhibit this problem.



Rick

Hi,

This may have to do with audio output redirection: when an HDMI cable is
connected, sound is sent through the cable, so NVDA may not recognize that
you've still got your internal sound card active. You can ask NVDA to speak
through a chosen sound card via Synthesizer/output device combo box
(Control+NVDA+S).

Cheers,

Joseph

Subject: [nvda] No voice, Power Point Slide Show view on Laptop with HDMI
connected, NVDA restart fixes problem



I have 2 high-end Lenovo laptops with nVidia graphics cards. Both are
running Windows 10 Professional and Office 365 desktop apps. One computer
is
brand new while the other is 3 years old. These are work computers, so
Windows and Office are updated within the last few months and not
necessarily running the absolute latest updates. I am running the latest
released version of NVDA and have no addin present. I have Microsoft Speech
API Version 5 as my voice.



If connected to projectors using the HDMI port, putting a Power Point
presentation into slide show mode (by pressing the F5 key) I lose all
speech
output on that particular window. It doesn't matter if I am using the
internal speakers or am connected to a wired or wireless headset. Alt
tabbing to other windows and NVDA speaks just fine, but not on the slide
show window. Moving from slide to slide produces no speech. If the HDMI
connection is not present, NVDA speaks just fine in slide show mode.



If I now restart NVDA with Power Point still displaying the slide show and
the HDMI connection still present, everything works as expected. NVDA reads
the slides as I navigate from slide to slide, using the internal speakers
or
connected headset.



I tried restarting NVDA after booting the computer to see if it was a
problem with the autostart of NVDA completing prior to other parts of the
system completing initialization, but it still failed to speak in slide
show
window until restarting NVDA after launching Power Point.

Hey, Joe, you're more than welcome, believe me! If all the problems I
had to solve were that simple, I'd be walkin' in clover lol.

There was just a lot of discussion on this list awhile back that the
old NVDA Remote was incompatible w/the latest version of NVDA, & that
the authors had just recently updated it to make it so. I was blessed
to have remembered all that, I guess, & it didn't hurt either that it
affected me as well.

Have a great weekend.

However, does using this add--on discourage learning how to use screen-review commands in NVDA?  and does this lack of learning mean that, when it is advisable to use the activate command available on the numpad or to use the route and click virtual mouse commands NVDA provides, the user won't know how to do these things?  This may be an add-on that duplicates functions already available in NVDA where the user would be much better off learning the NVDA way to do things if the user if at all demanding and who wishshes to go beyond rather elementary learning.  Also, some NVDA review commands are essential for working with Windows 10 apps. It sounds like a bad idea to have such an add-on that discourages learning of the screen-reader itself.

Download and install the Virtual review addon then you can use
NVDA+Control+w to virtualise a window then browse it using arrow keys.

Hi all, This is Michael. i have a question about a feature in NVDA.
How can one virtualize a window using NVDA? I'm asking that because
yesterday I was doing something with NVDa and some error message pop up and
I couldn't read it because I don't know how to virtualize the message.
I would be able to read it if I use Jaws. I'm not saying bad thing about the
nvda Screen reader.
Please help if you all can.

Good evening,

In the latest batch of NVDA releases, the option to connect to remote
devices, has gone. It used to be under tools, remote, now there is
nothing.
Has this function been removed? or, where is it now? the plug in is
installed, and active.
Many thanks.

I've used the Kindle for PC app, and the latest version has the
accessibility function built directly in. You used to have to install
a separate plugin for it to work; now it's just there. The app is free
too. I think you do need to have NVDA on at the same time, in order to
navigate the menu that is accessed by pressing the alt key. Regarding
books that don't have this enabled, I'm pretty sure you can find out,
when you go to the book's page on Amazon. It will say whether speech
is enabled or not on the Kindle version of the book. hth

Why not just download the Kendal for PC program?

I've been using it for about a year, and have bought close to 15 Books
so far and counting.

Almost all Books will let you read their Text with JAWS or NVDA. But I
have purchased Two Books that do not allow the use of a Screen Reader,
but the Kendal program attempts to speak the text. It isn't a good
clear voice, and so far I've not figured a way to re-read a line, or go
back a line or two.

Not sure how to know if a Book will read with the Screen Reader or not.

but, having the Kendal program on your Computer works for me.

Hey Rosemarie!

When you hear system, keep right arrowing until you hear the ease of access category and press enter!

I just tried that and it didn't work. Where's the ease of access setting? The first thing I found was system instead of ease of access.

Hi all!

To speed up the One Core voices:

Press Windows+I to open the settings app.

Tab once, and go to the Ease of access category!

Then, go to speech and press enter.

Then, tab to more speech settings and press enter.

Then, tab to a slider, and use page up to increase it to its maximum.

Then, just get out of settings with Alt+F4!

Hi all. Where do you go to adjust the speed of one-core voices? Not in

NVDA, you go somewhere else to increase the speed in Windows. I can't

for the life of me remember it, so of course I need to do it. I thought

it was in control panel but I guess not. Thanks in advance, I'm sure

bunches of you know.
