Does anyone have any ideas?

I'd like to know what screen reader the new Sony PlayStation is going to use.

With the advent of cloud-based file sharing, and tons of free services to accomplish that, I expect we'll see that feature dying out even where it's present as time goes by.

Also what about NVDA as well? 

How does it work for VoiceOver? Sorry if this is off topic… 

for those people who heard the voiceover recognition is not that great, you are wrong. I tried it, and it is just completely amazing! I now have access to apps which were completely completely in accessible before. It's amazing.

Hi

No, you cannot swap files with NVDA remote but there is a way of passing the contents of small text files to/from a remotely connected computer via the push clipboard feature of the Remote add-on.

 

Cheers

Hello Ryan. I have used NVDA Remote with a few clients of mine in the past and it works well for them and I. What I have the clients do is to go into the NVDA remote sub menu, and choose the connect option. Then, I have the clients choose allow this machine to be controled, which is the second radio button. Then you put in the hostname  put in the hostname, which  is

nvdaremote.com

Then, I generate the key, and I give the key to the client, and away we go.

By the way, you can also create your own key by just thinking of a word, and putting the word in the key box and then telling the clients what the word is.

Thanks, Sky.

Hello last week I used the e-mail link on this pagehttps://nvdaremote.com/

To ask about an issue I am having with NVDA remote and I still haven’t heard back from anyone so not very happy.

I was trying to use nvda remote to connect to another NVDA user’s computer but when I tried to generate a key nothing happened so if anyone can advise me on how the nvda remote works to connect to another nvda user I would appreciate it.

Thanks Ryan

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!

This is a situation where all appearances are that it's on "the Chromium side" that the bug exists in that something that should be exposed to the screen reader in a standard way isn't being exposed.  This is particularly indicated by the fact that Firefox, which uses an entirely different rendering engine, doesn't have the problem, and you know the webpage code has to be the same.

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 Christiansen 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.

I tested it in Brave and the dialog wasn't read. I had to use object navigation, I believe with Browse Mode off, though thisw was a few hours ago and I'm not sure now.
