Selecting sentences with NVDA

Akshaya Choudhary
 

Is there a way to select sentences while navigating sentence by sentence with the sentence nav add-on?
While I'm reading and reviewing complex documents I need to navigate sentence by sentence to properly understand it. Sometimes for revisions I'm also required to select particular sentences. Right now, I use the typical command of shift+ctrl+right arrow or shift+down arrow to do so. Is there a more effficient way out there?

All inputs are welcome

Re: Microsoft Chromium version of the Edge browser beta download

Joseph Lee
 

Hi,

It is a late alpha version. Essentially, Edge follows Chromium’s release model with some differences:

  • Canary: equivalent to NVDA’s alpha snapshots, released daily.
  • Dev: mostly late alpha – the most stable canary build for a given week, released weekly.
  • Beta: a snapshot of dev branch released every six weeks.
  • Release: some more refined beta version.

 

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi Joseph

Plus to let others know sound wise the layout etc.

 

I did not go into the help section but would this be a alfa version? i was expecting it to be more broken but was surprised when i navigated around it etc.

Hi

 

if any one is interested later on today i can do a audio recording of nvda been used on it and to show nvda so far seems to be working nicely with it. Plus also link to it for others to try it out if they missed the first link.

 

It will give some a idea of what it looks like etc planning to do some updates tonight to the website so can include or link to the recording in the email.

Apart from the word dev in the title bar and using the chrome menu setup for the menus it handles the web pages nicely it seems as though you can use all of the quick navigation keys in nvda. A bit more playing around and going into the settings etc but you would think you are driving chrome browser.

 

See if i can find any qwerks in it.

Re: Blind people typing Chinese

Michael Munn
 

I kind of agree with you sir. I'm a Chinese Immigrant and I studied at the Beijing School for the Blind for 3 years and In BSB Students are required to learn braille. During Computer classes,I was taught  how to use a Screen reader called Sunshine. I was also taught to use Sogou. Another advantage about Sougou is that a person can custemmize it's dictionary that make's life much easier for those people who are doing a job as a court reporter. 
Braille display is an expensive tool in China that a blind person by itself can't afford. Only the School for the Blind and the Beijing Talking book Library or the  Braille and Talking book Library of China have them. Thanks

Re: Blind people typing Chinese

Brian K. Lingard
 

Dear Clement Chou & List:
Thank you for the information on writing Chinese characters on a keyboard.

Have been told Japanese has Hierkana for writing Japanese words and Katakana for spelling foreign words letter-by-letter. Have been told Japanese Braille uses only the Katakana symbols.

Interesting Braille is not widely used in China.

Input methods based on pinyin or zhuyin is not very popular at that
time since you need to spend many time on finding the correct
character you want to type. Also users at that time mostly rely on
word processing jobs, accuracy and efficiency is important.
A man called Wang JiangMin invented WuBi. With that you can type in
most Chinese character within four letters, as long as you memorize a
set of rules and practice for about a week.
At about 2006, people brought smart prediction into pinyin input
methods. The experience of pinyin input methods are much better now.
Since most people in mainland China have already learned pinyin in
primary school. Other types of input methods which requires additional
rules practice start fading away. Few people learn other input methods.
WuBi and other input methods are now learned by professionals and
enthusiasts. Sougou is the most popular one of these pinyin input
methods. But smart prediction is based on collecting your keyboard
input data, so there is a privacy issue. Sougou pinyin also pop up
advertisement sometimes. So I do not recommend using this. Input
methods bundled with operation system is just enough.

Support for Microsoft pinyin and WuBi is broken in windows 10 and 8.1
so you may find it hard to use.

As for braille.
There are three types of braille in mainland China. Two of them are in
NVDA, another one has just been published about a year ago and has not
gain popularity yet. However all of them are based on pinyin. They
cannot represent the shape of Chinese characters. Most schools for
blind in mainland China do not teach how to write Chinese characters.
So even if you use braille input, you still have to choose between
many candidates. Someone created a braille based on Chinese
characters, but it is not widely used. Braille display is more
expensive than smart phones and computers and its usage is very
limited. Braille has advantage in proof reading and l earning but the
nature of Chinese braille make braille less appealing for students.
Word segmentation and tone mark makes braille even harder to
understand. Even braille itself is not popular among blind people in China.

