Re: brousers that speak the progress bars when downloading

Kenny Dog <hurrikennyandopo@...>
 

Hi


If the download manager is used I think it is in internet explorer, mozilla fire fox google play and maybe more when you start downloading the files you can use the CTRL key + the letter J to bring up your downloads. You might have to tab around or in some cases where the files are up up and down to see what each file is up to. So i do not hear them all at times I will just turn off the progress bars thingy in NVDA with the nvda key + the letter U.

The download manager can usually be found under the tools section in the browsers.




hope this helps.

Re: Outlook 2016 and NVDA

Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
 

No,

I wanted the count of unread messages in the folder and his answer works perfectly.

Yes, sometimes that is also in the status line, but shift tabbing to the folder name reads the number of unread messages.  Then, as you arrow up or down through the folder list it will read the number of unread messages in each folder.

 

Thanks for the status line command, that will come in handy for some other applications.

Re: brousers that speak the progress bars when downloading

Gene
 

I don't know which browsers NVDA speaks the progress bars of for downloads.  But in my opinion, overreliance on progress bars is often the result of not being properly familiar with the program being used.  I'm not saying that to criticize you or anyone else.  I am stating a general conclusion that I believe is valid. In firefox, for example, during a download, issuing the command control j opens a library window where a list of previous downloads is displayed.  The first one in the list is the current download.  using the read current line command, numpad 8 in the desktop layout will give you information such as the speed of the download, the percent downloaded the estimated time to completion, and perhaps other information I don't now recall.  Leave that Window opened.  Then return to it and check from time to time if you want to see current information.  Others may be able to tell you how to see the progress bar in various browsers.
 
But my point is that there is often other ways to get information.  Also, there may be an add on in Firefox that will notify you when a download completes.  Others will have to discuss that.

In Outlook 2016, NVDA reads if a message is unread.   It does not say it it is replied to, forwarded, or read.

Anyway to at least get replied and forwarded announced?

FW: Notes on NVDA and PowerPoint

Cearbhall O'Meadhra
 

Hi,

 

I have been working all day on this topic and have put together the following notes about using PowerPoint with NVDA. Please let me know what you think of these notes. Have you any improvements to suggest?

 

I have used PowerPoint 2010 on Windows 10 using NVDA 2016.2 on my Desktop Pc.

 

Notes on the use of PowerPoint with NVDA

 

1. File opens in slide view

2. Page Down moves from slide to slide showing the title pane

 

For the first slide:

3. Press tab to move to the title placeholder. NVDA reads the title of the slide;

4. Press tab again to move to the subtitle placeholder. NVDA reads the subtitle;

5. Press tab again to move to the embedded graphic. NVDA  says "Graphic" if no alt text;

6. Press tab again to move to rectangle shape.

7. Press tab again to return to the title placeholder at the top of the slide

 

Press page down For the second slide:

8. Press tab to move to the title placeholder

9. Press tab to go to the text placeholder. NVDA reads all the text in the placeholder

10. Press numpad 9 and numbpad 7 to read the text in the placeholder line by line

11. Press tab to move to the graphic image. NVDA reports the location of the graphic in the computer when the alt text has not been filled in.

 

Press page down for the third slide

12. Press tab for the Title placeholder

13. Press tab for the object placeholder. NVDA reads all the text as in the text placeholder at 9 above

 

 

Press pagedown for slide 4;

Same as slide 3.

 

Press page down for slide 5

15. Press tab for footer placeholder. NVDA reads all text in the footer;

16. Press tab for slide number placeholder. NVDA reads out the number of the slide;

17. Press tab for title placeholder

18. Press tab for text placeholder.

19. Press tab to return to the footer placeholder.

 

control+home jumps to the first slide

control+end jumps to the last slide.

 

The Slide Show

 

Press F5 to start the slide show

NVDA reads the whole slide from top to bottom including the title and leaves the cursor at the bottom of the slide.

1. Press page down and page up to move from slide to slide. Note that it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds between key presses to allow the slide show to catch up;

2. Press numpad 9 and numpad 7 to read the contents of the slide line by line.

3. Press return or space bar to move to the next slide. Sometimes nothing happens and then do the instruction at 4 below.

4. Type the  number  of a slide followed by return to jump to that slide.

5. Press control-shift-s to switch back and forth between the slide and its accompanying notes.

6. Use F6 to move between the status bar pane, slide view pane, thumbnails pane and notes pane. Use the arrow keys to move through the options available in each of these panes. Use F6 to move to the chosen view to see the results.

7. Use the escape key to exit the slide show.

It would be much more intuitive if each level of indentation was shown
as a non-blank cell. Such cells are quicker and easier to count.

PLease have look at flat review and object navigation in NVDA user guide :)
Third option is speak text under mouse pointer, where you can move mouse around to explore screen content.

I complained once to pizza hut and they promptly put a link on their site for visually impaired users to use their mobile site for ordering but last time I tried ordering online which was a while ago it was not user friendly any more sadly!

I did attempt using papajohns.com the other day and it did seem to work pretty well so if that 1 is in your area it's worth trying!

Re: Outlook 2016 and NVDA

Thank you, that does work.

With Window-eyes, when I hit control+y to select a folder, the number of unread messages is read as I arrow down.  This way, you have to go into a folder, shift+tab then arrow down and the unread numbers works, pretty much the same number of keystrokes, just a slightly different approach.

This I can get used to.
