Re: Golden Cursor question
Curtis Delzer
One thing I wish would work in NVDA as it does in both jfw and
window-eyes, is I use Becky! email client, and in order to click a link in a message I route jfw to pc or window-eyes "pointer routed to cursor" and double left click, (/numpad slash in both cases. Nvda has the command but it somehow does not tell my computer to run the URL highlighted. ----- Curtis Delzer, HS. WB6HEF San Bernardino, CA

Re: subject keeps repeating when I hit enter on a message in thunderbird
Gene
When I tested this years ago, JAWS did the same
thing. I haven't tested recently.
I see that opening messages in a new tab appears to solve
the problem and that's good. But the problem may happen in other e-mail
programs and I don't recall seeing any solution that works except the work
around of using read to end. That's what I do in Windows Live Mail and
what I used to do in Outlook Express.

Re: Getting stuck with Firefox and NVDA and frames
Gene
It would be so much simpler if people have system
restore on. They could run a recent restore point from when sound was
working and that would replace the possibly corrupted driver with a working copy
and replace a posssibly corrupted user profile with a good one, I don't know
what you are referring to when you discuss the Internet. But this subject
illustrates why I say it is almost negligence that Microsoft has System Restore
off in Windows 10 by default. I hope people with Windows 10 check the
status of their system restore and turn it on if its off. Actually,
everyone who doesn't definitely know would be well advised to check the status
of their System Restore since it may have been turned off by someone at some
point and you given no notice.
If you are making good and frequent image backups,
you may want to use those instead of system restore but it is still considerably
faster and more convenient to try system restore first.
Also, blind people should have a cheap USB sound
card in case their main one stops working for some reason so they don't lose
access to their computer, unless they use a Braille display.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Getting stuck with Firefox and NVDA and
frames Well, I have many fixes to loss of sound. 1. Install new drivers. Drivers could be corrupted or other things could be dammaged if there was an net interuption during a download. 2. if drivers are reloaded and no sound, you may have a corrupt user profile. Make another one, copy all your data documents, music, pictures, etc there, kill old user, reinstall dropbox and anything that is needing folders in that other user. Note most stuff should be able to restart and configure in your new user. Of course, the big issue is the net scenario and iff its not a virus, a failed chip or board or windows just needing a good reformat, then its probably the net in general. Turn off router and turn it on. Then reset your router as normal. Update your router to the latest firmware. Note, if on vdsl or higher and its an isp router, doing this yourself will void worenty and also your router, you will have to replace the router and the old one will be dammaged. Request an update to your router from the isp side. Update any wireless or other extenders and network devices that could do bad things. Ask for a line test, note again if on anything over adsl, your vdsl and higher dataline is quite a resilient beast but you can get a test anyway. In my case the issue with the network was the wireless card. Again update firmware and drivers to it and check that the card still exists. In my case windows couldn't handle the card because it litterally didn't exist both physically, since its company didn't exist anymore and the other thing to. On 23/02/2019 2:58 PM, Gene wrote:

I don't know but I heard about it yesterday on a BBC documentary about criminals using it to sell drugs and all sorts of other stuff. Indeed most networks papable of end to end encryption seem to have been embraced by the crooks for obvious reasons. One needs therefore to be careful.

Re: subject keeps repeating when I hit enter on a message in thunderbird

I don't know what you mean by starting to
navigate. Just issue the read to end command. the same when doing a
search in a browser using the screen-reader search. If you issue read
current line immediately when you hear speech after initiating a search, the
extraneous material will stop being read and the intended material will be
heard.
You have to help screen-readers along at times,
given the complex environments in which they work and their complexity and given
that they are working in a visually oriented interface.

Re: subject keeps repeating when I hit enter on a message in thunderbird
Gene
I doubt it. I've said before that using the
read to end command stops any unwanted reading of extraneous material, It
becomes automatic once done for a short time and takes almost no time per
message and it saves a lot of time when compared to just letting the unwanted
material read. I don't ever recall a solution that worked being
proposed.

Hi,

It certainly does work reasonably well. It isn't optimal e.g. I'm not sure how to send voice messages but it gets the job done and can send notifications in a browser. If you use an iPhone it can also send notifications to that, but the only way to respond is via the notification itself e.g. flicking down to reply. The main app is a joke.

Sorry; I know this probably isn't helpful, to hear that my thunderbird isn't repeatedly reading me the subject lines of emails, but I thought I'd let you know I'm not experiencing the same issue here.

Re: Ask about using iTunes with NVDA
hurrikennyandopo ...
Hi
A while ago a person on the list done a audio tutorial on using i tunes but not sure what parts he covered There are 2 of them to listen to the first is https://www.dropbox.com/s/xe0d586i3kf4avx/Using%20NVDA%20with%20iTunes%20Part1.mp3?dl=0 The second is https://www.dropbox.com/s/105vzeh2qtuc0m6/Using%20NVDA%20with%20iTunes%20Part2.mp3?dl=0 If i remember also right they are linked off the nvda tutorials for other programs page on my website called Accessibilitycentral.net I did come across a tutorial for using i tunes also but is jaws based but when i read it it sounds like nvda would follow the same steps.
Let me know if you want that one drop boxed also?
