What didn't you like about the interface? You
don't have to pay to use it because of a design flaw or bug, whetever it
is.
After the demo period runs out, if you open the
program and start it playing, it will be fully functional for a few
minutes.
Then, an ok button will come up. If you have
already decided to listen to a specific station and have it playing, it will
play that station until you activate the ok button. The program will then
close and the default web browser will open to the Tapin site. of course,
you can just close it.
To keep the playlist current, use the search for updates
feature at intervals. I haven't tried to see how often updates come
out. My impression is something like once a month or two.

Subject: [nvda] Internet radio software recommended for use with
NVDA?
Asking this since the older, free version of tapIn radio was
perfectly usable, but, they've now updated to what seems to be a paid-for
version, and while it's station listings will be kept up to date, the older
version will start lacking functional entries in the station
listings. Now, while I understand paying for worthwhile software, I
tried out the demo version of the new software, and, didn't like it's
reworked interface, and, secondly, I don't see why I should pay for
something like this if there are free alternatives that people would
recommend? So, suggestions on what to try out? Would be
nice if you could record it's output via the software, but, that's not the
end of the world, since the main thing is being able to browse station
categories/catalogues, being able to then control playback, audio output,
etc. etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype:

And yet, there is still some percentage of blind folks who have
not learned braille at all, claiming they don't need it.
They sure are missing out. Reading braille and having specific
spellings ingrained onto the brain simply by the sheer
repetitiveness of taking in words via the fingers is well worth
the slower reading time.
But as someone else also rightly pointed out, inept teaching can
also cause the same issues. Honestly it comes down to
proofreading. Take 30 seconds and proofread the message - I see
countless messages with actual missing letters or spaces that any
screen reader, much less braille display, picks out.

Not trying to make anybody mad here, but it really is
disconcerting to see
so many people here using wander and wonder interchangeably.
Wander (with an"A" ) is what you do when you're out and
about, and don't
have any particular place to be, and you just feel like
taking your time to
see what's going on around you. You wander around, looking
at things, and
simply taking things easy.
On the other hand, wonder (with an "O" ) is what you do when
you're curious
about something. Yeah, it's ok to wonder about life, the
universe and
everything, but if you wander about such things, you may
never find your way

TLDR: We're all in such a panic to get things done that no blind person is going to take the two seconds to see a spelling of an item using a screen reader. I'm glad braille displays are getting just a little bit cheaper.
Hi,
This is why it is always best to keep braille around, uncontracted.
Who actually uses a screen reader to see how things are spelled? It is so much easier to glance (sorry, with our fingers) down at a braille display, see that their (as belonging) is T H E I R. Rather than spelling it T H E R E because that's how it sounds.
But, then there is the other argument that grade 2 braille teaches us the opposite, so who knows. I know my spelling deteriorated when I stopped reading braille books and switched to audio.

Usually if one does not know how a word is spelt he will go how he speaks it because it sounds fine enough.

Re: [EXTERNAL] - Re: [nvda] wonder vs. wander
This message may be somewhat difficult to read with
speech.
It is just negligent not to teach people what
the signs standd for. You do spell that version of the word t h e I r with
dots 4-5-6 the sign. But if students were taught that dots 4-5-6 stand for
e I r, they would be able to figure out print spellings. Also, 4-5-6
followed by m causes 4-5-6 to stand for a n y. Thus, the word many, 4-5-6
followed by m. Germany, G e r sign dots 4-5-6- m. Ger plus a n y
sign followed by m.
Dot 5 is o n e when followed by an o. M
dot 5 ony, money. H dot 5 ony, honey. Dot 5 o one. G dot 5 o g
o n e, gone.
What we are discussing is just one more sign of
incompetence and inferior education some, perhaps many, blind children
receive, and guess who ends up looking incompetent, whyich is blamed by the
sighted world on blindness? Not the teacher.

Re: NVDA not read anything in any browser.
Hi
The tool should of fixed the problem. After you used it did you shut down the computer properly or just restart?
Before the tool was made I used the following to fix it on my windows 10 64 bit machine.
It basically said if you are having these problems and tells you what to do. it must be done to the letter.
Troubleshooting - NVDA says “unknown” or “pane” in all of your browsers, Mozilla Thunderbird email client and other places
If for some reason you have problems with NVDA saying “unknown” or “pane” check for the following symptoms:
•
In all of your browsers, or the Mozilla Thunderbird email client, no matter what you do, you still hear “unknown” or “pane”.
•
In the browser, email client and other menus you notice you cannot get into your menus, or you are unable to use the quick navigation keys
•
When you have been told the page is loaded and notice strange behaviour
•
Mozilla Thunderbird saying unknown while you try to navigate it
•
Your applications key does not work with it being spoken out and other strange behaviour in Windows
•
The running applications icons are not being spoken out
It might be a good idea to do the following:
Please note: If you are hearing “unknown” or “pane” (as discussed above) NVDA might seem like it is still working properly but it may not be completely in Windows and other programmes.
You could try the following solution which will allow you to re-register your dll files in case they are causing the problem.
Press the Windows key then type the following into the search box. Type in “command prompt”. Once you have located command prompt, in the search results, press the Applications key to bring up the context menu. Arrow down to select “run as administrator” and
press the Enter key. This will take you to a command prompt window. This will not be spoken out. You may need sighted assistance for this.
Type in the following command
for %x in (c:\windows\system32\*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %x
This should re-register all components in the system32 folder.
When it is finished, you can close the command prompt window with the Alt + F4 key. You should notice now where NVDA was saying “unknown” as in some examples given, NVDA should now read the icons in the running applications area of Windows, speak the content
of the webpage and menus, and also in Mozilla Thunderbird and other places in Windows including the Windows applications context menu.
Run COM Registration Fixing tool
If you are getting any of the following problems below - with Windows unregistering some of the files needed by NVDA - the following tool section in NVDA will get you out of trouble. To access this tool press the NVDA key + letter N while NVDA is running. Arrow
down to the tools menu. A submenu will come up. Arrow down to the menu called Run COM Registration Fixing tool... then press the Enter key. It should register the files needed by NVDA.

