Re: Accessable antivirus program

A third for Windows Defender/Windows Security if you are using Windows 8.1 or 10.
If you're still on Windows 7, now is the time to upgrade to Windows 10, as it's barely over 1 month until it falls out of support. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor. ~ Robert Frost, The Black Cottage (1914)

Re: Using an External Numpad
Luke Davis
Can you tell me the brands and maybe even model numbers?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
From the research I've been doing in the last couple hours, it seems to be that most external numpads just send the keyboard version of the number-row scancodes, not the numpad version. Therefore Windows has no way of knowing that there is a separate keyboard involved. Some of the really expensive stuff, like Leopold brand (but not all of them) appear to send the correct sequences, but most of the cheap stuff apparently doesn't, or it's a crap shoot at any rate. But, I'm not paying over $100 for a number pad. Luke

I use NVDA exclusively on four or five computers and listen to internet radio with winamp on all of them. It works well.

I use windows defender. That's pretty accessible. With that, I don't need another antivirus program.

Dezember 2019 21:16 To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: [nvda] Using an External Numpad Hello Well, it has finally happened again: I have obtained a laptop with no numpad. Since I actually intend for this to be portable (not a desktop replacement, in other words), and I hate the laptop layout, I thought I could just plug in an external numpad, switch to desktop layout, and poof. But no joy: the numpad does not get grafted on to the existing keyboard as if the keyboard had a numpad. Even in desktop mode, the keys are read as home, end, pgup, pgdn, etc.. Is there some known way to cause an external numpad to be perceived by NVDA as a built in numpad for purposes of the desktop layout? I have tried remapping with gestures, but that just results in things like the up arrow key becoming unavailable on the regular keyboard (being mapped to read current line instead of just the numpad 8 I intended). I suppose I may need to find a way to cause Windows not to replicate the normal keyboard scancodes when the numpad is used. Luke

Accessable antivirus program
#addonrelease
Oleksandr Gryshchenko
Hello friends!
Please advise a good antivirus for Windows with an accessible interface for screenreaders. I'm currently using "Avast Internet Security", but it is completely inaccessible to NVDA. Thank you for any advices! Oleksandr, Ukraine

Re: Does NVDA work with gaming keyboards?
leochick78@...
Yes, Gene, I thought of that and tried it with no effect. Tyler, it is my husband's keyboard and it works for him. I am used to using an ancient laptop with JAWS is why I am questioning the keyboard. No special anti-virus. Thanks all, I will keep working on it.

Re: Does NVDA work with gaming keyboards?
Tyler Spivey
What makes you think it's the keyboard? Does the keyboard work?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Do you, perhaps, have an antivirus program that might be intercepting the keys?

Hi
I do not know about gaming keyboards but if it is a web page you need to be in browse mode for the quick navigation keys to work not in focus mode.
It sounds like you are not in browse mode so there might of be a edit box?
You can change to browse mode with nvda key + space bar.

It is, or was, an add-on. Don't know if it will be brought forward to work with next NVDA version, however.

Re: Accessing alerts on webpages
leochick78@...
Sorry for forgetting to include browser info, etc. I am using Firefox Quantum, Windows 10, NVDA 2019 (first version, I think.) I have that trouble with the alert being interrupted by the loaded page starting to read so I don't always get the alert commands. I turned off the alerr to ask if one wants to save the password for sites and that has helped. Does IE still exist? Thanks for all the help.
