Hi

No

In my case i use thunder bird and open it in a new window as soon as it opens so it does not repeat the subject line i use the desktop command nvda key + down arrow key for it to start reading the email.  So it is not repeated. If i remember right the command for a lap top user is nvda key + a? I would have to check.

Hi, everyone,


I have thunderbird set to open messages in a new tab but when I hit enter on a message, the subject keeps repeating before the message is read out. Isthere a setting I might need to change in thunderbird?


Thanks in advance.

No. you'll just have to get used to it. This is part of the efficiency loss of being blind. I get it four times.
You can avoid it somewhat by starting to navigate as soon as it starts to read.

When I click on Dragon toolbar > Tools > Options, the options dialog appears but mouse clicks and voice commands are ignored everywhere. The pointer changes to an hourglass in the options dialog box. The only recourse is ctrl-alt-del and restart Windows. If I exit NVDA before calling up the Dragon options dialog, the UI does not hang.
I have latest releases of Win 10, Dragon Pro Individual and NVDA.
Has anybody Scene similar or do I have a personal problem?

Oh no! I hope they get the bug fixed. My windows 7 lost all sound. Otherwise I would have tested Firefox with fb I use it for my foodsafe online class. I was using the latest NVDA build. Windows 7 and the latest build of Firefox. I never had that problem.

Hi. I’m using the current Insider Build of W 10 and NVDA 2018.4.1 with FF 65.1. I’m having a problem with websites getting stuck in a frame. I.E. the Facebook mobile site. I don’t know if it’s a bug in FF 65.1 or not. Didn’t have this with V 65. Here is an example. If someone replies to a comment or whatever I hit enter on that link. When I hit H to get the heading and arrow down it seems to get stuck in a frame on the page and I can’t get out of it unless I reload the FB mobile site. I’ve noticed this on other sites too. This doesn’t happen in JAWS 2019.

IE, and other accessible applications, like an accessible podcast
client, that's free! and an accessible RSS feed reader. I hope you all

Neat programme though. It was worth the money because it does open these files really quickly.

the only thing I don't like about the update is that it kind of broke the ability to read with anything other than your actual screen reader because every time I hit control+s to enable speech from QRead's own ability to enable that feature, it starts at the beginning of the book or document that it's reading from, no matter where the cursor used to be in the document. However, to make this on topic, if you read with just NVDA and whatever voice or synthesizer you choose to use and use your say-all command, it works beautifully! I can't use my Ivona Kendra voice, though, because of the issue I described above. I have an earlier portable version of QRead for times when I want to use Kendra, though.

Ok, go somewhere else in the document. Like, go to the middle or somewhere, or do a search and put your cursor elsewhere. then try Elsa again. She will start reading at the very beginning instead of where you left off. At least that's what Ivona Kendra is doing, and it's doing it with others too who are using other TTS voices. I can read with just the screen reader, though, and that's not a problem. I do have Ivona Kendra on Voice Dream on the phone too so I can use that.

It works fine here. Ctrl+s toggles between tts. Or rather, it switches from the system tts to Microsoft Elsa, wich is the Italian voice. I have only that one tts active right now. But no issues here.

I haven't tried to change tts, so I hadn't noticed this issue.


I suppose we could contact Christopher and ask him to fix it, unless it's been done on purpose...


I'll test this right now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Oh, no. As I never read with anything except NVDA, I would have missed that bug completely.
