I just took the time and updated to the latest for NVDA. Everything
seems to be working well. I miss Eloquence and wish it could have
remained but am getting used to David. He sounds decent. Thank you for
making the installation so easy for a novice such as myself. I would
like to thank all those who work on keeping NVDA so easy for us to use.
Please make sure everyone involved gets my thanks.

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,

I have a portable copy I'm going to try tonight. I do use some add ons such as OBJ pad etc. Is there a page thatlists the add ons that already work with 19.3 so when it comes time to install into a full copy, I can just uninstall the portable and go make a real copy? Or can I make a real copy from a portable copy of nvda..

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.

Voice boost put it too fast for me. Thanks for the suggestion though. I will adjust as time goes on.

I forgot to ask one more question. I notice with the speech synthesizer I am using I cannot get it to go as fast as I did with Eloquence. I have it at 100 per cent but it is still not as fast as Eloquence was. If I keep this synthesizer is there some way to work around this. The boost rate option is way too fast for me even at the slowest rate.

Thanks.

Hi all.

While this is probably on topic for access it is a semi complex question so you may want to email me off list if its going to get a bit that way.

I assist with adminning a wordpress site and want to secure it.

I have used 2 factor authentication via text message (sms) and email for a while.

And thought that it may be an alternitive to captcha.

Currently though just about everything I found needs to be setup per user and not inforced by admins or anything.

Most plugins will allow 1 user up to 10 users for free but eventually you need to pay.

I don't think its fair for the users to pay to access a site just for the security to login, and that's my issue.

I have solved this with wordpress verification via jetpack which will protect everyone if they have their accounts in wordpress set for 2fa use and that in itself is fine.

There are ways to doodle with the php code to make it work but I don't have that access and it seems like you need to doodle with every theme on the site you use which is not ideal.

Unless there is a plugin that will by default get people to login with wordpress but at the same time I'd like a way that admins like the owner and myself can enter our passwords as backups would be good.

Sadly the only real solution I have is captcha and encouraging people to use 2fa on wordpress.

Of course it would be nice to just clear all the users and make everyone register and login with wordpress only.

We don't need many users here bare the admin users to be honest.

I use my username for backup and when I don't want to doodle with 2step such as doing admin things rather than posting things but I could use either.

I was thinking about captcha again.

Recaptcha has gotten a lot more stable but I know some have still issues with the audio.

My other idea was logic word or math captcha but are those that secure or should I just drop it.

I know there are google authenticators and the like but what I want is the ability for people to just login and either handle a text message or email and probably backup codes if they need.

I don't need anything totally advanced,  Its easier to put in captcha to be honest but still thats me for the day.

Why does NVDA only look for updates of the type the user last installed?I am thinking of RCs and stable installs. Why not look for any and let the user decide if they want to install them or not?

Thanks.
