It has been brought to my attention that this topic deals with the hacked version of Eloquence. Since it is against group rules, everywhere, to discuss hacked or cracked software, or to otherwise encourage illegal activity, this topic is now locked.

Installing Python 3 compatible Eloquence
#addonrelease
Hello everyone.
So I recently downloaded the Python 3 compatible Eloquence addon. However, when I try and install it... nothing seems to happen. I've tried removing Ultra Eloquence, I've tried it with Ultra Eloquence still installed and Eloquence seems to just disappear. Can anyone assist? You can find the addon here URL REDACTED It is also listed here URL REDACTED Thanks.

I don't know exactly when it began but NVDA lately cannot load my SAPI4 engines I use with it such as Eloquence which comes with Kurzweil 1000. Window-eyes loads it and I've not checked JFW yet but will and amend this message.

Re: Identifying capital letters

Not as far as I know. I suggest such an
option awhile ago but it hasn't been impleented, again, as far as I know.
I don't follow new features closely, though I read announcements about new
versions.

Subject: [nvda] Identifying capital letters I am well aware of the NVDA settings for indicating capital letters with beeps or saying "cap" before capitals and the pitch change to indicate capitls. What I really want to find a way to do is to use my preferred option (beep for capitals) when using read-all. The capital indications only seem to be performed when reading character-by-character. I'm writing up my 6,000-word MA degree dissertation and my supervisor noticed there were a few instances where I'd added some text at the start of an existing sentence and forgotten to turn the old first letter to lower case. The only way I could detect that would be by reading the 34,869 characters one by one and listening for the beep. That is not an option! Is there any way to get the capital indication to be active during read-all? Thanks, Giles

Re: Identifying capital letters
Giles,
Am I safe in presuming you're using MS-Word as your word processor? If so we should open up a topic in the Chat Subgroup as there are some tricks you could possibly use with Word's own find and replace (whether you're replacing or not) function that would let you find embedded capitals mid-word or capitalized words mid-sentence. It wouldn't be able to distinguish when proper names are involved mid-sentence, though. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: Identifying capital letters
Giles,
As both a regular expression geek, and someone who's spent a lot of time in the halls of academe over the years, I would really suggest that you hire yourself a proofreader. And I'm not saying this because you're blind, either. An experienced proofreader can pick up on all sorts of stuff, very quickly, without knowing anything much at all about the subject matter as that's not what their focus is. If you are doing a master's thesis it is well worth the money to hire a proofreader if at all possible. The only way I have ever been able to proof my own material is if I set it aside after writing it for some time before revisiting it again, as just "knowing what I meant to put there" often results in my seeing what's not there, but instead what I had intended. That's a luxury, time-wise, that one does not have with theses in general. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: Identifying capital letters
given the suggestions about regular expression searches, would it be possible to write a regular expression for NVDA's speech dictionary where a capital letter anywehre gets spoken as, for example, Home as "capital Home," or hOme as "h capitl Ome?"
That would enable me to listen from start to end, something I'm going to need to do before submission, and hear any cap;capitals as I go? Thanks for the suggested regular expressions, Luke :) Giles

Re: ALVA 544 Satellite Traveller braille display with NVDA
J.G
Hello,
as I have tested successfully, you have 2 choyses. the first is relatively expensive but very useful. if you can, borrow or buy also protocol converter from Optelec (support has ended) which introduce satellite displays to system as BC displays. second is that you buy srs232 converter it means, if you have only usb ports on your pc, that you plug in usb side into pc and the other side of converter (serial called also rs232) connect with cable to alva's serial port. In this case you should use brltty. remember: you must know on which com port a display is connected, so you can setup brltty. and if you use brltty, do not use usb connection on windows with this display. hope it helps. regards, Jožef p.s. braille extender addon cannot help.

Re: Identifying capital letters
Luke Davis
Giles, unfortunately there is no such functionality in NVDA.
An add-on for this could be written, but to my knowledge at least, one hasn't. As Chris suggested, however, if you have an editor which supports regular expression searches, you may be able to find (most of) the problem areas. This regexp: [\.\?!] +[a-z]|[a-zA-Z0-9,\+\)\]\"\'\`-] [A-Z]|^ *[a-z] Finds every capitalization error in the following test text, with no false positives, using Notepad++ with case sensitive searching (you must use case sensitive searching, of course). This is the first line, and shouldn't be found. This Is the second line. It should be targeted because of "is". This is the third, And should be captured like the 2nd! twice! This fourth line shouldn't be found. but this 5th line should. The regexp above only works assuming certain sentence ending characters, and word boundary characters. Character sets can break it, different punctuation style can break it, almost anything can break it. There are probably more robust ways to write it, using more agnostic word boundary characters and such. I am in a hurry, so I will leave improving it to Brian and others, but it's a start I think. Good luck. Luke

Re: Identifying capital letters
Chris Mullins
Hi Giles You could try editing your text using an editor that supports search using a regular expression, such as EdSharp. You could set a pattern of capital letters not preceded by a period, one or more space characters and or line break characters. I’m sorry I don’t have the knowhow to give you the pattern but I’m sure there are RE experts on the list who could provide this for you.
Good luck Chris

Is there some way to use some of the portable NVDA files for the installed NVDA? The portable one which is also an older version does say link or button before reading the link or button however, the latest portable version of NVDA has the same problem as the installed version of NVDA. Chantelle

If you are using a portable copy, and you try to run an installer, and it tries to use elevated privileges, you won't be able to hear what's happening. If you are using an installed copy of NVDA, and you don't have it set to speak on secure screens (nvda menu, preferences, settings, general), you will have problems. If it is neither of those things, then it is specific to the installer. We would have to know what the installer is, in order to help you. There is no "usual" way of dealing with this, it depends on the factors of the situation. Luke

Your stuck in a textbox with text formatting buttons above it like, bold, Italic, Indent, Add photo, ect… Your trapped in the textbox area. I was able to bounce around a little bit more with JAWS, but not in any meaningful way. I'm doubtful anyone will have a solution to using this website.

toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Sometimes you will have to exit forms mode and move down to the next field. Sometimes the forms themselves are badly coded. Setting things up that say setup. It could be a self extracter and you hit the space button and they work or a visual installer. If its a visual installer, chances are you can probably still extract it with something like 7zip, and run the setup inside the installer itself and its ok or use nvda ocr or narator on it. Chance is you can still use alt n for next, alt b for back, alt c for cancel, alt i for install or alt s for start, alt y or n for licence aggreements. I do get different language installers that do this to.

Ibrahim, I subscribed to that website and then followed your link and

had the exact same experience. I tried using JAWS and had the same results. It would be surprising to me if anyone could navigate such an inaccessible website. If, by chance, the program your trying to install is the Bluestacks android emulater, it too is inaccessible. At least it was the last time I tried to install it. The Android OS is open source, and that's a good thing, however it also means there are no accessibility standards imposed on programmers and they may be totally unaware that accessibility code exists. Anyway, more experienced NVDA users may have answers for you. Good luck, Blaster
