hi,
you could go to “Select the actions which require previous
confirmation” list in the clipp contents designer settings, and
uncheck “Confirm to add text”.
Hope that helps.

While listening I heard him say to type S N D V O L and press enter. But what I actually heard was tinvol not S N D V O L. I am still frequently disgusted with how messy the pronunciation tables are for the different synths.
- Well, it's never easy to decide how to "pronounce the unpronounceable." Without getting too "linguist geeky" every language has what are called phonotactic constraints, which means certain sound combinations that are, and are not, allowed to occur in combination with each other. In English, S N D, as those three letters alone, violates phonotactic constraints. There's no English word where those three consonants, in succession, exist or can be pronounced. And when any effort to try to pronounce this as anything other than a letter sequence is made, the result is, in one way or another, wrong. You'll often hear people say "send vol," turning the opening into an English word that conforms to the phonotactic constraints of the language. But they're not saying what's written on the page, but trying to come up with something that they can get out of their mouths. Very often a number of entries in my default dictionary are acronyms that are unpronounceable under English phonotactic constraints as their single letters. NVDA as N V D A being a perfect example. Words, and particularly surnames where I grew up, that have their roots elsewhere in the world are hell for an English reader because you often have no idea how to pronounce them. My favorite example, and a real one from my younger days, was the surname spelled D Z I A G W A. I challenge any native English speaker to come even close to guessing how that one sounds. It was pronounced as jungwa. (that leading j is like the g in giraffe). The poor synth folks really can't win, and I suspect this sort of things occurs in any language when something is spelled out in a way that language just doesn't allow. --

That input help in NVDA is about as useless as the monitor is to a total blind person.
Least with JFW you can edit the file for input key information.

Since fn keys in combination with other keys never announce what action is being taken either with input help on or off and since what they do varies from computer to computer, I think it is a very bad idea to experiment with them. You need specific information about your computer.
Does input help describe keys like audio commands? Of course, it describes standard keys and commands but I don't have commands such as audio commands on keyboards I use.

Subject: Re: [nvda] muting
Fn is a key found on most laptops and some desktop keyboards - it's basically a modifier key you hold down and press another key to perform an action (which a full size desktop computer probably has either a key or a button for). The most common is the F1 - F12 function keys often perform other duties such as adjusting brightness, volume or disabling a trackpad mouse on a laptop. On some keyboards you actually have to press Fn+function key to perform the regular function, which is frustrating - you can normally toggle that, but exactly how varies from keyboard to keyboard.
In terms of figuring out what keys do, if you press NVDA+1 (the 1 on the number row, above q) it puts NVDA in Input Help mode. Any key you press while in this mode won't do anything, but NVDA will tell you what it is, so it can be a way to find your way around a new keyboard without sighted help.
If you normally use F7 to mute NVDA, that's not an NVDA keystroke, but it's likely that is the key to mute your computer's sound. The keystroke to mute NVDA is NVDA+s, but if F7 works, that's achieves what you need. If it's not working right now, it might be that you've accidentally toggled your function key Fn lock.

Hello Brian
I have used F7 to toggle speech off and on before, but did not turn it off with F7 on this occasion, and F7 would not turn it back on. What is “Fn”?

Neil,
Mute is typically done through a dedicated key on some media keyboards, or through F6 or F7 (when used as media keys) on many laptops and some desktop keyboards. All it takes to trigger a mute by accident is Fn+F6 (or F7) and often Fn+F6 (or F7) will toggle it back off.
This is another of those instances where make and model information as well as whether any media keys function is enabled (and for a screen reader user I'd very, very strongly suspect it's not unless the machine is brand new and untweaked yet). Some makers do highly unconventional things as far as what function keys correspond to what media functions.
Gene's advice about using sndvol and getting a cheap external USB soundcard are both things to try and do.

To turn it off, use control NVDA key d to open document formatting.
Tab to emphasis, uncheck it, then press enter. The dialog will close and you won't hear emphasis indicators any longer.

To prevent that happening, press ALT+f to open the file menu, press the down arrow key three times to get to the Info menu, press Tab to enter that menu and then press the down arrow to get to the Protected View menu. Press Tab again and you'll be on the Enable Editing option and, if you press enter, that document will become unprotected and the NVDA user should no longer hear the warning that the document is protected and can't be edited. It will remain unprotected even after you close the document or shut down the computer. The same works with Excel files :)
I hope that helps.

I had to use Narrator to get me out of a tight spot yesterday, and
I've noticed this in previous experiences as well. Narrator, and
every other screen reader on Windows 7, gave the alt+tab list as a
number out of total programs, for example Windows Media Player 2 of
3. Now on 10, Narrator is the only screen reader that does this.
Everything else I've used with Windows 10 says "Windows Media Player row 1 column 2."
To me this is not useful at all, because I have no idea how many rows

I don't see behavior to support that. the stops in reading occur at the same place in web pages, often in the middle of something like an article. The reading isn't interrupted in the examples I'm discussing to allow content to be read from a live region update.

Hi all,
Okay, this is probably one of the strangest problems I've seen.
Sometimes, NVDA will skip around websites that have lots of add
content, but not always, though I can't seem to make it work reliably.
Here's what happens:
1. I open several websites in Firefox, one in each window.
2. I try to read one of them using NVDA+Down Arrow.
3. As I'm reading them, NVDA either skips words or rereads words. I'd
post a link to where this is likely to happen, but I can't seem to
reproduce it reliably myself. Today I revisited the site I was having
this problem with yesterday, but it didn't do it there. It did,
however, do it on the site I first discovered it on a couple weeks ago
today.
