Re: Why Windows OneCore voices Over eSpeak NG
Monte Single
Good response. I know some blind people listen at rates of speech over three hundred words per minute. Personally I find 175 to be pretty good for me. Are the 1 core voices available for win 10 only or can they be used with win 7.? Thanks, Monte

Getting current column in word when you're in 2 column format?
Hello, Some technical papers need to be written in a 2 column format and I'm having a hard time figuring out what column I'm on both because NVDA likes to jump around columns and because I need to know how to format my paper based off the template. Is there any way to tell what column I'm in? To format a document with 2 columns, go to format, columns, and choose 2. You need to have text selected first though I believe. Thanks,

I have not moved to win 10 yet. Why do some people say the one core voices are slow? Can the speech rate be increased?

Auto-Numbered Outlines
Ralph Boersema
Friends,
I find that often NVDA does not read the numbers or bullets that were produced automatically in MS Office documents or e-mails. Is there an NVDA preference I need to select to read the numbers of an outline that was automatically produced in Office? Warmly, Ralph

You should be able to do this via email commands. Most of the groups send out an email help with these in, then you can read each message one at a time. I find that any time saved by digest mode is lost trying to reply to them, so use individual messages.

Re: Request: require assistance make NVDA read the status bar in file explorer of windows ten
Can you not use object nav and get there then interact with the status line and read it that way? It's slower but it should work just as well.

If you’ve responded to any of my posts recently and are waiting for an answer from me, please be patient.

Re: Why Windows OneCore voices Over eSpeak NG
Mohamed
This was done because many users find ESpeak to be very robotic
sounding, which negatively affected people's first impression of
NVDA. You'd need to copy your settings over if you want to use
ESpeak NG. Alternatively, you could edit nvda.ini by hand, but
that's a very involved process.

I don’t know when this was done, but NVDA is now defaulting to the Windows OneCore voices rather than eSpeak NG when it is first installed on Windows 10. It also does this on secure screens.
This is really annoying to me as I find the Windows OneCore voices extremely annoying in that they are incredibly slow and laggy. Is it possible to force NVDA to default back to eSpeak NG without copying my entire NVDA configuration over?

Re: Changing cell coordinate reading order in Excel

We can’t change that currently, but there are issues open to be able to do so in a future release.

I’d like to change the way NVDA reads information about a cell when moving through a spreadsheet in Excel.
Now NVDA reads the information within the cell, then the coordinates, then the column/row header info.
I’d like to have it read column/row headers before cell coordinates. I tried turning off cell coordinates and that messed up the reading of column headers. They no longer were read if cell coordinates were turned off.
I need to play with this a bit more as I changed a couple other things as well and now need to narrow this down but should tables be set to on or off? I currently have them set for on with Excel and off with everything else.

Re: Changing cell coordinate reading order in Excel
Jenine Stanley <jenine@...>
OK, answered my own issue here. After changing a document setting, not only do you need to remember to hit Apply before OK but also tab away from the app and come back to see the changes.
Turning off cell coordinates but keeping tables on worked and now I have a lovely, easy to read spreadsheet.

Braille Me add-on not working
Jenine Stanley <jenine@...>
I’ve been having difficulty with this since the last firmware update of the Braille Me, add-on not working and display not being recognized by NVDA.
I’m sure this is a Braille Me issue and not and NVDA one but just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if so, how did you resolve it?
I’m considering going back to factory reset and trying a reinstall of the firmware for the Braille Me. When it worked, it was beyond awesome with NVDA.
