Hi
If you are using the desk top version of skype 8 you can use the alt key + letter F key to bring up a menu arrow down to either sign out or quit.
When i last checked a few weeks back nvda could not read the skype menu down in the notification area. I am not sure if some one has made a ticket for this yet?

Re: Reading subtitles in Netflix with NVDA

HI.

I read the subtitles on a braille display. It isn't automatic so it means I have to really concentrate on followign the dialogue with my ears as well as my fingers even if I can't understand the language. It works ok most of the time, except in some films with so much dialogue that it's hard to keep up. Granted it's a bit of work and after my former wife and I split up I haven't been watching as many non-english movies. Well, I watch a lot of Spanish and Italian horror and exploitation movies and those often have english dubs.

I feel they infringe on my imagination... lol But I others aer not like me, so I think subtitles should be reacheable and readable also for the visually impaired and blind...

NVDA in my opinion is a best screenreader not only it is free and very well developed but also has a massive community that is really helpful. I forced my friends moved to NVDA and they don't want to look back at the times that they used jaws screenreader. I agree Microsoft narrator improved quite a bit, I just don't understand why narrator doesn't have the same shortcuts like NVDA does.

Hi, Curt,
For the add-on to work, you have to close thunderbird and then restart it.

I'd think if you highlight the file, open the context menu and select the "open with" option, you'd see a "Thunderbird" choice to select and it'd do the trick. Try it and let me know if it works for you :) Em 05/03/2019 07:32, Curtis Delzer

From: Jaffar Sidek Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2019 7:31 PM To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: [nvda] NVDA the miracle of modern assistive technology Hi all. In 2006, when Michael Currant conceived the idea of developing an open source screen reader to neutralize the high cost of commercial screen readers, and when he and James Teh founded NVAccess, The feeling going around was that sooner or later, this upstart in the screen reader industry would shortly be gobbled up by the more recognized players. Well, Window eyes has gone down the proverbial plug hole. SaraTech and Dolphin has gone almost quiet, and the two left standing proud and tall in the boxing ring is JFW and NVDA. These are the facts, not mere conjecture, and the facts are clear enough to see. Why am I writing this? Financial reward is a big factor in motivating a company to work towards improving a product. However, the demand for immediate rewards can also lead to a product being rushed out in the hope that it will satisfy the needs of the customers as well as filling up the company's coffers. But hope is one thing, delivery is another vital factor. I do not have to revise the recent debacle experienced by the end users of Windows 1809. Jaws is now into it's 2019 version. Yet their new driver is not as stable as it should be and there are complains about it from users and Jaws scripters alike. And what about NVDA? O yes! NVDA does have it's quirks, No software can avoid that. But there is an almost daily alpha version released that tries to fix reported issues. Then we must not leave out a dedicated community of users who do their very best to help in the form of advise and tutorials, some even dedicating part of their website to put up materials for reference for those who need them. And then there are those from the community who help with NVDA's development, Translators who help translate NVDA itself and it's numerous addons into the many languages, and the addon developers who develop addons that make NVDA more than just a mere screen reader, All these done in their own spare time and without the apparent rewards in dollars. Which reminds me, Is there a clock addon for JFW? Which brings me back to motivation. I did earlier allude to the fact that monetary reward is a big incentive. But you know, humanity can be a bigger incentive than finance. For most blind people, and especially for those living in the poorer countries, just getting a working computer makes a dent in their pockets. Add the cost of a screen reader and the dent could be astronomical. NVDA has provided us from rich and poor regions of the world with another alternative, and that in itself is a modern miracle. And, most important, NVDA, as I said earlier is not just a mere screen reader. It goes way beyond basic screen reading tasks like browsing the web or checking emails or formatting documents. It works seemlessly with programming IDES like visual Studio, and Android Studio, just to name a few, and then musicians use it in association with DAWS like Reaper to make music as a hobby or as a profession, and broadcasters benefit from addons developed for Station playlist studio. I use both Jaws and NVDA, and I had to pay almost 2000 Singapore dollars to get my new version of Jaws. And after all that, I had to pay for some scripts by independent Jaws Scripters to make jaws work with some applications. NVDA is open source and free, it's addons are free, and therein lies the difference. How then can a thread about NVDA dying be ever posted is way beyond my understanding. Negative posts like this are rather disturbing because it could put a huge dent into the efforts of all concerned with NVDA's development. And one must not forget the extraneous update routines put out by Microsoft which not only affects NVDA but JFW as well. Pardon this long and rambling email, but I felt that I had to pen my thoughts onto paper, as it were, just to remind ourselves that we do owe these people dedicated to ever improving NVDA a huge debt, and to remind us all that as long as this great effort continues, NVDA will be far from dying a slow death or disappearing into the ether. To me, NVDA is, and always will be a modern miracle. Cheers!

Tab to the list of folders. If you want to create a folder at the same level as Inbox, Sent etc then arrow up or down to the name of your e-mail account then right clik and find new folder. If you want to create a subfolder for example in the Inbox then right clik at Inbox and find new subfolder.

If it is, and if there is an Extended Context Menu in addition to the Standard Context Menu, then the applications/menu key will bring up the former while SHIFT+F10 will bring up the latter. If there is but a single Standard Context Menu both keys will bring that up. If there is an Extended and Standard Context Menu, but the machine does not have an applications/menu key, then SHIFT+F10 defaults to the Extended Context Menu, as there is no other way to get to it. A true right click, in my experience, brings up the Extended Context Menu if such exists, which is why I recommend that laptop users not disable their mousepads, but instead cover the part that would cause the mouse to move. There are significant advantages to having direct access to a true left click and right click rather than emulated ones. -- 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

Hello, I wil play with it again today but thought I tried that and found no buttons. It may be that I am not successfully focusing the 2nd citation. To others asking about the application, it is useful in academic writing and given the number of students I have seen post to this list I can imagine a guide would be helpful. It would also be nice for those not on the list who get no help from their own colleges and universities but run a search or use NVDA and look for NVDA tutorials related to being a student. Warmly, Sally

Re: OT Mozila Thunderbird
Gene
Here is a discussion of information pertaining to
the current discussion. it presents some important information many people
don't know or don't know in an organized, detailed manner.
F10 by itself duplicates what the alt command does
in terms of moving focus to the menu bar. Shift f10 does the rough
equivalent of a right click and opens a context menu if there is one to open
where you are. The menu that opens doesn't always have all the commands
that using the context menu key does, which is to the left of the right control
on standard desktop keyboards.
Shift context menu key may open a context menu
with more items than just pressing the context menu key.
It is important to know how to do the equivalent of right
click from the keyboard. At times, you find commands you don't find
elsewhere and often, commands are conveniently placed in one menu that are more
scattered in the full menus. Also, in ribbon programs, the context menu
may offer a faster and more convenient way to get to some commands than using
the ribbon. Gene

I've enabled the, allow opening in draft views setting, but it does not work. I may have to create a Macro for the normal template that will switch it upon opening it. What sucks is I also found a really great view for dyslexic people, and would be great if Microsoft could let users choose the view they want. Oh well. Could a keyboard only Macro on the normal template work? I'm about to completely switch computers soon to a brand new ACER, so is there a way to back that Macro up in dropbox?

I don't see a shortcut keystroke, but the operation is fairly simple. Highlight the tree view of folders and right click and under the context menu there is a new item. Click this and you will be prompted for a name and then tab to OK and press enter.
