Re: Is there an explanation for this strange NVDA behaviour?
Steve Nutt
Hi,
Sounds like a power management issue on your laptop rather than NVDA. This is borne out by the fact you say it works when plugged in.
Go into power management and increase the time things like the hard drive, monitor, etc, switch off.
All the best

Hello especially to NVDA developers
I have encountered the very strange behaviour I will describe below and wonder if there is an explanation or fix for it. This is what happens:
I have noticed this only in Edge. When my laptop runs on its battery and I do a read to end in Edge, NVDA will read for a few minutes, maybe two or three minutes, then stops reading. When I move my arrow keys, I notice that the cursor position is far behind the point where NVDA stopped reading. When my laptop runs off the mains, this does not happen at all. NVDA reads continuously for however long I want it to read and the cursor keeps up with the reading position. I hope this makes sense, because it is quite bizarre to me.
Kind regards

Re: Need help learning Braille
Jackie
sociohack, learning Braille is extremely helpful for what you want.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You may not get good enough to read books, but that isn't what you want anyway. You just want to get good enough to read notes, etc, & that is very very doable, even when you're older--& believe me, 22 just is not that old. I can assure you I use it for just that purpose, as well as to sing in choir when I did that. I've seen people who were older & even older diabetics learn it enough for those kinds of uses. Learn it. Start now. You'll be ecstatic you did. Don't let the naysayers have their day.

Need help learning Braille
Akshaya Choudhary
Hi guys! What do you guys suggest? Is learning Braille a good idea at this point? How long will it take and how efficient can I get? I have read on this forum that it is very difficult and you can't get very good at it, if you start leaning it at an advanced age.

Typo3 Backend Using NvDA
Bianka Brankovic <bianka.brankovic@...>
Hello all,
I am using the latest version of NVDA and/or Jaws 18 on my work computer. As we have switched to Typo3 for our CMS backend, I am looking for information about the accessibility of the Typo3 backend with NVDA. Up to now, my search on the web wasn't successful. If you could provide me with info on how to improve the accessibility of Typo3 backend with NVDA I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks and kind regards, Bianka

update bug in NVDA 2018.4
Davy Cuppens
Hi folks
I set NVDA so that it is allowed to update automatically and new updates
are allowed to be presented while starting up again.
However, I noticed that I was still on nvda 2018.4 and not 4.1. I did the
update manually whithout any problem.
I can reproduce this update bug from several other belgian and dutch
users.
Regards
Davy

Adding the caps lock key doesn't stop the numpad
insert from being used. it adds another option. In short, you can
still use it.

Molly, FWIW, on all my desktop layout PC's, I do have the keyboard settings option turned on to also be able to use caps lock when it suits me.
But, have never worked with laptop layout as such, so, can't help much there.

Re: Is there an explanation for this strange NVDA behaviour?
Gene
I don't know how long you listen to material using
read to end, but I doubt the screen uses that much power. I would suggest
having it on, constantly on. You can save battery power by lowering the
brightness of the screen, but I don't know how bright you should have it set
for. If you are only using the computer yourself, I would think you can
set it as low as you are allowed. The only thing I wonder about is if you
set it too low, if sighted people would be able to see it if necessary.
But if you leave the setting at the default for when the computer is running on
power, that may not matter. I'm thinking particularly if you need sighted
help with doing some sort of maintenance or with an inaccessible web site or
program you have to use for some reason.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Is there an explanation for this strange NVDA
behaviour? Hi Quentin
I have now figured out that it seems like the
strangeness occurs when the screen gets turned off due to no keyboard activity
for the duration specified in Power settings. This time was set very short for
when the laptop is running on battery. I have substantially increased the time
before the screen gets turned off and that fixes the problem for that duration.
I am surprised,though, that it should matter to NVDA whether or not the screen
turns off.
Kind regards

Re: Meandering NVDA Miscellany (including that it's alive and well)
Gene
The thread helps build a sense of community and
also probably results in more people contributing to NVDA. If you disagree
with my assessment, you may contact the list owner at this address:
Both the owner and I see messages directed to that
address.
Also, I haven't used it so I'll let others discuss the
matter further, there is a mute thread feature on Groups.io lists.

It isn't Practical to help unless we know if the person is using the desktop or laptop layout. One system should be taught at a time.
There is a tutorial by Joseph Lee that teaches object navigation. I may send my own in the not distant future.
Other list members can tell you where to get Joseph Lee's tutorial.

I have an insert key on my laptop, but it is physically impossible to use object navigation with the insert key due to where it is located on my machine. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. I’d like to start donating to NV access. Do I need to use pay pal for that?

Yup! A subscription would help NV Access after the grants run out. Donating is the biggest and best way you can keep NV Access going. If you want something in return, buy a product or service from their store. Buy training materials. Throw money at them! :)
