Hi,

Is there a way to turn off NVDA progress beep as it is happening when I try to listen to an audio message sent by my daughter middle school.  It sure is annoying!

Many thanks

Blessings

Pascal

How do you use the context key - when do you press it and where do you need
to be first?

You can also get to the extension by using object navigation. Use F6 to get
to the address bar. Then use NVDA+NUmPad6 to move to the next object until
you find the "extensions grouping".
Use NVDA+NumPad2 to move into the grouping Then use NVDA+NUmPad6 to move to
the next item until you find the lastpass object.
Then use NVDA+NumPadEnter to activate the lastpass object.

That all said, most of the time the context menu is a much easier/faster way
of accessing lastpass functionality in the browser.

Dark and all

 

I believe the setting is in the settings for the individual synthesizer you are using and not NVDA.  What synthesizer are you using?

Dark,

As far as I know there's not any such setting. I'll follow this thread though because I'd be interested on this as well :)

Hi all. All of us use NVDA extensively for those basic computer tasks like emailing, word processing, surfing the web and so on. But there are some of you I'm sure who would like to do more with your pcs, in company with NVDA.  I'm sure that there are some among you, for example who would like to branch out, into something else you are really good at and make a decent living out of it.  like making music? music production? or programming? and why not?  NVDA has come a long way since it started way back years ago.  No more is it a screen reader that plays second fiddle to the more established JFW.  Window eyes has come and gone, unjustly consigned to the whims of Father Time.  But with the undaunting efforts of the main developers and the community, NVDA is now a formidable tool that can be employed for more serious pursuits like Music production and Computer Programming.  I want to concentrate however on music making because there are a lot of talented blind folks who would like to make music, perhaps as a hobby or as a form of livelihood but do not know how to go about it, and In particular, i want to sportlight Reaper, a most versatile Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), which also allows for MIDI recording..


You can get Reaper from its website,

http://reaper.fm/download.php

or download it here and install it as a fully functional trial,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zpw1xyen2ynbeay/reaper5981_x64-install.exe?dl=1

Then download and install Osara, an NVDA extension which enhances NVDA's capability to almost fully access the Reaper application.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zpw1xyen2ynbeay/reaper5981_x64-install.exe?dl=1

You have now got a computer which also acts as a music work station, allowing you to record and edit midi, as well as record and edit audio.  How cool is that?

As a demo to put forward my point, here's a piece of music I wrote for a school's music educational program and was paid for it.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xcy5lhusgftiff/Kangaroo%20Playtime.mp3?dl=0

The music is not put here to show of my limited skill but rather to show you what you can do if you venture to use NVDA as broadly as you can and not limit it's limitless capabilities.

Now having turned your pc into a music work Station, Consult the Reaper wiki, at https://reaperaccessibility.com/index.php/Main_Page and go make music.  You can also join the reaper mailing list for help and questions.  The address is listed on the wiki.


This is part  of a paper on Computer accessibility I was invited to present by our local I T government department to a group of blind and sighted university students a week ago.  I only included the music part of the presentation here as many blind people want to make something out of their music talent but don't know how. Hope the moderators won't mind.  Cheers!

I did check, and "Handle keys from other applications" is checked.

Here is the autohotkeys script...

*`::
if (toggle := !toggle)
Send, {Insert Down}
else
Send, {Insert Up}
ToolTip % "Insert key is " (GetKeyState("Insert")=1 ? "Down" : "Up")
Return

I remapped the ` key simply because it is essentially available. When I trigger the ` key, I get the ToolTip showing "Insert key is Down." And triggering again, the ToolTip will show "Insert key is Up." But when I load NVDA and then trigger the ` key, the ToolTip always shows "Insert key is up." In other words, with NVDA loaded, the autohotkeys script no longer toggles holding down the Insert key.

Thanks for the continued help with this...

Darren

Subject: Re: [nvda] NVDA modifier key and Words+ EZ Keys

Questions:
1. Does EZ Keys let you press caps lock or insert, just not hold them down?
If it does, Windows sticky keys will work with NVDA to hold down the modifier.
2. Does it let you hold down any other keys? If so, I've got an addon somewhere which should be easily modifiable to let you do that.
As an example, does it give you the ability to hold down left alt or right alt independently? If so, you could use one for an alt key and the other for an NVDA modifier.
If none of these ideas will work, what does it let you do?
Make sure that, when you're testing your autohotkey script, you have "Handle keys from other applications" checked in NVDA's keyboard settings. If you don't, then NVDA won't see the injected key.
If you send that script, I might be able to test over here and figure out what breaks. Using it with a keyboard should also have the same problem.

I am a long time single switch scanning user of Word+ EZ Keys. I'm
trying to also use NVDA for screen reader capabilities. My problem is
using the NVDA modifier key from my scanning software. There is no
direct way to "hold down" the Insert or Capslock from EZ Keys. I am
trying to use Autohotkeys to simulate holding down the Insert, but
the key doesn't work once I load NVDA.


Does anyone have suggestions for remapping the NVDA modifier key to
something like Alt-0 or something?

Thanks!

Hi All,



How can we access the LastPass Icon with NVDA? Is there a hot key or a
way to interact with lastpass?



Thanks so much,

Sam
