Touch cursor support
Hi all,
I'm really seeing the power of the Jaws touch cursor commands, and it makes me curious as to NVDA's capabilities. Does NVDA have such a thing, whether or not it have the same name as it does in Jaws? By touch cursor, I mean where it'll give users without a touch screen very similar functionality to those with a touch screen using the keyboard only. Thanks, Ben

Hi there.
I would like to get a list of what's changed since (NVDA) Version: next-13306,69e86e83 before downloading the latest next snapshot. Is there an easy way of doing this? Thanks.

Re: noticed reading issues

Hi, Since I upgraded to Win10, I am noticing some sluggishness in Windows explorer, Outlook 2013, and at times it is slow responding to keyboard commands in Word and Outlook. I have to issue the command twice to get a response. I appreciate the help and learning I am getting from the list. Thanks and blessings to all Pascal

Chris, And what I'm telling you is that the first version of the question does not read correctly, to my ears, in either NVDA or Window-Eyes and the second two read precisely the same way. Since double exclamation points and double question marks (and/or combinations thereof) are not uncommon I have no issue with a screen reader reading these without any extra string of punctuation. I agree that a terminal space before the question mark itself is syntactically incorrect and the words should be read followed by "question mark" announcing the punctuation. There is no case in written English that I know of where a question mark can "free float" and be syntactically correct. It is always firmly attached to the final word in a question construction. I worry a lot. . . I worry that no matter how cynical you become it's never enough to keep up. ~ Trudy, in Jane Wagner's "Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe"

I've seen double exclamation marks in written documents byt not double question marks. I also feel that a screen reader should tell you if there are double marks. I'd want to know that. Rosemarie

Re: Some issues with NVDA's reading
Gene
I don't usually see double question marks or double
exclamation points. And such are far more likely to be the result of
errors. Again, a screen-reader should not treat nonstandard syntax as
though it was standard syntax.

Re: Some issues with NVDA's reading
Chris Mullins
Have you altered the Punctuation/Symbols/pronunciation settings in the NVDA preferences menu to try and obtain your desired results?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Personally, I think the first sentence is syntactically correct and should speak with rising intonation at the end without announcing the question mark symbol and the other two sentences should announce the question mark symbols. I achieved this by by setting the sentence ending question to all and always and the question mark symbol to most and below symbol level. Cheers Chris

I just found some strange NVDA's reading issues that I think need to be fixed: I will write 3 same sentences but with diffrent punctuation.: Any questions? Any questions?? Any questions ? So, what's the difference? NVDA doesn't show these are the questions when the question mark is after space or when it is more than 1 question mark into the same sentence. I hope this will be fixed.
