Re: Does nvda work with Microsoft teams?
Pramit
Hi Gene, Microsoft Teams is completely accessible with NVDA. Have used it on my Windows computer and haven't found any difficulty with it. Sharing some links from Microsoft Support and will be of help to anyone using Microsoft Teams The above link has all the information together at one place including setup and functionality, including the Microsoft Teams app download link. Hope this helps Pramit

expanding links that won't expand
I can't really describe this well, but there are links on some pages where if you click them, a menu pops out. I can get this to work on the mac but not that much in windows under nvda 19.2 and 19.3, actually I've ben having the issue since last year. I think they call these fly out menus. I think this is the job of the web dev to fix but is there a work around i"m missing. Here's an example
Take care and I hope that helps a bit. And by the way contacting these devs is not that easy. I've already tried, they don't really care. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .

Re: NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature
David Csercsics
I'd assume the 64-bit Thunderbird would be supported, because you can get the 68.6 builds from the download page. True it's not the default option, but it works here. I don't know about the alpha build though. I expect they wouldn't test that much with stable NVDA.

This is true. I might roll back and see
how it goes.

Reports of these issues are very valuable, but you really can't expect that anyone will devote a lot of time to them until the release candidate stage is reached unless it happens to be convenient. Definitely give the feedback to the folks at Mozilla just like you did here. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Re: Windows10Mail i selection view? To say Selected or Unselected before anything else?
Gerardo Corripio
Using the Windows10 native Mail app, put yourselves into Selection View, and space to select or unselect an Email, right? I’d like for NVDA tell you before anything else (subject and other info) when an Email is selected and unselected, while arrowing up or down through the Emails within the Selection View. That way, I could remind myself which Emails have been selected, and in case I think twice about having selected one, I could unselect it. Make sense?

i am confused. Why would an email be selected if your cursor was not on it/ ****** If we don't take time to think before we speak we may find ourselves in a situation where our speech becomes a bit stinky!

who would need to Intigrate code, so that while in the Windows10 Mail app, in Selection view, when arrowing up and down through EMails, I’d know if a message is selected or unselected, before speaking anything else like the subject etc? I know that not everyone Would be happy with this option as default, thus maybe a toggle would be useful, it if if it were to be implemented someday? The selected/unselected status at the beginning of the speech stream, for me at least, would make it more efficient to go through mails while in Selection view.

Re: NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature
It's one of those things where I don't think they officially support the 64-bit version. Who knows why? Might be worth going back to that older, official, version.

Re: NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature
Quentin Christensen
Is there something new in the Thunderbird betas perhaps? I just tried with alpha-19867,54f1b727 on Thunderbird 68.6.0 32-bit (the latest regular version?) and it read as normal, so it looks like it's something changed in Thunderbird, and might be worth contacting Mozilla perhaps? Does it do the same thing if you use NVDA 2019.3.1? I didn't notice a difference in Thunderbird 68.6, but if you could provide exact steps to repeat and exactly what superfluous information is being read I can double check. Regards Quentin.

Re: Some 2019.3 questions
Quentin Christensen
Hi Clement, 1) Speech History is the new version of Clip Copy: https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/speech_history.en.html 2) The supported version for Switch Synth isn't listed on https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/switchSynth.en.html however, according to the list of add-ons and python 3 compatibility: https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/nvdapy3.en.html it is listed as being compatible. 3) Ok you've asked three questions here! 3a) I don't know for sure, but at a guess, some of the OneCore voices were likely based off previous SAPI5 voices, which would explain the two versions - otherwise, I'm not sure, you could ask Microsoft? 3b) auto language switching is a thing but it relies on the document advising of the language / language changes - that might explain why it works in some documents and not others? 3c) Updating voices - we update to newer builds of eSpeak-NG periodically, so one version of NVDA might (but not always) use a newer build than the previous version. For Windows OneCore voices, I expect Microsoft updates those themselves - whether they get pushed out invisibly, or as part of Windows updates, I'm not sure. For other voices (eg Eloquence or Acapela), they do get updated from time to time, you'll need to follow their retailers for updates. Kind regards Quentin.

Before we get into debugging things, can you try running with add-ons disabled (press NVDA+Q, select "restart with add-ons disabled") and see if NVDA slows down? Cheers, Joseph

Tony's enhancement add on.
This was just posted on the community add ons site so I thought that I would share it here. random aside, The mods can add the NV Access and NVDA community add on RSS feeds to this group if they wish, but below is the page. This add on has a lot of enhancements bundled into 1 add on so it would be best to just read the add on description. https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/tonysEnhancements.en.html • Authors: Tony Malykh • Download stable version • NVDA compatibility: 2019.3 This add-on contains a number of small improvements to NVDA screen reader, each of them too small to deserve a separate add-on. This add-on is only compatible with NVDA versions 2019.3 and above. Enhanced table navigation commands• Control+Alt+Home/End - jump to the first/last column in the table. • Control+Alt+PageUp/PageDown - jump to the first/last row in the table. • NVDA+Control+digit - jump to 1st/2nd/3rd/... 10th column in the table. • NVDA+Alt+digit - jump to 1st/2nd/3rd/... 10th row in the table. • NVDA+Shift+DownArrow - read current column in the table starting from current cell down. Dynamic keystrokesYou can assign certain keystrokes to be dynamic. After issuing such a keystroke, NVDA will be checking currently focused window for any updates and if the line is updated, NVDA will speak it automatically. For example, certain keystrokes in text editors should be marked dynamic, such as Jump to bookmark, jump to another line and debugging keystrokes,such as step into/step over. The format of dynamic keystrokes table is simple: every line contains a rule in the following format: appName keystroke where appName is the name of the application where this keystroke is marked dynamic (or * to b marked dynamic in all applications), andkeystroke is a keystroke in NVDA format, for example, control+alt+shift+pagedown. Real-time console outputThis option is disabled by default and must be enabled in the settings. This option makes NVDA to speak new lines immediately as they appear in console output, instead of queueing new speech utterances. There is also an option to beep on command line updates - this would give you a better idea when new lines are printed in the console. Beep when NVDA is busyCheck this option for NVDA to provide audio feedback when NVDA is busy. NVDA being busy does not necessarily indicate a problem with NVDA, but rather this is a signal to the user that any NVDA commands will not be processed immediately. NVDA volume • NVDA+Control+PageUp/PageDown - adjust NVDA volume. This option controls the volume of NVDA speech as well as all the other sounds and beeps produced by NVDA. The advantage of this option compared to adjusting volume of a speech synthesizer, is that it affects the volume of all the beeps proportionally. Blocking double insert keystroke In NVDA pressing Insert key twice in a row toggles insert mode in applications. However, sometimes it happens accidentally and it triggers insert mode. Since this is a special keystroke, it cannot be disabled in the settings. This add-on provides a way to block this keyboard shortcut. When double insert is blocked, insert mode can stil be toggled by pressing NVDA+F2 and then Insert. This option is disabled by default and must be enabled in the settings.
