Re: When nvda keeps turning itself on any time another program opens or shuts

Gene
 

In case my previous answer wasn't clear, I'll add that in a previous
post, the person presenting the problem stated that the only way
he/she found to stop the behavior was to turn off run at boot up.
Therefore, I proposed the work around I did.

Re: When nvda keeps turning itself on any time another program opens or shuts

It isn't intended to be a solution. its a work around, allowing the
sighted person to use the computers without NVDA starting whenever
another program is started. It would also allow the blind person to
log in and then manually run NVDA. I am skeptical that a solution
will be found and I think this is a good work around.

I can, but that's not likely to solve what appears to be the core problem:
NVDA coming back on as programs are opened. This is extremely atypical
behavior, as you well know.

Something else is afoot here, and it appears to be afoot on several
computers in the same household that have likely had a great deal of the
same software installed across them.

Hi,
Has anyone had an issue with NVDA where it will not read a misspelled word or the sentence containing a misspelled word in spell check?
I'm running Office 2016 and I'm having that issue.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

I suggest installing JAWS and having it run at startup and not having
NVDA do so. A very good example of where having more than one
screen-reader is very useful. Or, if Narrator can run on the login
screen, that would be something else you could use.

When you know there are thousands, nay, millions who are not having this issue it clearly points to something idiosyncratic to your computers, and likely caused secondary to something you've done.  That's not a criticism nor an accusation, but a fact.

I doubt it's due to Windows 10, per se, but it could be secondary to some slight corruption in your installations.  See my tutorial, Britechguy’s Standard Advice Regarding Windows 10 Issues and Their Repair, and shoot straight to the numbered step, one, and try the SFC/DISM pair on one of your machines and see if that fixes the issue.  Then if it doesn't, try the repair install.

For myself, I would uninstall NVDA first before doing this if you have sighted assistance that makes this possible.  Then reinstall it after either the SFC/DISM pair reports all is well or you've done a repair install. 

And if you haven't tried an NVDA uninstall, system Restart, and NVDA reinstall I would do that prior to doing any of the things I've recommended above, but I am presuming you have done this already.

What you have occurring is uncharacteristic and I have not seen anyone report it prior to yourself.

Re: Possible bug found in the Dropbox add on

I haven't used the add-on but itss reading information Dropbox
displays, not changing or misreading it. My Dropbox often displays

until I saw that the upload speed was the usual one and I found that a

           I have also used the "Contact Us" form on Jonathan's website to make him aware of this post as well.  When this sort of issue occurs, even once, additional provisos regarding the necessary cautions to be taken should be added.

Thanks Daniel.   I honestly can't say whether this is the original developer or not, and the program is correctly spelled as Silenzio.  But even if I search on that, coupled with Bluetooth, I really get nothing useful other than this cautionary post in the JAWS for Windows Group, dating from January 2020:

https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/topic/jaws_2020_speech_issue_with/69701835?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,69701835

So, at this juncture, I would strongly advise anyone who wants to give Silenzio a whirl to manually create a restore point in System Protection as well as taking a full system image backup of their machine prior to installing it.  That way if a System Restore from the restore point fails (which happens more often than many would like to believe) you have a way to restore your system to its pre-Silenzio state.

Hi,

Here’s a link to the direct download from the developer’s site.

I’m not sure if there’s an actual page on his site, however this is the only link that I have.

I have a feeling that my spelling of Silencio is incorrect, but I can pull up nothing via web search on it.  I have tried NVDA with Bluetooth as search terms along with several other variants.

If anyone has the link to the site where this program can be downloaded, and preferably from its developer, would you please share it?
