Yes I think a link is what it says it is, ie it links to somewhere else.

Clickable is where the item has a function but it is not conveyed to the screenreader what that function is. Its obviously not a button combo box or whatever, so it defaults to clickable. I am told, but cannot see that on some pages with multiple clickables a bar might be graphic and divided into segments of some kind but seemingly not able to be selected unless by the mouse itself. I don't know if this is the case on your example as I've not tried it. If this is the case then this should surely fail the accessible rules unless some other way is given to get to whatever these items actually are, and since even nvda does not know what they are its hard to tell! I have also seen sites with combo boxes that appear blank but seemingly cannot be activated unless some helpful sighted person uses the mouse, but they are still spoken as combo boxes by nvda. I guess we can never stop authoring errors and also the way some sites appear to work in one browser and not another. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

The following is a question that only the NVDA developers who handle this can answer, but this is as good a place as any to make the inquiry. Even as a sighted user I find it confusing when I land on something that gets announced as "Clickable, clickable, clickable" when it either is clickable, but all one would have to do is click once, or when it's not clickable at all. I am also wondering why the phrase "clickable link" gets used for some links while other links don't get the "clickable" designation, and I'm not talking about something that's stippled out. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to how/when the designation "clickable" gets used and how many times. As to the multi-clickable announcement, I'll give an example for an object that is not clickable at all for a sighted user. When I go to the Gmail Settings, General Tab, I eventually can tab myself to the first part of the settings, which is Language. I will sometimes (and I just now could not replicate even landing there) land on what looks like the label for this group of settings. It will generally announce "clickable" three times, but there's nothing there that a sighted mouse user can click, and there's no hint as to what might be clickable there. There are too many buttons and links to mention as I navigate through this page some of which say "clickable" when you land on them and others that do not. There's got to be a rhyme and reason here, but I cannot easily fathom what it is. I also think that saying "clickable link" is redundant and, if you have that rare instance where a given link is blocked, it would make more sense to announce that state of oddity than to ever announce that a link that can be clicked is "clickable." -- Brian I worry a lot. . .

It also mentions that you've landed on "toolbar" when you first hit any of the Google Toolbar buttons, of which the Settings Menu Button is only one. The above presumes that you've already logged in to the Gmail web interface for any one of the services that has settings that you as a user are able to configure. Gmail is definitely among those. Gmail should have IMAP access enabled by default these days, but if an account was set up years ago it might not. If you're trying to use a Gmail account in an email client I would simply try setting it up in that client first. Those that can do auto setup will always try IMAP first and if the account is not set up to allow IMAP it most likely will fail. Then you'd have to resort to going in to the Gmail account and turning it on. -- Brian I worry a lot. . .

Some people feel as I do that its not very intuitive and if they have more than one address with different providers a common interface saves a lot of brain strain. Besides, and although they have preserved a basic version, with web based email the supplier can and often has changed the interface potentially removing access to your email account.

Re: setting up imap email

This is not the main issue. We are saying that this only sets up via webmail, and often you need to turn on pop3/Imap if you intend to use a client. I did manage to do this but like the origiinal poster the instructions on the website were less than clear. The button you need is called a different name to the name given in the instructions unless you can actually see it.

Re: mobil voices on nvda
From what I understand there was some regression in their use.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
No idea what the final outcome was. To be honest the easiest way to handle nvda is subscribe on the nvda dev skype group, I forget the link to that. But this is where a lot of the users, devs well joseph mainly and a few of the translation team hang out. I also know that nimer lerks there, he hardly posts but he does lerk because he has posted from time to time. One good thing I can say with this group is that if there are any issues if joseph is on or others they will get reported but if they can be fixed they generally will be.

Re: Possible issues with JOptionPane?

Greetings all, I'm having issues with Java applet demo here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html In my own testing, only 3 of the 15 possible dialogs announce the main dialog message. However, if I hover with the mouse pointer, or press the [NVDA]+B shortcut, then the message/warning text is annunciated. I'd be happy to debug the issue (to some degree), but, at this stage am wondering if anyone is able to reproduce the same issue please? I'm guessing the speech viewer simply echoes what is spoken (not what NVDA actually receives from accessible application?). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Daniel

Notification of recording and post production learning session tomorrow.
derek riemer
if you would like to learn how to edit media files in audacity, I am leading a session to teach this tomorrow on the teamtalk server at nvda-kr.org. This skill is highly valuable for post production work of the audio that is recorded at the conference. What you should bring: 1. Go to http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ 2. Download the installer. It should be about 23 mb. 3. Install audacity. Don't expect mme to walk you through
installing Audacity, come prepared. I will not wait for team
members to install audacity unless there is clearly someone
struggling to install it. If you struggle to install audacity
without help externally, audio editing might not be for you,
because this is an extremely demanding task in terms of feeling
comfortable with your computer. You should be an intermediate to
advanced windows user who feels comfortable using NVDA in
situations where things that you don't expect occur. This is one
of the most challenging things I have ever used my computer for,
even more so than some of the computer science things I've done in
school. 4. Show up at the NVDA-KR teamtalk server at 3:00 P.M. Mountain
time (2:00 P.M. pacific, 21:00 UTC with your computer, and
audacity ready to edit. --

Re: SSH with the new windows Bash Client?
jeremy <icu8it2@...>
If it's the same thing that was mentioned a while ago here on list,
it does work, but seems to have some of the same issues in
navigating things like ncurses menus and areas such as files within
nano. As with Teraterm and I assume, putty, NVDA doesn't always
track the cursor correctly, so you have to use review commands to
get an idea of your position sometimes. I'm not sure if this is
mostly specific to recent versions of NVDA, as I know older versions
worked really well with Teraterm, but I do know the latest one can
be really frustrating to use with it.

I haven't upgraded NVDA for quite sometime here
though every so often I try a new version to test something. Evidently,
NVDA still says clickable at times when the item isn't clickable. I assume
this is a design error. It isn't just limited to Google.

I think the different Google pages are really strange with a
screenreader, so NVDA repeating clickable as it does has never
really been all that surprising for me. I can't see well enough
though to play with the mouse to actually tell if there were
multiple items there to click, so your observation kind of explains
things. I've often wondered on other pages, if it was announcing
clickable at the beginning and end of the item, reason it would say
it more than once, but I end up getting annoyed by it so end up
turning off that announcement.
