Now when I go to chrome it only says unknown. In IE it only reads the title bar. In Edge I get a little more but it drags a lot before saying anything.

Re: Announcing Capital Letters
Gene
It isn’t a question of right or wrong. Your synthesizer may respond,
or respond as you wish at fifthy percent. But Eloquence users would find
fifthy percent to be very piercing and extremely exaggerated. It depends
on the synthesizer, so I don’t suggest or prescribe a general setting.

Re: confused

Its interesting. You have established that the tree view is workihng
properlhy but that NVDA isn’t recognizing it. Are you pursuing this
because you particularly want to use the tree view instead of the list view or
just as a matter of curiosity and interest?

I just looked at the setting in the advanced category. I don't think it applies, but if the check box is checked, uncheck it. I doubt you ever changed the setting but I was trying to think of something that might apply.
Also, though I don't think it would make any difference, have you tried changing the window, maximizing it if it isn't, or restoring it if it isn't?

Is the item view the same as a list view? If so, you can use it very efficiently and, I prefer the list view because nothing automatically opens. Simply back space to move up one level and press enter to open something like a drive or a folder.

I checked the advance option in settings and the box was unchecked. I did look at what it offered but all it did was to cause me to scratch my head. So I turned it back off.

Re: Announcing Capital Letters
Gene
That is not correct. Fifty percent is
extrremely too high pitched for some synthesizers. It may be alright for
others. the default is 30 percent and I wouldn't assume that that is
remotely correct for a lot of synthesizers. also, these settings are all
on by default and they don't change from one synthesizer to another. It is
very unlikely that a new user would turn them off. Therefore, the
problem is very likely related to the synthesizer or some problem with the NVDA
installation.

Hi
Have a look under the following 2 sections in nvda. Press the nvda key + letter N then go to preferences then right to settings then press the enter key.
The 2 categories are speech and keyboard. Have a look under those 2 sections .

Re: Announcing Capital Letters

I suspect you are using the illegal add-on which isn’t supported on the
list. the list can’t, for legal reasons, support oor assist in using such
software. If you want Eloquence that functions properlhy, you can
ppurchase either an add-on for it or an MSAPI version of Eloquence. I and
other list members would be happy to provide more information. You can try
demos of both, if you wish.
Meantime, trhy switching to another synthesizer to see if capital
notification works properly.

Re: Announcing Capital Letters
Gene
You should hear a beep if the caps lock is on and you use the shift key and
type a letter. NVDA by default raises the pitch of capital letters.
If you don’t hear that, what synthesizer are you using. The first thing we
need to determine is whether the problem is a limitation of the synthesizer or
some problem perhaps with the NVDA installation.

Re: Announcing Capital Letters

Hi. If you go to preferences, settings, then speech settings, there are checkboxes that you can check to have NVDA beep or announce capital letters. If you enable these options every time you type a capital letter NVDA will beep and tell you when you have typed a capital letter.

Re: confused
Nathaniel Kile
Hello Robert,
I am new to the list, however I am excited to be here and hope to be able to add my two pennies every now and then in a way that helps. So, I would maybe try to first restart File Explorer to see if that makes a difference at all, this is under your Task Manager with the show more option, arrow down to, "Windows Explorer," no, they haven't changed the name to File Explore, hit your application key and arrow down to restart.
The other thing to check is if all of your screen resolutions and display settings are set to default.
Lastly, you can go into the Explorer settings and select explorer to open up in the Tree view when activated.
Regards,
Nate Kile
