Intel or AMD: does the processor make a difference to NVDA
Hi all,
I am planning to upgrade my desktop. Do CPU brands make a difference to how well a screen reader runs? Will NVDA work as well with an intel CPU as with a AMD CPU? I suspect it does not but prefer checking. Pranav

Re: Problem with NVDA Verbosity using MS Outlook
Luke
Hello, I’m a little late here, but if you want a keyboard shortcut to make Outlook work faster and not deal with all that nonsense, this is what I do., Press NVDA+ n to bring up NVDA menu, hit right arrow on preferences and arrow down to input gestures, arrow down to document formatting or press D for first letter navigation, then arrow right to expand, then arrow down to until you hear toggles on the reporting of tables and arrow right to expand. Then Make your input gesture for the keyboard shortcut. So next time you are in Outlook and are in a message and NVDA is giving all that verbosity and slowing things down, press the keyboard combination you made as a input gesture. If you want reporting of tables back on, press the keyboard combination again. Good luck! By the way I am using Outlook 365.

Re: Does the colour or font size of text in an image matter when performingOCR
Short answer, contrast between lettering and background is the most important factor unless you have really small print. Color, not so much.

Re: Does the colour or font size of text in an image matter when performingOCR
Vaibhav Saraf
Hi, Well this is something I have observed personally. Often on images when I perform OCR, it would ignore some text which it would catch when I zoom into the picture and then perform OCR. And if I am not wrong color contrast too has a role to some extent, experts may have a better view. Thanks, Vaibhav

I think the ATGuys add on does? Not sure. You could look into it and try a 7 day free trial.

Great info! As you alluded to, this isn’t something I generally need to do on a frequent basis or to multiple file types at once, so approaching it via the properties of a specific file would be a lot cleaner than trying to navigate that monstrous list. I didn’t realize you could access that setting from file properties. Thank you very much, Brian. It still might be worth at least keeping in the back of our minds to come up with an accessible solution for navigating the file extensions list from Windows settings, in case people encounter use cases where that approach makes more sense. The navigation there is currently quite poor, as I outlined previously. This is no fault of NVDA nor any other screen reader, just a poorly thought out design in that area of the settings app. It could be easily mitigated if Microsoft added a search box at the top as is found in most other areas of settings, but such a relatively low traffic part of the OS isn’t likely to get that much attention from them, so perhaps a clever user could come up with some kind of NVDA plug-in to help bridge the gap. There are some other sections and windows with a similarly poor interface, where you are forced to tab between large lists of buttons, so the usefulness of such a plug-in could extend beyond that one screen. Thanks again.

Hi, This topic gets raised pretty frequently here but seldom gets much traffic, unfortunately. not sure if that’s down to a lack of general interest or because there simply aren’t many accessible options out there. Windows XP included a utility called windows movie maker which was reasonably accessible, but there seems to be no way to install that application in modern versions of windows. The app I use for audio recording, Reaper, is fully accessible and offers some limited video editing capabilities. That’s what I use for now but I would welcome a more fully featured accessible video editor.

Re: how to switch speech language
Fawaz Abdul rahman
Hi, If you are asking about ability to switch TTS with a hotkey, yes, you can do that in 2 ways: first, the easiest would be using the Switch Synth adon which you can get it from the following link: second, you can create profiles and assign shortcuts to these profiles from input gestures settings. note that you need to set the profile to manual activation when you are creating them. good luck.

Does the colour or font size of text in an image matter when performingOCR
Khalid Anwar
hello,
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I hope someone can provide a response.
when performing the NVDA plus r command and utilising object recognition, does the font size or colour of the text matter when it comes to legibility, what I mean is that if I change the colour of the font or the size, would I get a better result when using this method.

How should I read the parameter information of each method in Visual Studio?
Rowen Cary
I use C# to program, and I want to know how to read the parameter information of each method. Visual Studio has a shortcut key, Ctrl+Shift+Space or CtrL +k, p which is useless for me. When I use the above shortcut When you press the key, NVDA will only read "Ready", but using the up and down arrows does not read the given parameter information. Is this a bug in NVDA? Microsoft has related tutorials. The following is a link. After you open it, you can press the letter H to find the relevant instructions about the parameter information, However, it is useless for me, and perhaps more accurately, it is useless for NVDA. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/using-intellisense?view=vs-2019 I very much hope that NVDA can do this and look forward to your reply.
