It definitely is. This option would be, and (in the Alpha versions is
already) on by default on recent versions of Windows 10. So if you can
please try with the latest Alpha versions, and if the problem persist
create an issue.

Maybe there is a better site, and I don't know if this suggestion will make the site useable enough to bother but you could have the page opened in two browsers.  One could be on the names, the other could be in the numberz table.  You could move down the names in one browser, alt tab to the other, and find the numbers that correspond. 
For example, move five names from the top and in the numbers table. move five sets of numbers down.

As is often the case when working with tables, it’s a site problem.  If you try to move while on a name, you will hear NVDA announce edge of table.
If you are in the numbers, you can move.  The numbers are a separate table.  For some unfathomable reason, the names are in their own table.  Visually, it may look identical but it isn't.

Hi Group,

If you visit the following URL: https://www.espn.com/nfl/standings, you
will see that trying to navigate the standings for the National Football
League using standard navigation keystrokes (control + alt + left/right
arrows and control + alt + up/down arrows) does not work.  You stay in
the first column and can't move to any other columns.

Does anyone else experience this and if so, is this a known bug?

Re: What is UI automation in Windows console for?

If you open the NVDA 19.2 user guide, and, find the heading level 5, "Use UI Automation to access the Windows Console when available", then under it, you will find the text I copied, including a link to the following page on windows accessibility:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/whats-new-in-windows-console-in-windows-10-fall-creators-update/


And, the title of that page is the following: What’s new in Windows Console in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update".


In other words, it sounds to me like NVDA is trying to keep up to date with what windows 10 development team is doing themselves?

Re: links and buttons problem found.

Luke Davis
 

The Audio Themes add-on has been a bit unstable for a while, and in some circumstances could really slow down NVDA in all 2019 versions.

In 2019.2, I believe it became unstable enough that it has been removed from stable add-ons on the website.

I think I heard that it is being worked on, however. So there is some hope for those who liked it, that it will be back eventually.

But for now, if you use it, expect oddness.

Re: NVDA treating an interactive shell running under command line a little bit odd - php interactive interpreter

Jacob Kruger
 

Ok, for interest's sake, switching on UIA for command line, does interfere with things like object navigation and screen review in the normal cmd.exe interface, so have now set up two separate configuration profiles, so that can easily/quickly switch to the one with UIA switched on when I want to, but, can otherwise normally, keep it switched off.

Fix for explorer crashing in Windows 7

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi everyone,

An issue which has plagued many of our Windows 7 users lately, particularly those who use the mouse, has been explorer crashing in the start menu and other windows.

The latest "Alpha" snapshot *should* address this problem.  I'd like to encourage anyone who has experienced this issue to please test the latest alpha and let us know if that has in fact fixed the problem.

You can download the latest alpha from: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapshots/ - go to the first "download" link.  If you haven't used an alpha build before, when you run the downloaded file, it looks like any other version of NVDA.  It gives you the license agreement with options to install, create a portable version or continue running.  To test this particular fix, you should be able to simply "Continue running" (Which runs a complete version of NVDA, but any changes to settings you make won't be saved).  If you find it particularly useful, you can install it, but note that it will offer to update each day or each time a new alpha build is released if you leave check for updates enabled.  You will also likely note that it "beeps" more often than a regular stable version of NVDA.  This is because it beeps each time an error is encountered.  Often, however, errors are dealt with in the background with no adverse effects, so in a stable version of NVDA, a user would never notice it.  In the alpha builds, it beeps so that developers testing the build can know that an error has occurred.

All things going well, this fix is due to be included in NVDA 2019.3 when it comes out.  Sorry, I don't have an anticipated date at this stage, but we will release one or more beta versions, then one or more "RC" or release candidate builds and then the final version.

Once again, if you've had the issue with Explorer crashing in Windows 7, please do try the latest alpha snapshot and let us know how it is working for you.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Tips for reporting issues: Please don't say "Using the latest version of Windows 10 and NVDA" when reporting issues

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi everyone,

I've seen a few people report issues lately, and say something along the lines of "I'm using the latest versions of Windows 10 and NVDA".

