SPL Addon Questions
Dan Kerstetter
How do I assign a certain key to be the SPL key?
Also, is there more documentation than what is presented in the Addon help?
Thanks in advance.

SPL Addon Questions
Dan Kerstetter
Is it still necessary for me to assign the SPL layer key to the grave accent key or has it been incorporated into the addon? It’s been a long time since I’ve done this and I need to train a new broadcaster.

Re: Code Factory add-in for NVDA
Josh Kennedy
In the meantime, though, if you want a voice that is responsive and sounds a bit like eloquence, why not use nv-speech-player, it is free and is on the NVDA extra voices website.

Re: Code Factory add-in for NVDA
Josh Kennedy
It, as I understand, is not codeFactory's fault. It is Nuance, the people who bought eloquence when the other smaller companies folded or went under, it is Nuance who says to codeFactory, you can make and sell eloquence as sapi5, for android, for NVDA, but you must agree to our (Nuance's) terms and licenses and license schemes. So CodeFactory has no choice but to impose those restrictive licenses on us. If you really want to get your copy of eloquence running on your work machine, I recommend getting in touch with Nuance about how to activate it on the company or corporate computer you wish to use it on. Because Nuance probably knows how to get that accomplished moreSo than codeFactory does. Because codeFactory is just the company which packages eloquence in particular ways in order to sell it in the forms, NVDA-addon, sapi5, android version, that the end-user wish to use it on.

I've been using it exclusively since 2009, and I've certainly seen it grow. From what I read and hear from other users, The two screen readers both have features that are better than the other, but NvDA is definitely an excellent product. About the NVDA Key: I use both the Insert (or 0) on the keypad, and the Capslock. This setup comes in handy, because if you have to go to the NVDA menu, for example, you can press Capslock with your left hand and the letter N with your right hand, and so on. I use LibreOffice, although there are still some accessibility issues here and there; Thunderbird for email, Firefox, Chrome and Brave as browsers, and vlc instead of wmp. As for commands, you find a full list in the Help section of the NVDA menu (NVDA key + N). I hope you enjoy your transition, and I'm sure other users will give you more detailed tips and recommendations. Take care, Ciao, Ollie Il 18/07/2019 13:48, Phil Jenkins gmail ha scritto:

Re: nvda and vlc?
Ame
Hi! I don’t know anything about a mac. I do know that, to turn things up and down with vlc, all you have to do is use the arrows. Same with scanning through something. I think it’s later versions that allow you to just use an arrow. Alt left or right and control left or right allow you to jump farther over. As for the equalizer, I never mess with any of that so I’m afraidsomeone else will have to help you there. Now let me ask you a question. I’m totally blind and, from what I understand, there must be video content for you to upload to YouTube. How on earth is someone who can’t see anything gonna manage to upload something. I’d like to try.

Re: dropbox
Vincent Le Goff <vincent.legoff.srs@...>
The preferences are okay, though NVDA stumbles when getting to some tabs. The general tab is usable. When I go to personal tab (is it due to the fact that I have shared folders) I always hit an infinite loop in the tab switching process. But overall yes, it's fine (even the Dropbox app itself can be accessed with some pain and effort and time :D which was something I was unwilling to grant Dropbox, considering how easy it was to use previously).

If you were to want a parallel topic on another group, any other group, then send a message with the same content to said group. Do not take the chance, anywhere, that something would slip through to two completely unrelated groups and that "innocent bystanders" who might reply would end up cross-posting as well. That way lies madness for the membership of all the involved groups and justified banning of the member that triggered it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: Code Factory add-in for NVDA
Josh Kennedy
well, if the old decTalk access32 for windows95, and the softVoice-willowpond tts are indeed abandonware, if this can be confirmed, then, perhaps you could use one or both of those with NVDA? I emailed the author of softVoice-tts and have heard nothing back. It seems as if that website has been abandoned. And the people who claim they sell decTalk have an old copyright on their site which is 6 or so years old, and it does not even support sapi5. So, again, if the old decTalk access32 and the other tts I mentioned are abandonware, perhaps ESpeak could be modified to load their tts-dll files and those two older voices could be included as a part of ESpeak? Those voices also have their own phonemes, pitches, ways of speaking. So all ESpeak and ESpeak sapi5 would need to do is load, and use, the 24-year-old possiby abandoned decTalk and softVoice-tts dll files, and register and use the voices and/or languages they come with. the last time I heard from the author of softVoice-tts several years ago, he said he did not care if we used softVoice with screen readers. nobody uses it or wants to buy it anymore anyway.

