Yes it could be Portuguese but since the voice I'm using is a bit of a mess outside of English it could be Klingon.

Hi Group,

The page displays just fine, but I don't understand the language, so anything more than the fact that it seems OK superficially would be difficult for me to analyze.

Re: Microsoft word question
Gene
Often, just because a resource is for JAWS doesn't
mean it can't be used by other screen-reader users. If this material
contains JAWS specific commands, then you may not be able to use those
commands. But if there are equivalent commands in NVDA and you know them
or learn them, then you may be able to use the information. Or the
information may not be JAWS specific or some or much of it may not. Just
because a JAWS source is given doesn't mean it can't be used. And if JAWS
commands are given, you can ask if there are equivalents on the list.
In this case, I didn't look at the material and I
don't know what information is given so I can't comment on the usefulness of the
material. But it shouldn't be assumed to be useless. I would suggest
reading it to find out.

Re: NVDA Snapshot types
Quentin Christensen
Yes, you can download the latest alpha snapshot from: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapshots/ If you install the alpha build, then yes, when it checks for updates each day, it will report when a new alpha build is available. Note that left to its own devices, NVDA checks once a day / when started 24 hours after it last checked, so it may not see an update immediately - particularly with alpha updates where there sometimes might be several in a day. That's usually not a problem, but worth bearing in mind. Regards Quentin.

Re: Some time nvda seems quite laggy in my laptop. I am using asus laptop with windows 10 1803, latest version of nvda and I have 8 gb ram along with ssd as well Most of the time nvda is unable to respond specially on file explorer, eg When I open this-pc nvda stop reading all those list as local disk c, d and other shortcut icon. This is mainly happening when I am using some other program in the background, if I am downloading some thing then I open file explorer then nvda keeps quite. In another case if I had close other running program and open file explorer then also nvda’s feedback is very slow and laggy. I do have another disappointing experience with nvda, mainly I have to work in a Microsoft office’s program like word, excel etc in their also nvda gives very let respond while typing and reading. Please fixed this issue if possible, thankyou Madhusudan ghimire from Nepal.
Quentin Christensen
Hi, I responded over the weekend on Facebook and to your direct message about this, so I won't repeat the conversation here (for anyone else, try restarting NVDA with addons disabled, ensure you are using the latest version of NVDA, and consider trying the latest alpha snapshot. Also consider what else is happening on the PC, and also consider using a less frugal power setting in Windows. Some people find they need to use "Always On", others can use a more power saving setting). What I did want to add here though, was that you've written your entire message in the subject. In email, it is best to write only a few words in the subject "NVDA lagging in File Explorer", for instance, and write the main text and further description in the body of the message itself. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: No voice, Power Point Slide Show view on Laptop with HDMI connected, NVDA restart fixes problem
Hi Rick,
I am unable to duplicate your problem probably because I do not have HDMI on my desktop. I have however used NVDA on laptops and connected them to HDMI projectors without problems. My suggestion came from my experiences with USB sound cards. Setting a specific sound card helped mitigate the problem that NVDA would switch to a USB sound card when that card was inserted. HDMI was doing something similar hence I thought the same solution would work. It appears the solution failed, sorry about that. I did try running a presentation in slide show mode and NVDA began to speak without any effort. Pranav

Re: No voice, Power Point Slide Show view on Laptop with HDMI connected, NVDA restart fixes problem
Rick
Hello Pranav:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Before making this suggestion, were you able to replicate my exact problem and determine that this fixed it. I changed the NVDA setting to use the internal speaker and added slide transition sounds to my Power Point slide show. NVDA now spoke on internal speakers while window sounds played on HDMI. NVDA does the same exact thing when the slide show is started (no voice on the slide show window, but speaks everywhere else when alt tabbing away from the slide show window. Power point slide transition sounds were played on the HDMI device (i.e. TV). Sadly, restarting NVDA no longer fixed the problem and NVDA simply did not speak on the slide show window. Changing NVDA back to sound mapper and now restart of NVDA no longer corrects when restarted. Now I have a computer that simply won't speak the slide content when connected to HDMI, even after restarting NVDA. I think this is a bug in NVDA. Don't ya just love computers?!? Rick

That way, when your computer begins sending audio over HDMI, NVDA will continue speaking through the internal sound card. Pranav
