Re: Adding additional language to nvda
Just for the sake of clarity (at least for me), is the request for Sanskrit support in NVDA aimed at :
1. Reading of materials written in Sanskrit. 2. Having NVDA controls, dialogs, etc., translated to Sanskrit 3. Both? My interpretation of the original request, based on how it is worded, was #1 and only #1. The extent of what's being asked for has a huge impact on how long it would take to implement, or even whether implementation is practical, in the foreseeable future. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

Re: Adding additional language to nvda
Matthew Horspool
Hi Narayan, Just to add to what Joseph has already said, there are basically two elements to getting NVDA in a new language: 1. NVDA itself: for example, its menus, dialog boxes, error messages and so on. These all need to be translated into Sanskrit. 2. NVDA's voice, or accent if you prefer: this is called a speech synthesizer. The speech synthesizer that ships with NVDA is called ESpeak and can speak many different languages, but it may not be able to speak Sanskrit. Therefore, although you might find all the error messages are correctly written in the Sanskrit language, ESpeak will try and speak them in an English accent, which could cause all sorts of pronunciation problems. This is for the ESpeak team to solve, not NVDA. However, in the meantime, an alternative speech synthesizer that does speak Sanskrit could be researched and a driver created for it. One more point – could you please confirm whether Sanskrit is written left-to-right or right-to-left? English is written left-to-right. I don't know how well NVDA copes with right-to-left languages and it may be a more complicated matter than simply re-writing all the messages. Someone who has extensive knowledge of both right-to-left languages and technology would be better placed to deal with this particular issue more thoroughly. Best wishes, Matthew

My home page is a file on my own computer that is my favorites. I originally did it with MS internet explorer. It has an export function. If newer browsers have that function you can export your favorites to a file and then make that your home page. I have kept MS IE on my desktop so I can update that file.

Re: Outlook 2016
kelby carlson
My personal laptop and my work tablet are both running Windows 10; I'm not sure if the builds are the same. I also have a work desktop computer which I am still setting up. When i used outlook on that computer just now, there was no sluggishness or unresponsiveness there either. So clearly it is a problem with the computer. I suppose it could be an NVDA problem, but the program was just installed last week and the settings I use are identical including ad-ons. So I guess this will be for my IT to figure out.

Re: Outlook 2016
Kelby,
The behavior differences you've observed give a clear indication that the issue is specific to your work machine and that either NVDA, Office, or some setting is at play. Since uninstalling and reinstalling both NVDA and MS-Office are very easy to do (or should be for your IT folks) that's the first thing I'd try. Do one or the other first, see if that clears things up, then do the other if the first didn't get the hoped for result. Also, since you haven't mentioned it, are both machines running the same Windows release (e.g., 7, 8.1, 10) and, if Windows 10, the same version and build? -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

I have been doing some further experimenting, and it looks like the dlowness is primarily on my work computer and not on my personal computer. I'm not sure why this would be. I am trying to look for possible accessibility settings to change. The essential problem is this: When I arrow through things like email NVDA will read me the first option or two, but will then pretty much stop responding in any way unless I tab into another app.

A query I meant to post earlier about windows messages
Brian's Mail list account
In Windows 7, sometimes in the tray icons is one saying you have one message, basically some kind of problem report. I seldom seem to notice it till then, so one might be forgiven for thinking that invoking the context menu and selecting the open for the centre might just give a clue to what it is.
However normally this opens a screen with things like troubleshooting, security, maintenance etc, and seems to have no obvious way to simply view that message. Am I missing something obvious? So if there is a quick way to just get to that message wherever it is and read it it would be great. It normally tends to be something like Backup issues or some odd crash of explorer or some such, but one can never find the actual text until you accidentally resolve it by guesswork and then you can see it in the old archive. Its a bit pointless then! Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.
