Hi gene

I just had a look at what I had typed and followed the steps as in the tutorial.

When it says choose a device in this case there was only one it did not have to be selected at all it was default.

It is a combo box and if I say press the space bar on it then say use alt key + down arrow key it will open it up but there are no other options there even though it says 1 of 2.

It when written was for the speakers that most people have plugged in.

it might be different if there was a second sound out put there may be other options.

In this case the combo box I think it is can either be opened with the space bar then arrowed down or the alt key + down arrow key will do the same then arrow down if other options were there. In this case not.

When you say choose your device, it would be good to say after that to up or down arrow to select a device, even if there is only one.  That is, if it is that way in Windows 10.  In Windows 7, even if there is only one device, you have to up or down arrow to select it.  The space bar doesn't work and if nothing is selected, there is nothing but an o.k. button.

Hi


if it is the sound enhancements doing it one of the tutorials I have not
posted yet might help it is a draft where to look.


Disabling sound enhancements in Windows

Sometimes when there is an update for Windows, you may hear a buzzing
sound (and other strange noises) from the computer while using NVDA.

If this is the case, you will need to turn off sound enhancements in
Windows for your sound card. The steps to turn it off may be similar for
other Windows 10 computers.

Press the Windows key, and in the search box type sound settings. When
it comes up with this result, press the Enter key. The first option
might say Choose your output device Speakers (High Definition Audio
Device). Next, tab once to device properties, then press the Enter key.
The next screen that comes up will say home. If you tab about 7 times
you will then hear NVDA say Additional device properties. Press the
enter key.

The next screen should come up with speaker properties. Shift tab back
once or twice - until you hear NVDA say General. There are 5 tabs there.
Use your right arrow key to get to the enhancements tab, then tab a
couple of times until you hear NVDA say Disable all enhancements. This
should be a check box. Please note, in some cases, after you tab once
(after the enhancements tab) you might need to arrow down or tab to
locate the disable all enhancements checkbox. You will hear other stuff
for the sound card being spoken out, but they can be left unchecked. You
will need to tab to hear the "disable enhancements" checkbox if you
arrowed down the list of enhancements and check the checkbox with the
Spacebar. You will then need to apply and ok your changes with the Spacebar.

Now, those weird buzzing sounds etcetera should be gone!

Should I then ignore the warning that Windows Defender is giving when it blocks the latest NVDA remote, claiming that there is a severe trojen?

Since we are close to stable phase of the nvda 2019.3

Hi Robert,

 

Thanks for the question.  Firstly, for everyone, We've pushed out a couple of pull requests to update NVDARemote for 2019.3, so that will be available for the stable version.

 

As to including NVDA Remote into NVDA itself, even though many users use it frequently and it is vital for some users, it is not something we are looking at bringing into core at this point, One reason for this is we have a number of users in corporate environments and we would get a lot of pushback from them (or their IT people at least) on updating NVDA to a version with that functionality.

 

The main thing is that the functionality will continue to be available going forward, even though at this point that will still involve the separate add-on.

 

Regards

 

Quentin.

This is slight progression from the previous beta so you shouldn't notice too many big changes - of course as always happens, as we move closer to the final release, we don't put as many big new features in, but rather try to ensure that everything is stable and fix bugs people have reported in previous betas.

Hi

are you talking about the add on that after a second or 2 would say the letter  it was on like A  for alfa B for bravo etc.

I just can not think what that add on name was called.

are you aware also you can find out what the letter is on the numeric keypad if using the review cursor

Hitting the number 2 of the numeric keypad 2 times would say it like that or 5 on the numeric key pad would do the word if hit 3 times..

Pressing enter has nothing to do with selecting a device in a standard list, or selecting a file or anything else.  Pressing enter executes a left click on the chosen item.  You are in a dialog with a list.  You select the item by arrowing to it and then you tab around the dialog.  Its selecting the item that causes the dialog to show relevant controls or whatever else is provided for. 

 

I don't know if you can use space to select an item in Windows 10 in the list or equivalent list we are discussing.  You can't in Windows 7.  You must use the up and down arrow keys.

In this case, when you select by using the up or down arrow? Do you hit the enter key so that your device is chosen? I did this when I got my ten box. I don’t remember doing this with windows 7.  I don’t know why I did not hit the space bar when choosing a device. I just hit enter and the device was chosen.

Hi.
I found a problem with beta3 which didn't exist in the previous beta.
We seam to have an issue with the address bar of google chrome canary.
If we use the left and right arrow keys to read the address we just typed,
or if we want to make changes, the error sound plays and nvda doesn't read
any characters.

Fortunately chrome stable works fine which is the one most people are
using.

Hi.
I found a problem with beta3 which didn't exist in the previous beta.
We seam to have an issue with the address bar of google chrome canary.
If we use the left and right arrow keys to read the address we just typed,
or if we want to make changes, the error sound plays and nvda doesn't read
any characters.

Fortunately chrome stable works fine which is the one most people are
using.
Thanks
Nikos

Hi everyone,

As you are all quick off the mark, this isn't completely new news, but
confirming that yes, NVDA 2019.3 beta 3 is now available from:
https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2019-3beta3-now-available-for-testing/

This is slight progression from the previous beta so you shouldn't notice
too many big changes - of course as always happens, as we move closer to
the final release, we don't put as many big new features in, but rather
try
to ensure that everything is stable and fix bugs people have reported in
previous betas.

If you do encounter any issues, please do report them:
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues If you could also clarify
whether they are new issues or existing issues (which hadn't previously
been reported) that would be really helpful - both are important to know
about, but being able to pinpoint when something started being an issue
helps narrow down where to look for a fix.

All things going well, this will be the last beta before the release
candidate, which will be just before the final stable release.

Kind regards

Quentin.

When you say choose your device, it would be good to say after that to up or down arrow to select a device, even if there is only one.  That is, if it is that way in Windows 10.  In Windows 7, even if there is only one device, you have to up or down arrow to select it.  The space bar doesn't work and if nothing is selected, there is nothing but an o.k. button.

Hi


if it is the sound enhancements doing it one of the tutorials I have not
posted yet might help it is a draft where to look.


Disabling sound enhancements in Windows

Sometimes when there is an update for Windows, you may hear a buzzing
sound (and other strange noises) from the computer while using NVDA.

If this is the case, you will need to turn off sound enhancements in
Windows for your sound card. The steps to turn it off may be similar for
other Windows 10 computers.

Press the Windows key, and in the search box type sound settings. When
it comes up with this result, press the Enter key. The first option
might say Choose your output device Speakers (High Definition Audio
Device). Next, tab once to device properties, then press the Enter key.
The next screen that comes up will say home. If you tab about 7 times
you will then hear NVDA say Additional device properties. Press the
enter key.

The next screen should come up with speaker properties. Shift tab back
once or twice - until you hear NVDA say General. There are 5 tabs there.
Use your right arrow key to get to the enhancements tab, then tab a
couple of times until you hear NVDA say Disable all enhancements. This
should be a check box. Please note, in some cases, after you tab once
(after the enhancements tab) you might need to arrow down or tab to
locate the disable all enhancements checkbox. You will hear other stuff
for the sound card being spoken out, but they can be left unchecked. You
will need to tab to hear the "disable enhancements" checkbox if you
arrowed down the list of enhancements and check the checkbox with the
Spacebar. You will then need to apply and ok your changes with the Spacebar.

Now, those weird buzzing sounds etcetera should be gone!
