Donating/purchasing from the NVDA website
Sile
Hello
I just crashed out of buying products and donating to NVDA because their website frustrated me. I was stuck in australian dollars for currency and in an australian address format. Then when I went to donate, it took me out of my shopping cart and I lost the products that were in there. So NVDA got nothing from me today. I am guessing I am not the only person to be put off donating and purchasing because of these website glitches.. --Sile

Re: NVDA and the new Spreely.com social network

Hello,
I did not spend any time looking at the site, but most newer web development environments create a single page experience, where instead of refreshing the entire page when a link is clicked, only a little bit of the page is updated. The Frontside podcast had some discussions a month or two back on how to improve accessibility in these sites. Also, at least two accessibility companies have started developing react accessibility widgets that have components that have been tested with both mobile and desktop screen readers.

"wepages" was a spelling mistake. I just wanted to write "webpages" but I made a mistake and typed "wepages" clickables are important elements on webpages. they are like buttons and links. by either clicking on which, or pressing enter, or space, you will be directed to another page. or perhaps a file is either played or downloaded. in a nutshell, they are as important as links and buttons. I see lots of them in webpages these days. in Jaws, you can move on different clickables by pressing / "slash" key. you can also have the list of clickables by pressing control+insert+/ but unfortunately, NVDA lacks such a thing. suppose you are visiting a webpage which plays a radio station, the play and pause controls are shown as clickables. and they are located in the middle of the page. in JAWS you can reach them by simply pressing / "slash" key once or twice. however, it takes you much more time reaching them using NVDA. you should arrow down until you reach them. take care.

Clickable means that if you click the mouse in that area the web page will run a JavaScript routine, but that the web designer knows too little about accessibility to define the area as a link or button. , In some sites it will just bring up a dialog better describing what the section is about in other pages it performs a real action. For example in the time code entry system that I use, completed time entry is clickable and in order to adjust reported time one needs to click on the appropriate time entry field.

All this time and I still don't know what "clickable" means. I assumed it is the same as a link. Guess not, huh? Up until now, I haven't found a need to search for them. And then "wepages"? I am confused.

Hi Raha, We do have an open issue for this feature: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/124 It is fairly old, but there has been gradual discussion on it and any comments you might add to it or use cases etc would be welcome. Kind regards Quentin.

Bar the code factory voices on atguys the vocaliser ones which are sort of cheapish, none of the voices in pack form are really that cheap. I'd like to upgrade my voices to something 64 bit instead of using the cracked freedomscientiffic ones I got of a friend ages back, I mean I can use them legally as they came on a jaws 8 demo cd but they are not 64 bit and I have been thinking on updating my voice package. The thing I want is a voice pack, so for me that means all english language voices mainly but the only ones remotely like that is infovox and thats about 300 bucks. Thats ok ish I guess, but everything is more than that.

I am going to tell you about a very little difficulty on NVDA. as you all know, while using JAWS, pressing the / "slash" key navigates us around on different clickables in webpages. clickables are kind of important these days. but there's no key defined for NVDA to locate clickables on wepages. I think this can't be done by developping a new addon. it should be developped by main NVDA designers and programmers. thanks again. I hope they will read this mail and assign a key for clickables. / "slash" seems to be fine. take care.

Hello:
We have developed local language tts voice and would love to get it in the extra voices in github viki. As far as I know, Michael is the editor of that page. And I didn't find any information relating to this matter, whether it is possible or not to add a local tts in that list, and whom I should contact in case voice that supports different language than english can be listed there.

Re: questions about .pdf forms
Dale Leavens
The problem when using modern word processors is the variability of font size and spacing. You need to be certain that edits will match both for appearance and accurate location.

Several decades ago using a CP/M computer I purchased a strip of plastic with tractor feeds on each side into which I could fit a sheet of paper, specifically intended for computer filling pre-printed paper forms. You started by printing a grid of numbers and lines for cell and row positioning over the blank form then set up a form in the word processor and specifying X and Y coordinates. This worked when the character positions war 80 across the line but would be a bit more difficult to achieve today depending on the pitch of the font being used Still, there may be something in this which you could use to locate the input fields you require for the form.
