Skype is very accessible with screen reader. Is a web application, so, NVDA
use the browse mode.

Respected friends, today I’m very sorry to let you know that with the
latest

NVDA I cannot use Skype.

The matter of fact is that I’m using Skype 8.63.

As I go to desktop and focus to Skype, it says nothing other than Skype.

With JAWS it is continuously saying Chrome Legacy Windows, but with
narrator

it is working fine.

Please do something it is a serious issue!

don, if you are going to be the controller do the following

1. open NVDA menu

2. press t for tools

3. press e to open the remote section

4. enter on connect

5. tab twice and type

   nvdaremote.com

  (you only need to do this step once)

6 tab and create a key then enter.

 

 

for the pc being controlled:

1. have the client do the first 4 steps

5. tab then arrow down to 'allow this machine to be controlled'

6. tab and have them type the same host name you typed

7. tab and have them type the key you created and enter

 

You will know that you are connected because you will hear a high pitched beep. press f11 to control their machine F11 also switches you back to your own machine.

Actually, I have had the opposite result. I use it here at work on two computers. If I can help write me off list. I got my help from the nvdaremote.com page. Hope that helps.

Hello,

Was wondering if there was a easier method for using the remote plug in for NVDA as what saw and or tried to use was extremely aggravating, challenging and frustrating trying to figure out how to use the plug in for accessing other computers that are using and have nvda installed.

Thanks.

Doing some experimenting. Just installed Thunderbird version 78.1 along
with the quick key folder nav addon. Still having issues with the addon
working as it should.

Yes, I did deactivate my license before I reinstall Windows. Don't know why it did this, as I never had the issue before. And I am the only one who currently using the license. And only one computer being activated though.

Could be a system outage, did you deactivate before you reset the system.

You may have to ask code factory or atguys or whoever you got things from for a licence reset.

I have never had this, there are wwarnings to make sure you deactivate or you will lose your licence seat and may have to rebuy the product again, they warn you several times,  never the less you can still ask, as long as you had a legitimate issue they may just reset it for you.

Hi all,


I just wiped out my PC, and installed a fresh copy of Windows. WHen I activate vocalizer on the machine, I got the following message.


Your license can not be verified. Please check the following:
1. Your credentials (email and password) are correct (you can change them under the vocalizer
expressive menu)
2. You are not using someone else's activation or you are not using the same activation in
different computers at the same time. This is not legal, and is against license terms.
3. You are having internet problems.
For further clarification, please contact tiflotecnia, Lda, or your local dealer.

OK


Could anyone tell me what exactly is the problem? I can use it just fine. But the message keep showing whenever I restart NVDA or restart my computer.


Thanks.

Here's a first, at least for me.  I went in to Tbird extensions to see which ones I have installed after someone mentioned Lightning on a separate topic.  Quick Folder Key Navigation is another of the extensions I have installed.
After jumping over to my web browser for a couple of minutes, I noticed a T-bird window with the title, "Loading...," had shown up, which I'd never seen before, and its content is about Quick Folder Key Navigation.  It reads: /The add-on has been updated to make it compatible with Thunderbird version 69.0 and later. It continues to be compatible with Thunderbird 68.0. Note that the "Enable key navigation" item for toggling key navigation on and off in the folder tree that used to be added to the "Go" menu has been moved to the context menu of the folder tree. /The only button is Close.

One thing that thunderbird 78 has is a calendar that is not a addon as it has been.  Is there a way to disable the calendar?

No,
The quick key folder navigation does work fine with thunderbird 78.
plus they added some long waited feature "minimize to tray' to TB options
And the options setting interface  has become a lot easier to deal with. .

It should be noted that when you get to version 78.x, which isn't available

through the program update yet, but its coming at some point, that the quick

navigation add-on will no longer work, nor will the other add-on that adds
functionality.  I might be able to find out its name.  Its something like
Mozilla enhancements.  I've said before that if people only use Thunderbird

for e-mail, I think updating is a bad idea.  If you use other features, it
might make sense to do so.

Also, the Lightning add-on is no longer used in 78.X.  The calendar function

is built into the program.  I don't know if it can be disabled but those are

changes people who just let the program update should be aware of.  If it
can't be disabled, that might be another reason for not letting the program

update.  These topics need more discussion.

I've had consistent behavior out of the Quick Folder Key Navigation
extension for years now.

Hello,

The bridge is a feature which can be accessed by any of the paid plans, but unfortunately not for free. You can still use the web interface though.

I started having the problem where quick nav wasn't working at all.  I took a look around and discovered that there had been an extension installed called Lightning.  I looked into it and decided I didn't want it.  I removed it and now my quick nav extension is working perfectly.
You might want to see if you have this extension installed and ifg you do remove it.  I bet your quick nav will start working again.  You could just disable it to test this first before removing it.
