What you read online applies to and is written by sighted users in most cases.  In terms of such information, don't assume the sighted writer is aware of other aspects of use.  It isn't the mouse.  It is whether something is selected and there are many ways of selecting and most sighted users are unaware of them.  and those who are aware, usually write for a sighted audience and don't go into other ways such as selecting from the keyboard.

Re: Hi

Gene
 

Virtualizing a Window in JAWS doesn't allow you to click something.  It does allow you to copy material from the virtualized window so you can paste it somewhere.  This is useful when you want to paste content from an error message into an e-mail describing the error to someone, as an example of one use.
 
Does the add-on allow copying to the clipboard of selected material?  Whether it does or not, NVDA has its own way of doing this.

Re: Tooltips

Gene
 

There are times in Windows where, if you select something, a tool tip will be shown and as I recall, NVDA is set to read tooltips by default.  Try moving through the items on the desktop and see if tool tips are read.  It is highlighting or selecting the item that causes the tooltip to be shown.  When you move to an item in a list using the arrow keys, it is selected.  If it wasn't, nothing would happen when you pressed enter.  In general, though not absolutely always, you can't take an action on anything unless it is selected. 
 
If you move a mouse to an item, that may cause a tooltip to be shown as well.

This is strange.

I have just gone back  and run FS Reader without any issue using the latest NVDA release.

I have Jaws 18 and 19 Beta installed on this system though.

It may be that the software now checks  for a Jaws licence even if it is not running.

If this is so I am sorry for misleading the list as I was unaware of this change.

Re: No voice, Power Point Slide Show view on Laptop with HDMI connected, NVDA restart fixes problem

Do you by any chance have a special profile set up for powerpoint that was in some way being used to set sound parameters, like a particular voice. I do not see how though, it would take the form you mention. This sounds almost like a sound driver quirk but only affecting one piece of software. Do any other bits of office do this?
I've not used recent versions of Powerpoint but I do know that a virtual window from another machine won't speak but that has little to do with your action.

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.

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,

I have 2 high-end Lenovo laptops with nVidia graphics cards. Both are

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

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.

Re: Hi

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

I have noticed that some alerts in windows and other software are using some odd way of displaying a message. Even if it opens in the background, alt tabbing to it will not actually read it. sometimes, but not always, you can switch to screen virtual nav and read it a bit at a time, but not always.
I noticed in Jaws this happens far less and it seems able to read these. Obviously the text can be seen by nvda, its just the automatic reading when appropriate which is missing. Its quite hard to do an nvda/F1 on some of these without losing the focus and getting meaningless log entries though.
I'm just guessing this is what is being discussed.
Nodal windows or some such or errors say in a C program or an exception somewhere in a program are the main ones. The other problem I often see is that nvda cannot reboot while an error that crashed its error is on screen. sometimes Narrator will read those but not always.

https://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/search/cto?auto_make_model=convertible

If I use a straight browser search it finds the word, "cars," in the navigation frame on the left in the "cars & trucks - by owner" link, and it is a link, as well as in the "background text" in the edit box that shows the same phrase in light gray until you start typing in a search term.

Sometimes when I use the NVDA find it finds it, other times, it doesn't. It seems to depend on my having interacted with the page, but that content does not appear/disappear whether I've interacted with the page or not.

I seem to have this happening more frequently lately with both NVDA and JAWS (yes, I know that this isn't the JAWS group, but wanted to note it). I have always encouraged my clients to favor the screen reader search function over the straight browser search as it takes into account controls that a straight search does not. But lately it also seems to be not finding things I can clearly see are present on the screen. It's a mystery to me why this is.

1. How can we know if, and where these tooltips are present? Does NVDA anounces them? If so, what does it say?I don't remember hearing such information so far, and I've been using it for quite a while.
2. How can we read those tooltips, given that we rarely use the mouse? At least I never do that, even though I know about mouse simulation; I never have the reflex to actually use that function. I am getting old I suppose.

I thank in advance all those who will enlighten me on this topic.

Warm regards from France,

Vlad.

I believe you can also download a Kindle App for Windows. However, I found
the process of downloading books through Kindle in a browser on my PC and
accessing those books with NVDA or other screen readers difficult and never
successfully read Kindle books on my PC. I have ben using my Iphone and
Ibooks as my portable ebook reader.

Hello guys!
Since, ebook readers especially customized for blind people, like Victor
ebook reader, are very expensive, I'm thinking of buying a Kindle. I have
heard that it has a screen reader called voiceview. How good is it? And how
long does the battery last while using screen readers for reading books?
Also, the latest version of Kindle Paper White doesn't come with an audio
jack, so I'm also open to purchasing an older model.
All suggestions are welcome.

Regards
Sociohack

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.
