Thank you guys for your encouragement! I would definitely initiate learning Braille as soon as possible. As many of you have suggested, even if I don't become proficient enough to read books, I would definitely be able to read notes and make presentations more efficiently. Also, I would like to clarify, many of you talked about contracted Braille. Is that similar to learning short hand for the sighted people?

Once again, thank you all for your feedback and support.

This is what happens when you don't read the whole thread. I know all this stuff about the nature and configuration of the military/amateur radio clock time VS local and civilian time.  I was asking the guy who said that the Clock Add on for NVDA what happened when the clock reached 1 minute after 0 hours.


If you had read his original message, you would have seen that this add on was wrongfully saying 2400 hours when the clock reached 0 hours or 12 AM local time.  I asked him what it did after it had reached that point and he answered me that indeed it kept wrongfully identifying 0 hours as 24 hours as in: 2401, 2402, 2403 and so on.

After that its 1300 right to 2359.

24 hour is a military type timescale and can handle just about any timezone.

Where its not critical for normal people in general 12 hours is enough and you start from 1 again, but all clocks are 24 hours they just convert to 12.

The first analog clocks were only 12 hours, I don't know much more than that.

But I know a couple of audio and ham opps that have and continue to enjoy all the time codes and sequences both military and otherwise and have even wrote simulators and have experienced and have demos of the actual military clocks and those first ones were quite large.

The time servers you sync your time to are most likely 24hour.

The reason we civilians use 12 hours is its just easier to handle, but 24 hours is the correct timescale so its worth knowing both or at least the existance of both.

In general unless you are in military, radio, or need to do international business where you need to meet at a certain time you won't need to worry about it generally especially if you do it locally.

If you need to tell someone in a different zone, then you need to refference at some point a universal timezone which is always something like gmt I think could be slightly different, I only know its a us zone and its always 24 hours.

At any rate, even if you never ever have to refference it yourself you may get a refference and have to convert it back for your own zone.

That is basicaly the end of what I have managed to gleen from those I know, as I said earlier I know people that have actually seen the old military clocks and have even toured their instalations and are crazy on that sort of thing.

Its a bit to complex for me to be honest but for the enginiering types  about its used a lot especially if their is interest about.

If you are a ham radio op and there may be a few on here, then you probably know all this and probably know where I am buggering it up to, I can't pretend I know enough of it to fully understand it.

For most of us all you need to be able to do is convert between 12 and 24 hours if you get a time or need to convert a time period.

For that all you need to know is that 24 hours is 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds long.

12 hours starts at 12 and ends at 12.

Thats the only difference you need to know about.

For the rest, its not important to know all 30+ timezones.

What will probably happen these days at any rate is if you do whatever you need to do you would have your computer or phone or both set with clocks of where you would do business or whatever and it would handle things for you.

www.thinkman.com has dimention4, that should handle syncing, its old and hasn't been updated in ages, but then it doesn't need to be, as long as we have time servers its fine.

To be honest, the databases don't change that much, the time clocks are located in military bases or universities.

There may be multiple sources.

I have 4 major clocks in my country.

nntp is the main time extention its acurate and quite fast its relyable.

You may also see standard web http servers and may see a few of those.

Now, for whatever reason to set a timeserver on the web is dead easy and doesn't seem to cost, but using the dedicated time extention nntp does cost so only the big military and universities use it or even both.

nntp like pop3 is ancient, there is a lot of stuff via the web now.

NNtp is also costly to run, again you can do all your own research, you can start at www.worldclock.com, but its important because you will need to select the fastest location in dimention4 or other synced system client.

As a general rule dimention4 will start in a military base in a central region of the us but you should select the closest location so know your citties and pick the closest place to get speed.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Is NVDA Really Dying?

You know, I still have that issue with narator.

In my opinion, nvda is what narator should be.

I like narator's scan mode but thats it, if nvda could copy the scan mode of narator that would be fine.

Narator is not a screen reader.

It will never be a screen reader in my view.

