Hi,

Personally, I use www.theoldreader.com

I use the web based enveronment in a web browser like chrome, firefox or ms edge.

There are even some extentions for theoldreader around.

On IOS I use both Lire and fieryfeeds, but thats beyond the subject of this list, don't know how the rss frond on android is, these days.

Would love to know what other people do use rss whise.

best, Vincent.

Hello all,

Currently I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird as my RSS reader/client and I'm reasonably happy with it. But there is something missing in Thunderbird's client (and in Thunderbird as a whole), with which I'm not happy. And that is the syncing capability. I want my RSS client to sync my subscriptions between all of my devices (at least the ones on Windows). Thunderbird cannot do that. At least I'm not aware that it can.

So that is why I'm looking for an accessible RSS client for Windows 10 (and Android too, if possible), which is able to sync my RSS subscriptions between all of my devices. Do you know of such a program? Some time ago, I think someone posted something like that, which was fairly accessible and available for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store. I think the poster was Joseph Lee, but I may be mistaking. But I cannot remember the name of the app in question, unfortunately.

Thanks much in advance!

I would advise you to uninstall the Code factory Eloquence before upgrading to 2019.3. Otherwise, you will get a bothersome screen telling you to “please register” for every key you press.

I'm on NVDA 2019.2 and use the CodeFactory SAPI voices. Do I need to update Eloquence to work with the new 2019.3 version of NVDA? If so, please give details.

Hi Gene

It looks as though there are different results depending which way you go in.

For example from the screen reader and I think the donate link on there website it shows buttons and it is the one off donation when it takes you to another page you can not edit.

But if you look say under the down load link page they show as radio buttons and if you pick one off donation it will let you edit the amount to donate but then nothing after that even if you press the enter key there does not seem to be even a button there to do that.

i can see why people are having problems.

I reported the other 2 to quenton but when he replies also add in the one from the down load page which reports differently.

you can have a sus to see what I mean.

I don't know what part of the form you are working with.  if you start with the donate form on the page that discusses downloading and askks users to donate, they are radio buttons.  But I don't know where you are looking.  and I can move through them with r.

 

Are you on a page you get to after you follow the download button and are on the page where you continue after making your selection on the first page?

Hi Gene

NVA says they are buttons not radio buttons so can be skipped down by the letter B

If you then say pick one that you can donate to monthly mine is setup to do with pay pal which I think was one of the options then just a matter of signing in and paying that way.

I see where the problem comes in is a once off donation when it takes you to the next screen you can not edit the amount so most people would stop there and go no further If i did say then go to donate i would be guessing it was the 200 not the lets say 10 bucks.

I would not go any further so no donation that way.

One thing I haven't examined yet fully, but which I think is the case from what I looked at, is that if someone tabs through the radio buttons, which they shouldn't do on an unfamiliar form, only the radio button will be announced and not the associated text.  Someone who knows how to work with forms well won't find this a problem but a lot of blind people don't know how to work with forms well.  If this were changed, it would make it easier for those who aren't good at filling out forms. 

 

That still doesn't tell people if they are in the one time donation or the recurring donation part of the form.  The only way I can see as I think about it now, though there may be others, is to have the form divided with links telling people what they will be working with. 

In other words, at the start of the form, a link would say something like click here to make a one time donation.  On the line below, there would be a link that says click here to make a monthly donation.

As things are now, these parts of the form are on the same page with text telling people where they are.  But a lot of blind people tab through a form or through most of it.  That is, I believe, the result of poor instruction or of people just picking things up as they go. 

 

The form designers need to decide if they want to help people learn to use forms with instructions and keeping the form as it is, or if they want to make the form useable by people who just tab through everything.

 

Earlier, I said that the form should not be dumbed down.  But on reflection, I'll say that it depends on what the designers want to do, to educate in that context or make something so easy to use that it takes nothing but tabbing.

Please explain how the form is badly designed. It can't be simpler.

You need to select what type of donation you want. Either you have a set of radio buttons on the Download page, or a set of buttons on the donate page.

I’m not certain as to who is saying the phrase, “kiss of death” but I agree.

 

It took me well over a year to finally finally set up a small monthly donation to NVDA.  I wonder how many dollars are not getting where they need to go because of a combination of persons with less PC skills and apparently, a web designer or, at least the form designer also having less skills.

 

We need NVDA to grow world wide so more persons will have free access to NVDA.

 

I use Jaws and Narrator too but, NVDA needs to prosper.  I hope some one will fix this unnecessary complicated process.

And, in this case, it seems to be a combination of both, which is often the absolute kiss of death.

Hi Andrew,

There will be an update for NVDA Remote, I don't know exactly when that will be out however.

For Eloquence, if you go to https://codefactoryglobal.com/app-store/voices-for-nvda/ and under the "Get the app" link the first download (the beta version) is the one which is compatible with 2019.3.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Hello list. I found a problem with NVDA 2019.3. When I open up outlook and I use my down arrow key, Nvda doesn’t speak the list of messages, but when I alt tab out of the inbox, and I alt tab back into the inbox, everything works. What could be causing this? This doesn’t happen in NVDA 2019.2.1.

I did not see it either on the addons page.  Clipspeak is still there but it’s the 2017 version witch is not compatible with this newer version of NVDA. Nor is  the Audio Themes addon.  I liked it. Has there been updates to those addons?

Subject: [nvda] ConsoleTimer

 

I don't know if anyone uses ConsoleTimer by Derek riemer

(https://github.com/derekriemer/consoleTimer), but I'm assuming it's

dead based on the fact that I couldn't even find it in the official

addons web site for NVDA.  Does anyone know the status of this addon

or if there is an alternative?  Here's what it does:

 

"When using command lines over ssh, usually, there's network lag. This

lag is expected, however, the way NVDA handles cursor movement is not

friendly with lag in terminals, because this operation is a

synchrinous opperation. This causes NVDA to wrongly report the wrong

letter when moving to another letter with the arrow keys. For example,

if the user is on the p of grep, and they press right arrow, they may

hear "t" instead of space. This is due to NVDA not waiting long enough

to actually properly handle this cursor movement. This addon was

written because I do lots of server administration, and I wanted

cursor navigation to work.

TLDR usage instructions

When in a console, if NVDA is missing or repeating letters as you move

around, simply press nvda+shift+pageup to teach it to be more patient,

or if it is too laggy, press nvda+shift+page down to teach it to be

less patient. This addon will have no affect outside terminals, and

the patience changes by .01 for every keypress.

How to make this work with custom terminals"

 

Thanks,

Gary

Subject: [nvda] Alternatives to quickly change between voices and/or synths?

 

I’ve always with NVDA, because I’m dulingual, have used the Switch Synth AddOn, which isn’t yet compatible with NVDA 2019.3, for via a keystroke switching be using Vocalizer, or ViaVoice, switch quickly between the English or Spanish voice. I tried setting up a profile that’d allow me to do this, but it doesn’t work as I’d like it to, for instance 1 for ViaVoice LatinAmerican Spanish, 2 for American English etc; like I have it set it up with SwitchSynth now. What alternative do you guys have, and will they make the SwitchSynth AddOn compatible? If I do update to the latest NVDA, I plan to continue using (hopefully it’s compatible with the latest version) Synth ring settings selector, however what I don’t like about this one is that when in ViaVoice, you switch to American english, the speed is the same as in the Latin American Spanish; I’d like to have it a little bit slower for English than Spanish. Thanks for any info you guys might have on this matter.
