Hi Chris,

No, it overwrites it.
The error in Betsy's log indicated lines not consistent with the reported error, which I remember already having solved some time ago in some previous version.
I don't know how it is possible, but surely, without knowing it, it is using an old version even if it says to read that it is 7.1.
This is why I advised you to uninstall it and clean% temp from every old add-on file.

Dear list members,

As the subject line indicates, I would like to know if it is possible
to access the formatting options while composing an new email using
the gmail's basic HTML view as it is in the standard view. Please let
me know if this feature is available and if so, the key commands to
get to the formatting options and apply the desired changes in the
body of the email.
Your assistance/guidance is highly appreciated.

With thanks and regards,

Sultana

Hello Mary,

I cannot reproduce the behavior with one of my Kindle books on pc. However, I know that the accessibility features can behave differently whether you are accessing a Kindle book with an Iphone or a pc.

Have you tried switching off the TTS with Ctrl-t? Does this have an affect on NVDA?

Also, I have read somewhere that Kindle for pc needs enhanced type setting enabled in order for the accessibility features to work.

Just my two cents.

Kind regards,

Bianka

Hi

I currently studying this book: https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-2e/

This is not the book written for blind user, but I think it is understanndable. Google search for pythonvis a mailing list for blind people who want to learn programming with Python.

Hi

Can you tell the community what you learn Python for? I think that would make us to give suggestion more easier

Cuong.

hi. i was wondering how can i start to learn a programming language at my own pace with NVDA. please help me to feed my coding hunger. any material or website will be absolutely fine.
the the information is coming from  windows 10 - 64 bit.

Hi Bianka

Thanks for letting me know I passed on what you said to one of my blind friends.

I am not sure if he was still using jaws but inquired about it for a nvda user I think he uses nvda also but has the shark at work but works withwhat works the best.

Hi,

RE: RS-232 to USB 2.0 cable for a braille display.

Sorry about that, I just realised that I hadn't emailed you the link I promised from Ebay!

Anyhow, this guy sells both the female cable and the male cable. On the back of my braille note it is a male connection, so I bought the female RS-232 to USB 2.0 cable to go on there.

It also came with a driver mini CD which works on my Windows 10 operating system.

I just use it as a braille display, rather than a note taker.

Here is the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/RS-232-Serial-to-USB-2-0-PL2303-Cable-Adapter-Converter-For-Win-7-8-MAC-OS-AU/143028406760?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I know that when I enquired here at PBTech (in New Zealand) they only had a male RS-232 to USB cable, but apparently I could have bought an adapter for $10 to change it to female.

I have just had another quick look on Ebay for you. It seems that they also sell the RS-232 gender changers if you wanted to adapt the cable you already have. Sometimes though it is just as easy to get the proper cable already done. I have been happy with the ones that I purchased. They are also nice and long.

Regards,

Gene

This is a message I received on this subject elsewhere. Here you go.

Hello,
I tried FreeMake Video Converter using NVDA.
FreeVideoEditor_1.4.56.703_d.exe
https://www.freemake.com/how_to/how_to_cut_video_quickly

1After installing,  Open freeMake Video Converter

2 from the file menu choose add video
3 from the edit menu, choose edit
4 After the video loads,
Press spacebar to play or pause
press Home to move to start
End to go to the end
press ctrl+L to mark the start
ctrl+R to mark the finish
ctrl+Delete to delete the selected part.
5 Next, tab pass the Rotate 90° CW button.
 Now there will be three unlabeled buttons.
Choose the second button and press enter.
6 Tab to get to the desired format, such as, mp4.
Press enter to choose it.
7 Now tab or shift+tab to the convert button and press enter.
A new screen appears with two options:
1 Convert without logo  button
2 Link
choose this link and press enter.
8 After the video is converted, there will be a OK button, press it.
9 There will be a close button, after pressing it, press alt+F4 to exit the program.
You will need to get someone to view your video to let us know if the Logo is on the entire video, or only at the beginning.
Thanks,
Rob

Well, I really wish Replay Media Splitter was accessible right about now.

That app opens videos extremely fast and I can hit play without it
buffering and freezing.

Virtual Dub is just as bad as Reaper with large videos. I open it, hit
space and it buffers like crazy. I'm not sure what to do about it.
When I hit space it says dub in progress and I can't hit any key to
stop it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If other video editors open
videos and play them back without any issues it can't be a CPU
problem.

This is the link I tried from the email you sent out on Saturday. It still is not working. My daughter thinks the add-on is broken or something. She even looked to see if there were any messages coming up on the screen when it will not allow me to do anything with the cities or settings and nothing is coming up. Did the log I send not show what is going on?

Thanks for all of your help.

If we remoted sometime would that help you see what is going on?

Hi Betsy, I'm sorry, the link was distorted by the next text, here's the correct one:

The link you took me too is not fully in English so I have no idea where the download link is located. There were no other instances of Weather Plus, however.

I deleted the add-on, though.

I reinstalled it from the link we received yesterday and am still not able to select a city. This is really strange as it worked yesterday until I shut down the laptop.

Betsy from Georgia

I have not been able to set a location yet. I sent out the log that shows it would not launch.

Thanks for these tips. I will write them down.

Hi

Once you have set a location, the most frequently used commands are

NVDA+w to read todays forecast

NVDA+Shift+w to read forecast for up to the next 9 days

 

If you try pressing NVDA+w and you get an error saying the WOE Id is missing, you need to set a location, as follows:

 

1. Open the NVDA menu using NVDA+n

2. Press the letter p to open the preferences sub-menu

3. Press the letter s until you find “Weather Plus Settings sub-menu s”, and press enter

4. Press the letter m to open the “Set and manage your cities” dialog box.

5. in the edit box, type in your location and postcode in the form CityName, PostCode

6. Tab to and press "test" button.

7 if the location is valid you can hear a beep , tab to the details button and press it to read the location details.

8. you can set the location as  the Preset default or simply add to your list using the appropriate buttons

9. Tab through the other controls, checking options you want to include in the forecast for your location.

10. When done, tab to OK and press enter

 

If you want to learn more about the other features of Weather_Plus you must read the readme.html file you find on the

nvda menu, preferences submenu, weather plus settings, documentation.

 

Cheers

Chris

Hi, when I arrived home late last night, Saturday, I switched on my pc which uses Windows 10 64 bit and the latest version of NVDA and it asked me if I wanted to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1. I have now the latest version on my pc, but how do I use this addon, ie what keys do I press to get results please?

 

Thanks for any help, Steve Thacker from the UK.

Hi folks,


This might not turn out to be an NVDA issue, but ...


I use the Kindle for PC with NVDA as well as my phone to read Kindle books. I just purchased one which, when I open it, a voice automatically starts reading at a speed that I did not set. It is apparently the tts that goes into action when the Kindle app starts reading something, kind of like what happens when you tell Acrobat reader to read out loud.


In the case of this book, NVDA sees no text at all. All the menus work. But when I do an insert down to start a read all from the selected chapter in the table of contents, nothing is read by NVDA. On my phone using the Voice Over screen reader, this book reads just fine, thank you very much.


I am aware that there are a few books that you can't read with a screen reader, period. But this doesn't seem to be one of those, since it is working fine on my phone. Is there some setting I'm missing that would allow me to use NVDA and my preferred voice and speed over the speech that comes from the Kindle program itself?
