Re: NVDA Screen Review Mode
Gene
When you are in screen review mode, you can move around the
screen and not change your place where you are working, for
example, in a word processor, you can move around and not change
the position of the cursor where you are working. Also, if you
are somewhere where you can't move around using Windows commands
such as up and down arrow, you can look at what is on the screen
in review mode. If an error message ccomes up, you can move
around it using screen review.

Re: NVDA Screen Review Mode

I don't know what you mean by over thinking. Do you know the commands? I can discuss the desktop layout but I don't use or know the laptop layout commands. Have you used the JAWS cursor? Screen review is very similar except that the movement commands are different.

I have no idea why you say it's an accessibility problem. I just loaded that page with NVDA, and when the dialog appears NVDA begins reading it, and it's controls.In my case, in Brave, I think it started by reading "free unlimited access to radio, playlists and podcasts." At least, the first time I went there. Subsequent tab closings and re-openings, put me wherever I was last on the page, even if it is supposedly covered by that dialog. The latter must be some Brave feature. That's what I'd expect to occur when the overlay occurs, and it does. The screen reader is doing for its user exactly what my eyes do for me.I beg to differ. You have said several times that the dialog is an overlay. Your eyes tell you that the things it's overlaying can not be used until the dialog is acted upon. Our ears do no such thing. Assuming you land on that dialog when the page opens (which is not always the case), there is no indication at all that you are in a dialog. It appears to just be some marketing puffery that is part of the page text. In fact, its headings (there seem to be two of them in the "dialog"), are reachable along with the page's other headings, with H/shift+H. You can demonstrate this by continuing to use the down arrow, or the b key in browse mode, to move "beyond" the supposed dialog, to get to other parts of the page. Your mouse can't access those things (like the play button), from what you've said, but the screen reader can. There is a reasonable presumption: that which can be reached, is meant to be reached. We have no way of knowing that a sighted person can't reach those other parts of the page. So no, I'm afraid the experience is not the same, and the screen reader is not providing the same information. Once the underlying page is obscured by that overlay/modal dialog focus shifts to it and you are forced to interact with it.In neither Firefox nor Brave, was the page ever obscured to NVDA in my tests. In neither browser, was I ever "forced to interact with it". I can easily move up and down, or by element shortcuts, between text in the dialog and things such as music categories, elements of the player, etc. There is no indication whatever that it is a dialog; that it obscures or covers anything; or that it includes a required interaction. This is exactly what it does if you'reWhat you described is nothing like what I experienced in either browser there, so I can only agree with Sascha that it is an accessibility problem. Or, there is an issue with the overlay comprehension in NVDA. In fact I vaguely remember a github issue about overlays not being correctly handled, but I can't now find it. Luke

Community add-ons notice: add-ons to be reviewed by me must be written strictly in Python 3, effective February 1, 2021
Hello all, Because I know that several add-on authors are members of NVDA users list and may or may not be part of NVDA Add-ons list, I’m writing this notice so resident add-on authors can be aware of changes taking place in add-on review process:
Effective February 1, 2021, any add-on authors seeking add-on review from me must write their add-ons in strict Python 3 mode.
Background: January 2020 marked end of life for Python 2. Since then, many projects have switched to Python 3, including NVDA with the release of 2019.3.
As a community add-ons reviewer, I didn’t really care about Python 2 and 3 compatibility for a while, knowing that add-ons may need to be written to support old and new NVDA releases. That window is coming to a close: effective February 1, 2021, any add-on to be reviewed by me must be written strictly in Python 3. This is so that the community can standardize on Python 3 from now on. I will make an exception if authors can demonstrate that parts of their add-on must be compatible with NVDA 2019.2.1 or earlier, and if so, I’ll keep that in mind as I review your add-ons.
Note that this policy deals with add-on reviews to be done by me – other community add-on reviewers may have their own policies about Python 3. But to help the community, I recommend moving to strict Python 3 development environment when writing add-ons.
Thanks. Cheers, Joseph

I would love to know why something this seemingly straightforward is handled so differently by two different web browsers, even two with completely different rendering engines. But you're absolutely correct that what one could logically infer under Firefox (very little) is very, very different than what one could using Brave (and I'd guess other Chromium-based browsers, though I haven't tried). -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 The depths of denial one can be pushed to by outside forces of disapproval can make you not even recognize yourself to yourself. ~ Brian Vogel

Fair enough. Using Firefox, it was not announced, nor was focus
trapped in it. Perhaps that was just something I did though, or a
bit of a fluke.

Re: NVDA Screen Review Mode
Actually tha'ts not quite true. I use screen review on a lot of newer programs and activate things with the mouse. I use screen review to read the screen, route and click. I never if I can help it use object review. Take care -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

Re: NVDA Screen Review Mode
Hi, Ah, I see. What you are describing is called “focus mode” where whatever key you press will be dealt not by NVDA but by the web application you are using. For example, pressing K while playing a YouTube video will pause the video if focus mode is on, whereas NVDA will move you to the next link if browse mode is active. Screen review, on the other hand, will let you review the contents of an app’s window. For example, under older programs, activating screen review mode will let you see the contents of the app that aren’t accessible with keyboard commands. These days screen review would not work properly in newer apps but you can find out the contents of a window by doing an OCR (NVDA+R). Cheers, Joseph

Well, I thought that screen review mode meant that a page allowed you to activate certain shortcuts that a page had. For example, on YouTube you can press “K” for it to pause and play.
