NVDA and sounds
Chris Shook
Queck question.
JAWS had a way to link sounds with words using the Dictionary manager. Is there an addon for NVDA that can do the same thing?

Wow how interesting. I do have a tutorial where someone was demonstrating how to use the amazon site with the Hal screen reader as well as Jaws and Window-eyes.

Just for info even though non-NVDA related…Dolphin were founded in the mid-80’s to further the development of the HAL screenreader primarily – the forerunner of Supernova. HAL was very popular in those early days when there were very few packages around but it started to lose influence once the likes of Vocal-Eyes and JAWS for DOS gained market share. When Supernova eventually came along, although it was very good at what it did with certain software, it did not have the flexibility of other packages.

Hi, Brad,
For years now I thought Dolphin was a screen reader. Thanks for the correction.

Dolphin is not a screen reader, rather it is a company in the U.K. that markets several access technology software products. Their primary product is the SuperNova Access Suite, which includes a screen reader and screen magnification product. Dolphin is pretty big in Europe, but not so widely used in the United States, though they have been around for a while.

Re: ie unsafe dolphin users

Yes, it is more common in Europe but it has always been quite low on the list of preferred screenreaders since its creation 30-odd years ago!

Hi
Here is a link to a powerpoint that I have just been working on (which is promoting NVDA). It is still a work in progress, and the information is courtesy of the main join the revolution section from the NVDA website. It is from nvaccess ABOUT section.
It is not automated at the moment, and it is only a rough draft. Not sure whether to do one with visuals and no sound; and I can add animations and timings etc. When I am finished with it, I can add it to the powerpoint info I put across the list earlier.

It's been a while since I've read OCR text. Things might sound a little run together, but it is legible.

Re: NVDA and outlook, discussion about columns in message list
Tony,
In regard to your biggest complaint, I may have an answer, or something that can help. Outlook 2016, in default mode, has a 2-step expand for a conversation when it's collapsed, and it's meant to be a convenience but I can see how it might not be. If you're on a collapsed conversation and right arrow once to expand it, the first level expansion will only show messages in the conversation that originated from a sender or senders other than you. Your own responses are not included in level one expansion. If you hit right arrow twice, the conversation is fully expanded with your own responses (which are actually in the Sent folder) shown embedded in their correct place(s) in the conversation. In level two (full) expansion up and down arrows behave as you think they should. You may also find that tweaking the Conversation Settings may get you the results you wish, but I'm not sure what combination would suit you best. That's for you to play with. To change conversation view:
A Show senders above the subject Default: ON X Always expand selected conversation Default OFF Note well - it's a selected conversation, not one you happen to be arrowing up or down over I Use classic indented view -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back
