Hey guys, Molly here again.

I don't know what happened but all of a sudden my keyboard on my
tablet doesn't seem to work with nvda. I press a key, like the windows
key, and nvda is completely silent. It is silent when I press any key
on the keyboard. The only way nvda talks is if I use the mouse.

I don't know what I did, but I am so stupid. I am just too dumb to
ever be a good nvda user. Is there a way to force the machine to
restart? I am feeling completely incompetent.

Hi to all,

I am a new member to this group so please forgive me for posting something which may have already been discussed. You may feel free to refer me to the archives of this list for information.

On my windows 7 computer currently running the most up-to-date NVDA version, pressing the exit keystroke does not allow NVDA to exit. That is to say, there is an error sound then the program restarts.

I have done some google searching and found that this might be due to an add-on problem. It seems I have narrowed it down to the Nuance vocalizer add-on, which means of course I can not use this voice. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hey all. I'm thinking of subscribing to SiriusXM radio to check it
out. I'll mostly be listening on a PC. So I was wondering if anybody
has tried it and can report on accessibility. Do they have an app? Do
you just listen through the website? Can you stream it in another
media player? I know you can stream it on the Amazon Echo stuff but I
don't have one, though I did install the Alexa app for Windows 10.
Anyway, if anybody has any info on accessibility, I'd surely
appreciate it. I figured I'd ask here because if it's not accessible
for some reason then I won't bother with it.

Hello!

What flavour of Vocalizer are you using?

From Tiflotecnia or CodeFactory?
If from Tiflotecnia, Vocalizer or Vocalizer Expressive?

described.

Yeah. I think the magnetic strip on the keyboard gets dirty or something.

My son has had the surface Pro for a while now and his major complaint is
the interface between the tablet and keyboard. Fails to connect often and
drops connection often.

Hey guys, Molly here again.

I hope this message doesn’t get sent twice, because last night I was
frustrated and said said things I regret.

Anyway, I discovered that while nvda wasn’t talking while using the
keyboard, I could still use the touchscreen. I disconnected the
keyboard and cleaned it. It collects dust and crap because of the
material it’s made from. Anyway, the machine works completely fine
now. And our Internet is working again. As soon as I logged on Nvda
wanted me to update some addons. So everything works. I really hope I
don’t panic the next time something like this happens. Panicking doesn’t

solve anything.

 And it just makes me look stupid.

HI,


I wonder if doing a total uninstall and reinstall would work. On the
home page for this add on, there is some reference to issues with
updating from within the add on itself. This may be causing the issues
you have.
