Canada's Literature For the Blind Post Free Concession
Brian K. Lingard
Dear Tyler & List:
Trimmed several previous messages discussing stats on Braille display usage & government subsidies available for Braille displays. The reason CNIB charges the maximum the Ontario ADP program will pay is simple, to effect maximum funds transfer to CNIB when ADP purchases goods, CNIB is an authorized Ontario ADP dealer, The Howe Press of Perkins School is not and is in a foreign country. CNIB also loves veterans of Canada's Forces, as Veterans Affairs Canada never looks for a lower price for goods & services for veterans, accepting CNIB's prices. Not sure if other suppliers to Ontario ADP or Veterans Affairs Canada use a similar pricing model. If you wish to know what CNIB uses the profit on their sales of goods & services for, become a voting member of CNIB. Membership is available to anyone, client sighted alike. Membership is $5/year, lifetime is $100 or $150,you get a vote at the AGM of members, can stand for office, as well as have a vote at your Division and District AGM. Should you be voted onto their Finance or Audit Committees, I expect they will provide all manner of interesting facts & figures, just do not ask to see the spreadsheets providing the breakdown of salaries & wages by employee or expect to receive meaningful replies to questions as to whether the organization pays full commission, receives a preferential rate or deals with a Discount broker, such as TD Direct Trading or similar firms connected with most of our Chartered Banks. It appears many firms treat CNIB as a Piggy bank, charging for goods & services not actually provided, as one of Canada's leading hotel chains told a guest who was having their bill charged to CNIB, the hotel guest questioned one or more items billed to their room which they had not ordered, nor the hotel provided. You would know the hotel chain well, it runs many four and five diamond houses in Canada as well as in other countries. Therefore, if their broker for stock and bond transactions chooses to bill CNIB his full retail commission on transactions that would qualify for the Institutional commission, a fraction of retail, the CNIB National Board of Directors, will likely not question whether they could obtain just as good investment counsel and service on transactions at the same firm or elsewhere. This is partly due to the board members having no or limited business savvy, or perhaps other reasons, best not discussed on a public forum. You are best to refer to the section Literature for the Blind in the Canada Postal Guide for the exact provisions of the concession, available from Public Works & Government Services Canada, Ottawa, Ont or Reneuf Publishing, a major dealer. Or, telephone Canada Post Customer Service on their convenient toll-free number. In general, the concession covers recorded or Braille letters, even Moon type would qualify, intended to be read by blind persons. Includes Braille paper, writing equipment, parts for a Braille printing press, and related stuff. Not sure if it specifically mentions goods such as Braille or talking clocks, watches or a life-size replica of a clock high in its tower, in Westminster, London, with its largest bell known as Big Ben. A full-size replica of this clock would not meet the Canada Post 30 lb. weight limit on Literature for the blind. There are clockmakers in Toronto, and Ottawa willing to install and maintain your chiming tower clock with the Westminster Chime. They require a tower to install it in as well as help from a Hoisting Engineer with a crane of sufficient capacity. Not sure about the clockmaker, however, the Bell Foundry which made the bells sharing Big Ben's belfry is still in business in the White chapel district of London. They can probably recommend a suitable clockmaker. The concession offers similar benefits for qualifying mail addressed for delivery to the USA as well as other foreign lands. Mot sure if it gets a plane ride or goes by surface. It travels by airmail if this will expedite delivery within Canada. Believe foreign airmail service is available at Small Packet postage rate. As this discussion is unrelated to NVDA, I recommend further discussion be taken to acb-chat@... or directly with me. e-mail: BKL@...

I will be the first to admit that Regular Expression syntax is no breeze to learn, but it is by far the best pattern matching mechanism out there. Simple pattern matches require very simple regular expressions, while incredibly complex patterns that can be described verbally can be coded as regular expressions. Mathematical notation is handled already by several different mechanisms. Python is not any more or any less complicated than JAWS scripting, in my opinion. None of this is primarily aimed at the end user, nor can it really be.

