I haven't used it but it is a part of NVDA.  Others will have to discuss it.

Oh, they're probably still on the screen when they get interrupted,
unless they disappear after a certain amount of time. Some do I imagine,
but I'll bet others don't, e.g. something that's asking if you want
notifications from a site. Also, I have no idea what you mean by "speech
history". So far as I can tell it's not part of standard NVDA anyway.

Re: Donating via FB campaign

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your support!  Unfortunately at this time, donating directly through Facebook is only available for charities registered in a handful of countries.  NV Access is registered in Australia and reading https://www.facebook.com/help/1251484118194936 confirms Australia is not yet on the list.  I don't know what facebook's rollout plans for this feature are so I can't give you a possible timeline of when it might be available.  In the meantime, your best option for donating is via https://www.nvaccess.org/support-us/#donation-support - we use PayPal because they're well known and have low fees compared to most methods. You don't need a PayPal account to donate however, you can use the system with a credit card without logging in to a PayPal account.  There are also bank transfer details on the page, but please check the international transfer fees with your bank first as they tend to eat up quite a large proportion of most transfers.  (I appreciate those current donation options likely won't fit with being able to donate directly through Facebook - we'll certainly look at it again when it becomes available to Australian charities).

Kind regards

Quentin.

Re: accessing embedded video links in Power point slides

Quentin Christensen
 

If you are able to share the file with me personally offlist (I won't share it further), I can have a look and see what I can learn from it - as well as being in the middle of writing the "Microsoft PowerPoint with NVDA" training material, I am also filing lots of issues (or confirming existing issues) in both our own issue tracker - https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues and with Microsoft.

During this process, while I can work my way through all the features of the software, it's always good to get some real world examples like yours which demonstrate the interesting ways those features are used.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Re: Where I can find the latest version of Winamp?

Hi gene,

I have version of Nvda 2019.2.1 and it's the latest version.


Jarek
Dne 03.12.2019 v 18:32 Gene napsal(a):

I just checked and the add-on is in the stable add-ons section of the site.  Since it isn't in the legacy add-ons section, that may mean that it is compatible with the current NVDA.  others may comment who know a lot more about that.  You may want to try the earlier Winamp to see if the add-on works but you may want to wait for other comments.

If that means what it appears to mean, it means the add-on hasn't been revised and may not work with the new version of NVDA.  Others will, I hope, comment.
 
There is nothing in the description to say what it is compatible with.

I'm not sure if you can see them again.  Every now and then, I've looked around but I often haven't found them.  I wonder if they can be heard in speech history.  If speech is interrupted by new speech, I wonder if everything that would have been spoken is in speech history.

To be fair, it's not that simple. A lot of times for me, alerts get
interrupted by some other web event, and i only get part of them. So
having a way to access them would be pretty handy. Suppose for example
that a page is loading. An alert pops up, but then the page finishes
loading and NVDA begins reading the page. There goes the alert message.

Re: Track Changes, The NVDA Manual?

Robert Kingett
 

As Joseph said, switch to Browse mode, then hit A to cycle through all annotations. The elements list is best for reading comments. I have yet to find a good keyboard shortcut to delete comments though. Microsoft's track changes article helps a lot but I feel as if I am doing too much navigating and not enough action is being taken.

It would help if you added some stuff in the quick access bar, at the very top, or bottom, of the ribbon.

Hi,
The fastest way to move through annotations like comments and track changes is by pressing letter A (for annotations) and Shift+A to move backward (in browse mode).

Re: Where I can find the latest version of Winamp?

Shaun Everiss
 

The only issues I have had with winamp is after or during seeking through sid and nsf and other chip files that probably don't support it as such winamp will crash.

If playing files with non standard headers in standard wav output mode winamp will crash to.

If you need to play a large number of files like that using direct sound or wasapi will fix that though playing a large number of files will eventually crash the program.

To be honest, if you have a series of plugins and such and are happy with 5.666 there is probably no real reason to bother upgrading to 5.8.

The only reason 5.8 is out is it was leaked by others and radiognome decided to just put it out there instead.

Winamp 6 is taking ages and the winamp community project or wacup has winamp 5.666 as their own animal now which will compete with winamp.

However they only use the last official aol released version of 5.666 as base.

If you don't have a configuration like a lot of those that had winamp before its shutdown a few years ago, you may want to use wacup which has everything in it.

I'd kill the zip plugin though as that will open all zip files to play things and while I see why you would do it, just like in vlc, by default windows will open zip files in winamp which is no good for normal use.

Saying that even though I havn't and probably won't I would encourage those that want it to use fubar or something.

Pritty much all development on winamp has stopped including plugins mainly because everyone is waiting for winamp 6.

If you have a stable plugin configuration and backups of it and it just worked I wouldn't do that either.

If winamp has something it doesn't like it will crash.

I had to throw out several older plugins because they were crashing winamp.

I have to have a couple module plugins installed to because not everything plays with newer open mpt so I need to use bassmod to for example.

I havn't gone the wacup root but if anything else breaks I may have to do so.

The best winamp versions mind you are 5.3 or even 2.95 which used older systems anyway but if you stream stuff it will not be the best for you.

Subject: [nvda] Where I can find the latest version of Winamp?

Hello group,

I have downloaded the Extended Winamp Nvda addon, and I would like
download a new version of Winamp.

Could you advice, please, where I can find it?

I found beta of Winamp 5.8, but I would like to download a stabile version.

I just checked and the add-on is in the stable add-ons section of the site.  Since it isn't in the legacy add-ons section, that may mean that it is compatible with the current NVDA.  others may comment who know a lot more about that.  You may want to try the earlier Winamp to see if the add-on works but you may want to wait for other comments.

At the bottom of the page for this add-on it says, Last edited Sat Jun 3 03:33:13 2017
If that means what it appears to mean, it means the add-on hasn't been revised and may not work with the new version of NVDA.  Others will, I hope, comment.
 
There is nothing in the description to say what it is compatible with.

I don't know.  Others may say if the add-on works in that version of Winamp.  Also, it may be that the add-on isn't compatible with the version of NVDA you are using.  I haven't heard the add=-on discussed to any extent.

Hi Gene, thank you.

I have downloaded and installed Winamp 5.8 and I have downloaded also an Extended Winamp for Nvda. But it seems that the addon Extended Winamp does not work.

What can I do, for it could work?

Re: Accessing alerts on webpages

Gene
 

What browser are you using?  It is the browser that displays these kinds of alerts in certain places, whether they originate from the browser or the web page.  If you let the entire message speak and don't interrupt it, you should hear choices with commands for them like allow, alt a don't allow, alt d.  I made up those choices and letters but I make sure to listen to all speech and pay very close attention to the choices and commands. 
 
I'm not sure if and how you see these things after they have spoken.  If an unfamiliar message occurs, unless you know it is of no interest, don't stop it and pay very close attention to see if any choices and commands are given if the message is that kind of message.

How does one access alerts on a webpage?  Like the would you like to save this password alert or answer an incoming chat request on a chat help page?

Thanks for any help,
