Re: Musescore and NVDA
Sascha Cowley
A quick Google search reveals several results about using MuseScore with NVDA. Furthermore, as free and open source software, there is really no reason you could not have tried this for yourself.

Musescore and NVDA
Hello.
Maybe It is strange question, maybe no. I have a question. Is Musescore accessible with NVDA, or no? Also, can I enter and play notes with Musescore using NVDA? Thank You. best regards Marco Oros

I haven't tried it recently, but in the past it has been minimally usable with object nav and a very good memory. But I wouldn't recommend it.

It's possible that it has improved in the last couple years, but they showed no interest in its accessibility back then. Luke

Re: Word problem
Quentin Christensen
Bob, Could you please send us a debug log? I just tried and can't reproduce here with a quick test using OneCore at least. Which synthesizer are you using? Also, as a workaround and possibly better solution anyway, if you use SHIFT to pause speech rather than control, you can press SHIFT again to keep reading where it left off. The other thing I thought was because NVDA grabs blocks of text (eg sentences) if you have a particularly long sentence stretching over a page, could it be that it is at the start of that block and it's just that it's long that you noticed it? Quentin.

Word problem
Bob Cavanaugh
Hi all,
I'm running Word 2016 and NVDA 2020.4, though this happened with 2020.3 as well. I'm having a weird issue with Word that I was just able to test thoroughly. When reading a relatively short document, this isn't an issue, but the longer the document is the bigger of an issue it becomes. I start NVDA reading the document, and it reads normally. If I use the control key to stop NVDA before it announces a new page, I am where I expect to be in the document. However, if NVDA has announced a page change before I stop reading and then I use control to stop, I am back where I last stopped instead of where I stopped reading. Bob

Re: problems with a punctuation mark
It was actually easy for me to figure out. In 1994 when I was about 12 years of age I would play around with the shift numbers and memorise what the bang and at was in braille as well as i would emboss them. So for me bang means exclaim, and you would say "bang!" to mean it. Like "bang! Bang!" he's dead." Hope that somewhat helps -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

Re: Braille Formatting
Cearbhall O'Meadhra
Gentlemen, The setting for this is sometimes called “Compress blank spaces” as it is called in the Orbit Reader. I would expect the Braille display to manage this rather than NVDA. Does the Brailliant offer such a choice?
All the best,

Not that I can think of. There is a Braille setting to "Read by paragraph" but I think it uses the Word model of hard line break (eg when you've pressed enter while typing) = new paragraph.

Re: accenting letters
Although all who have mentioned that accented characters are indeed separate characters with separate character codes, and that these can be inserted using the ALT+ unicode method, there are programs, MS-Word being one, where you can get these by entering "the accent mark sequence," usually CTRL+ the accent mark you want, BEFORE typing the character upon which you want that accent placed.

Re: accenting letters
Quentin Christensen
You can hold down ALT, type a number and release alt. For instance, to type an "a acute", á, press alt, type the numbers 0 2 2 5 and let go. Here's a chart: https://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/windows/codealt/ If you have to type a particular letter regularly, you will likely get used to that sequence. For instance, I've used the British pound symbol a few times, and remember that it is alt 1 5 6: £. In some cases, you might find creating a reference file you can quickly access to pull up commonly used symbols. EG if you work with a lot of different currencies, or music symbols. If you need to type the letters from a particular language regularly, then you can set Windows up to use the keyboard for that language in Windows Language settings, then you can switch between them with WINDOWS+spacebar. Regards Quentin. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: accenting letters
JM Casey
Hey Robert.
Every accented letter will have a different character code. They are each their own symbol; you don’t “add the accents to letters”, as such, as far as the pC is concerned. So, for the specific accent you want, you can look up the character code (alt code) on the web (or in the windows character map if you can figure it out – it’s gotten a bit more complicated since the XP days and I think I’ve more or less given up on it)…and enter it. I usually do this by turning the numlock on on my number pad, and entering in the code while holding down the alt key. So for example, for an e acute, I would enter alt 130. There are different encoding systems so there are several ways of getting the same characters. But this method works for most common accented letters.

What do I need to do to accent a letter. I tried what google suggested, pressing ctrl+(apostrophe) then quickly releasing and pressing the letter. this doesn't seem to work.

Re: problems with a punctuation mark

Hi, I’ve seen that with windoweyes and I think they do it with Jaws if you want it to. NVDA’S had been using Bang as the exclamation mark for some time. I have Jaws say Bang just as NVDA does.

Using "bang" for the exclamation mark doesn't make sense for North American users either, since it's not called that in North America. Both "Espeak NG" and "Windows OneCore" call it "Bang", and I couldn't figure out what was meant.

While this is not "dirt common" for someone trying to describe that punctuation in an English class, or when discussing it, it is very, very common in computing circles worldwide, and has been for decades. I first learned bang as an alternative name for exclamation point back in the very early 1980s, and not in the context of screen readers. Brevity is important when an auditory stream is involved and, as such, hearing bang increases speed significantly. "Bang,bang,bang," reads a heck of a lot faster than "exclamation point,exclamation point,exclamation point." But regardless of what the "short version" of certain punctuation marks might be chosen, someone's not going to be familiar with them initially. That's where asking comes in, along with changing if you really just can't stand it. Another one, not discussed here and not nearly as common as either tick or bang is hook for question mark.

Announcement Only: Asking whether a specific program is accessible with NVDA
#adminnotice
Hello All,
Let me open this notice with my sincere thanks to members who have been consistently making an effort to think about whether the question they're about to ask, or whatever they're about to discuss, is better placed here on the NVDA Main Group or the Chat Subgroup. This has really made the content in both venues more productive and (for the main group) focused. That being said, I am going to repeat something that is in our Welcome Notice, Monthly Reminder Notice, and our main group description on Groups.io: The central purpose of the NVDA Group is discussing how to use NVDA. This includes configuring NVDA's settings or familiarizing oneself with its modes and commands. Discussions about which programs are accessible using NVDA, NVDA add-ons, NVDA tutorials and documentation, and configuring synthesizers or Braille displays for use with NVDA are also permitted. Note that the third sentence starts with a statement that, "Discussions about which programs are accessible using NVDA," are permitted. I don't want to drive questions about whether something is accessible if you're using the NVDA screen reader off the main group. This is vital information to know, and the answer can change over time. It's a very good thing to be asking here. It's only if questions are about, "How do I do thing X in program Y?," where the discussion is not really about NVDA, but about program Y. Those sorts of deep dives (or even not so deep dives) about how to do something in program Y or how program Y works in general or the features it has, do belong in the Chat Subgroup. They're about program Y and any NVDA commands are incidental to the answers. But don't hesitate to ask about whether program Y is accessible using NVDA on the main group. In fact, please do when you have that question. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.
