Hi all,

I have another curious sound problem with NVDA. Wehn I go into Win10 settings I often get a lot of garbled beeping whilst NVDA is speaking. It does this on my current laptop and it was doing it on my old laptop too.

I've made a short recording as an example becuase it's hard to describe without the audio. It was doing this in the bluetooth settings and the sound settings today.

http://gilesturnbullpoet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Win10-settings-noise_REC007.mp3

and, in case the post truncates the link, here's a shorter version which you just need to copy and paste into the address bar and delete the spaces: https:// bit.ly/ 2OaTHqv

Is there a reason NVDA does this and is there any way of working around it?

Thanks,

Giles

I would suggest HP.

Hi,

Thanks. At least we’re getting somewhere, and that’s the first thing I thought that could cause problems. I’ll wait for more reports to come in before releasing a follow-up try build.

Cheers,

Joseph

Build 5 (shortly before release of Windows 10 App Essentials 18.11): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.5.nvda-addon

For these try builds:

 

1. Install each of them in order. Ignore NVDA when it prompts you to update add-ons.
2. After installing each build, use Chrome’s address bar to search for something and try navigating to search results.
3. Be sure to let me know immediately when you encounter the problem where you have to use Alt+Tab to switch focus back to Chrome. When this happens, be sure to note down the build number you’ve just installed so I can track it down.

 

Once we find out which build is responsible for introducing this regression, I’ll send out one or two follow-up try builds to test changes. After that, the fix will be deployed to other systems – first to development snapshot users, followed by the general public in the form of version 18.11.1.

 

Thank you.

Hello,
How can I turn on phonetic spelling in NVDA? I’m learning Spanish and need
to see the spelling of the words. It’s sometimes difficult to determine the
right vowel as the sounds can be very similar.
Thanks,
Jan

Javascript will very likely be around for a long time. Most webpages
depend on it to varying degrees these days. If you want to pay bills
online, order stuff, etc, then you'll need a javascript-enabled
browser. Indeed, though it used to be that there was an option to
disable it, I haven't seen that in a very long time. It's just a tool.
&, as w/any tool, it can be put to good & bad uses.

Well, I actually responded to the email that was provided for a
response in the request. I indicated that for me, there have been
countless times when an object was clickable, but because the web
developer in question didn't make it a link or a button, it would be
impossible to know that unless NVDA said "clickable". I did also
indicate that saying it multiple times was beyond annoying.
Additionally, I also suggested that there be a way to toggle the
feature on or off, per user preference. It's incorrect to assume that
because folks didn't respond positively on list that no one likes the
feature. I rather suspect instead that many of us simply used the
private email w/which we were provided.

If web authors would develop according to WCAG, there would be no need
for the feature. They don't; thus, there is. If you're fortunate
enough to visit only those websites that adhere to those standards,
then great. If on the other hand, you find yourself visiting a
multiplicity of sites, many of which do not conform to accessibility
guidelines, then it helps to know that an element can be interacted
with, because all indications are that it cannot.

They were looking for positive responses because they simply wanted to
see if anyone found it useful, & perhaps get an estimate of how many
that might be. They didn't want to just axe a feature because some
folks commented negatively on it. Those who find things useful usually
don't comment, so all they're bound to hear is the negative ones.

Hi all,

 

Given reports of issues with Google Chrome when using Windows 10 App Essentials 18.11, I would like your help in tracking this down. Below is a series of links to try builds for you to try:

 

Build 1 (shortly after release of Windows 10 App Essentials 18.10.1, the last version known to not cause problems for Chrome users): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.1.nvda-addon

 

Build 2 (address auto-complete in Edge): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.2.nvda-addon

 

Build 3 (changes made for Action Center): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.3.nvda-addon

 

Build 4 (backporting UIA performance fix from 2018.4): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.4.nvda-addon

Build 5 (shortly before release of Windows 10 App Essentials 18.11): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.5.nvda-addon

For these try builds:

 

1. Install each of them in order. Ignore NVDA when it prompts you to update add-ons.
2. After installing each build, use Chrome’s address bar to search for something and try navigating to search results.
3. Be sure to let me know immediately when you encounter the problem where you have to use Alt+Tab to switch focus back to Chrome. When this happens, be sure to note down the build number you’ve just installed so I can track it down.

 

Once we find out which build is responsible for introducing this regression, I’ll send out one or two follow-up try builds to test changes. After that, the fix will be deployed to other systems – first to development snapshot users, followed by the general public in the form of version 18.11.1.

Build 3 (changes made for Action Center): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.3.nvda-addon

 

Build 4 (backporting UIA performance fix from 2018.4): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.4.nvda-addon

Build 5 (shortly before release of Windows 10 App Essentials 18.11): https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/wintenApps-try20181029.5.nvda-addon

For these try builds:

 

1. Install each of them in order. Ignore NVDA when it prompts you to update add-ons.
2. After installing each build, use Chrome’s address bar to search for something and try navigating to search results.
3. Be sure to let me know immediately when you encounter the problem where you have to use Alt+Tab to switch focus back to Chrome. When this happens, be sure to note down the build number you’ve just installed so I can track it down.

 

Once we find out which build is responsible for introducing this regression, I’ll send out one or two follow-up try builds to test changes. After that, the fix will be deployed to other systems – first to development snapshot users, followed by the general public in the form of version 18.11.1.

 

Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi,

I was asked to pass this info along. Now that mbrola is open source, maybe we will have even more tts engines for NVDA. Native Mbrola voices would give us much more higher quality multilingual tts voices than that which comes with espeak.

MBROLA now is open source software

Can somebody send this message to NVDA mailing list also?

Thanks!

Hello,

 

Suppose I am in Edit mode, and I want to switch to “Say All” mode, and
start reading from the beginning of the page, not where I left off. What
I currently do is press Insert + space. Then I press Insert + F5 to get
me to the beginning of the page, then I Press Insert + down arrow to
start reading from the beginning of the page.

 

Is there a more direct way to accomplish this?

Dear André

Thank you for your answer.

I wonder if anything has changed in the interim, as I have found a few programmes which are inaccessible with JAWS and which are workable with NVDA and vice versa.  Take MS Access for instance, JAWS reads very little, but NVDA reads more.

What would be the best way to test Pastel (the financial programme) to see if anything has changed?  I am asking, as I know people who use Pastel for accounting on a daily bases.

Kind regards

Hi Heaven

I doubt if it would.  Pastel in itself is not very accessible I handled queries like this before.  I Once tried Jaws on it and WE, no luck.  As I said the interface itself is not very user friendly for blind people.\\regards

Dear List

Does anyone know if Pastel works with NVDA, as it is a popular fincial accounting application in South African businesses?

Thank you.

Kind regards
