Braille input focus 40 blue 5th gen and NVDA
Justin Harford
Greetings everyone I'm trying to learn about the braille display offerings out there to get a sense of a good match. I was recommended to take a look at the focus 40 blue fifth-generation. I read through their documentation and it almost sort of sounds like according to the brochure the ability to input braille is limited to when you are using JAWS, but when I look at the online manual from the company, it vaguely seems like any screenreader that supports braille input would work. Has anyone successfully used the focus 40 blue with NVDA to input braille? Regards Justin Justin Harford (he/him/his) Program Coordinator (NCDE)

In this particular case, Grant had a paid Eloquence license from Code Factory, which could not be activated on his Win 10 machine. AT Guys sent him to Code Factory for support, and repeated attempts to contact Code Factory failed to obtain any response or results. I did not see any ethical issue with making some version of Eloquence work under such circumstances, since he already had a valid paid license that the vendor wouldn't help him use. Luke

Hi
Out of curiosity did you have a add blocker on? and when you disabled it you were able to watch those shows again?
Depending if the player can be seen might of not given you options unless it was.

I was able to get help installing the NVDA and
Eloquence on my Win10 PC created by David CM, although the version on the BHP
website was corrupted. A subscriber and contributer to the list, Luke Davis,
resolved all my issues. It seems to be working well so
far.
Cordially yours, and

This solution might not be as good as one or two others offered, but you may find it useful.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
That's an interesting question. It may be what is known as a live region. As far as I know, NVDA doesn't support not automatically reading live regions. I don't know about other screen-readers, But in such a case, I would suggest the following if you only want to rread content. Select the entire page with control a and paste it to the clipboard. Open Notepad and paste it. Then look for the beginning of the article, if your screen-reader doesn't allow you to stop automatic reading of live regions. Gene

Here is an example of a webpage: https://www.lovefood.com/recipes/60477/denis-cotters-black-bean-soup-with-chocolate-and-chillies As I tried to read the recipe, the screenreader is also reading some sort of a flash object that is promoting other articles. Is there a way to stop this? It seems like either I should be able to stop the screenreader from announcing this, or I should be able to stop Google Chrome from displaying it. I have used ad blockers in the past, but it seems like many webpages now will not allow you to access their resources if you are using an ad blocker, so I wonder if there is some other tool that I could use.

Re: sends the contents of the clipboard to the remote machine
It exists in team viewer. My agent pulled a web address from my browser's address into her computer's clipboard then we did what we needed to do. This was with the latest team viewer what ever that is.. I don't even look at that but you can try it with the latest from their website. Good luck. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .

Re: sends the contents of the clipboard to the remote machine
Chris,
To clarify, I am talking about remote support utilities in general with that statement, not NVDA Remote specifically, as you are correct and it has already been established in the course of this topic that pushing clipboard text contents from one side, and then pulling via paste on the other, is supported by NVDA Remote. It's a function I'd love to have in, say, Microsoft Quick Assist, but it does not exist. It's been quite a while since I last used TeamViewer, but I don't recall it existing there, either, with regard to the clipboard. File sharing/transfer is a completely separate issue. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: sends the contents of the clipboard to the remote machine
Chris Mullins
Hi Brian I’m confused by your remark:
“But having text be pushable from one side of the remote session to the other using the clipboard is impossible in many instances, and remains so. I was just working with someone across the country with an Outlook VBA issue, and I could not cut the script text (or parts of it) on my end and paste it there (which is what would have typically made the most sense if we were not talking a remote session).”
NVDA Remote does facilitate the pushing of clipboard text, it’s the copying of whole files by simply selecting a filename that cannot be done via NVDA Remote. Cheers Chris

I’ve several files in a shared Dropbox folder, using the latest office 2019 with latest NVDA, and am unable to when pressing Enter on the files or file to work with it, to get the focus away from a Popup that says Dropbox, thus if I could, it’d allow me to as usual, work and navigate through the files in question. I tried Maxing via Alt+space but no luck! Also I’ve tried Control+f4, but that closes the Word document in question!

Hello!
In Dropbox preferences, set: "Show Dropbox as a save location in Microsoft Office" to not checked and "Dropbox Badge" to "Never show"
I think it will eliminate your problem...
