When I started my computer this morning I went to read my email and every key I pressed nvda kept saying "not in a table cell". I have no idea what that was about. I tried nvda key plus q to quit or restart nvda and it kept saying the same silly thing about table cells. Fortunately I have the Spydec P-View utility and I was able to find nvda.exe in the list of running apps and I was able to kill it from there. After I restarted nvda, everything was normal again! This is the first time I've ever had this happen in several years of using nvda. It was probably a one in a million glitch of some kind, but I'll watch and see if it ever happens again but I doubt it will. Any ideas on what might have happened? Just curious as I don't think this is a bug.

You can configure the caps lock key to be the NVDA key. You should definitely do this.

Hey guys, Molly here again.

I’m trying to help a friend with object navigation. Can the insert key be used in object navigation, or does it require just the caps lock key? 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.

Pascal Lambert <coccinelle86@...>
 

Yes, learning Braille is definitely an asset for a blind person and even for those who still have some vision. Listening to information is fine, however, there are times when you need to have your fingers on the info for spelling and for close analysis of what you are reading. You are still young and, with practice, you can become a proficient reader. I read books in Braille and I can read with both hands about 350 words per minute. I started learning Braille as a teen in France.
Best of luck. Any question, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Blessings
Pascal

sociohack, learning Braille is extremely helpful for what you want.
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.

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.

You only have to run the .reg file once.  Those entries remain in the system registry once they're placed there, so in the future when you boot into Safe Mode, however you do that, you should have sound.

I would appreciate reports back on how this works out as I do not have time to test myself but trust the folks who've examined the .reg script - they know what they're doing.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You are one of those people who're trying to spread the panic, aren't you?
As for 64 bit, this is not the first time on this mailing list that you're complaining about. The truth is that there is no need to switch to 64-bit as it is not likely to increase performance or support of other software. So please stop using 64-bit support as the reason for imminent decline of NVDA. NVDA devs are not going to work on this just because you want it.
In another thread on this mailing list you also mentioned that NVDA should use SSE and multithreading. That's another ridiculous statement of yours. SSE is for floating point computations and therefore it's not applicable to NVDA. Multithreading is already being used in NVDA.
So, stop complaining. and stop spreading panic.

I will comment on this. While NVDA isn't dieing, development has certainly slowed down considerably since Jamy left the project. NVDA is falling behind jaws in adopting some newer introduced technologies, e.g, 64 bit, UIA support for office, which jaws has implemented completely for all office apps etc. Therefore the concern which was also expressed on the dev list is certainly understandable.

Thank You Joseph Lee, for Your answer.

 

I was also worried. There was also some alarmed message between people,

who speachs Czech and Slovak, but It was unnecessary alarm.

 

 

 

 
Re: need help explaining object navigation to a friend

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.

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.

My friend has a desktop and a laptop. Not sure which one they’re using.

Does the person have a numpad on their machine?  Which keyboard layout are they using?

Subject: [nvda] need help explaining object navigation to a friend

 

Hey guys, Molly here again.

I’m trying to help a friend with object navigation. Can the insert key be used in object navigation, or does it require just the caps lock key? 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.

You are one of those people who're trying to spread the panic, aren't you?
As for 64 bit, this is not the first time on this mailing list that you're complaining about. The truth is that there is no need to switch to 64-bit as it is not likely to increase performance or support of other software. So please stop using 64-bit support as the reason for imminent decline of NVDA. NVDA devs are not going to work on this just because you want it.
In another thread on this mailing list you also mentioned that NVDA should use SSE and multithreading. That's another ridiculous statement of yours. SSE is for floating point computations and therefore it's not applicable to NVDA. Multithreading is already being used in NVDA.
So, stop complaining. and stop spreading panic.

hi,

I will comment on this. While NVDA isn't dieing, development has certainly slowed down considerably since Jamy left the project. NVDA is falling behind jaws in adopting some newer introduced technologies, e.g, 64 bit, UIA support for office, which jaws has implemented completely for all office apps etc. Therefore the concern which was also expressed on the dev list is certainly understandable.
