I use winamp for a lot of things but my chip formats have not changed
in ages and ages.

There are a few things that winamp can't play but to be honest most
chip stuff I get are remakes and mashups usually in mp3 as well as
cross over chips.

I like the interface of the winamp program to.

Winamp is still aparently being developed but with its parent company
becoming shoutcast, who knows.

Its not been updated but winamp is on shoutcast's main page as a link,
so its probably a given they havn't given up on it.

However, winamp at least the version going on is wacup, or winamp
community project, which is 5.666 with extras.

To be honest though unless someone can revive, and update and add new
things to a plugins database winamp is pritty much useless.

The only reason I continue to use winamp is that I have ahd it since
2000 and have built up a stash of plugins and configurations I wanted
to use.

That does sound like a good plugin, the variable pitch one...
I don't think it's enough to make anyone switch but it's worth noting
that VlC can do this natively/without plugins. Not sure if there is a
hotkey pre-set for it though like there is for the compression
feature (iE, decreasing speed without changing pitch etc).

I use VLC for video playback, and for some audio formats that Winamp
doesn't handle very well (some audio and video formats, Winamp cannot
index properly, which means you can't really fast forward or rewind
through a track)

I know Winamp is widely used and is accessible. Other players are as
well, but I'll let those who use them discuss them. I usually use
Winamp. I'll tell you why I use Winamp in general and other list
members may describe which players they like.

When using NVDA, you don't have the time marker feature JAWS
incorporated for use with Winamp. But there is a utility made by the
late Carlos, who is much missed, that will allow you to set time
markers with any screen-reader or even without one. It is completely
independent of and doesn't require a screen-reader be used.

Then, there is a plugin I use for slowing down or speeding up the
speed of material. It doesn't keep the pitch constant, it slows down
and speeds up speed as though you were using a variable speed control
on a tape recorder or record player. That plugin is very useful to
me. I digitized a lot of tapes and my tape recorder was running a
little fast. I slow down the speed of the files when I play them in
Winamp. They must be certain formats or the plugin doesn't work
properly. I know MP3 will work, There may be others but I don't
know what works and what doesn't.

Thank You.

Hello list,
I have some weird issue with NVDA.
When I do not use my laptop for a longer period of time (half an hour and longer), but the laptop is stil on, and when I want to use it again, I pres any key, NVdA takes quite a long time to start speaking.
I have Lenovo, Windows 10, latest NVDA version and I have screensavers, and standby mode disabled.
Please, if anyone knows any workaround, let me know.
Thank you very much for your help.

Has the computer gone to sleep?  You make no mention of that, but if it has been put into sleep mode due to inactivity it does take a few moments for everything to "come back to life" again.  Some things will come back to life before others do.

<LOL>! On the contrary, I think you are too modernistic to accept clients for RSS -- or perhaps email. But personally speaking, I find the web interface for access to RSS feeds quite time-consuming and rather disconcerting, and I can say the same thing about Gmail's web interface when it comes to email. Now as far as RSS is concerned, getting Miniflux, for instance, to display the full content of an article is more time-consuming than doing it in Fluent Reader or Raven-Reader -- another RSS client I'm testing. With that said, I do understand people have different tastes or needs.

Hi, Akash, 
In fact, Thunderbird also has rss subscription function.

Hello,

I use the windows Slack app every day at work and it works rather fine.

You can use f6 and shift+F6 to switch from the messages list, to the channels list or the message edit field. NVDA switches automatically in forms mode so that you can type your message, and it switches back to browse mode in other situations.

With the automatic forms mode switching you can navigate through the messages with up and down arrow keys.

Sometimes NVDA gets stuck because it cannot decide if enabling forms or browse mode, but in most situations, it works rather good.

There is a useful help for you to learn how to use Slack with a screen reader :

Use a screen reader on Slack on desktop, that provides helpful information.

Best

Sylvie

Objet : Re: [nvda] Slack for Windows Accessibility

 

I have to agree with the other person who replied. It’s absolutely doable but it’s a bit cumbersome at times. Once you get familiar with its quirks you do get used to it, and ultimately every area of the app is accessible.

Hi,
The Slack Windows client is fairly usable with lots of hot keys for faster navigation. Those that I use the most are ctrl+k and ctrl+j. It is annoying at moments and never pleasant, but covers my needs and most likely yours.
