You can just type %appdata%\nvda into the run dialog and get there.

There's also Explore NVDA user configuration directory in the NVDA folder in the Start menu.

It is also possible to use:

%appdata%\nvda\speechDicts

Absolutely true.  And a great piece of information.   I'm just not presuming that most will be in a context where environment variables are at play when looking for it.

If you're trying to find the folder I noted earlier, and that %appdata% would get you to, in File Explorer you must have set hidden files and folders to be displayed, otherwise the AppData folder is hidden.

I'm sharing this because I don't think it's been shared before. I'd bookmark the below. It has some useful links and lists and more, about using the Chromium based Microsoft Edge with the keyboard. Their grammar errors bug me but I can live with it. There's even a link at the bottom to help you revert back to the old Edge.

Hi,

As part of basic review for add-ons, we the add-ons community look for documentation and ways to improve an add-on’s readme. For the most part, documentation for many add-ons provide essential information, although we must remember that not all authors are well versed in English idioms (I am known for writing good documentation, although I have to constantly remind myself that, as a non-native English speaker, I need to cater to folks like me and also find ways to improve my own add-ons’ docs).

Cheers,

Joseph

The thing is, not many add-on authors are members of users list.

In this case I was referring to those that are and who might make an announcement here, but you bring up a very important point.

I have been disappointed, sorely disappointed, at how little documentation of any sort is available for a great many of the add-ons on both the official and under development pages.  I truly cannot fathom why anyone would dedicate the time and effort, which is substantial, to creating a tool for use with NVDA and then never give a public statement regarding what that tool actually does and how to use it, particularly on the page from which it is downloaded.

There are constantly people arriving who are new to NVDA.  I'm certainly not new to NVDA anymore, but I still have no idea of what a number of the add-ons do.  Whether I use them or not, that information should be front and center on the page where the add-on is obtained.  To my mind, it shouldn't even go up on such a page without documentation.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA gets stuck in certain frames on a Web page

Hi everyone. I am using NVDA 2019.3.1 with Windows 10 and have noticed that
when I use Firefox, NVDA gets stuck in certain frames of a Web page. These
are usually either ads or widgets for sharing to Facebook or Twitter.

I know that there are other Web browsers, and I use them when I need to, but
I do prefer Firefox and have used it for years.

The only way I can find to temporarily fix the problem is to restart NVDA,
but it only works until it finds another frame.

Just wanted to report it in case the developers might have an idea of what's
wrong.

Maria

I believe that I am not the only one having problems with web pages not refreshing when using the latest version of NVDA and Google chrome.
Would it be possible for someone to create a NVDA addon to resolve this issue?

Hi Gene

apologies, in my previous message I had a brainstorm and said that NVDA
kept saying "Confirm", I meant "Unknown".

It seems to say "Unknown" on all the pages I have loaded.

I have also removed all the Mozilla and NVDA files after uninstalling
the programs, and then I have reinstalled them with no luck.

And now I also have this problem that NVDA will not see the external
sound card.

NVDA works perfectly with Chrome.

I am not sure I understand your question about the Taskbar. Firefox
shows up on there.
