Re: Sample of link in email that will not work properly
What I find works well if Enter doesn’t work is to tab to the link and use the apps key or shift f10 then you can either arrow left/right to open the link or even copy the link to the clipboard.

Hello from the Team at AppleVis.

Consequently, we strongly recommend that you read through this post and any comments before updating—as this will allow you to make an informed decision on whether to install iOS 13 when it becomes available on 19 September; or whether to wait for the release of iOS 13.1 on 30 September, which we believe should resolve many of these issues.

So what will happen to my favorite add-ons in the future: September 2019 update
Hi NVDA users,
At least I’m back in action (slightly reduced workload, but working on NVDA coding here and there) and some news to share with you regarding what will happen to your favorite add-ons in the future.
First, a bit of a background for people who don’t know what I’m talking about:
This past summer (winter for some), I and other NVDA developers worked on preparing NVDA for the future. Specifically, with the impending end of life of Python 2 (the original language NVDA is coded in), the developers felt it is time to shift gears and move onto a more modern way of providing equal access to technology: Python 3. In addition to some exciting enhancements, it brought many changes under the hood that will make NVDA a viable option for all of you in the long term, including some performance enhancements, smooth internationalization, and much more.
One of the questions we received in recent weeks has been about your favorite add-ons and the upcoming NVDA 2019.3, the first version to be powered by Python 3. Although there were initial bumps, I’m delighted to announce that majority of add-ons that you know and love will work with NVDA 2019.3. Take a look at the following items:
The add-ons community expects more add-ons to join the ranks of future-proof add-ons as NVDA 2019.3 release approaches. Until then… Cheers, Joseph

Hi
I wonder if also under the object presentation menu settings in nvda if they have the check box after it also checked called Report background progress bars. This setting is just after the one that says progress bar out put which can be set to beep, speak etc. Uncheck the one after it and see if it goes away. Gene nz

I don't think I ever tried NVDA on Win98 or95 or 3.1. But I have a Win98 machine I may have to press into service. If NVDA won't do it, maybe I'll jhust have to crack JAWS.

Re: ALVA 544 Satellite Traveller braille display with NVDA
Oriana
Forgive me for rambling, but I'm a bit frustrated. I bought a male cable that came with a driver, and a female cable to fit in the unit, but nothing is working. First of all, i cannot find a female rs232-usb cable with a driver at all. Second, apparently the cables cannot be exchanged male for female because there are chipsets that require unique drivers. Third, BRLTTY is doing things that weren't in the documentation and the command line doesn't seem to work because the path wasn't set? Anyway if i could at least get the link to the product that you actually got working that would be great.

Re: odd beeping progress
Yep it's kind of a gate, but I hear a pop when the progress beep quits. I have to turn off speech to hear the full beep at times. It's not a severe bug, but it is odd. Take care all.

I should say, that I definitely experienced this effect (back when I used progress beeps more regularly instead of speech feedback). It reminds me very much of the audio driver dropping packets (a buffer overrun), which I believe usually happens because of processor scheduling issues.
I never really tried to find a solution to it. The other problem it could have been, is your power management aggressively muting audio, and it not coming back up fast enough. If you know audio engineering, this is a case of over-gating, or using a gate with a too high threshold. Quite unexpectedly, the bluetooth audio add-on solved a problem for me in this area, where my system would start deciding that NVDA wasn't talking, and would start turning down the sound to zero. Even now, if I disable the add-on, my audio is clearly gated--sounds like an inverted ducker, where each time NVDA speaks, it does a rapid volume increase from low to normal. Luke

What do you mean about if it was completely clear before you paste? If you write it in Notepad, why can't you check it before pasting it to the clipboard?

Thanks, this is the hit and miss part of adding signatures using the native mail app for Win10. The sad thing is that they know about the problem. The place where you need to place the signature is a graphical field and of course screen readers are clueless about that area. So you may be able to paste but you cannot check to see how correct it is or if it was completely clear before you even paste.
