Re: links in email with thunderbird
Mary Otten
Yes, I do have a back up email, but it’s the Windows 10 email client, which I loathe, and that’s being nice. I had an email client that I absolutely loved and used for well over a decade, long after I should’ve quit. I have never found anything since that comes close. I do not have Outlook, and I don’t want it. If somebody has a suggestion for another email client, I am willing to look into one. Mary

Tip for canceling an Amazon subscription using NVDA & Windows 10
Jackie
I hope this helps others here. Sorry to those using an OS other than
Win 10, as this won't help yall. I had the very unfortunate experience of needing to cancel an Amazon subscribe-and-save subscription, admittedly due to my own stupidity. The experience was, however, made considerably worse due to accessibility issues. I hesitated to call the Amazon Disability Support desk because the last time I put a phone call in, what I needed didn't get done, ie, somehow they thought I didn't get my merchandise, they issued a refund, I asked them to cancel that because I did indeed receive my order, & they gave me my money back anyway. O well. I tried to be honest. Be that as it may, here's what I ended up doing. In order to cancel a subscription, you log into your account, then activate the 'orders & lists' link, then the subscribe-&-save link. Find the name of the subscription you wish to deactivate. In my case it began with: "Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Probiotics Cat Supplement..." Using object navigation, I navigated to the previous object (nvda + shift + left arrow on my laptop. It's a graphic. Press NVDA+r to recognize the content. Now press the spacebar to open the options where you can change delivery options or cancel the subscription. This should not have to be like that, ie, this "hovering" over an icon to make options appear is a well-known accessibility "no-no". Having thus said, complaining to the disability support desk would be utterly futile, as they don't have either the language skills or knowledge to file such a complaint, though having thus said, I'm thoroughly grateful for their being available & I very much appreciate their service. At any rate, as I said, I hope this helps someone who finds themselves similarly situated. Many blessings for your weekend. -- Subscribe to a WordPress for Newbies Mailing List by sending a message to: wp4newbs-request@freelists.org with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by visiting the list page at http://www.freelists.org/list/wp4newbs & check out my sites at www.brighter-vision.com & www.mysitesbeenhacked.com

Hi Kara, What tools did you use to create them? And do you know what tools did Andre use for his sounds (if different)? I would like to create some similar short sounds for punctuation marks... --Tony

I didn’t notice which list the message was directed to when I wrote my last

command.

There is a folder called waves. The new sounds are just other wave

Re: Trying to learn NVDA for the Microsoft Flight simulator and the add on program Ideal Flight Special Edition
David Csercsics
Neat, but I guess it sounds like I should wait for the October updates, and possibly the new XBox with accessibility fixes. I'm guessing you use one of the phone OCR apps? And then point it at the screen to read the sim stuff? That would not really be doable here, as I don't habitually have a monitor connected, which generally causes windows to be confused about screen resolution, among other things.

Re: links in email with thunderbird
Henk Mulder
Hi Mary,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think this also has to do with the extra chatter in the statusbar. If I open a mail with the statusbar disabled, then NVDA will read the label of the link when I tab to it. If I enable the statusbar and tab to a link, then the URL is shown in the statusbar, and that is what's being read. So I think that disabling the statusbar will solve your problem. Note that, if messages are opened in a new window, it will not automatically use the same setting as for the main window of Thunderbird. Therefore you might have to adjust this setting for (1) the main window, (2) the window for reading messages, and (3) the window for composing messages.

Re: links in email with thunderbird
Mary,
I'm sorry to say that this sounds like a bug that has crept in, so you probably can't. I would have to presume this is on the Thunderbird side, too. As a curiosity question, and not just to you, do you have a "backup" e-mail client that you can use to test against? Given that you can have as many e-mail clients as you might like on a given computer if they're all accessing the same accounts via IMAP, it's worth having an extra one to test against when stuff like this comes up so that you can differentiate between the problem possibly being on the screen reader side versus the email client side. -- 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

links in email with thunderbird
Mary Otten
Hi all,
Until this most recent update to T-bird, the one that started the thread on all that extra chatter, it had been the case that if you opened a message and read it, or if you tabbed through the open message looking for links, those links which had English text associated with the url would announce the same way, i.e. the English text, not the http:// etc would be spoken by NVDA. Now, however, if I get a message and tab through to quickly find the link I know is there, all I get are the readouts of urls, which are not helpful at all. If I read through the message, I hear the actual English text, not the url, but that is inefficient as heck, since in a lot of instances, I know there are titles to stories, for instance in a newsletter, that I want to flip through, rather than listening to them all plus the blurbs after each one. I hope this description makes sense. What can I do to get my tabbing to read the link label in English as it does when you read straight through, rather than read the html http:// stuff? Mary

Re: New NVDA sounds

they were originally supposed to be incorporated into NVDA as a part of the
program. There is therefore no explanation of how to replace the old files
with the new.
It may depend on whether you are running an installed or a portable version
of the program, where you would put the files. I’ll write more about the
portable version if people are interested in another message but you either back
up the original waves folder or delete it, create another folder called waves
and place the files in that or, if the download you got has the files already in
a folder called waves, paste that folder in the same place as the old waves
folder was.
That’s true of both the installed and portable versions but the waves
folder may be in a different place, I’m not sure.
To backup the old waves file, change its name to something like waves old,
that’s all you have to do. You can leave the folder where it is.
