Re: Accessible Word Processor Biblos--Why did I never know about this?
I just downloaded this and will be trying it out. I've been using LibreOffice, but I'm always open to trying other options, and I like that this supports Markdown.

Trouble report: If you change the sort order using the drop-down on the first page, it only works on the first page. When hit the Next link on the bottom of page one the subsequent page reverts to your default ordering. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hi.
I've kept the current default option, that is, it moves most recently updated add-ons to the top of the table, but also added a combo box to choose if you want to order it by name or summary, A-Z. I've also added a checkbox to only show official add-ons as a quick solution for grouping by official and unofficial, but I'll look into it deeper in the following days, since some more suggestions where made that would need to rebuild the SQL query structure and the table.

You know its interesting just how far and how much its lost with JFW and its access with Microsoft office products have dropped.- I honestly have no idea how to interpret this statement. I've been around JAWS since JFW 10 (I think, it might have been 9) and I have seen nothing but an upward trend in accessibility for MS-Office programs, with the exception of MS-Access, on the whole. I'd say, in fact, that accessibility in general, across the board, has been on nothing but an upward trend with the occasional (and really frustrating) one step back after multiple steps forward. And most of those steps back do not seem to be the result of intent, but because of either an actual bug or because a given screen reader maker is not keeping up with changes Microsoft is making. There are very few changes to Microsoft software that are not announced, and even development versions made available, well in advance of their actual release. The last time I witnessed big screen reader lag was at the introduction of Windows 10 back in 2015, and almost all of it was because the screen reader software was not updated in a timely manner for something known to have been coming for some time in advance. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Iván,
I'll never argue that giving the user the ability to choose their sort order is a bad idea. Better than sticking with my suggestion as a fixed "one and only" option. I still think it makes sense as a default option, but others may feel very differently. But when this comes to fruition some default order will need to be selected. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think it would be useful, in general, to add an sorting system
where the user could select the field which sort addons by. E.g:
combo box, order by: name, summary, last updated. I think it
shouldn't be very difficult to implement it. I have to redesign
some parts of the home page, so noted down this as well.

Re: Introducing NVDA-addons.org, the largest international add-ons store with official and unofficial add-ons from all NVDA communities
Iván,
First and foremost, thank you for all the time and effort to bring this to fruition. It's a welcome addition. I am about to make a suggestion, if I may, and that is to organize the add-ons list by add-on name. As it looks now, the arrangement may be much like the old community add-ons page, which shifted based upon when the last update to a given add-on was made. I have always hated this, and find it to be a very confusing arrangement (and some of that is because I can see, and having things change spots "at random" as updates occur doesn't allow one to get used to where anything "should be" on a given webpage). I find it far easier to have a list where, like most things that have names, alphabetical order by name is used. Although I know this may not be done, you won't get what you don't ask for. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Introducing NVDA-addons.org, the largest international add-ons store with official and unofficial add-ons from all NVDA communities
Iván Novegil
Dear NVDA users across the world,
I'm pleased to announce to you the availability of the final version of NVDA-addons.org, the first website created to serve as an international directory for both official and unofficial NVDA add-ons. Indeed, this project aims to gather the download links of all possible add-ons, within logical standards of usability. You won't have to search in Google anymore to, at the end, find an outdated version uploaded to Dropbox, or ask through your preferred mailing list until someone is able to rescue and send you as an attachment that add-on that is distributed from mailbox to mailbox for years. In NVDA_addons.org, your favourite add-on may be hosted by Dropbox, but we, both users and administrators, will make our best to guarantee you its most updated release. Moreover, you'll be able to know before downloading any add-on its exact compatibility range and development status. The platform has been self-developed by us and has the following features:
How can you collaborate?
What happens if you have an interested friend who doesn't know English? That's, in fact, the idea behind the translate widget. Just choose your native language and enjoy. We know that no translation can match a human translation, but this is our easiest and simplest solution to have NVDA-addons.org internationalized. If you want to export our catalog to your local NVDA website, don't forget that it's available in JSON format at https://nvda-addons.org/files/get.php?addonslist On the other hand, don't worry to write us a message in another
language. We'll make our best to reply you. What is coming next? We're now announcing the first version of
the website but can't wait to think about the future. Héctor
Benítez has developed an add-ons store prototype for
NVDA-addons.org, which will be enhanced until it gets to a stable
version that we all can use to review the catalog and download the
add-ons we want from NVDA directly. You can download the
prototype, in spanish, from:
https://nvda-addons.org/files/get.php?file=tienda
I really hope this new tool is useful for you and every NVDA user you know. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Best regards. --