At most it has been upgraded from an useless crappy gimicy pit of junkware, to a handy and usefull tool with features like the supernova nav mode or jaws virtual curser.

These modes can read to a limited extent buttons, images, and a few things.

Granted, if you use microsoft programs narator is probably going to be fine with that.

Its microsoft so you'd expect it.

If all you want to do is use microsoft apps and microsoft software and nothing else, then I guess narator could be classed as a propper screen reader for microsoft software.

Its a little hit and miss with everything else though.

When it hits and it does mostly then it can be a real help but the chance of a hit and miss are 50 50.

Narator is now a nice tool but thats it.

To even get close to what nvda is.

1. be scriptable and or have addons to increase its functionality.

2. be able to have nvda's navigation features and usual features of a screenreader.

Be able to be used by third parties.

In order for the last one, narator source code needs to be released to just about everyone and microsoft won't do that because they won't.

Its like windows and a few other things,some stuff ms just will not release.

Interestingly I do know that its basically released for free the ms office file engine and most of its kernal, also a lot of windows itself and various components are opensourced or freely available.

They don't make it easy though,you need to know how to use what they released to you.

I'd really like to know for those that have reviewed narator with a really good rating how much money ms are giving them.

Coolblindtech rave about how good narator is.

Nvda connects with the os closer than any other reader I have.

If narator was truely like that, nvda and just about everything else would be dead and gone.

But narator isn't even interacting with the os to the fullest extent that it could.

Narator is good to get things going and good to get you out of a tight spot but thats it.

For those that say its good, then you are just using it in situations where it can understand things.

Now don't get me wrong, narator is no longer crap, its actually a usefull support tool.

But depending on it alone well its not really enough.

Now if all you use are universal apps and microsoft only software then you don't need anything else.

Since most people in this world at least I hope most do use other software then its fine.

Actually the only reason mainly that apple voice over itself is so good is that you are locked in to use apple only software with it, there are limitations when using thirdparty software not as bad as narator but there are limits.

It does concern me, like others are saying, that while they seem to be improving microsoft don't seem to be trying hard enough.

They could distroy vispero, and dolphin and others if they really wanted to.

Actually dolphin would probably just quit they seem to be going quite slowly and are still behind on internet brouser access and this is from a current ish user of their software and not a bash.

If narator blitsed the industry, its not like they would care if they just went.

Vispero would put up a challenge I am sure but exactly why that would be would be unknown.

Its a lot of companies put together, its only defence is probably because microsoft didn't previde before they did and they are one of the oldest screenreader companies but thats about it.

Lets face it, nvda's opensource nature means it can leap faster than well anyone including microsoft.

And while it has its limits to, I do know if microsoft really wanted it they could smash everyone like the hulk, but they don't.

There are barely 2 companies that stand in its way, one of them has become bloated and the other one just hangs in there.

The only reason they don't is probably because of the reputation of narator mainly maybe and also that a lot of governments and others still use jaws and will do so for some time.

Even if everyone went, somehow nvda would probably stay about, its not like nvda and its stuff will ever become an issue for microsoft to deal with, its not like it will ever be a competition type deal for us and microsoft, it does make me wander why they don't just move.

Then again it could be simply because they either don't want to or just don't need to.

With the net in general going tablet to a bigger degree maybe they want to push that boundary.

I do think though that ms lost a great opertunity with windoweyes.

There was a joke that ms would buy gwmicro etc but it never happened.

They got it with office using windoweyes, but no further.

If they brought windoweyes and improved it, then all they would need to do is keep it running with the latest bits and bobs, they wouldn't need narator, and if they did it right they could put it on their microsoft phones and game consoles and suddenly issue solved but they didn't.

The only way this could improve would be if microsoft decided to use nvda freely as their reader of choice, maybe asking us first, and they could freely do whatever with the code in any case to a point.

Then released narator as opensourced or gave the nvaccess group the source of narator and we combine those.

Now that wouldn't be as good as actually grabbing windoweyes when they had the chance but at least there would be room for a functional reader then.

