I was of the same mind as Mr. Mullins until this topic came up and I was disabused of the notion that copy, in particular, is being "hijacked" by the screen reader since what it's copying from is the virtual cursor (virtual buffer), not the webpage itself.

There are tricks one can use though, with the screen reader on and using the standard web browser find, not the screen reader find, to get yourself to the first word or phrase from which you wish to begin selecting, turning off the screen reader, and using keyboard commands to select and copy the text before turning the screen reader on again.   See:  Selecting Text Using Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

These shortcuts do not work in a web browser while the screen reader is active, but they sure do when it's not.  I just experimented on an article from the New York Times using NVDA.  If I did a browser find for the text I wanted as the start of my selection block, turned off the screen reader, and used the appropriate keyboard command to select it and what is beyond it (in my case I used SHIFT+Down Arrow to get a line at a time, intentionally overshooting, then turning the screen reader on again and pasting into MS-Word the formatting of all the click-through links is maintained.  There is some danger in picking up sidebar content you may not want using this method if you're selecting a large chunk of text, so you need to check that you don't have anything extraneous.

But it is a way to get a chunk of text out of a web page with formatting preserved for pasting elsewhere that can keep that formatting, like a word processor.

I also found that the CTRL+A command works to select all from the webpage even when NVDA is on, and if you're good at hacking out all that precedes and follows a passage or passages you wish to retain in a word processor, you can paste the whole article (images and all, including sidebar content) into MS-Word and deal with it there.  Even the HTML structure is pasted into Word and shows up in the navigation pane, if you're using same, so the various headings, etc., are there.

see what they were like.
A tip: when sending dropbox links in the future, if you change the "dl=0" at the end to "dl=1", it will just start the download immediately, instead of making people look for the download link. May help some people.

In a web browser, the text you read with NVDA, is a special reproduction of what was actually on the page. It is called a virtual buffer.
The only time you are interacting with the webpage itself, is when you are in forms mode (focus mode). In order to copy in the way that is desired, you would need to be able to copy in focus mode. Of course, in focus mode, you can't actually hear or read what is being selected.

However, with NVDA+space, you can enter focus mode, use shift+arrow keys to highlight some text blindly, and use Control+C to copy it. Then press NVDA+space again.

At that point, you should be able to paste normally, and get formatting. However, odds are that you won't get the exact same stuff that you were reading before. Things that may have been presented on several lines, for example, may be presented as single selectable elements.

You will have to play with it, and will definitely have to carefully review anything you copy and paste in this way.

Strange Problem With NVDA Remote 2.2

Dave Marthouse <dmarthouse@...>
 

I experienced a strange problem with NVDA Remote 2.2.


When I was doing an install of NVDA on a Windows10 machine NVDA installed with no problems.  When I attempted to install the remote add-on I was informed that Adobe acrobat could not open this program.  I could not install the remote even when I un-installed Acrobat.  I have installed NVDA and Remote on dozens of computers and never experienced this problem.  Does any one have the fix for this puzzler?

NVDA and hackerrank?

Sally Kiebdaj
 

Hello all,

I am not a programmer so in a poor position to judge this for myself but am curious about the compatibility of NVDA and tests put out by hackerrank.com. 

A job to which I  am applying has a test for non-programmers to see how quickly we pick up on rules of a fake computer language. I am trying to determine if I can actually take this test independently and am not getting a response from hackerrank customer service yet. 

Does anyone have experience with them and NVDA?

Warmly,
Sally

Re: tracking down NVDA triggers

I have to go with John on this one.
If you have any third party virus or malware hunters. Then you can have screen notifications pop up and go . With those any screen reader acts the same way.
So I would look for notifications and maintenance software that came with the laptop. All have some type for updating drivers.

Joseph, given what was offered in the original message, I am willing to presume that NVDA debugging, including a possible uninstall/reinstall, has already taken place.  Perhaps it hasn't, but then I'd hope that might be tried as a step.

I stand by my advice, which does not include doing a completely clean reinstall unless all other methods fail.  Doing an SFC and DISM as "good housekeeping" hurts absolutely nothing, and can also serve as a diagnostic step.

There are multiple ways to come at any problem, and I am not about to allow my advice to be grossly mischaracterized.   It's a fairly simple matter to do some significant "Windows 10 Health Checks" to see if something could be wrong.  It has been my experience that when uncharacteristic behaviors such as those described are occurring it's generally not the application program that's at fault.

Hi NVDA users,



As you may know, there exists a website on community add-ons page that
lists
add-ons considered compatible with upcoming NVDA 2019.3/Python 3:

https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/nvdapy3.en.html



Over the last few days, NVDA developers and add-on authors had a discussion
regarding what is considered "compatible". Currently, add-ons with source
code compatibility are considered compatible with NVDA 2019.3/Python 3, and
some authors expressed concerns about compatibility range statements
provided by add-ons via their manifests. Specifically, while some add-ons
were source code compatible, they haven't been updated in a long time and
thus do not either come with compatibility statements or assume old NVDA
releases. The overall conclusion from our discussion is that, while source
code compatibility is a good indicator, this information isn't friendly to
users, and users would look at compatibility range specified by add-ons as
an indicator of whether add-ons are compatible with future NVDA releases.



Based on this, the following change will be made to the above website:



Any add-on that is deemed source code compatible yet do not show manifest
updates will be marked as "incompatible" for purposes of record keeping. In
other words, although an add-on may pass checks based on source code, if it
cannot be installed on latest NVDA stable releases (or for that matter, if
it fails to install on NVDA 2019.3 in any form) due to outdated
compatibility range statements in the manifest, it will be marked as
"incompatible". Exceptions include add-ons marked as "planned" or "work in
progress" - authors are planning to get add-ons ready for NVDA 2019.3 or
work is under way to support NVDA 2019.3 technologies, respectively.



This change will take effect on October 2, 2019. As a result, the following
will happen (some will have to wait for a while to be implemented):



1. The community will be asked to contact authors of add-ons that are
failing compatibility check (source code is ready but cannot be installed
on
NVDA 2019.3). I advise waiting until 2019.3 beta 1 comes out before
initiating this.
2. In the future, when add-ons are going through review process for
registration on community add-ons website, manifest information
(specifically, compatibility statements) will be checked. Details will be
announced when it is time to implement this change (hopefully before end of
this year).
3. For every add-on listed on community add-ons website, compatibility
range statement will be encouraged. This will become mandatory after
details
of compatibility check review (see above) is finalized, hopefully by
January
1, 2020.



Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph

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:



* 63 percent of add-ons hosted on community add-ons website
(addons.nvda-project.org) are compatible with NVDA 2019.3.
* Several authors have indicated plans to introduce Python 3 support
to their add-ons soon, and others are working hard on porting their add-ons
to make them future-proof.
* Notable add-on developers, including makers of Vocalizer series and
DictationBridge, have committed to releasing Python 3 compatible versions
of
their add-ons in the future. In case of Vocalizer series, an alpha version
of old Vocalizer Direct (2.x) is being tested, and a public beta of Python
3
compatible DictationBridge is scheduled to be released shortly after NVDA
2019.3 beta 1 is released.



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
