I tried still once again, with the driver Rui shared with us yesterday, to install, but no luck! Not even with Control+NVDA+s nor within the NVDA Menu does the Vocalizer shortcut appear as it should! I checked my Microsoft Security, but no notification or nothing came up, thus I was beginning to hink maybe the antivirus was the culprit,but no. What else could I try? I know it installed because when NVDA starts up, it says that at least one voice is needed to work Vocalizer; this even after installing the packs for English and Spanish from the site! Shnould I uninstall and reinstall? Because with NVDA EARLIER THAN 19.3.1 IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY! WITH the Vocalizer shortcut and everything! Even weirder, I don’t even get the error of the license activation like you guys. What do you guys think is happening?

I sent an Email previously about my continuing saga with the Tiflotecnia Vocalizer voices; sorry for the bother on this subject... Here’s my log,hoping I can finally know what’s going on with the Vocalizer voices not wanting to cooperate on my system?

Just downloaded a trial of Vocalizeer for windows from A T Guys.  I have it installed and rebooted my computer.  The Vocalizer does not show up in the speech syns on NVDA.  How do you use the Vocalizer for Windows with NVDA?
Thanks

Well, I'm not a NVDA programmer myself, but I would presume that they had good reasons not to automatically refresh the browse mode. Probably it would be pretty disturbing, when you are navigating a website and all a sudden everything changes due to some update of the website.

Hi,

 

Yes that works but isn’t it meant to always do it regardless?

Have you tried the F5 key to refresh the website, or - more likely - the NVDA + F5 key stroke to refresh the NVDA browsing mode?

Hi all,

 

I’m having an issue that I don’t quite know how to solve.

 

On some sites, audible being the chief, whenever I try making changes to a given page it doesn’t seem to refresh properproperly unless I alt tab out of it then alt tab back in.

 

This was happening before the update but I can’t seem to find how you stop it.

 

Can someone please help?

 

Many thanks.

Subject: [nvda] nvda 2019.3.1 with seika braille display

hello,
i have a very old model of seika braille display, i can't remember exactly the type. when i installed the latest version of nvda it stopped working. i went to the user guide and tried to download the updated version of seika driver from the link attached there, but it asked for a username and password and it didn't let me download the driver.
my computer runs with windows 7 64 bit.
thanks for your help

The only thing I wish we could do is lets say you have a computer crash and you are out of activations for eloquence or vocalizer. I wish we could go to a special website, put in our registered license key, press reset button, and our key count or license count will be reset back to 3 installs. You can do this with jaws, so why not vocalizer and eloquence? Its annoying if you have a computer crash and want to get back up right away and if you are out of keys you have to contact your distributor and they have to reset your license back to 3 activations for you. I wish we could do this ourselves like we can with jaws.