Nvda still has some shortcomings but to be honest thats still fine.

With the fact that we now need bits of nvda loaded anyway and installed to access some secure screens I want to revisit the interceptor display drivers a lot of readers have.

Granted these would be only used if nvda was installed and not generally, heck maybe not all the time only when needed but even if it was all the time or when it was needed, the main reason I was against it is that you didn't have to install nvda, now with win10 you need to install nvda for full functionality so why not nvda needs to be installed anyway and I don't have an issue with that now.

Of course interceptors have their issues, taking from and shifting the display devices about, potentially being unstable but still, now everything runs with uia even intercepts while a lot of stuff with the comercial ones has their own drivers it does interface with things.

I know we have objectnav but I'd like a dolphin or jaws vertual curser and maybe some sort of scan mode to be toggled on and off.

I think that functionality should eventually be something we can probably do without rocking the boat, will have to rename those to something else but we could do it.

To my knowledge, nvda is one of the only programs which includes access to a synth like espeak directly as a low quality fast responce synth.

Its why I put up with espeak, as while it can be robotic and crappy its really fast and works in most situations.

One quarter of one second means that when reading e-mail, you lose one second every four e-mails read. That means that if you read twenty e-mails, you lose 5 seconds. You would have to read 120 e-mails to lose one minute and you could make up that time by setting your speech just a bit faster, hardly noticeable. And we don't kno if that time is actually being lost. By waiting for the screen-reader to start reading on its own, the responsiveness may be slower than if you issue a command to start reading. You may not be losing any time and when you get down to one quarter of a second, if indeed the time is being lost in the first place, you are talking about meaningless differences.

Jean,



If you are using a screen reader to do your job, the last thing you want is to have extra keystrokes just for reading Email.



There is this thing called efficiency, and JAWS has it more than NVDA at the moment for me.



When NVDA starts really addressing efficiency in terms of Outlook and stuff like that, then it’s worth looking at again.



For example, in NVDA, you can’t supress what columns are read in an Email, such as replied, attached, unread, etc, in JAWS you can. This means you can remove some you don’t want and make the listening experience much nicer. For example, I remove the Importance flag, because I don’t often get messages that say Importance High, but you can’t get rid of that with NVDA.



This is just another area where JAWS is much more efficient than NVDA. If you are just writing the odd Email at home and don’t use it for work, this is OK, but when the rubber hits the road, JAWS has several efficiencies built in, regarding verbosity and such, that NVDA doesn’t accomplish for me.



All the best


Steve

I'd use the one that is free and performs very well. There is such a thing as being fanatically demanding, expecting a screen-reader to do everything perfectly. I've seen others engage in this sort of fanaticism. Because screen-readers are what they are, and because Windows and Windows programs are what they are, there are times when you get better performance and eliminate annoyances by maing very minor adaptations to help your screen-reader do its job efficiently. I am not saying you are fanatical, I don't know your general approach. But I've seen people go through needless inconvenience and unsuccessful attempts to solve very minor behaviors like this instead of adapting a solution that may take a quarter second per message.



And here is an example of a problem both the other screen-reader, I assume you are referring to JAWS, and NVDA both have. If you do a search on a web page, you hear a lot of extraneous text. Read current line as soon as the screen-reader starts to speak eliminates this extra verbiage and may save half a second or a second or more, when hearing the results of a search.



With the e-mail program I use, Windows Live Mail, and as I recall, with Outlook Express in the old days, NVDA would read extraneous information when I returned to the message list after reading a message. It says things like inbox, Windows Live mail Outlook Express message list. I can eliminate all this by simply using read current line. How much time does one command take? a quarter of a second? It's automatic if you do it for not too long a time.

You can cause JAWS to read the message body and not read all that extraneous information by getting in the habit of issuing read to end after opening a message. You may have to experiment to see if you have to wait at all before issuing the command. If you get in the habit of doing this, it becomes automatic and you can do this very quickly.

Hi,

That's really nothing to do with the differences between JAWS and NVDA,
performing with the same programs.