My suspicion, and not just in this case, is that there is a
widespread use of dictation (speech-to-text) software these days.
With words such as wonder and wander, when said in the flow of
normal speech often sound remarkably similar, as the vowel gets
what I call "schwa-ed".
Unless you're using dictation software that has some AI features
where it looks at surrounding context before closing in on the
actual word wanted you'll often get substitutions like this.
It seems to be far more common on certain forums than others, and
if I'm being perfectly honest it's way more common on blind and
low-vision forums than elsewhere. Since most individuals I know
personally do know how to spell (at least as well as anyone else I
know) and do so when typing, I have to suspect dictation software
is at play at least a decent part of the time.

I do not know, I was wondering the same. However I found another bug in the new version. I It removes some registry entries its not supposed to. When I ran it on windows 7 after first setting a restore point, I'm not daft! It got rid of my default email links, and reconfigured the browser to use IE and the media player to use Windows media player. Now I'm sure you could tell it to ignore these but it seems its not reading the default settings always. Interestingly on XP machines, no such funnies. So I put everything back as it was. However I hd to reinstall Winamp as it also too all the context menu options out but the restore did not put them back.
I do wish when software writers make new versions they exhaustively test them on the versions of Windows they will encounter. I'm sure this is just a bug where it fails to read the defaut parameter file but its irritating and I can imagine it might upset somebody who does not understand concepts like registry keys being pointers to programs to use by default.

I agree, I have the same issue, due to old infrastructure I have decided to upgrade the network printer system to a newer model.
So yesterday I looked at units all afternoon and this afternoon I will buy and install one.
However that involves in first getting rid of the old one.
Thats all and good,, take it off the web cloud, then clearing the drivers and extra software.
Of course, the oldest user system in the house a i3 gen1 with win7 with some what of a mangled install and which is simply about because its user doesn't want to afford to update and is rarely used for anything now and its got a lot of junk on it had to have issues.
I had to delete the ocr solution manually, a few reg keys, an add remove programs entry, a few files.
Then I had to go and find an old out of date possibly malware infested tool to get rid of its installer and such.
Then there was a stuck print job from 2016 just sitting there and I had to run another file I had to clear that and a few other things.
Its probably more messed up now but as long as it boots thats fine, its due to be trashed, almost died last summer, maybe this summer it will die and I can get the user to actually ask me to upgrade it for him rather than asking me to repair such an ancient unit <sigh>
The joy of being the network admin.
I just hope I can clear it off the workstation, that and a reformat of the device is all I need to do before I sell it.

Not trying to make anybody mad here, but it really is disconcerting to see so many people here using wander and wonder interchangeably. Wander (with an"A" ) is what you do when you're out and about, and don't have any particular place to be, and you just feel like taking your time to see what's going on around you. You wander around, looking at things, and simply taking things easy. On the other hand, wonder (with an "O" ) is what you do when you're curious about something. Yeah, it's ok to wonder about life, the universe and everything, but if you wander about such things, you may never find your way back to your back yard, having being swept off into galaxies unknown.

I was fortunate to have a teacher who placed emphasis on spelling
as well as learning the braille contractions. A friend of mine
went to a school for the blind where the teachers there didn't
think of the importance of good spelling. Her mother was helping
her with her homework and asked her "how do you spell Their?". She
answered something like "dot 4 5 6 the sign". Her mother answered
"no. It's t h e i r".

Yes, you will want to use the wiki to get started, and possibly make reference to it later.
I still have trouble with some of the advanced preferences, doing things like applying filters. There’s a lot under VLC’s hood though and if you want to play videos, especially, it’s invaluable.
Re the forum, I think there might be a captsha unfortunately.

Take care

I'm writing as a moderator to explain my thinking about the message. Of course, if the owner disagrees, that will be the controling decision.
While it is generally not done and not considered proper, I think you are overreacting. For one thing, I see this error with native English speakers. I don't recall seeing
it with non native speakers. Since this sort of discussion never takes place on the list, I let it pass. a little variety is enjoyable and may stimulate thought and awareness. No one was flamed. No one was disparaged. These days, being offended by everything
is a cultural passtime and fixsture. I don't see anything offensive in the message.

Hello Travis:
I find your email to be quite insensitive. As you are probably aware, this
list is comprised of people from all over the globe, many of whom are not
native English speakers. I am always impressed when people are capable of
speaking an additional language other than their native tongue and
criticizing them for grammatical mistakes on a list not focused on
grammatical correctness is petty and unwarranted. It is also off topic.
Rick

Not trying to make anybody mad here, but it really is disconcerting to see
so many people here using wander and wonder interchangeably.
Wander (with an"A" ) is what you do when you're out and about, and don't
have any particular place to be, and you just feel like taking your time to
see what's going on around you. You wander around, looking at things, and
simply taking things easy.
On the other hand, wonder (with an "O" ) is what you do when you're curious
about something. Yeah, it's ok to wonder about life, the universe and
everything, but if you wander about such things, you may never find your way
back to your back yard, having being swept off into galaxies unknown.
And, of course, it's perfectly acceptable to wonder about wandering too,
especially if you're wondering why so many people wander into things.
