Re: Problem with Outlook Extended; Status: Enabled; Version: 1.2
Ralf Kefferpuetz
Hi Sam, Please see below Cyrille her comments and ask. **** **** ****
From: nvda-addons@nvda-addons.groups.io <nvda-addons@nvda-addons.groups.io> On Behalf Of Cyrille via Groups.Io
Hello all
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Sam Bushman
Ok, I can wait.
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Ralf Kefferpuetz
Sam,
The fastest way would be to go to the 64bit version of Office 365 as long you have a 64bit Windows. But don’t forget that you would have to uninstall and re-install Office and that would lead to loosing your Outlook settings. I wrote Cyrille a message about the problem, She is taking care about the current addon. I’m going to find a solution together with her to get this solved. I can offer you my older addon outlook enhanced in the meantime, I modified it so that it works with the new control-ID’s.
Cheers, Ralf
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Sam Bushman
Hi Ralf,
Yes, you are correct. Is it better for me to wait until the fix – or better for me to upgrade to the 64bit version? I would be grateful for your recommendation.
Thanks, Sam

Hello,
I’m one of the co-authors of this addon. Am I right that you are using office365 32bit version? We discovered a problem that Microsoft changed some control-ID’s in the 32bit versions of Outlook and that’s why the Alt-numkeys aren’t working anymore. I’m sure that a future update of the addon will handle this issue.
Best, Ralf From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Sam Bushman
Hi All,
I am having a problem with Outlook Extended; Status: Enabled; Version: 1.2 plugin.
I am running NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) Version: beta-18028,e579eb02
However same issue with the latest official release of NVDA as well.
When I press shift-nvda-I or shift-nvda-a the commands work perfectly.
But, when I press alt-1-9 I just get the message (Not in a message window). This is when I am in a message.
Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks so much for any help. Sam

Re: greetings from a new user, making transition from JAWS2018 using Win10 and looking for tips and tricks and default program suggestions
Phil Jenkins gmail
Gene
Many thanks for this wonderful overview. I’m about to begin a MSc with The Open University in October. Whilst the Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) ‘might’ buy me a new SMA for JAWS (currently using 2018) I fell out of ‘love’ with JAWS years ago, and since they bought out Window-Eyes and promptly shut them down, I find their business model very distasteful indeed!! My adoption of JAWS was via the workplace and in the past the huge advantage of JAWS was it could be adapted to use very weird and wonderful software environments in the workplace. Now I’m simply an advanced home user who wants to study effectively and efficiently, I think I ought to both ‘dump’ this Win7Pro PC along with JAWS and when I move to my new Win10 laptop, move completely and use NVDA. Anyhow, that’s my motivation.
Yes, I am someone who uses the system tray quite a lot, especially for Dropbox. I nowadays c myself quite an advanced Windows user.
Now here’s the question: should I splash to on Office 365 or can I use some kind of Open Source, free office suite just as well? Mostly all I really need to do is produce quite long documents when writing my postgrad essays. Of course, any open source free word processor *MUST* work with my tens of thousands of older documents going back to the late 80’s and most recently .docx files.
I had a go with Thunderbird and didn’t find it very easy to use but that’ might be because I was thinking too MS having moved from OE to Outlook and I note from the NVDA site that Thunderbird is fully accessible? Is Firefox and Waterfox and Chrome too?
I guess the NVDA key is the ‘zero’ on the num pad on the right hand side on a full-sized keyboard? Mind you, it might do me some good to use the left caps lock too given I’m having major RSI problems in the tendon of my right thumb which I reckon is because of the weird stretches I’m doing on my keyboard despite it supposedly being a ‘Natural’ MS ergonomic keyboard.
Again, hugest Thanks
PJ