NVDA is a lot more responsive using Outlook, but it is not very good at
reading the unread messages in the folder tree.

It also insists on reading the subject line again when you open a message,
though I believe you can kill this by making a profile and turning off
object descriptions.

JAWS is more intuitive, just turn off reading message headers in outlook
verbosity.

This is why I say that JAWS is much more intuitive, you have to dive into
some techie detail to figure out some of NVDA's settings. There is also no
search for settings in NVDA, I'd like to see this kind of thing, JAWS does
it so well.

Hi all,



With all this talk about 64-bit NVDA would be a lot better, I have to
say that NVDA, using CodeFactory's Eloquence add-on, is more
responsive for me now than JAWS.



Also, another piece of good news, my Windows settings in Control
Panel in Windows 10 is now accessible with NVDA, whereas for ages, it
wouldn't speak any of that window. I realise it was limited to a few
configurations, but it sure was annoying at the time. I also realise
that these problems are borne of problems with UIA, rather than
problems with NVDA.



In short, although I have, and will continue to, use JAWS for a while
yet,

I
think that NVDA is coming on in leaps and bounds.



But there are one or two very silly things about NVDA. For example,
it won't read how many messages are unread in a folder, when you
Control+Y in Outlook. This is seriously annoying to me and one
reason I couldn't use it full time. It is visually there, and JAWS
reads it, so in my view, by now, NVDA should read it too.



Also, flat review and object nav is not as intuitive as the JAWS cursor.
You can't just do a screen find, and click on it. We really need an
equivalent to Hotspot Clicker in NVDA as well.



I keep coming back to this, because I want NVDA to be the go-to
screen reader for everyone, but I think JAWS still has a little more
polish than NVDA.



Just one guy's opinion, don't shoot me.



All the best

Also, I would like to clarify, many of you talked about contracted Braille. Is that similar to learning short hand for the sighted people?

Once again, thank you all for your feedback and support.

Rui, are you meaning Tyler's add-on?

Those commands are from an addon, they are not native from NVDA.

Did the friend know about commands like, as I recall, NVDA shift page up
and NVDA shift page down? I read the included information in one of the
e-mail messages and I believe those are the commands for read to cursor
from the left and read from cursor to the right. If your friend tried
the command that cycles through different options, that would be more
cumbersome than the JAWS method.

Hi Tyler,

As I'm discovering NVDA and its famous add-ons, a friend tried yours for
me. According to what he explained to me, your add-on dos the job but
using it seems longer than reading the whole line, and coming back to
the cursor whenever it has been left.

I hoped I could have a way as simple as Jaws does: insert+7 reading the
beginning of the line until the cursor and insert+9 reading the end of
the line from the cursor. It could be nice if we had the same
possibility with the whole sentence, which I don't think Jaws offers.

Regards,

Robert

NVDA can't do what you want natively, but my addon can.
Here's the link again, this time with the readme. I haven't got it put
on the addons site yet because I didn't think it was all that useful,
but maybe it is. Let me know how it breaks and I'll try to fix it.

# Partial Lines

This addon has several operations dealing with lines:
* NVDA+shift+delete changes the up/down arrows to read from the start of
the line to the cursor, from the cursor to the end of the line, or the
entire line.
* NVDA+shift+page up reads from the start of the line to the cursor
* NVDA+shift+page down reads from the cursor to the end of the line.

i really hate narrator.
do you remember narrator of windows xp which i use?
narrator never supports my native language and even if i can use it, i
can use it for just english!
iven3 and nvda are the best for me and i always appreciate God and
pray that God grants me this grace to use it forever even if one day i
become completely sighted!
i always appreciate developers and sincerely pray for them.

You know that everything has a life span. I hope NVDA still has a lot
of years ahead of itself but maybe just maybe Narrator will become a
great screen reader and there will be no need for NVDA or Jaws or any
other screen reader.
Right now NVDA is my screen reader of choice with Jaws being my backup
that I very seldom use.
