Recovering from NVDA corruption
John J. Boyer
I have Windows 7 and the latest NVDA. I am deafblind, so I use a braille
display. NVDA was doing fine until a few days ago. then the Braille display was disconnected accidentally. I tried turning off Windows with the power button, waiting a few minutes and then turning it back on. The Braille display showed a starting signal, but nothing else. My sighed assistant reports that he can use Windows normally. NVDA will talk, but it will not use my Braille display. He tried NVDA troubleshooting, but the choices didn't make sense. it even asked what version of Windows we were using. Microsoft hasn't sneaked in an upgrade to Windows 10. That would have been immediately aparent. I would like to avoid reinstalling NVDA. Any ideas you come up with will be welcome. i will have to explain whatever I decide to do to my sighted assistant.

Re: setting up imap email
Brian, I'm sorry I don't have the time at the moment to even attempt to step through the process of creating a new Google Account (and now, as Google says, it's "one account, all of Google",) but here's the direct link to the Google Account Creation Page. You fill in quite a bit of basic information, including the userid part of the Google/Gmail address you'd like, right on that page. It also appears that they may be allowing users to use an existing e-mail address, in full, as their Google account login identifier (much like Microsoft does for Microsoft Accounts) but that could lead to insane confusion pretty quickly. Since Google has been heavy into replacing Captchas with ReCaptchas I'd hope that's what they're using if anything of that sort is being used further into the process of account creation. -- I worry a lot. . .

Re: math-ml with NVDA
coscell@...
You can do it but you should need install MathType.

First edit the mathml using notepad then select all and copy into clipboard. Next open word and paste. If you want to read the result in braille, you have to install MathPlayer.

But you can define your own shortcuts when you
create a short cut key. Control alt f could be used for Firefox.
Control alt w could be used for Windows Live
Mail if that is your e-mail program.
My point is that you can use the first letter of
the name of the program and that might make remembering the command easy.
Also, you don't have to create a lot of commands for programs if you don't want
to. If you have three or four programs you open a lot more than others,
you would only have those commands to remember.

Once you put a shortcut on the desktop, if you are going to use the application often, why not assign a shortcut command? In future, you don't have to go to the desktop and move to the shortcut. You can open the application from almost anywhere just by issuing one command.

Hello Brandon,
I find it easier to place application shortcuts on the desktop. This is a two-step process. Hit the windows key, type in the application name, hit the context menu, find file location and enter on it, hit the context menu and go to the send-to menu. Hit the desktop option. Hit windows m to bring you to the desktop, type the first letter of the application, and you will land on it. Note that on the desktop, once you find a and select application, you can hit f2 and change the shortcut’s name.

Hello, Does anyone understand how pins work in Windows 10? I removed all the junk in hopes that fewer items would make things clearer, but it didn't I pinned a couple things to the start and in order to get to them I need to hit right arrow once and down arrow all the way to the bottom when they should be just down. Apparently there are folders but I can't understand how they work. Any help would be great because I would like to start using the start menu. Thanks,

Re: SSH with the new windows Bash Client?
Hello, So I was able to get the bash client working on my computer.Because this is pretty much a commandline, is NVDA able to modify any of these behaviors? It would be beyond amazing if there was a text editor that had the usability of EdSharp on the bash line. Vim could be that, but I have not seen anything to show me it is faster than editing with EdSharp. Apparently it is not normal for most people to never leave their keyboard when they are typing and that is what Vim allows. But EdSharp has even faster key commands and it is a lot more user friendly. Here is a guide on how to get started with the bash prompt: http://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/ Thanks,

Accessible Youtube video downloader?
Hey guys, Any suggestion for Youtube video downloading program that is accessible with NVDA and still in active development? I'm currently using Pontes Media Downloader which is perfectly accessible, but the last version was in late 2014, and I've started having issues downloading playlists with tens of videos lately. Because of this, I'm thinking of finding a replacement, but I'm not aware of any programs out there that is accessible with NVDA and still in active development.

Hello, The reason why one uses the start menu is so you don't need to open apps to do things like your calendar, whether, news and stocks. you just arrow over those items and you hear what they are.

Re: Word "Clickable" - Number of repetitions and what causes it?

Often you get nested frames though and in those cases its a bit like closing brackets on maths content. Get the number wrong and your line of code won't work or stuff is done in the wrong order.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The issue for me is that there seems to be no way to know what an iframe is and which one its the end of. This gets even more confusing on some adverts where each time you access a page the ad will change and not always have an embedded Iframe. Even ad blockers seem to end up sometimes with start and ends of frames that appear empty, but are invisible to the sighted. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Re: Word "Clickable" - Number of repetitions and what causes it?

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