Looks like it's a fault in the audio themes addon. Are you running
that, Sarah? If so, could you please try disabling it to see if the
problem continues?

Hello,

I have noticed that espeak reads some symbols of the international phonetic alphabet; however, this can not be done by other synthetic voices, so my question is this:

How to make that nvda reads correctly those symbols regardless of the synthetizer?

Or, how to make that other synthetizers read those symbols?For instance, vocalizer.

I got the Unicode transcription for all the symbols that I want.

The syntaxis is this:

U+00E6=Ash

Where the term “ash” is the proper name for that particular symbol.

So, is there a file inside the installation folder of nvda or user settings where I can paste that syntaxis to have nvda reading all those symbols?

Thanks for any info.

I have been experiencing the same bug with Dropbox since last week. I have a friend who works at Dropbox and I asked her to report it - she reported it directly to the right team - the one working on UI of Windows desktop client. Hopefully they'll fix it sooner now.

Hi all,

I'm running Dropbox v68.3.92.  Approximately every half an hour or so, NVDA's focus is being moved to a Dropbox window which only seems to contain a single, blank edit field.  The window doesn't seem to stay on the screen, but focus isn't returned to where it was previously after it disappears.  In fact, NVDA reports it as taking up a rectangle of 0 pixels, so I don't know if anything shows up visually on the screen at all.

As you can imagine, having to dismiss these boxes several times per day is irritating.  Does anybody have a work-around?

Well to be honest what we really need to remember is why we got jaws, before
freedom scientiffic became the real bad boy it is now, and other readers.
Back in the dos days there was no accessibility at all.
Nothing much came from microsoft's end.
This continued through to windows 95.
In windows 98, microsoft started the active accessibility libraries which
improved things but not that much.
In 2003 or there abouts with help from gwmicro the direct chain manager was
done so you could handle readers in a multiple chained process, before that
you made your own chains but they were unstable.
Basically the first screen reader was your video card, which was part of the
next reader up till the end, the last screen reader was your video card.
Start one out of sync, run 2 at once, remove and or uninstall things in an
unordered fashion and you broke the chain.
There were 2 ways to fix this.
1.  remove the chain, reinstall the video drivers and make another one.
Or just reformat.
Which I did a lot of.
You needed technical experience to make the reg files for  the chain and
while I got dolphin support to construct one, it was as fragile as a glass
window, and not that good.
The dcm became mirror drivers in vista and 7 and then in windows 8 microsoft
started the universal access librarys we all love and loath.
The reason jaws and others existed was simply because microsoft didn't come
to the party till late.
Even when xp to 7 came up, microsoft never really put much into narator.
It was just after the laws came in going against those that didn't make
stuff accessible.
It probably also helped that after the death of outspoken and all the new
laws, apple not only showed that it could make an accessible reader but
showed off that it could make something better than waht was about at the
time.
Voiceover has its limits of course but it is in all the programs and devices
now.
Google, same with talkback but there were others at first in droid.
So eventually microsoft had to move.
The reason we are seeing the reader industry shrinking now is possibly
because microsoft is pulling its weight and attempting to catch up to all
the rest.
Now narator is nothing against nvda but its close.
Narator is not jaws.
But its big enough as a bold new kid on the block, not fully grown mind you
that it is shifting mountains if only smaller ones.
Time will tell with businesses if this means the death of jaws or other
readers, sadly dolphin seem to be in no hurry to improve at any speed so
sadly they may die.
I have used their stuff for ages now but still.
Of course the fact we are using a more or less web based interface both
inside  of our oses now and online on websites and web based programs does
help.
There was a time where anything went and while there are a few bad acters
about its not as bad a landscape as it was 5 years back.
There is one end of the road in the screen readers though.
And this isn't actually jaws, either we have reached the inovation curve and
thats not likely because nvda is still inovating things.
Its almost like the comercial guys can't be bothered either that or ms is
moving to fast with their current model.
Or maybe we can accept that most of them have just about done everything
they set out to do and who knows.
As an os, while I really like win10's ease of use, search, and a few other
apps, and shortcuts, the only reason I wouldn't go back to 7 is simply
because 10 in some ways needs less shortcuts to get things done and less key
presses.
On the flipside without my hacking tweaking tools win10 would be quite
hellish.
On the systems I admin which are not mine there are issues, and I hate
ribbons.
Most everything else I can get used to.

Since I started using this prompt it kept the very same way. When it was different? Surely I'd rather the old way then :)

Thank you Marcio.  It sure does work; Although it's quite a lot of stuff to do when it used to be so easy.

Hi,
I also couldn't figure out a way of reading the information presented on the screen.
As a workaround, if you want, you could try what follows:
1. Being on the prompt, press "ALT+Spacebar"
2. Up/down arrow until you find "edit" and press enter
3. Up/down arrow until you find "select all" and press enter.
You've just selected all the content which is on the screen at this point.
4. Press "ALT+Spacebar" again
5. Up/down arrow until "edit"
6. Up/down arrow until "copy".
You've just copied what you selected. Now all that content is on your clipboard.
7. Open Notepad and paste the content there so you can read.

Hi all,


Using NVDA in Windows 10:


When I "run" the cmd command I get the system command prompt. Then I type in a command such as DIR or shutdown followed by slash question mark.  I get a screen full of command line switch options but I can't figure out how to get NVDA to read them to me. Probably one of the review modes, but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help, please?


Thanks.

Howard

Subject: Re: [nvda] 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.
