Re: Can't update NVDA

Ann, there is a lot you don't tell us here. What version of Windows

are you running? What version of NVDA do you currently have? Would it be possible for you to please copy and paste the precise error message?

Dennis,
You have already asked this question in this group, and received a suggested solution from me, that was further expanded upon by Brian. If this solution is unsatisfactory for whatever reason, please kindly explain why. https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/topic/84470300

Re: Can't update NVDA
Gene
Try rebooting and have NVDA not run at boot up. Run another
screen-reader. Then install the new version. Though you shouldn’t
have the problem, no NVDA file will be in use if NVDA never runs. I wonder
if the problem is caused by an add-on.

have tried to update NVDA both using the update feature in the menu and downloading/installing the newest version. I get an error message either way, stating that a file is in use and the update fails. I can't find NVDA in my listed programs, so I can't uninstall it. There are no NVDA folders in appdata. there is another user profile on my computer, but that user hasn't logged on since before covid, and wouldn't use NVDA if he were. Where do I find the offending file, or how can I override this error? thanks much, Ann

Hello Chris, I suspect you are correct. This doesn’t happen with jaws so I may consider purchasing code factory equlonce but as this is a minor inconvenience I may just keep with George. Just exploring really. Kind regards, Dennis huckle.

Hi Dennis I suspect this may be a function of the synthesizer you are using rather than NVDA. I have tried it with 4 different synthesizers and all announce 18:00.

Re: Stopping NVDA from reading partial URLs in Firefox.
John Isige
OK, I've figured out the issue, at least. I literally just turned off every search thing I can find, I even changed it from use the address bar to search and told it to put a search thingy in the toolbar. The reason it's reading something is because it's literally filling in a URL. So for example, if I type www, it literally writes www.youtube.com into the address bar. So I think what's happening is that as I type, it's filling that in, or something else if it finds another match, until I type enough that it can't match anymore. I have no idea where it's pulling from though.
Anyway since this is apparently a Firefox problem now, I'll go and do my own digging on it, so as not to be off topic.

Announcement Only: Accessible Python Editor Study
SBillah
Moderator's Note: I have chosen to allow this announcement because opportunities such as this one do not present themselves very often at all and I know that we have at least some members who are active or aspiring Python coders. It will be locked immediately upon posting. Please contact Dr. Billah directly, at the e-mail address provided, with any questions regarding this study or participation in it.
---------------- I am Syed Billah; I am an assistant professor at the Pennsylvania State University. One of our research agenda is to make computer programming accessible to students with vision impairments. Our lab recently developed a research prototype of an accessible online editor for Python. Programming languages like Python are predominantly visual. As a result, sighted programmers often rely on visual cues, such as empty spaces, highlighting parentheses, to write error-free code in an editor. Unfortunately, most editors fail to properly convey these visual cues in audio, making it difficult to write code non-visually.
We hope our prototype overcomes these challenges and lets someone writes Python code non-visually.
Currently, we are running a study to test this prototype. We invite adults with vision impairments who are familiar with Python to participate in our study.
Participants will be asked to read/write simple Python code non-visually using screen readers (e.g., NVDA). The study will be conducted over Zoom video conferencing software. It will take 2 hours, and we'll pay an Amazon Gift card of USD $50 to compensate for the individual's time. Please note that payment may take a week due to the official process. If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact me, Syed Billah at sbillah@....
Thank you,

Regarding SAP Accessibility
ANILKUMAR K R
Hi,
Do hope that you all are keeping well. I have come with some of the queries with regard to SAP-ERP. I would like to get orientation about SAP system and would like to learn how to work in it with the help of NVDA or JAWS. I have with me licensed JAWS 2020. Please let me know that is it fully accessible? If not, is there any addon by installing the same, we can work. Actually, in my office, many works which should be done in SAP. Is there any tutorial available? Is any institution which provides training in SAP? Kindly throw some light to address my issues which would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Anil

Re: Making phonetic pronunciations for numbers
Quentin Christensen
Good question. I am not a linguist, but I know when I was taught the phonetic alphabet, for numbers, it was more speaking clearly and stressing the sounds, I found a chart here: https://vks737.radio/phonetic-alphabet-numerals/ Not sure if that helps.

Re: Stopping NVDA from reading partial URLs in Firefox.
Gene
I just checked this. As I thought, if you search in the address bar,
control l, you will hear suggestions spoken. If you use control k, a
search field for searching and nothing else, you will not hear suggestions
spoken.
Control k, type the search and press enter. The results page will
come up. it will be the results page from your default search
engine. I believe in Firefox, its Google, but I’m not sure.

Making phonetic pronunciations for numbers
Maria S
I have an unusual ask of any of the developers out there. I have an
auditory processing disorder, and I have become increasingly more reliant on being able to have a character's phonetic name given if I need it. However, this doesn't work with numbers. I dug around in the dictionary and language settings but couldn't find anything that really worked. Is it even possible to do this? By the way, I definitely love Braille but I have to save some money to et my display fixed. Otherwise this would be less of a problem. Thanks for any ideas or thoughts. Feel free to contact me privately at raynbo15@gmail.com if that is easier. Have a great day, Maria S

Re: Any adverse impact on NVDA if I install the Microsoft Defender Application Guard?

Re: Outlook Training Error
Quentin Christensen
Brian, you're absolutely right! It's one of the trickiest things about Office. If you're using Office 2003, or 2007, or 2010, I can tell you the keystroke for a particular function (well, maybe not off the top of my head, but they don't change). Office 2016? There were several updates which changed things around. And Office 365 is constantly changing. So I've looked a bit more at this ribbon change, called the "Simplified" ribbon. Microsoft apparently introduced it early this year, although seemingly to the online office first, then Outlook, and I haven't seen it anywhere else yet, but I expect it will find its way across the suite. Here's their page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-the-simplified-ribbon-44bef9c3-295d-4092-b7f0-f471fa629a98 It indicates it applies to Office 365 and Outlook 2016. It's basically a nightmare, designed entirely for touch users, and I would strongly encourage everyone to switch to the classic ribbon, for several reasons: - The classic ribbon is consistent. The keystrokes often don't make sense, but at least they don't change. In the simplified ribbon, items can move in or out of the "overflow" area depending on how often you use them (or you can manually pin or unpin things). That wouldn't be so bad for keyboard users, if the keystroke wasn't completely different depending on whether an item is in the ribbon or the overflow area. - Using the classic ribbon, you can tab through every option. Using the simplified ribbon, you can tab through the visible options, but you will need to enter one, and sometimes more than one, overflow ribbon, in order to explore features. You can revert to the classic ribbon by pressing alt to move to the menu, then applications key to open the context menu, and choose "Use classic ribbon". Quentin.
