I haven't created any surveys with qualtrix, but I've taken a lot of
them, and they are sketchy in the extreme.

I feel that even if you hacked one into being somehow, a lot of
assistive technology users would be barriered from completing it.
Qualtrix is simply a bad idea.

Survey monkey and google forms are both very accessible for creation
and distribution.  Formstack is another great tool.  If qualtrix
dowsn't want to comply, they can go bankrupt and the industry won't
miss them.

I need to conduct a survey as part of my masters project, and the things

Hi all,

To revive this thread, I can give a partial answer to the original question and need to ask one of my own.

If you go to the zotero desktop application and under preferences find citation then word processor and check the "use classic citation  checkbox, you will get a dialogue in word that is 99% accessible. 

The only thing that has not worked for me is citing multiple works in a single in text citation. In the classic citation dialogue there is an add button that NVDA does not see with any cursor and in the default dialogue I hear only a string of HTML code rather than "unknown." 

i have posted to the zotero forum and will let you know what i hear back. 

Does anyone else have experience here with zotero or any other free citation manager? 

It was a huge help to have this on my last paper and I'd like to see it work or have access to something equivalent for academic writing. 

Warmly,

Sally

It has nothing to do with NVDA. It is the Windows OS that is unstable and that affects NVDA each time it is updated. As a result, one day NVDA is working fine and the next it is sputtering to the point you have to restart NVDA so frequently that it becomes useless. I am seriously considering switching to a Mac.

Hi,
it's plain and simple: NVDA will be around as long as people care enough to contribute. Such premature requiems may actually convince some people not to contribute or donate as they feel they'd be riding a dead horse. In other words, these rumors are directly damaging NVDA's health and should be loudly and publicly debunked lest they become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Would anyone object to my retitling this topic?   As new people join and see the title it has a tendency to revive panic (or at least worry) where none is warranted.

If not, I'll do so, then send out an additional message with the revised topic title so that the conversation can continue, but without making anyone believe that NVDA even might be dying.

I'll ask that you all reply to me either with your "that's OK" or "don't do that" votes via the "Reply to Sender" link at the bottom of this message so that the topic itself doesn't end up being flooded with votes.   I'll take a look at the consensus later and proceed (or not) as indicated.

I got braille to work with windows narrator, but there is a problem.
In the settings under "choose a default driver for your braille display" there are three possible drivers listed, to wit:
libusb win32 freedom scientific focus 3, 1 of 3
narrator: libusb1.0 freedom scientific focus 3, 2 of 3
focus 3 braille display usb 3 of 3

If I choose the second driver narrator outputs braille, but nvda will not.
If I choose the third driver nvda outputs braille but narrator will not.
What's a poor widow to do? I need both screenreaders to do dots.

Can I somehow get narrator to use the second driver and nvda to use the third driver automatically?
Maybe using the old assoc command (I am comfortable using terminal commands)?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

But just for clarification, does that mean my change to the subject line
did not actually create a new thread? I'm using Thunderbird, so if that
did happen I'd like to know how I can start a new thread and prevent
this from happening again.

Er, it was not Mohammed who hijacked the thread.  He replied to the question
in the thread previously hijacked by Najaf, and also asked Najaf not to hijack
threads in future.  He also helpfully changed the subject line to reflect the
question asked in the hijack.

The next sentence is untrue.
The previous sentence is also not true.

                                                   Please reply to the list;
                                                         please *don't* CC me.

First, do you, Mohammed know what hijacking threads is? We don't know. It
is when you use an existing thread to introduce a new and unrelated
subject. Start a completely new thread. Don't change the subject line
and then begin a new thread using the old thread. Code remains which
makes e-mail programs see it as a continuation of the old thread under
some conditions. It also causes the new thread to appear as the old
thread in the list archives.

If you don't know how to start a completely new thread, ask here and say
what e-mail program you are using and people will be happy to tell you how
to do this. But, as has been said, don't continue to hijack threads.

Najaf, please stop highjacking threads. But to answer your question, NVDA
2019.1 apparently still has some issues that are holding it back, though a
beta should hopefully be out in the coming days.
