Re: NVDA integration in video games
This is indeed an interesting idea. From my tests, with NVDA's current OCR function, I was able to get NVDA to read texts in games like Sims 3, albeit not 100% reliable or accurate.
Imagine if NVDA is able to recognize in-game texts and interact with game controls in realtime...that would be a monumental step forward, though that would likely require the use of AI technology and a reasonably powerful computer. Even the new voice recognition feature in VoiceOver is limited to newer iPhones.

Hi Group,
Now this is weird. Since the new Edge is Chrome based, I thought I would try Edge on this web page. It works just as well as Firefox. Go figure! On 10/29/2020 7:35 PM, Brian Vogel

Re: A web dialog that isn't automatically read by NVDA

Thanks Brian, In this instance, and without having seen the page myself, several things stand out to me: - Firstly, the problem is reproducible in Chrome but not Firefox. Such a scenario is almost always caused by either the page creator not following standards, or the browser (Chrome in this case) not interpreting them correctly - usually the former unless you can find consistent issues across multiple sites. - The issue is reproducible with both NVDA and Jaws. Again, indicating an issue with the page (or Brower), OR that NVDA and Jaws have independently done something wrong in how this particular web content is interpreted. The fact that Narrator can read it, indicates there might be other things we could try such as pulling information from the graphics card - which could be useful for working with an otherwise inaccessible program, although in the case of a specific page which isn't written correctly, it is likely better to approach the web page designer about the issue. It's often difficult with an isolated case to determine where the issue lies. In this case, I would hazard a guess that most probably the issue is in the individual page code. Next most likely is Chrome not doing something correctly, and third inline is BOTH NVDA and Jaws not interpreting something correctly. If it were something you could find examples of on numerous sites, I'd be inclined to lean towards a Chrome bug (or a poorly written standard which numerous developers have read one way and the Chrome developers have read a different way). It's definitely something which can be hard to pin down though, so it's always worth asking about. Quentin.

Now, what I don't know is the best way to approach this. I have no idea how to file a bug report/trouble ticket or similar in such a way that all Chromium-base browsers would receive the fix. I believe most of them do use the updated Chromium core code as it gets released, but I'm not 100% certain of that. There are times when it may make sense to file a bug report with your screen reader's developers (NVDA, in this case) since there tends to be a far more consistent and open communication channel between the organizations that build and maintain screen readers and the various web browser development communities than any end user has any ability to tap. But I don't know if this is the case here. I am going to flag Quentin Christensen on this message to have him weigh in. This is a gray area as far as whose cage should be rattled initially by the user(s) having issues. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

NVDA performance in remote or virtual environments
Adriani Botez
Dear all,
I thought I start a discussion here on the performance topic in remote or virtual environments. Since I don’t really have experience with this yet, but I am starting to work on such an environment, maybe some one can help with some useful hints.
For my job a smooth performance is very crucial. I wonder, which environment delivers the best NVDA performance?
In a virtual environment, is there a difference in performance when using different software to create a virtual machine? I.e. Hyper-V, VMWare, Virtual Box or Citrox itself? If yes, which is the VM software that delivers the best performance so far?
I hope someone can help with some knowledge here.
Thank you very much and best regards Adriani

Re: NVDA integration in video games
Luke Robinett
I do a lot of music production work and much of that software is very graphical and inaccessible out of the box. People have created some really cool NVDA add-ons in that space that utilize screen recognition and some sort of learning algorithms to give access to user interfaces that are otherwise completely unrecognizable by NVDA. For an example of such a project, check out Sibiac. I think this shows the potential for NVDA to be augmented to do what you described, giving access to graphical interfaces that normally don’t provide hooks for screen readers.