Re: Introducing TextNav add-on - a better way to browse Internet
Gene
I'll discuss some points:
First, something that I can comment on very
briefly. You only tried the skip blocks of links command on one site and,
evidently, on one article. I said that on some sites, one method works
better and on others, another does. The skip blocks of links command is an
important and useful command.
It may be that some people want a very simple way
to read articles on web pages and might have problems with using more complex
ways, as you say. My concern is that many people who can learn other ways
that would give them far more versatility and who wouldn't have trouble doing so
may be disuaded from doing so. So perhaps you should discuss just what
this is for and its limitations when you promote or describe it. It is a
reading add-on that allows you to skip to the start of an article and skip all
interruptions to the article such as groups of links to related
material, advertisements image descriptions, and perhaps other things I
haven't thought of. I think that making this clear and saying that those
who want to use the Internet in a wide variety of ways not involving mainly
reading, such as music sites and search sites, still need to learn and become
profficient in the other ways of web navigation NVDA offers. I don't
object to the add-on but there are many blind people who, because of a lack of
knowledge or self-confidence, severely limit themselves because they don't
realize or believe they can't do things they can do. I'm not sure just how
you would present the add-on but for a lot of people this would be an important
convenience but you are extremely limited if you don't know enough about web
page navigation to use search sites. Even many of the older people you are
discussing, I suspect, would want to know how to do basic searches.
When I read a forum, I want to find a solution but
what if I don't have any idea which might be more likely to work or come from a
more knowledgeable user? Being more knowledgeable doesn't necessarily mean
the information is better but I consider it to be information to be aware of,
whether someone is a high ranking member of a list, an employee of Microsoft or
some other relevant company or organization, and other information, if available
that may help me assess his reliability. None of this is heard in the
current way the add-on works.
and there are lots of other kinds of forums.
Some people like to hang out on political forums. they might well want to
know who is writing so they can see if the person is worth reading and either
skipping, skimming, or paying close attention to posts of certain authors.
there are an enormous number of forums. As I said, I don't know if the add-on can have some sort of forums mode. I don't have the technical knowledge to know. also, you didn't respond to what I said about
having an automatic reading mode. This is an important feature. Many
people may use the add-on to find the beginning of an article but may not
continue to use it to read the article because they don't want to issue a
command every few sentences while reading. If there were an automatic read
command, this would allow people to read as they would when using the speak to
end command. But the add-on would skip any extraneous material and read
the entire article without interruption or the need to repeatedly issue the read
command. .
And while this isn't a forum, consider something
like the op-ed pages of a newspaper. A bit of information may be provided
about guest columnists that may be useful to readers. If someone works at
a conservative think tank, his views may be very different than someone who
works for a liberal one. If the person works for a specific company, I
want to know that. That puts me on guard that his views may be defending
the company for which he works. If such information is routinely stripped
by the add-on, that is important.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Introducing TextNav add-on - a better way to
browse Internet Thank you for your feedback, I think these are very reasonable questions you are raising. 1. I didn't claim that TextNav should replace the traditional way of browsing internet. It should rather augment it, be an addition to the standard navigation commands. 2. I see a lot of older blind people, for whom using computer is a burden. You can claim they should still learn the proper way. Or you can let them use the simpler way and let them enjoy what they can enjoy with TextNav. Some of them might never be able to learn the proper way - when you're 80 your brain doesn't work as well as when you're 20. It is a question of simpler tools versus more powerful tools. When cars with automatic transmission just appeared people were claiming they are bad because the drivers will never learn to use the clutch. Or when Windows appeared, some were claiming that it makes people stupid, because they never learn the command-line way of unix. Think of TextNav as a car with automatic transmission. And if you want to learn more powerful ways to navigate web pages, NVDA browse mode commands are always there. 3. I agree I might have slightly exaggerated about 13x speedup. But when I use TextNav myself, I can browse the web many times faster. 4. I never knew of the N command in browse mode. I just tried it on one web page and it seems to skip over the first paragraph of the article. So you would have to press it a few times, try to figure out if you are inside the article, and then go back up until you find the beginning. All that compared to a single keystroke of TextNav. 5. Crackling sound can be turned off or made quieter in the settings. 6. Often times I just want to read the article. I don't want to read the name of the author, date of publication, read the description of the image. Sometimes the article is interesting, and I might want to find the name of the author. Again, I can always do it with the standard browse mode command. But Most of the times I don't care. By skipping over these fields, you save a few seconds every time, but this accumulates over the day into a much more efficient browsing experience. Time will show how many NVDA users are like me not interested in the name of the author. 7. Same thing on the forum. I come to forums to solve my problems, like in my example, the problem with bluetooth headphones. I don't care whatsoever what's the nickname of the guy who asked the question, and I care much less who answered it.

