All correct Jacob! NVDA+3 to toggle speak typed words directly. Otherwise NVDA+control+k to open NVDA's keyboard settings and toggle it from in there. Quentin.

Issue With Windows Security And Monitoring Virus Scan Progress
Ron Canazzi
Hello Group,
Until recently (I am not sure when this started) when I would manually run a Virus scan for Windows security, I could switch to the screen review cursor and look at the dialogue including the progress and setting. Now when I try this during a scan, all NVDA says is 'blandk.' Now if I use the read dialogue keystroke insert + B, after reading through a bunch of superfluous items such as the tool bars and system items, I do get the scan progress information read correctly. This means that it must be recognizable by NVDA at some level. Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, is there some way of rectifying the situation? If NVDA sees it in the read dialogue context, shouldn't it be available in some form so that it can be read more easily? Thanks for any help. -- They Ask Me If I'm Happy; I say Yes. They ask: "How Happy are You?" I Say: "I'm as happy as a stow away chimpanzee on a banana boat!"

Re: Speech crackling/breaking up in latest NVDA

Silenzio doesn't silence speech. It solves a problem where the sound card times out after it isn't doing anything for a short time. When you do something that causes speech to occur again, there is a pause before it starts because the sound card has stopped working. Silenzio sends inaudible audio signals to the sound card to stop it from timing out. That doesn't sound like your problem because, according to your description, your problem occurs while speech is occuring.

Hi
Apologies if this seems simple, but I am sure that nvda used to speak each word as it was typed. For some reason my system has stopped doing this and I cannot find the setting to re-instate the feature. I am using nvda version 2020.1 and the latest Windows 10. Advice welcome. best regards Gerry

Re: NVDA 2020.2 and Word Track Changes: finding the issue in Github
Quentin Christensen
Hi Sylvie, Good question - and one to which there is no easy answer. Probably the best I can think of is what are the most common words someone might use in describing the problem. So for this one, shift+a is good as that is the exact keystroke which is misbehaving. Annotation could also work since that's NVDA's name for the command. If you're unsure, feel free to post here as that way you can also find out if anyone else is experiencing it, and if THEY have already reported it, or perhaps find an answer. At worst, if you post an issue and it already exists, someone will see it, realise it's a duplicate, and close it as such, pointing you to the open issue. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: NVDA 2020.2 and Word Track Changes: finding the issue in Github
Sylvie Duchateau
Hello Quentin, Sandra and all, Thank your Quentin for noting that the issue already exists. As already noted to Sandra, I had tested on NVDA 2019.2 and 2019.3 and shift+A worked. But as you noted in the issue on Github it does not work with NVDA 2020.2. So my question: in order to avoid duplicated issue what is the best way to find if an issue has already been posted on that subject or not? You will answer, searching in the Github issues, but you have to type the words that were used for the issue. For example, if I look for shift+A does not work, I am not sure that I would find the issue it is related to. Any hints on writing issues and not duplicating? Best Sylvie De : nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> De la part de Quentin Christensen via groups.io
Hi Sandra,
GitHub is not difficult to use. You do need to create an account, but that simply requires and email address and password, as most sites do these days.
As it happens though, this isn't actually a new bug, and there is an issue for it: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7342
Kind regards
Quentin.

I'm not sure what you want to do. Do you use read to end when reading mail or just down arrow through the entire message? You can use the read to end command to both stop unwanted repetition and begin reading the message body.

This is a known problem in my circle across synths.

I suspect this is due to speech refactor. Regardless, it would be helpful if you could get a sentence or something where this occurs, then report an issue if you can get it to happen reliably. This is the hard part. eSpeak is one of the core drivers, so NV Access might consider the issue as worth looking into if reported against that.

Speech crackling/breaking up in latest NVDA
Sharni-Lee Ward
So I just finally decided to brave the Python 3 hurdle, and updated from 2019.2.1 to 2020.2. I've updated the addons I could and wanted to keep, and they're both working fine.
I am, however, having an odd little issue with the synth's speech. I'm using ESpeak NG, and the latest NVDA. I'm on Windows 10. My issue is that occasionally, most often at the ends of sentences and on the word image in the context of that being an object, the speech will break up slightly, for a brief but noticeable fraction of a second. It happens irregularly, and I don't know what to do to fix it. I asked on a Discord server I'm a member of, and someone there told me to switch audio output from Microsoft Sound Mapper to my speakers/headphones. I did this, but it hasn't helped. I've also noticed a slight but noticeable lag when deleting characters, and in single-letter navigation. In the latter, It takes most of a second before NVDA announces the item the cursor has moved to after the letter was pressed. Any help regarding these issues would be sincerely appreciated.

Idea for an Addon
Vaibhav Bhandari
Hi all,
So recently I was thinking like many people out their, whenever they read some book/novel/any other thing, they tend to mark something which they feel is important. Now I was wondering if such an addon for NVDA could be developed through which it would jump from the first bold text to the next. Is their already such an addon or can it be developed? -- Thanks/regards: Vaibhav Bhandari