Have experience of Outlook, Outlook Express, poor experience of Thunderbird. Have used I#e, Firefox and Chrome. No experience of Edge.Chrome and Firefox work great, with Chrome feeling slightly snappier and Firefox feeling slightly more consistent. I'd stay away from Edge until they have completed the transition to the Chromium engine, at which point everything will be good roads and fair weather. In general, anything Chromium-based will be a delightful user experience, so you'll be perfectly safe using Opera or Brave if you so choose. As for email clients, I'd go for Outlook or Thunderbird or use a web mailer such as Gmail or Protonmail, which is what I chose because I like to enjoy some degree of privacy and sometimes even anonymity in the jungle they call the net. 3 Music player? WMP or WinAmp or something else?Winamp is currently semi-abandoned but still works if you know your hotkeys. VLC is more accessible and more configurable. 4 Does NVDA work with any kind of ‘Open Office’ non MS office suite?There is some support for LibreOffice but it is not on par with how NVDA supports MS Office. I guess the things I use the most with my old Win7Pro machine that I’m about to stop using and move to the Win10 machine are:Green light. - - IE, Firefox (or Waterfox) and Chrome.Forget about IE, with any of the others you'll be fine. - Word.Perfect match. - Audible ManagerOld, unsupported, but still much more accessible than the new Windows 10 app. Audible also has a cloud player which you can use right in your browser, and it's accessible. - SoundtaxiNo idea. - SendspaceNeither. - CcleanerIt's getting less and less accessible, but in the mode called "custom clean" it can still be used. - Secure NotesNever heard of that one. Sounds interesting. - DropboxUnpredictable in terms of updates breaking accessibility, but they're trying. - WMP.Lots of tabbing. Go with VLC, is my advice. Cheers Perry

nvda and vlc?
I'm a youtube streamer. I have over 5 or 7 gigs of non copyright music I'd love to use, problem? I don't want to use fubar anymore. I want to actually use vlc as that's what I'm used to on the mac side of things. I heard a while ago that vlc although usable was a bit annoying to use with nvda. Is this still the case? I'm used to using the equalizer, hitting command up and down arrow to turn stuff down, etc. Does the control up and down arrows work to do that in vlc, control left right to fast forward and rewind, and control p to play pause? Is the EQ interface accessible and everything else? I might bcc this tot he chat group, although I got band from a list when I BCCed the email I sent to a list to a friend so might do this the ld fashion way. Take care all.

Using NVDA in the context of language learning
Yesterday a new member to the Chat Subgroup posted the following topic there: Learning Spanish using NVDA
This is a complex subject with which I have no experience, and probably a very limited number of our membership have direct experience, whether with Spanish specifically or another language. I am posting this here so that those who might have such experience, but have not joined the Chat Subgroup, will be aware of the topic's existence should they wish to join and assist. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

greetings from a new user, making transition from JAWS2018 using Win10 and looking for tips and tricks and default program suggestions
Phil Jenkins gmail
Greetings folks
I’m a 20+ year user of JAWS. Not necessarily because it has been the ‘best’ but rather because it was what my employer and uni’ provided and it simply became habitual. Now I have to pay for all upgrades myself, and not really enjoying the ‘drug pusher’ like relationship JAWS has with its users, I have decided to make the slow but sure move to NVDA. I’ve heard great things about the screen reader and in fact I’ve heard in many cases I should be able to do things with NVDA that I cannot do with JAWS.
So my PC is Windows10 with MS-Office.
1 Is there a document that gives NVDA equivalent keyboards commands as JAWS, ie if you did X ion JAWS then do Y in NVDA? Presumably the ‘access’ key is the zero on the num pad that JAWS uses? 2 What is the best default email client and web browser to use with NVDA? Have experience of Outlook, Outlook Express, poor experience of Thunderbird. Have used I#e, Firefox and Chrome. No experience of Edge. 3 Music player? WMP or WinAmp or something else? 4 Does NVDA work with any kind of ‘Open Office’ non MS office suite?
I guess the things I use the most with my old Win7Pro machine that I’m about to stop using and move to the Win10 machine are: - Outlook - - IE, Firefox (or Waterfox) and Chrome. - Word. - Audible Manager - Soundtaxi - Sendspace - Ccleaner - Secure Notes - Dropbox - WMP.
Thanks all and apologies if this question has been asked and asked again, feel free to point me at web resources that will answer my questions.
Kindest
PJ

That's in your own personal world. Its simply dead out of date OS. No matter how colorful you try to picture it. its still a dead OS for most of us. And please stop advertising for a far gone OS, it benefit's no one. there are a lot seeking support here. And The way you keep repeating the same old song, XP this and XP that, is at least distracting for some, If not annoying, and ends up with a hijacked thread argument, about who loves and hates some OS release .
