Re: NVDA and ads blocker
Gene
But on this site are these adds or links that are
probably image links that lead to advertisements if followed. Of course,
ad blockers block ads but blocking those kind of unlabeled links is something I
have no idea if they would do.

I got a deal for all of stone river Elearning for $59, then for $99 I got the whole collection of educba classes. (the next day, I saw it for $49) *grumble*), so if you're patient, and if you really want to learn, there's no reason why you can't learn anything you like. This is just talking about python classes and books, but this works for just about any topic. Hope this helps.

I just mentioned TextNav in another thread, but it might also help with your problems. You can try my TextNav addon for NVDA - It will skip most of the ads automatically for you. As a bonus, you can also skip over menu items and other junk on the web pages with it. https://github.com/mltony/nvda-text-nav/releases/download/v1.0/textnav-1.0.nvda-addon Promo audio and usage explanation (7 minutes audio): https://soundcloud.com/user-977282820/textnav-promo Best Tony

Before I fill out the survey
Suzy
Before I fill out the survey, I want to make sure I have legitimate issues. I haven't found any documentation explaining how to deal with these problems. That doesn't mean I didn't miss something, though.
First. Ads on websites. I waste a lot of time trying to get past ads. I've tried the keystroke to get past the current container to no avail. So I find myself quickly scrolling through the frames listening to "inserted Inserted", Jibberish, and "out of frame out of frame", along with other unwanted information. The other is related. It is blank lines and graphics in email. I use Outlook 2016, which is part of my Office 365 subscription. Emails from Amazon, USAA, my utility companies, and others are full of blank lines and graphics. Sometimes, I know a key word to look for and use the find command, but many times I have no clue what to do other than down arrow, down arrow, down arrow. Yes, I know i can view some of these messages on the web, but I don't always want to log in and grope a web page for the information. I just want to read my mail. So, are these really issues? Or have I not discovered the proper solution to my problems? Suzy

Alternatively, there are browser extensions that can remove ads for you. AdBlock and AdBlock+ are the two I know, I think both have versions for both Chrome and Firefox. Not quite sure about their accessibility, but from what I remember, you just need to install them and never touch them again - they'll filter all your traffic for you. Best Tony

Pascale I don’t believe these sites violate the ADA. It’s a bit of a stretch to even go that far. I do understand where your coming from because I do visit: a lot. The only solution is using JAWS’s Flexible Web feature which is beyond the scope of this list. The sites are a bear to navigate that’s for sure.

Re: NVDA and ads blocker

Also, you gave site URLS. Please give a page
where such links occur? I have no idea what article or articles may
contain them and it is a waste of time to read full articles, perhaps many, to
find one of these links. If you cite one specific article, I'll read it
and I'll try reading view and perhaps another way around the
problem.

Re: NVDA and ads blocker
Gene
The ADA says things should be accessible. I
don't know if inconvenience ever rises to a level of a violation of
accessibility laws, but it often doesn't. I would suggest, when problems
of formatting or such as you are describing now are found, that you ask if
people know of ways to reduce or eliminate the problem instead of first
resorting to a legal remedy which you will likely not get support for by
institutions or those who bring accessibility actions and which may take a long
time to be ejudicated in the court system.
In this case, while I don't know what browser you
are using , try another browser. Also, if you do or don't want to try
another browser first, Some browsers have a reading view. If they don't,
you can use an add-on. This removes a lot of extraneous material from web
pages and it may remove these long links.
also, there is an NVDA add-on I saw discussed about
a month ago that may deal with a problem like yours but I don't recall the name
and it may do other things you don't like.
Gene

Re: NVDA command to read columns in a MS Word document
Chris Mullins
Hi I am not sure the Control+alt+Arrows work in this situation. My understanding is that this is not a table but a formatting option to make the document look like columns such as in a newspaper. I seem to recall Jaws having some key commands for this but I can’t remember if it’s the same keystrokes as those used to read tables.
Cheers Chris

Re: nvda and adobe digital edition
Mallard <mallard@...>
Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You sure don't need the programme to read DRM-free epubs, but you need it to read ebooks protected with Adobe DRM. In adition, there are many instances where you can't download ebooks if you don't have ADE, because what you get when you buy or borrow ADE books is an acsm file, which is a license. In order to obtain the actual book, you need to open it with ADE. This is what I know. Are there any alternatives? I wish there were! Ciao, Ollie

I thought that there was an option with all adobe stuff to decline their extras. If that did not work it might pay dividends to talk to Adobe about it, I'd imagine the last thing they would want is sombody telling people not to download their software due to another piece of software.
