NVDA not so laggy on File Explorer

David Griffith
 

Just to say that my initial feedback on installing NVDA 19.3 RC2 is that there has been a dramatic improvement in the lag that plagued  previous installations of NVDA when trying to open large file directories in Windows file Explorer (Windows 10 19.09 ).  This problem appears to have pretty much disappeared so far. I used to have to use the work around of loading Narrator to review file names in a windows explorer  window until NVDA would catch up and start talking again.

This was not a problem with other screenreaders.

It appears now that is also not a problem with NVDA – I don’t know if this was an anticipated improvement but I thought I would report it anyway.

Quentin,

I downloaded and installed the RC and I am very pleased so far. The licence agreement at the start and the automatic speech was very impressive. I actually listened to the whole agreement!

I had not seen the speech control and selection before so this looks new to me. It gives so many choices that it should be possible for a comfortable voice to be found. I prefer Eloquence and had been running the add-on up to now. I have achieved almost the same voice that I am used to so I'll see how that settles down for my ear!

Congratulations to the whole team and thanks for all the hard work. 

All the best,

Re: NVDA 2019.3 RC 2 is released

Hi Raha, I'm not familiar with this add-on, is it listed on https://addons.nvda-project.org/index.en.html ?

NVDA 2019.3 has required most addons to update to Python 3 in order to remain compatible.  You may need to download a new version of the add-on in order to use it with NVDA 2019.3  If there isn't a new version, I would encourage you to write to the add-on author to encourage them to update their add-on.

The add-ons we know the status of are listed on https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/nvdapy3.en.html  

Kind regards

Quentin.

Add-on Updater 20.02 released #addonrelease

Joseph Lee
 

Hi all,

 

Add-on Updater 20.02 is now available. This is identical to version 20.01.1 with updated localizations applied.

 

Important: after installing this version and restarting NVDA, NVDA will present a compatibility reminder dialog about various add-ons. Please read the dialog (or listen to the content) carefully and take appropriate action.

 

Cheers,

Joseph

Subject: [nvda] Joseph Lee's add-ons and NVDA 2019.3: release schedule for next add-on releases in preparation for 2019.3 stable

Hi all,

 

NVDA 2019.3 RC (release candidate) was declared, one of the final betas that will be identical to upcoming NVDA 2019.3 stable release unless critical issues emerge. Therefore I hereby announce the schedule for add-on releases from me that are NVDA 2019.3 compatible (or requires NVDA 2019.3):

 

  • Add-on Updater: version 20.02 will hit the air tomorrow. This is a mandatory update for all Add-on Updater users. Feature set is identical to latest version with localization updates and makes provision to support future NVDA releases. Also, 20.02.x will be the last version to support NVDA 2019.2.1 – a March release will require support for 2019.3 and later.
  • StationPlaylist and Windows 10 App Essentials: 20.02 release for these add-ons will be made available within 48 hours after 2019.3 stable is released. These add-ons require NVDA 2019.3 to install and function, and starting from 20.02, Windows 10 App Essentials will also require Windows 10 Version 1903 (May 2019 Update/build 18362).

 

As for other add-ons such as Resource Monitor, no 20.02 releases for them at the moment; note that all of them require NVDA 2019.3.

 

Special notice for DictationBridge users: version 1.1, compatible with NVDA 2019.3, will be released by end of this week.

 

Related to this: if you visit community add-ons website and select any of my add-ons, you’ll see a link to download an older release supporting NVDA 2019.2.1 or earlier. These links will be removed 30 days after NVDA 2019.3 stable version is released.

 

Cheers,

Joseph

Re: Copy Command Not Echoed

Gene
 

Is it updated, or will it be, for the new forthcoming NVDA version?  The Clipspeak page doesn't show anything for a new version under development and the compatibility information says:
2018.3 to 2019.3.
 
What does that mean?  Does that mean the add-on doesn't need any additional work to remain compatible with the soon to be released version of NVDA?

Hi


Is it associated with the browser or a browser.


What may happen is when you go into the whats new section you might have
to tell it what browser to use and check the box so it does it from then on.

Yes:  https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/clipspeak.en.html

I would also suggest that when people want to know whether there's an NVDA add-on that they might want to look at the NVDA Add-Ons Page to find out - FIRST.  That's why it exists.

Accessibility issue with debotnet

William
 

Hi,

        debotnet is an open source software that can configure to enhance the security and privacy of win 10, and can perform some specific tasks that is not straight forward under win 10.

When I use the app  I came across with accessibility issue, and reported to the authoer on github.

However the author stated that /she has no idea on how to address this issue.

I here post the respective issue link, https://github.com/mirinsoft/debotnet/issues/25#issuecomment-581394577


anyone know how to explain to software author on how to fix these accessibility issue.