You talked about making a slow transition to NVDA. it won't necessarily be that slow. A lot of what people do with a screen-reader isn't specifically using screen-reader commands. A lot of it is using Windows and program commands. there are certain commands you need to know with any screen--reader at the outset, in terms of efficient use and easier use with programs and Windows. Here are commands and some information you will want to know right away.
Run NVDA, control alt n. Unload NVDA, NVDA key q. Press it, wait a moment, then press enter. Working with the voice: Open the voice dialog with control NVDA key v. You are in a field where you select the voices available for the synthesizer you are using. Itsa combo box. Tab through the fields to see the adjustments you can make. The second field is for speed, there is a punctuation field, and other fields. There is an ok button once you have made the settings changes you want. Using the default NVDA settings, the settings are saved as permanent in the program when you exit NVDA or whenever it shuts down properly such as when you shut down Windows. You can change the settings whenever you want but they won't stay changed until you change them by exiting the program or manually save them, control NVDA key c. My point is that if you change them and the program crashes before you manually save them or before the program shuts down correctly in the same session as you changed them, the next time the program opens, the old settings will be used.
Let's say you have made a number of changes or even one, to NVDA as an experiment. If you haven't closed the program or manually saved the settings, you can set everything back as it was before you made the changes with control NVDA key r. This is very useful to immediately change settings back to what they were if you intend one or more changes to just be during the current session. Don't forget to change them back before closing the program or the new settings will be saved as the settings the program will use until you change them again.
Read to end is NVDA key down arrow, that is down arrow on the main keyboard. I use the caps lock as the NVDA key with this command. I find it far more convenient than using either insert with down arrow. You can set NvDA to use caps lock as an NVDA key. Both inserts can still be used. Open keyboard settings with control NVDA key k. Tab to a check box that allows the caps lock to work as an NVDA key. Check it with the space bar. Tab to and activate the ok button. Now you can use capslock down arrow as well as either insert down arrow for read to end. Of course,, you may use caps lock as the NVDA key whenever you wish. To use the caps lock key as the caps lock key, press it twice quickly--twice quickly for on, twice quickly for off. Read current line is NVDA key up arrow on the main keyboard. However, I use the numpad for that command. It requires only one hand and only one key to be pressed and it is clustered with the other review commands. Note the pattern: Read current line: Numpad 8. Read next line numpad 9. Read previous line, numpad 7. Current word, numpad 5. Next word, numpad 6. Previous word, numpad 4. Current character, numpad 2. Next character, numpad 3. Previous character numpad 1. All these reading commands are when using the default desktop layout. If you want to use the laptop layout, I don't know those commands. There is a different command for read to end in the laptop layout as well. Speak title bar, NVDA key t. Speak time, NVDA key 12. If you use the system tray, that will take a little explanation. NVDA doesn't explain how to use the system tray using it so ask here. Just about all commands you used to use in the virtual PC cursor are identical to JAWS. You may want speech instead of sounds and you may want to make a few other changes to how the equivalent of the Virtual PC Cursor works. Its called browse mode. If you want more information, ask here. of course, you can get this information in the user guide and elsewhere, but it will be faster and more convenient to get a few commands here and a little explanation.
Aside from what I've said, if you are a more advanced screen-reader user, you will want to know how to use what NVDA calls object navigation. You will also want to know how to use what NVDA calls screen review, the rough equivalent of the JAWS cursor even if you aren't more advanced. I won't go into all that here, but I'm presenting many things you may want to learn at the outset rather than later, though object navigation is something you may want to learn after screen-review. It is something you haven't worked with before but if its taught properly, you will catch on to it after some looking around and playing around. If you use materials to learn it and you have problems, ask here and I'll give some examples that may help you learn to use it better. Explanation, to an extent, when using object navigation is helpful but my experience is that you really learn it by playing around and following a few concrete examples along with and after a little explanation.
Here is something very important. When you use screen review, always go back to object navigation afterwords. Don't put it off or forget. If you stay in screen-review, many from the keyboard commands will work properly but some won't and you will have no idea why. That's why, you are still in screen review.
Others may have a good deal of other information you will be interested in such as about instructional material or commands I haven't discussed but my object is to get you using NVDA in a reasonable number of situations as easily and quickly as possible.

Re: Code Factory add-in for NVDA
Gene
I doubt that copyrights have to specifically assert
copyright for every version of the software that exists. The SAPI version
uses Dectalk as the synthesizer used. SAPI is a means of communicating
with Windows, it is not the software itself. A patent holder on the
transistor doesn't have to patent every product transistors are used in.
You are making an equivalent claim.

Re: Brltty, anything new
Deborah Armstrong <debee@...>
Maybe you can't get it working in Win10 because of the hooks already there for the Brltty Microsoft hacked up for Narrator. I'm afraid to try adding Brltty for NVDA because I have Narrator working fine with Braille right now. But it has the same problem NVDA does: there are a lot of weird characters it displays even if you turn off all translation and want to read a BRF raw.
I can at least try the Braille extender add-on using an old Windows 7 PC but I do wish we could figure out if we could get NVDA to use the Brltty that's already available in Windows 10. As for Linux, I agree, I've used Brltty in Linux for years. That's off-topic though and there's a whole list for discussing that. My displays are PowerBraille and Navigators from TeleSensory. They are serial and I have several. I use a USB-To-Serial cable and have had no problems getting Narrator to talk to any of these displays. Some USB-To-Serial cables don't have Windows 10 drivers, but when you have one that does, Brltty supports many old displays.

suggestions Welcome to this group, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience with NVDA. 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.

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).
