Can you both please clarify exactly which voices / synthesizers you are
using? Sandesh, I'm not familiar with a synth called "AP4", but did you
mean SAPI 4"?

It sounds like you managed to get back to a voice you can use, but if you
do set the synthesizer to something which doesn't work, two ways to
overcome it are:

1) Revert NVDA to the last saved configuration by pressing NVDA+CONTROL+R.
If all else fails, pressing this three times quickly will reset NVDA back
to factory settings.

2) Or you can change the synthesizer again, if you are happy to try doing
so without speech:
- Press NVDA+CONTROL+S to open the synthesizer dialog
- Press W for Windows OneCore voices or E for eSpeak-NG.
- Press ENTER. The new synthesizer should load and start speaking.

Note that this assumes Windows OneCore is the only (or at least first
alphabetically) synthesizer beginning with W and eSpeak NG is the only or
first beginning with E.

Regards

Quentin.

I played with it a few weeks back, but ultimately removed the addon as it crashed NVDA too often.

Hi guys



I was browsing the under development section and saw the add on for Windows magnifier. I knew there was one for windows 7 but no higher back then.


it looks as though this will work on windows 10

I seen this add on a little while back on the section under development.


has any one who has a bit more sight have a play with this add on and how well did it work?


I saw it when installed went up to 16 times magnification in Windows I thought it used to only be like 4 times at one time maybe windows 7 or did it change later on?


it seems to have a stable release number but is still under development. Is it been reviewed at the moment to go onto the main add on list? or are bugs etc still be ironed out?


The add on I am referring to can be found at https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/windowsMagnifier.en.html

 Has any one used it with the mouse and did they have any problems like windows locking up? or any ting like that.


There may be some members who could benefit from this add on when it gets released to the main list.


I was also wondering there may be others on this list who do not know about it and may help them.

Hi, and thanks for replying. In 2 other screen readers I have there are hot keys for raising and lowering the speed of speech, without going into menus, etc.
How about NVDA? If so, I just plain missed them.

Hi all,

Add-on Updater 20.05 is now available. This version adds update check capability for the following add-ons:

• Kill NVDA
• NV Speech Player
• OCR
• Phonetic Punctuation
• Time Zoner
• Tony’s Enhancements

If you are using any of these add-ons, be sure to install Add-on Updater 20.05 and check for add-on updates so you may get latest releases.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi Group,

Maybe if he could record the IOS sound scheme individual file by individual file and then move them somehow to the PC and rename them to conform to NVDA wave file names in the NVDA\Waves folder and paste the converted and renamed files into that folder, he could achieve what he wants.  Personally, I like the original NVDA sound scheme better than anything I have herd so far.  I did not like the new sound scheme that was proposed and then dropped for 2018 releases.  I got a copy of those sound files, copied them into the folder with the default wave files and had it that way for about a day. I over wrote them with the original sound files a day later because I simply didn't like the change.

Yes, and that's what I finally figured out you were probably making reference to.  Unless someone has created one, and sees your request, I can find absolutely nothing "out there on the web" that indicates such exists and is available for download.

Use the voice ring, nvda control shift left right and up down arrows, I think. I'm in laptop mode but consult the quick start guide to know the keyboard commands for the voice ring. I don't know if this is what it is called in the manual but hope that helps a bit.

Also, if it's an iOS audio theme for the Audio Themes add-on you're looking for, I can't find one on the GitHub page or elsewhere via web search.
It is entirely possible that someone has created one, but as you've requested, they'd have to share it here.  And it's fine to do so if we're talking about a audio theme of any sort that can be used with the Audio Themes Add-On.
