Re: most accessible audio recording software with nvda
There are a number of accessible recording programs. The first
question is how you want to use it. If you just want to record and edit
mp3 files, MP3 Direct Cut is the program to use. For other purposes, other
programs can be discussed.

Does nvda work with Microsoft teams?
hello everybody
I have installed today Microsoft team app For Windows ten 64 bit
I am working with NVDA 2019.3.1 with vocalizer Expressive addons for NVDA with English and Hebrew voices
the problem I have with Microsoft teams is that when moving between different programs ,and then returning to Microsoft teams app I no longer hear NVDA speech on the Microsoft teems app. NVDA keeps speaking on windows in all of the programs I use to work with but not on Microsoft teems app. I can see the focus moves between the different elements of the program but no speech .by the way this is happens also with JAWS 2019. Only if I restart my computer and then restart NVDA and then open the Microsoft Teams app ,NVDA works with speech on the app .
Also I have tried to change TTS to the windows one core voice and two other voices - and the issue still happening.

Or, if you decide you want to be on a beta channel, hold up your
end of the bargain: report bugs.
While it's fine to try out beta software and ditch it if it
doesn't work (yet), if something as critical as what has been
described here occurs, it's up to you (any you) to file a bug
report about it. Many bugs these days for pre-release software
aren't found by in-house testing groups, but are found by the huge
numbers of people who signed up to be on any one of a number of
pre-release channels for a given piece of software. A good
example of where there are multiple pre-release channels for a
piece of software is the new Edge, that has three: Canary
(updated nightly), Dev (updated weeekly), and Beta (updated every
six weeks).
If folks using screen readers aren't willing to report
accessibility issues when they are using beta software, then who
do you think should be? You are far more likely to run into those
issues, and instantly recognize them, than any sighted developer
(or end user) is. For heaven's sake, take the initiative to
identify accessibility issues to development teams when you find
them, using the appropriate channel to do that. And if you don't
now what that is, ask, or even better, try a web search on "bug
report {insert program here}," and then ask if you don't find a
useful result in the first 10 results.

Re: NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature
Hello all, Managed to contact a Thunderbird engineer via Twitter. To help figuring out what’s going with recent TB beta releases, this engineer graciously posted archive links for TB betas (use it at your own risk, especially if you wish to report issues to Thunderbird developers in tracking down performance issues): You must choose the installer that is designed for your processor/platform (win32 or win64; for sake of ese of testing, try win32). For each beta release, please do as exactly as I say below: - Install each beta, beginning with 74 beta 2.
- Use Thunderbird as usual.
- Note down issues such as sluggishness or extra chatter.
- If you don’t experience issues, install the next (newer) beta.
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you do come across issues.
- Should you experience issues, report to the list immediately so Thunderbird developers can be notified. Be sure to note down exactly what issues you are having and in which Thunderbird beta version you are experiencing these issues.
There is a tool called Mozregression that allows developers to pinpoint exactly which change introduced a bug (NVDA developers can also do this through a tool called “git bisect”). But since not many of you are experienced in this sort of thing, the steps I listed above is the next best thing we have. Cheers, Joseph

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
- Go to simmarket.com
- I'm not sure if you have to be log in for this but click the my
account link. You should see "my wish list, my cart, my orders etc. I cannot
get this to expand even after playing with it. Sometimes I can route with nvda
backspace but even then after trying that trick the page does not show these
options. I'm beginning to go nuts as this is how I can get my keys and stuff
for softwares and downloads to updates.
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.

Is there something new in the Thunderbird betas

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.

Quentin.
I am having the same problem
and it definitely interrupts the reading of
email.

Re: New add-on, frequentText
it probably downloads the file to your downloads folder if its
direct.
Anyway you just run the file from your downloads folder and it
just does.

Re: NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature
Hi, As for turning off status bar elements, I don’t know, as I don’t use Thunderbird at all (I use a combination of web email client interfaces, Outlook 365, and Windows 10 Mail to varying degrees). Cheers, Joseph
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Betsy Grenevitch Sent: Wednesday, April 1, 2020 9:07 PM To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: Re: [nvda] NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature Thank you so very much. It is still sluggish with add-ons off so it must be the beta version. I tried to be brave to try something in beta and I guess it did not work. My daughter keeps telling me I need to be more brave with computers and try new things but it never seems to work out. Do you know how to tell me how to turn off the status bar so I can try that to see if it would make a difference? I assume you do not need a report now that it is still sluggish without the add-ons, correct? I do not know how to thank you for your patience.

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.

Re: NVDA has Acquired a new, and somewhat annoying Feature
Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your efforts. Thunderbird 68.X is the last version that
is fully accessible. Versions after that do not read the status
line--a key feature without which blind users are greatly
disadvantage. Maybe you could mention this glaring issue that has
existed since version 68.
