It has a number of unique features not necessarily relevant to you but there are a couple that you might be interested in. One of them is that it has a text browser component. Now, I know that text browsers have been around for many years and I am guessing that many visually impaired people use them. However, my software offers the ability to not only extract just the text from many (but not all) web sites but also to filter it using enhanced regular expressions which can be predefined for each website accessed. Consequently, what appears on the display can be only links to other pages or just the text of a news article, or both, etc. but without other unwanted, superfluous text on the page making it a very nice platform, IMO, for your NVDA software. While playing with your software using Firefox, Edge, and Chrome I noticed issues with reading links. Using Firefox they were ignored while in Edge they were verbalized but then followed by the actual url value. Clearly a text browser that ignores links completely can solve that problem but obviously at a cost. My software can optionally hide all links so that all the user gets is the text. But that is not the optimal solution, of course, since the link information is usually important. The way my software is designed is to normally provide hyperlinks in the text which are delimited by control characters which are normally invisible to the reader. (These control characters are used by the software to determine the location of hyperlinks in the text.) When NVDA reads a link in my software it vocalizes the beginning and end control character for the link. In other words, link text is not only verbalized but the existence and boundaries of the link are also announced to the listener who can then optionallly click on it to open that page. However no long url is verbalized. BTW, my software can also present links as explicit urls if the reader or, in this case, listener, is interested. To summarize, my software was not intended for the visually impaired. It is actually designed primarily for power users who have a facility with regular expressions. However, blind users with access to knowledgeable sighted helpers could potentially benefit from using it in conjunction with your software. To be honest it has a very visual interface which might be confusing when using a screen reader. It might be possible to simplify the interface though for the visually impaired community. As I said earlier the software is currently being beta tested. It has been thoroughly tested in-house and works with very many web sites including many popular news, political, and technology sites. If you are at all interested in taking a look at it, or know someone else in your community who might, please respond and I will give you a link to the web page containing the currently existing tutorial documentation and the setup program.

Re: Accessible Lightweight PDF Viewers

I have encountered some recent pdf files that seem to have save as text either disabled or what you get afterwards is a bit like throwing a lot of words in the air and expecting them to make sentences afterwards. I imagine this is the untagged document problem again. Many of the documents my local council issues are like this and often also contain graphics and maps so trying to use the webbie tool also ends in tears.

Re: Reviewing the screen, help
Gene,
You could be correct, but I can speak from experience that if I really need to review the output of command prompt commands I always redirect to log files simply because it's so much easier to review these in a text editor and they are "non-volatile" while screen output is gone the moment you close the window. I would advise anyone, whether developing batch files, or doing commands live in command prompt, to use redirect and append commands, including the redirection of STDERR if needed, to a log file or log files. -- 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

Re: Reviewing the screen, help
Gene
All this doesn't teach people how to review the
screen and if you are going to use the Command prompt to any extent, you need to
know how. I hope those who know more about this will write more.
it appears to me that if you are in object
navigation mode, you can use the regular review commands, numpad 7, 8, 9, move
left by line, read current line and move right by line, to review what is on the
screen. 4, 5 and 6 are left one word, current word, right one word.
1, 2, 3, are the same but by character.
If you want to move to the top of the navigator
object, use shift 7. To move to the bottom, use shift 9. In the
command prompt, the entire screen is one single navigator object. So shift
7 moves you to the top of the screen and shift 9 moves you to the
bottom.
To move to the beginning of a line, use shift
1. To move to the end, use shift 3.
I believe these commands work when expected in the
DOS prompt but I've only tried them a very few times. But all these
methods of piping output to a file, while useful at times, are really often ways
to get around basic knowledge of NVDA, which is useful in many contexts, not
just this one.

Re: Reviewing the screen, help
In a Command Prompt window, if I hit CTRL+Home it takes me back to the beginning of the command prompt session and starts reading from the line that gives the Microsoft Version (which is the first line and keeps on going).
That being said, if you really want to review the output of a command where you've used the slash question mark switch, it's much easier to redirect the output to a text file so that you can open that in Notepad or the text editor of your choice to review at your leisure. For example, in a command prompt session, if you enter the following: DIR /? > %HOMEPATH%\Diroptions.txt the file Diroptions.txt will exist under C:\Users\{your user}. When you open command prompt, you're already sitting in your HOMEPATH folder. If you want you could also specify: DIR /? > .\Diroptions.txt and Diroptions.txt will be in the very folder you're sitting in when you run the DIR command (provided you're somewhere you have permission to write to). You technically don't even have to have the period and backslash before the text file name if you want it to be placed in the same folder where you're currently sitting. If you want to put the manual pages for more than one command into a single text file, use the redirect, >, operator for the first command output, but for all the other ones you want tacked on after that use the append, >>, operator instead. -- 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

If so, I would be inclined to tweak it a bit to make it more user friendly, if necessary, for use with NVDA. Please feel free to distribute it as is. It is currently freeware and will probably remain so although that is not set in stone.
If the software is not useful for your community that is fine but if you guys do see some value in using it please get back to me at tony.zackin@... with any suggestions for improving it, particularly for your needs.
Thanks for your attention.

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NVAccess ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: To: Cc: Bcc: Date: Subject: New beta version of RCFV plus new tutorials
The latest beta version of RCFV is 0.0.0.2192.4670 and can be downloaded from the shared folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Gu-J1WMsUnTIxVgufzdMuAio2GjsyeRn?usp=sharing
Before doing anything please read the download instructions below.
If you already have an older version of RCFV installed please uninstall it first. You can manually run “unins000.exe” in “Program Files\RCFV” or “Program Files (x86)\RCFV” or just uninstall via “Programs and Features” in the Control Panel.
In additon to the RCFV setup code there are some new tutorials which I urge you to read before playing with the program. More tutorials will be coming in the future.
Download instructions
I recommend that you download the setup file using either the Firefox or MS Edge browser. If you use Chrome you will get a warning because this is new software and you may have difficulty downloading it without changing the Chrome security settings. Please note that RCFV is now digitially signed. That, in and of itself, doesn’t make it secure, but it should assure you that the software is from my company, Takamomto, LLC and has not been tampered with by a third party. To reassure you I recommend that before running the setup program you submit it to an online virus scan at https://www.virustotal.com by either dragging and dropping or selecting the setup exe file from your download directory. Please notify me at the email address below if the virus scan is not “clean”.
Please note that since this is a “new” program many anti-virus programs, including MS Defender, may mark it as a suspicious application. Since you won’t be installing it unless it passed the online virus scan you should allow your system to install it. The way you override such a warning depends on the software involved but I trust that you can Google how to do this if you do not know. Windows built-in MS Defender will “protect” you from new and unrecognized applications with a pop-up as displayed below. Just select “More info” and then “Run anyway” on the subsequent screen and you should be good to go.
Any feedback about the program or tutorials would be appreciated at rcfvbeta@....
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Re: Firefox and Extensions' section

Hi I also had other issues with Firefox and found the answer to be in add-ons, themes. The original light default theme was having issues but the new light theme when i enabled it my issues disappeared. Adrian Pocock
