Hi Chico,
The direct download link of Joseph's archive of the recent NVDA related Techtalk presentation is http://nvda-kr.org/files/NVDA%20Tek%20Talk%20Presentation%2020160314.mp3 Despite having attended the presentation like you, I too downloaded the file, just for reference.

Hi Nasrin,

Though the question was addressed to Joseph, I hope you do not mind me chiming in. The NVDACon webpage offers comprehensive instructions on basic functional usage of Teamtalk and how you can acquire and configure it to join the conference. Please find below the relevant section of the page which explains the procedure to join the NVDACon International 2016 followed by the link from which the extract was taken, i.e. the NVDACon page. How to join us TeamTalk is a program that you run on your Windows PC (there is a Mac version available, but we have found that it does not work well with VoiceOver and so we do not recommend you use it). To get started, follow these steps: 1. Download the software (TeamTalk 5) from bearware.dk 2. When you are installing the above program, you will come to a screen where you can choose which components you want. Tab to the list of components and arrow down until you find the "TeamTalk 5 classic" option. Press space, then enter. For best results with screen reading software, it is strongly recommended that you do this; the standard (non-classic) version is not very accessible. 3. Once the setup process is complete, and you are in the TeamTalk application (start it up if it is not running already), follow the below procedure to connect to the server: ◦ From within TeamTalk, press f2. Tab until you get to the "host properties" group, and simply erase any information that may be already in the edit fields. For the "entry name", type anything you want that will tell you what this server is (for example, "NVDACon"). For "host address", type nvda-kr.org. Set TCP port to 10333 and UDP port to 10333 and skip everything else. Press enter on "join/update" and you should be all set. 4. Once you are logged on, you can join any of the available rooms (note that some may be password-protected). We first recommend doing an audio test (choose the option form the context menu) To join this or any room, just arrow to it and press control-j (to leave a room, arrow to it and press control-l). You can also hit the applications key, or shift-f10, on a room and choose the option you want. 5. While in any room, you will see three slider controls after the list of channels (rooms and channels are the same thing), along with an edit field. The first edit field is for system and user messages. The second lets you chat by typing text and pressing enter. The first slider changes your microphone's sensitivity (gain), the second changes the volume of the room in general as you hear it, and we are not sure what the third one does. If you are using the JAWS for Windows screen reader or NvDA, there are now JAWS scripts and NvDA add-on available for use with TeamTalk. The link will take you to a website where you can download these free scripts. We do not offer support for the scripts, though; please refer to the above link for help instead. NVDACon homepage: http://nvda-kr.org/en/nvdacon.php Looking forward to having you with us in the event, and many thanks again to Joseph for organizing this. Thanks.

speech hub and ducking.
ken lawrence
Hi listers ken here was fiddling around on synthesizers dialog on NVDA and
and didn’t find the ducking option in the dialog. also now another issue
is coming up. I also changed synthsizers to a speech hub cross platform
voice and I noticed that the NVDA isn’t saving configuration it’s going back to
the Espeak default. have switched back to sapi 5 and now I notice
that it’s still reverting back to default. screen reader keeps shutting
down too when I do some things. why isn’t it holding configuration or
ducking even though my computer shows save configuration is checked and am using
current version it shows that on programs and features installed on
2/22/2016 should I uninstall and reinstall a fresh copy from
scratch?

Well, do let us know in case you have some specific Teamtalk problems or troubleshooting requirements, and the TT experts here may be able to help you. Just to note, you can communicate in the conference via text messages as well as audio conversation. Text chats are always recognized and read out by others. If microphone configuration with TT is an issue for you, hope that may no longer need to be an impediment for participation in NVDACon. :) smiles Thanks.

One suggestion I have always had over addons which I never got to during the talk was that I wander if we could expand the functionality of the nvda addon manager. Be able to search for addons, display all addons and either choose the dev or the stable version tabs of the manager. Basically a frontend for the addons site similar to what mozilla uses it would be good. we could also have a tab for tutorials and other interesting casts and links to who knows. It could be part of nvda and maybe a sepperate thing who knows.

Are you reading line by line using the up and down arrows or moving in some other way such as by word? I don't use the laptop layout so I won't tell you how to set punctuation because I don't know if the laptop commands are the same. But the answer, whichever keyboard layout you are using depends in part on how you are moving.

Re: still some carricter help
Gene
I don't know why you are getting those
results. What you are hearing doesn't match how NVDA is supposed to
work. If you hold the numpad insert and press numpad 1, you should hear
something about no more review modes if you are in the last mode you can move
back to. But if the numpad insert were being held or were stuck on, you
shouldn't be able to use f5 to spell the current word. That command
requires that numpad insert not be on.
As I said, I don't know what the problem is but why
not try a portable copy either of the current version of NVDA or of the last
version that worked properly? It's always a good idea to have a portable
version of an earlier version of NVDA that worked
properly on your machine. Every time you upgrade, there is a risk of
something not working properly and if you keep a portable version that worked
properly, you can run it when you need it and try to solve the problem with the
new version of NVDA if you wish but still be able to do what you
want.
I don't know if this is an NVEDA problem or
something else. Testing with a portable version of the last version of
NVDA that worked properly will tell you. If it works properly, it's an
NVDA problem and you may want to try completely uninstalling and reinstalling
NVDA. If the portable version no longer works properly, then your problem
is something else.
Someone else will tell you how to completely
uninstall NVDA if you need to know. I've never done it and don't have the
description that has been given on the list on my computer.

benefit from using screen review commands anywhere else but you might benefit
from learning basic commands.
Numpad 1 is move back to and read previous

Numpad 4 5 and 6 are the same for
word.
7 8 and 9 are the same for line.