My guess is that there is some sort of corruption in your Windows 10 installation.   You can try the following to see if it fixes the issue and allows you to succeed in installing NVDA.  Even if it doesn't, make note of any error messages (or take screen shots) so that you'll have same when you talk to Microsoft.

Re: I Can't get the latest version of NVDA to install

Brian Vogel
 

My guess is that there is some sort of corruption in your Windows 10 installation.   You can try the following to see if it fixes the issue and allows you to succeed in installing NVDA.  Even if it doesn't, make note of any error messages (or take screen shots) so that you'll have same when you talk to Microsoft.

Using SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) to Repair Windows 8 & 10

Hi,

I tried both of these. Narrator with or without admin privileges is still not working. I have tried absolutely all suggestions from list members. I'm sure getting curious as to what is going on!

Thank you,

Hi,
the music is expected, and is the NVDA audio logo. I'm quite sure that
this is not an anti-malware problem, as the fact it's playing music
clearly indicates it's executing.
Have you tried using Narrator to grab any and all messages it might
display when it fails?
Have you tried running it with admin privileges? Do not do that if at
all unsure about whether or not it's the correct file.
Best,
Felix

Hi Brian and all,

I have tried all of everyone's suggestions with no luck. I did not get a chance to contact Microsoft's Disability Desk today but I will do that tomorrow.

So many list members pitched in to offer very very, good advice. I will let everyone know the solution if I come up with one.

Again, , many thanks,

James B

If you want it to download with no prompt from the dropbox link given.
Cut and paste the link into notepad, change the0 at the end to a 1 and then
cut it from there and paste it directly into the address bar of the browser.
I'd also suggest that if you have other browsers on the machine you try it
with a different one as it could be that the browser has become faulty
somehow. it is always a good thing to have more then one browser.

Hi


For the latest version you can grab it from my drop box account at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cg23n7knez2pzyx/nvda_2019.1.exe?dl=0

It sounds if it is only 1 meg or so it is still downloading and the full
version is about 22 meg.


You can check on your downloads by pressing the CTRL key + letter J to bring
up the downloader in your browser.


Could i ask also what version of Windows are you running as if it is XP or
vista you can only go up to nvda 2017.3 but 7 and up you can grab the
latest.

I do not get past the music. No dialog at all. I did try alt+y just in

I have tried to save this and run it. I have tried to just run it. Same
results.

Maybe their server has been down for over one day.

The only thing that I have recently changed on my end is just that I
upgraded to Jaws 2019 on both computers. Of course, I tried J17 just in
case. No dice.

Hi



is this the first time you have ever installed NVDA or have you had a
earlier version.



the file that wouldive come down would be named nvda 2019.1.exe and when you
click on it or try to get it to load it will make a musical sound then come
up with a documentation screen. YOu will need to agree to it by pressing the
space bar then tab to the first option which will be install to your
computer then press the enter key. If it seems to be getting stuck
installing it it might be that the UAC screen has come up and nvda can not
see it if this is the case use the ALT key + letter Y to say yes to it and
it should keep on installing then say it has been installed with a ok
button.



Or is it just not going any further after you hear the sound?

Hi all,

I went to:

and downloaded a very small file that looks like it is suppose to install
NVDA. When I open it, I get a few seconds of music and then nothing.

I have tried with both Chrome and IE for over 24 hours now. So, maybe
someone can tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hey guys, Molly here again.

I am trying to edit a powerpoint presentation I’m working on with some of my classmates. So far we have two slides. When I press control plus N to create slide three. NVDA says slide one. I started editing the slide. But when I saved it, it appears to have gotten saved as a separate powerpoint from the one we were working on. Basically, my new slides do not show up in the powerpoint we’re working on. Howdo I edit the powerpoint we already started without creating a new presentation?

I hope this makes sense.
