Yeah, but..it's a media player; do they really have to "go anywhere"? lol

Not that many new non-streaming media formats under the sun, for audio at least. Winamp as a video player isn't very robust.

latest driver updates
Hi all, just to notify you that today I recieved driver update from hp for my firmware.
Before that windows 2004 seemed to be causing my cpu to spike, waterfox and some programs crashed a lot, etc. After I got the update, windows would boot twice though still boot. To fix it on your hp do the following. 1. power off and unplug all cords from ports including the power. push and hold the power button for at least 15-20 seconds. release. power back on. after the system starts plug in power, plug in everything else. Its not been restarting twice and things are not being stupid anymore.

Greetings. Like Fluent Reader, Raven Reader is an Electron app. As such, it's also quite accessible -- even a bit more than Fluent Reader I'd say. It's also a good podcast player and can play podcast-oriented items as we open them. Its website is https://ravenreader.app
I've also opened a few issues for Raven Reader on its Github page -- please take a look: https://github.com/hello-efficiency-inc/raven-reader Best, Amir

Re: NVDA Speech delay after Computer is Idle
Betsy Grenevitch
have seen that too but thought it was just because my laptop is older. I am using Windows 10 and the version of NVDA right before the beta as far as I know. It does not always happen but happens frequently.

Navigating Microsoft Edge Favourites
Louise Pfau
Hi. I can navigate to the Microsoft Edge favourites treeview with NVDA, but not within it using the ARROW keys. I activated focus mode by pressing ENTER on the treeview, which is described as clickable, but nothing happened. I was able to navigate within the treeview using JAWS 16, and forms mode was autoactivated when I navigated to the treeview. I can't navigate within the listbiew that opens up when you activate a treeview choice with JAWS, but I can with NVDA. I'm running the latest versions of Microsoft Edge and Windows 10.
Thanks, Louise

Re: NVDA Speech delay after Computer is Idle
Well, there are standard things that can be done, and I do 'em in this order, stopping if/when the issue subsides:
1. Uninstall NVDA and then reinstall from a freshly downloaded copy of the installer. 2. Run the COM registration fixing tool. 3. Restart NVDA with add-ons disabled. 4. If number three works, disabling all add-ons, then reenabling one by one until the issue recurs to determine which is the problem. Some people do literally one at a time, disabling all others, while others start with one and, if there's no problem, enabling the next. There is also what Joseph mentioned as far as power saving, but that does make no sense if the machine is playing music continuously and NVDA isn't just there when called upon. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white.

Don't tell me this is the sound card hardware/driver combo working to put the sound card itself to sleep... Does this happen if you use a different speaker or a headset hardware other than the one that comes with your computer? Cheers, Joseph

Raven-Reader? How's the accessibility status?

<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.

Ya, Thunderbird's RSS feature is quite lame. I've used it in the past but didn't like it at all. quite buggy
and feature less.

Oh, I just open 5000 windows every time. Lol it's really not that many,
it's probably only around 30. Therefore I really don't need it to give me the full article, because I'd be opening the window. I do this regardless of what reader I'm using.

Re: Slack for Windows Accessibility
Sylvie Duchateau
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 De : nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> De la part de Luke Robinett via groups.io
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.
