Re: strange thing in Nvda
Gene
This is a good opportunity to remind people who
don't do so, that when presenting a problem, what is being used and what is done
that causes the problem should be reported.
I doubt you can do anything about this. At
times, information is sent to NvdA that it reads automatically and this speech
isn't related to progress updates. Even if they are off, the information
is spoken. In this case, as I recall, if you leave the window, you won't
hear it. So just don't stay in the window when you don't want to hear the
status of the download.
This appears to be a problem introduced into
quantum Firefox. I don't recall it existing before quantum.

If the discussion were about how to code in Python, what the structure of a JSON file is, or similar, that would be off-topic but would also be perfectly appropriate for the chat subgroup.

Re: Question about NVDA Beta Version

Oh no problem at all. Maybe we need to be clearer in our communication. I'd much rather you ask than be confused and not say anything :)

Re: Elements not being reported with NVDA
Luke,
Yes, there is a way to read these, though it is inconvenient.Actually, not inconvenient at all. Using the laptop keyboard it's easy peasy :) Far from perfect, which would be just land on a link and hear what it's about, but nothing impossible at all. It's really weird and I never would have thought of something like that. How did you find it out? You might want to have a look through the issues here, and if this one isn't described anywhere (it's not on the first page of results, but there are a few), post a new one.Hmmm, I've never dealt with GitHub before. I'll probably do it but I don't know when. Thanks for your answer. It's definitely appreciated! :) Cheers, Marcio AKA Starboy Sent from a galaxy far, far away. --Are you a Thunderbird user?

Thanks. Now I definitely got it. Sorry,

Re: Elements not being reported with NVDA
Luke Davis
Yes, there is a way to read these, though it is inconvenient.
Select the link (k or tab or whatever), and enter focus mode (NVDA-space). then read to end of current text (numpad plus on desktop keyboard mode), or use current and next line commands (8-9 on numpad, desktop mode) to read the current text. Then NVDA-space or escape to get back out of focus mode. This is not the only aria-label issue currently extant, but I don't think I've seen this one mentioned specifically. You might want to have a look through the issues here, and if this one isn't described anywhere (it's not on the first page of results, but there are a few), post a new one. https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+aria-label&=&=&=&= I tried it in FF and Chrome, and got the same results as you.

Re: Question about NVDA Beta Version
Quentin,
Thanks so much, now I understood it!
Now, the last question: if for some reason a new beta appear before a stable version, what will happen? That is, suppose I have the beta 1 for the 2019.2 version. If for some reason a new beta is needed, will I get this beta automatically since this isn't a stable version yet? Again, thanks a lot :) Cheers, Marcio AKA Starboy Sent from a galaxy far, far away. --Are you a Thunderbird user?

Re: Question about NVDA Beta Version
Quentin Christensen
Hi Marcio, you hadn't noticed it before, because it's a new process :) Because we only release beta versions in the lead-up to a new stable version (unlike alpha builds, which we release every few days, or sometimes several in a day), we had made it so the beta version automatically rolls over to the final stable version when it comes out. So, if you install 2019.2beta1, when the final 2019.2 comes out, your beta version will update to that version. If you don't do anything else, you're back on the "stable" channel, and you'll next update to 2019.3 when it comes out. If you want to try beta versions of 2019.3, you'll need to download the beta when it comes out, and either run it as a temporary / portable copy, or install it, in which case the process will be the same (it will update to the stable version when it comes out). If you want to test the more bleeding edge code, you can install the alpha builds, and they will keep updating to the latest alpha build - they won't change channels on you. So, in summary - there's no branch which will automatically update you from the beta builds of 2019.2 to the beta builds of 2019.3 when it comes out, you'll need to keep an eye on our announcements and download the first beta you want to try of any given release. What we are hoping, is that this change will make it easier for people to try out the beta versions, knowing they will be automatically updated to the stable version when it comes out without needing to do anything extra at that time. Regards Quentin.

Question about NVDA Beta Version
Hi,
I'm thinking about going back to the NVDA Beta Version. Currently, I'm on the "official" channel. Before I can think more about it I have a question. I was reading this edition of NVDA In Process and I just noticed something that I haven't noticed before. If you install the beta version, when the final NVDA 2019.2 comes out, it will update to that version automatically. In the lead up to NVDA 2019.3, you will need to manually download a new beta once one is released, if you wish.Does it mean then that starting with NVDA Beta 2019.3 I won't get automatic updates anymore? Sorry for asking it now but I really
haven't noticed this detail before and today the question just
came up.
I'll love to be an NVDA Beta user again :) just don't feel like downloading a new version all the time. It would be way better if it could update by itself as it is with all the other versions. Cheers, Marcio AKA Starboy Sent from a galaxy far, far away. --Are you a Thunderbird user?

Elements not being reported with NVDA
Hi,
STR:
What's preventing NVDA from reporting the
description apparently is an HTML tag. I searched a bit and could
understand it but not enough for explain it here, so I'll just
give an example.
Look at this part of the article: We can show you how to (opens in a new tab). Now its source code: We can show you how to <a href="https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/run-chkdsk-utility-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">fix file system errors in Windows with CHKDSK</a>. </p> In light of this, is there any workaround so that NVDA reports the description inside a <a href> tag apart from resorting to the source code of the page? Finally, maybe this is something that can be fixed in an NVDA update altogether? Sorry for the long message, but I needed to explain the entire story before asking my question.

Re: strange thing in Nvda

If you are using Chrome, that appears to be an
announcement chrome generates, unlrelated to NVDA's read progress bar
functions.
I don't know if it can be stopped.

Re: Accessible Apps for Writers, Learning NVDA
Brian Moore
Hi. I rarely use the spell check function in word but rather have the option turned on to identify misspellings as I type. Wtih nvda, if I type a word which is not in the dictionary, I hear a sound from nvda.
If I am not sure how to spell the word in question, I can press the application key to get a list of suggestions.
It is also entierly possible to use the actual spell checker in word with nvda if you prefer that method.
I am using office 365 but unless you are on a really old version of word, this shouldn't matter much as this functionality hasn't changed in a long time.
If you really want to learn a lot about nvda, the training materials available for purchase from the nvda online store are well worth the money.
Happy to elaborate on any of this privately.
Brian.

Hi all! Since I'm exploring writing and environmental science anyway, I'll have to check out that Pro Writer app. I think it could help me look over my own work. I'm suposed to take college writing in the fall, in addision to spell check,
this other tool could also help me with my editing. You gave a good example of good editing power with that gramar tool. I'd love to find out just what it thinks of my overall accademic writing skills.
Thank you for taking the time to read this Email!
Blessed be!!!

The process also differs depending on which version of Word you are using. Word 365 works quite well. Word 2013 and 2016 can be done, but getting to things like the definitions of the suggested words is not as straight forward.

Re ProWritingAid, it is more a really powerful grammar checker. Throwing the above paragraph into it, For writing style, it noted:
1 adverb found outside dialogue. Use adverbs sparingly in your writing, For sentence length, it remonstrated: Avg Sentence Length (26.0) target 11 to 18 Sentence variety 1.1 target over 3 It also complained about diction, but otherwise seemed happy with my effort.