Re: Introducing TextNav add-on - a better way to browse Internet
Gene
I have some comments on your demo for
TextNav. First, it isn't a substitute for learning the layout and
structures of web pages. If you use it before you know these things, you
may not learn to deal with other than straight reading situations
well.
Your claim that TextNav is thirteen times more efficient
when reading the page you used is not correct. it is thirteen times more
efficient if you don't know how to work with internet pages for reading
something like an article well, but you used a very inefficient method for your
comparison. You didn't start at the top of the page and use the skip
blocks of links command, the letter n. That gets you much much closer to
the article text because it skips most of the material on this page before the
article starts. On some pages, move by heading works better. On
some, move by skip nnavigation works bettter. on some, move by heading,
then using skip navigation links works better. On some, the find command
works better. You may not find an efficient way to work with a page until
you experiment. Once you do, you can use other article pages on that site
the same way. I want to be clear. I am
not saying that the add-on isn't very useful in skipping to the first sentence
of an article. But you don't hear the author, you may not hear
introductory material you might want to hear, and, if the article is more than
two or three paragraphs, it would be exceedingly tedious to issue the move to
next paragraph command repeatedly. For a somewhat long news article or a
somewhat long magazine article, I would imagine you might have to issue the
command twenty or thirty or forty or more times. The add-on needs an
automated mode for straight reading uninterruptedly.
And finally, your forum example
demonstrates a real deficiency in the add-on. It starts reading the text
of the first post and skips all information about who wrote it or how old it is
or any other information that might be of interest such as what rating the
person has for reliability or what his credentials are. Also, as you
continue to read and even if you know when a second post is beginning to be
read, you don't know who it is from. You can't be sure all the time, I
would think, who is commenting on comments for the first time or who is making
comments after making other comments. If the add-on is going to really be
useful in such an environment, it needs to do more than just skip through
entries by paragraph and not give you any information such as what I
described. I don't know if this can be done. I don't know if a
forums mode can be developed. That is f o r u m, as discussion forum, not
to be confused with what some people call forms mode in some browsers for
filling out forms.
In short, the add-on has
potential and I am not attempting to discourage its further development.
Critics mmay be your best friends in such situations. But I think the
add-on needs more work and refinement.
and one last thing I forgot to
mention earlier:
The crackling sound should be
able to be turned on and off. If I'm reading, I don't necessarily want to
hear extraneous sounds that notify me of something when I am reading an article
and am not interested in knowing such other information.

Introducing TextNav add-on - a better way to browse Internet

Hello NVDA users

Re: google history
Quentin Christensen
When the page first loads, it displays a pop-up telling you all the wondrous things you can do here. I found I could easily navigate between the next and previous (after going to next at least once) buttons, but had to use object navigation (Next and previous objects) to read the information). There are a couple of screens and then it takes you to the history itself. Once there, I could read the page ok.

Re: BETA2 DOESN'T READ TABLES IN PDF DOCUMENTS
Quentin Christensen
I think the issues are probably a little from column A, a little from column B :) (Did you like what I did there *grin*) Seriously though, opening the PDF file in Word was a good tip, thanks for sharing! Quentin.

google history

Running latest NVDA on a Win 10 1809 system. Tried to use NVDA on the site to remove all your google chrome history.
You go to history.googgle.com NVDA would not read the data on the page to allow you to make choices to remove your history. I was able to do it with Jaws 2019. NVDA is my screen reader of choice so wish I could have done it with NVDA.

Re: A few ideas about simplifying the structure of NVDA's "regular expression"
You are under the mistaken idea that any piece of software can be "all things to all people."
That is not, and never shall be, the way it works. It's not wrong to express your wants and needs, but it's a very bad idea to believe that your own wants and needs should be the primary concern. -- 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
