Re: Looking For Older Version of NVDA
David,
All of the historical NVDA releases, including the various betas and release candidates, are available via the Releases page for the NVDA GitHub. See: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/releases However, I'll be darned if I can find a way to download the compiled version of the installer, which I could have sworn was possible. All I'm seeing is the source code as a ZIP file or tarball. Unfortunately, I've deleted my installer or I'd have passed it along to you. I have often wondered why NVAccess does not host a library of previous versions of NVDA. There are times where one might want something other than the current release. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Looking For Older Version of NVDA
David Goldfield
Hello. At one point I thought that the NV Access Web site had a place for archiving older NVDA releases. I can no longer find it and I have a need to temporarily run 2019.3 as a portable copy for a brief test of a Web site. I'd prefer to not grab it from a Dropbox link or to receive it as an attachment as I'd rather get it from NV Access, as I prefer downloading files from the source, whenever possible.
Does NV Access run an FTP server with old NVDA releases just as Mozilla does for archived versions of their software? -- David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist JAWS Certified, 2019 WWW.DavidGoldfield.org

Re: Grammar checker
This thread is so fragmented. The most accessible grammar and spell checker you will find is the one built into word. Get Microsoft Office 365. None, and I do mean this. None, of the third party offerings are accessible or worth your money. None of them. Microsoft 365 is your best option, especially with a screen reader. Robert Kingett.

Re: Help on how to change NVDA sounds.

Intriguing, but not enough for me to click on a URL that seems very unfamiliar. If this is truly useful information, can we have it added to nvaccess or the maling list WIKI?

Re: Spelling error in word 2016
Are you using the optional browse mode in Microsoft Word documents (and this appears to be on by default, as I don't remember turning it on? If so, and you know that you've activated browse mode instead of focus mode (NVDA+spacebar toggles) the single letter navigation W will take you to words identified as misspelled. (See section 6 of the NVDA user guide.)

Re: Remote Relay server

Hi,

There is a precompiled server for windows here: https://github.com/jmdaweb/NVDARemoteServer/releases/download/release-1.6/NVDARemoteServer-win-1.6-x64.zip Extract this to any location of your choosing. Inside the folder, right click service manager.cmd and run it as administrator. Here is where you can select to install the service, run it at startup, among other self explanatory features. Another good idea is to run the NVDA remote certificate.cmd file, again as administrator, to create your own SSL certificate for your remote server. Jonathan

Read nothing or read the first line. Than the user could choose what works for them.

I believe there is a setting (perhaps in advanced) to have NVDA use UIA for Office applications. Does the behavior change if you toggle this?

If you are reading mail as HTML, it will, by
default, read the entire message. There is a setting in NVDA to not
automatically use read to end which, as I recall, is in the Browse Mode
settings.
If you turn this off, I would expect, though I
haven't checked, that the first line of the message would be read. This
will affect anything using browse mode unless you use a profile.

Re: NVDA speaks all punctuations except period
Make sure that no entries have been made in any one of the dictionaries (most likely the default dictionary, but check them all) that would prevent a period from being spoken.
Also check in Punctuation & Symbols settings (NVDA+N,P,P), to be certain that the single period stand-alone, and at the end of a sentence, have not been tweaked to have a blank replacement text. If your Punctuation & Symbols settings are still in their default state, or something near to it, typing the word "dot," in the Filter by edit box should pull up both the sentence ending and standalone periods with a replacement text of dot. If it doesn't, then something's been changed, and it's impossible to say what without seeing it/having direct access to it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.
