Hi,

as I tryed to state, I want typed characters set to off! :-)

But still one has to get feedback on typed characters in word mode - they cannot be ignored, they have to be spoken as words then.

If someone wants spoken words feedback, it does not mean, that he does not care about which characters he typed ;-) ...as this smiley for example. I now did not hear if it was typed or not. I also do not get feedback about the "," and "." ...this is defenitely not how someone can write, even in speak-words mode.

I will restart the computer, but would be very surprised if that changes something ...

cheers

Martin

Hi Martin,

Have you restarted the computer since you updated NVDA?  I just tried type a. with speak typed characters on, and NVDA read "A dot" just as you expected.  I don't have Eloquence, but it worked the same with eSpeak and with Windows OneCore voices.

Occasionally you get random bugs (such as this) after installing or updating the software but before restarting the computer.  Restarting the computer shuts everything down and loads again from scratch so usually fixes up these random on-off issues.

Also double check that you have speak typed characters on as well :)

Kind regards

Quentin.

What is the Java program you are using which doesn't work?  Have you got a link to its website please?

Also have you restarted your computer since updating NVDA?  (It's worth doing that just because sometimes random things can misbehave in that time between updating software and restarting the PC).

Kind regards

Hello,

as anounced I looked up the version of NVDA where it last worked correctly:

nvda v2019.2.1 gives the feedback as expected.

a "." is spoken emedeately. Other "words" are spoken on space or at the keypress of such special characters.

In V2019.3.1 special characters still trigger speaking of words, but are not spoken themselves.

This should be fixed as soon as possible as typing in word mode is no longer manageable.

cheers

Martin

Hi again,

 

the reboot did not change anything - as expected.

 

@Ralf I had 2019.2 (do not know which one exactly) installed on this computer (and still have it on my notebook) and there it works as expected.

   when I get back home, I can look at the version of nvda where it worked last.

 

cheers

Martin

Hello Rui, I have try to remove the activation but it doesn't work. Now I can't do anything with my activation, I can't check activation count or delete it and I can't change my credential from the menu too. I tried to remove the driver and reinstall it but it just doesn't work.

Rui, an important question:
if a user install the new driver, is it possible to deactivate the old license from the new driver?

Il 12/02/2020 02:05, Rui Fontes ha scritto:

Hello!


The activation is removed through the NVDA/Vocalizer Expressive menu.

It will take some hours to be available again, and you will receive an e-mail notifying you that the activation is again available...

Sorry Rui,
I downloaded the vocalizer add on you recommended in your link and re-downloaded the voices I need and installed all of them, but it did not help. This time I did not get a message that they are not compatible, but I got no speech at all. How do I remove the installation activation of the vocalizer so that I can reuse it?  I do not want to lose one activation trying and failing.
I now reinstalled NVDA 2019.2 and everything is working normal.
Where can I find the instruction on how to remove the activation and restore it in another installation?