I'm not having a go at anyone over that, but I wanted to share the point of view of trying to recreate your issue in order to help solve it.  Even though it seems obvious to you what you are using, it may not narrow it down as much as may be needed to troubleshoot the issue you are having.

With Windows 10 - the latest version could mean:
- The latest fast insider build
- The latest slow insider build
- The latest Skip Ahead insider build
- The latest regular consumer build
- The consumer build from six months before that as Microsoft can do very staggered rollouts over three months or more.
- An earlier consumer build because Microsoft have determined that your system can't run the most recent update.

For NVDA, there aren't quite as many options if you are running the "Latest" version, but that still could be:
- The latest alpha build
- Another alpha build from the last 24 hours (we might release more than one alpha build in a day, but if you are relying on the automatic check for updates, it will only check once a day).
- The latest Beta or RC build (if we are in a beta or RC cycle at the time)
- The latest stable build

So, that's something like 24 potential combinations of "the latest versions" of Windows 10 and NVDA!  (I must admit, even I didn't think it was that many when I started writing this).

When reporting an issue (in the group, via email, on GitHub, or anywhere else), could you please try to:
- Give the Windows build number.  To find that press WINDOWS+R, type WINVER and press ENTER.
- Give the NVDA version number.  Press NVDA+N, then H, then A.
- Give the version of any other program you are using (EG if you are having a problem in PowerPoint, please advise its version or build number).
- Give specific steps to recreate the issue you are having.

All of that will help anyone trying to assist you to recreate the issue and give advice as quickly as possible without needing to come back and ask lots of additional questions.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Re: Synthesizer issues? And searching for one.

Shaun Everiss
 

To be honest for what they are, I wouldn't be paying 40 bucks a voice.

The reason I got the code factory voices it was because I got all of them in a package.

The next voices I will probably get if I do, are the more expensive acapella infovox data key flash disk if I ever bother again with this.

For what I use, eloquence handles a lot of retro games, and vocaliser will handle just about everything else.

While its not realspeak solo by any push, at least its 64 bit and compatible with later oses, which is why I bothered in the first place.

Garry,



Good! Now we know that you have assigned the top row to be the column
headers! Just to confirm that I have that right, can you say what
keystrokes
you used to tell NVDA that the Date row was the header row?



This ghost citing of a previous number sounds like a misplaced header
reference, that is why I want to know the exact key sequence you used to
define the header and I also need you to confirm the row number which you
used to make the definition.



After that, we need to check the Row header process. Row headers are
defined
by any vertical column which you choose to identify for that purpose. You
would hear the results of your selection when you arrow up or down on the
worksheet.



There is no way that NVDA can remember a previous cell and repeat it to you
unless something has been changed.



Would you check your document settings in NVDA (NVDA+control+d) and see if
anything looks odd to you and report back what you find?

You say that you hear the content of a previous cell when you arrow. Is
that
when you arrow up or down? Or, is it when you arrow left or right?



It would be a help if you could use column and row references to clarify
your examples so that we can picture the relationship between the cells
that
you are referring to.



All the best,

Here are the names of the cell headers:

Date systolic diastolic pulse

I told nvda that the date field was the header field.

When I go to todays date and I arrow to the next cell I hear the number 139
which was a prior cell content. Also when I enter the new data it says it
along with the ghost data. I hope this helps.

Hi, Larry,

I'd like to try to help.



Can you give us a real example and try to give a more complete description
of the Excel table?



Here are some questions to get started:

1. Have you told NVDA which row or column is to be the header row?
2. Exactly what number does Excel speak when you go to edit a new cell?
3. Is the spoken number in the adjacent cell or somewhere else in the
table?



All the best,



Cearbhall

Hi All,



I am using the latest windows 10 and nvda. I am using excel 2016.

I created a spreadsheet to track my blood pressure but when I go to enter a
number nvda speaks a prior number. Is there a setting I need to change?
Also I have nvda set to announce headers but, it doesn't do it. Thanks for
any help.
