Re: Error in Firefox
Luke Davis
Solution number one when things are reading as "unknown", is to try running the COM Registration Fixing Tool in the NVDA Tools menu.

Error in Firefox
Whenever I open Firefox I hear NVDA say Unknown. At this point I’m unable to tab or do anything in the browser other than get into menus. This only happens in Firefox. Chrome and Edge work fine. I’m running NVDA 2020.4 and Windows 10 21H1 (64-bit) build 19043.899 An NVDA error log is below, but not sure what to make of it as I’m not a developer.

Re: unable to disable add ons for a given config profile?
That's fine. I don't really mind. Take your time in doing what ever it is you need to do to fix the sapi4 issues, as crashing voices is higher priority in my mind.

After thinking more about this, a possible solution has occurred to me. Someone could write a "Disable Add-ons in Config Profiles" add-on (perhaps with a better name). That add-on could listen for profile changes as Joseph described, and if the profile matches something pre-configured, have it look up all of another add-on's gestures, snapshot them, and disable them. That could be done with manager.userGestureMap.getScriptsForAllGestures (as I do in the Numpad Nav Mode add-on). Which I think would work fine for custom gestures, unless I'm forgetting something. Then, on reversion to default or any other profile, reverse the process. Provide a settings panel which lists available profiles, and gives a selection of add-ons which can be enabled or disabled in it. (Really, just enabling/disabling their keyboard shortcuts). I doubt I'd want to see that in core though. It seems as if it might be fragile; but as an add-on I could see it working. Luke

Re: unable to disable add ons for a given config profile?
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It is possible to let add-ons detect profile switches and "disable" themselves if a different app is in use (it requires add-ons to listen to config profile switched action and respond by removing/assigning gestures on the fly; it may not work for custom gestures). In reality, you are not making add-ons disable themselves completely - you are effectively going to let add-ons tell NVDA that they don't want to respond to hotkeys as long as you are focused in a specific window. Python doesn't have a facility to arbitrarily unload modules once imported. Right now NV Access and several testers are trying to resolve a really critical issue for SAPI4 synthesizer users. Specifically, NVDA crashes if trying to use SAPI4 synthesizers. Hopefully it can be resolved before 2021.1 beta is released, but if not, one of the following could happen: * NVDA may need to use older and thus quite insecure version of Python (Python 3.7 has entered security fixes mode, so only source code releases will be made), and this is based on a dump analysis from Mick Curran from NV Access who noted that this issue is specific to Python 3.8 and later. * It appears the issue might be something to do with a library Python uses, and if yes, we need to talk to Python core developers so they can resolve it by the time Python 3.10 comes out later this year. * We may need to say goodbye to built-in support for SAPI4 speech synthesizers. I have several NVDA pull requests lined up and/or are undergoing planning phase, but due to SAPI4 issue and a host of other problems, I have informed NV Access that I'll target most of my pull requests for 2021.2 or later. Put it simply, I won't expect Sarah's suggestion to be worked on anytime soon. Sorry. Cheers, Joseph

Re: New NVDA user who's looking for Eloquence
Easiest way is to go to atguys.com and buy either the sapi or addons for eloquence and vocaliser. I would personally buy the sapi and then forget about it but yeah thats basically it. Install the launchers, activate them, then download your voices and go nuts.

Reminder to Members about using most recent versions where possible
#adminnotice
Hello All,
This is a reminder about the group rule about NVDA software, in particular, but others in general: Upgrade to the latest version of NVDA before posting questions. For all other software, please do the same when possible, but where not be sure you are using a version currently in support. At the moment there are pending messages asking about version 2019.3, which needs to be updated to 2020.4 to see if that fixes the issue, first. -- 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. And then you destroy yourself. ~ Richard M. Nixon

Re: NVDA doesn't read context menu
Rowen Cary
In fact, this problem plagues many NVDA users, not only uninstalling Office, even if you uninstall Mathplayer, it will also cause this to happen.
I think the Com registration repair tool is not reliable. This requires improvement by NVAccess. The following may help you: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2807#issuecomment-320149243
