I have windows 7, and find Jaws slower than Nvda on Quantum, but I tend t9o use waterfox most of the time still, as it seems less prone to show me adverts.

Each organization is heavy into accessibility interest. If I follow through with this recommend, Do I need mouse clicks to open GMail attachments if using Chrome as my primary browser? And, is Thunderbird compatible with Chrome? Of note, I found in a dated NVDA post from 2017 that Sophos was recommended as an Anti-virus program. In an attempt to download, it would not complete on my end and was said to be corrupt. Be careful with that one if considering Sophos. Thanks.

I can completely agree about web design, and its not just us. I often overhear conversations by sighted people who wonder why web sites that were easy to understand are changed like fashion items every few months making them have to figure out what to do all over again. Are we not or should we not be over the whizz bang fascination and well into the functionality part of using the web nowadays? It seems as if they shot the messenger.

If it does, I'd like to know. If the lack of access to these and other add-ons is as extremely poor, nonexistent, to call it what it is, that I experienced today, where does one report such matters or try to get something to be done? I did a Google searche for something like add-ons not accessible Quantum Chrome and a few other searches but I didn't find one relevant result. I didn't even find messages from user discussion pages I would have thought likely to show up in results. So I have two questions: Are things as bad as they seem, complete inaccessibility for add-ons, and is any of this improved when using newer versions of NVDA? I can't use recent versions because none of my machines support them. I could make my Windows 7 machine support them by installing Service Pack 1, but I'd lose access to a program that is dconvenient to have now and then. I also almost never use that machine online.

NVDA is slow with Outlook
Tony Malykh
Hello all,
I am trying to set up a new laptop for my work, and I encountered a few problems with Outlook. One of the problems is that NVDA reacts to keystrokes with a delay. For example, in the list of messages when I press up or down, I only hear NVDA speaks the next/previous message after a second. I am aware of preview pane and I have disabled it, so that's not an issue. I have also disabled preview of messages directly in the messages list. Another problem is that occasionally the entire Outlook app enters a weird state where I cannot read anything - standard navigations command don't work. Up/Down, Tab or F6 does nothing. However, if I restart NVDA, then it's working again. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix it? I tried narrator and it works much better - at least it responds to my keystrokes almost instantly. I'm running latest NVDA, latest Windows 10 and latest Outlook. I disabled all the add-ons. This is a brand new laptop. It's got plenty of CPU and memory, so this is not a hardware issue. Best Tony

Re: Firefox Quantum and add-ons
Well the difference is that quantom will eventually get better, the difference though is that waterfox will still be able to run classic code and the classic engine.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In fact while its based on mozilla firefox, eventually its going to be its own animal. The issue with quantom, is that to be more secure, registry access, and a lot of things that couled become security risks are gone. That means no linking to any os function at all, everything must be redone from scratch. In a way it makes sence, no os links means you are secure, but that basically makes it a custom program. Any custom program that doesn't use os spaciffic libraries is just that bit harder to access, you can't rely on the os, and the issue is that most readers are os dependant. Nvda is heavily os dependant. Every addon author has to reinvent the wheel. I spoke to the developer of nav sounds for example and because of mozilla securing the program, he would have to set sounds indevidually, its harder to do, and he just couldn't be bothered at that point. For noscript's authors, they like others would have to use the new web engine. Eventually in the long run its probably going to be faster especially with the newer faster cpus and memmory chips. Not much good for the lower grade cpus, but with most newer units being 6th gen and up, and now its like 7th gen and mainly amd and 8th gen in theory we shouldn't have issues at all. The spanner in the works is of course the intel spcter issue which cuts cpu processing in half till a new gen is out. From some reviews thats basically wrecked the new 8th generation processer group. Mozilla has also added extra security features which have slowed down things, so who knows. Eventually waterfox will be its own system, with its own addon store able to take advantage of the classic but also quantom engines side by side as I understand it. So technically we should all be fine. They aren't pushing for it right now but eventually that will happen.

Re: How to Skip Ahead to Text With NVDA
Gene
What program are you trying this with? I
can't get this to occur in Notepad but I can in Wordpad. I'm using the
simulated mouse available in NVDA but it shouldn't matter.
As far as what the best way is to do what you want,
it isn't clear to me why you are using this method. You can do this from
the keyboard, moving the actual cursor, assuming you are using a program like a
word processor that has a cursor. The command to move by paragraph in a
word processor document is control down arrow. If you want to
move three paragraphs, control down arrow will do so. If you want to
start NVDA speaking three lines below where you have moved, down arrow three
times, then use the read to end command. It is NVDA key down arrow.
Assuming you are using default settings in NVDA, the insert is the NVDA
key. So the command is either insert and while holding it, press down
arrow.
Do you want to use NVDA as a document
reader for a sighted person or why do you want to do this? At
this point, we don't know if we are giving good help because without knowing
your purpose, we can't evaluate or attempt to determine if screen-readers
are the best way to do what you want.

Hello, I was wondering how a sighted user could skip ahead several paragraphs, and have the screen reader skip ahead and resume reading at a new location. For example, with JAWS, one can highlight the new text to skip ahead to, and the screen reader will resume reading at the highlighted location? I tried this with NVDA, and this doesn't seem possible. If this si not possible, what is the best way to skip text?

NVDA VS. Eset
Ján Kulik
hi all, I can not ask the question NVDA and Eset. I recently installed the trial version of Eset Internet Security. Of course, after I installed and checked the whole computer, I found NVDA to report the word (unknown), only when I was moving taboo and still talking to me (unknown). Of course, I also turned to Eset LTD. There, one e-mail worker wrote to me that they were more or less addressing the navigation problem with JAWS. Do you think you tried to contact Eset, LTD, and I believe that one of the workers did not answer it, just as if nothing.
have a nice day!