clearing up some issues with some brf files I have on a braille notetaker. For a while I was looking for software that would let me work with brf files and although I got a duxbury demo, for my really specific situation it just didn't work so I just kept searching. I tried Braille Blaster but it wasn't right for what I was trying to do, so I googled "free braille translator", came across the page at Index embossers, and found Biblos. Biblos saved the day. I used Biblos to convert my wrongly encoded brf files from my notetaker to the correct encoding which can be read by most devices and it worked and I'm so happy! I did it by opening the braille file in windows notepad, copying the contents, pasting it into Biblos and exporting the brf. Anyway, this is a really special use case for Biblos but man it really saved my life and I'm so happy. Biblos may come into handy for other things but for now i'll use it to fix my lovely brf files lol.

Accessible Word Processor Biblos--Why did I never know about this?
Jackie
Ok, so I guess this is not strictly NVDA-related per se, though the
program does have an addon specifically for use w/NVDA. Here's some of the impressive features the software offers. It's called Biblos, & it allows the opening and saving of files of an incredible number of formats, to include .docx, .doc, .rtf, Markdown (woohoo!) & more. & no, woohoo is *not* a file format lol. It's just that those who know me even a little know what a fangirl of Markdown I am. It allows printing of files to Braille. It allows drawing of vector graphics, especially for tactile graphics, but also for any purpose where vector graphics can be used. Thus, we can draw pictures using text representations. It allows typical formatting all word processors have in common, ie, bold, italic, headings, endnotes, footnotes, etc. I hate to say it, but I think 1 of the reasons this little gem has been overlooked is because the gentleman who programmed it seems to be fluent only in Italian, & translation of the software into other languages is kind of automated. So yeah--some of the help guide syntax is a bit awkward, but folks, really--I consider myself pretty well acquainted w/what's out there, & I haven't encountered this 1 before. Yall can get it at: http://www.digrande.it/en/Biblos.aspx Once downloaded, go to the scripts folder and install the NVDA addon appropriate to your version of NVDA, & you're golden. For those looking for a free and accessible alternative to Word, you might wish to check this 1 out! As for me, adios, Jarte, as well as to my now unsupported version of Word. -- Subscribe to a WordPress for Newbies Mailing List by sending a message to: wp4newbs-request@freelists.org with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by visiting the list page at http://www.freelists.org/list/wp4newbs & check out my sites at www.brightstarsweb.com & www.mysitesbeenhacked.com

Re: Adobe DC Pro crashes with NVDA
Well he needs to remove adobe reader and then install the 32 bit version. Have no idea why the fudge adobe reader dc 64 bit crashes when reading pdfs I mean it shouldn't. I loaded it a few months ago because well for the hell of it. And well it crashed with every pdf I loaded into it its unknown why it does it but its not like it matters. Happily thunderbird 64 bit works here but after issues with firefox 64 bit I am back on 32 bit as well. If you can get to the adobe reader ftp site under the adobe/ reader/ win/ adobe dc you can get the latest classic adobe reader dc in your language of choise though it doesn't matter what version you get. If you get that you can upgrade from that to the continuous release and thats what I am doing from now on. Of course that was always 32 bit and since adobe don't seem to be updating their font and spelling components and all of those work on 32 bit only I see no reason to bother with adobe reader 64.

Re: Resource: Youtube Video From Thee Quinn: How to Use Microsoft Access With NVDA: Part 1

You know its interesting just how far and how much its lost with JFW and its access with Microsoft office products have dropped. When i beta tested office 4.3 with JFW 3 it was totally accessible. However, that was under henter Joyce and he wanted Office to be the power for those that work. Now you have to fight for the accessibility he tried to achieve. Thanks to him I got A's for all my Microsoft classes witch got me
in the beta program. Back then office was so easy everything
worked..
