Its semi inconsistant, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
If its a cert is nvda itself needing an update with the right
certs or something.
It can't effect a load of us and not others randomly.
Its on several systems I have and 2 networks, I even ran a copy
without anything and its all its effecting.

Hi,
The author of Add-on Updater himself (I) have experienced
this once, and the workaround seems to be to visit
addons.nvda-project.org website using your preferred web
browser. If NV Access server was offline, chances are that
folks would have reported problems with not only Add-on
Updater, but NVDA update checks as well, affecting folks who
do ask NVDA to check for updates every day. Since it doesn't
affect everyone, chances are that the computer (more
specifically, the operating system) might be assuming that
the web trusts soon to expire security certificate without
realizing that it isn't - connecting to websites flagged as
secure (such as NV Access website) would inform Windows that
the web is safer again.

Couple issues with newest NVDA version
Hi, I just noticed that when I choose restart after pressing NVDA + Q, NVDA seems to exit and then not start up again on its own. I have to press the shortcut keys to start NVDA again. I've tried this with all the add-ons disabled as well and tried restarting my pc. Also, I don't hear a sound for when NVDA exits like I used to. I have the options ticked in settings to play sounds for when it starts and exits. Thank you for any help on this.
I tried searching for this in the forum, but could not find the answer, so I'm sorry if this has been asked before...

I know there was somethingn on google news today about https certificates etc that expired. Could this have happened with nvda's site, or anywhere else that could have an effect on what's going on?

Who knows, however who knows, Its more likely a lot of certs got
updated at once, I just got updates to chrome, edge, windows, and
a bunch of other things all of a sudden.
So could simply be that a lot of stuff suddenly needed renewing
but whho knows we may never know.

Hi,
I found the
vocalizer for nvda from Tiflotecnia company, from this
website
https://vocalizer-nvda.com/store
but from this
page, seems like no price is mentioned for this product.
Also, the copyright written at the bottom of the page is
2013, now its 2021.
The price is 90 EUR.
So, if I continue
buying this thing, will it work with my nvda 2021? Or this
is it's old website and this product is migrading to new
website and I am missing something here?
The Vocalizer Expressive is already compatible with NVDA 2021.2
and will keep compatibility with new versions...
I know the code factory version, but
unfortunately for that version, it's auto language switching
is not good. It doesn’t have the switch language base on the
Unicode character feature. Meaning for the auto language to
work, the document or webpage must be set up with correct
language tag. So if for example in notepad, auto language
switching will not happen even if I am reading text in another
language.
Plus, the code factory version does not
have the compact or low quality voices, I prefer that voices
rather than the high quality/premium voices, just like on the
phones.
So this vocalizer from Tiflotecnia has that
things that I want. So wwanting to know whether it will work
or not on latest nvda.
Yes, it works with actual version and will keep working with all
new versions of NVDA.
Is the voices updated too?
No, not yet.
We plan to update them to version 2, but not yet a scheduled
date...

Ordering from BookDepository?
Hey folks. Has anyone successfully placed an order with Book Depository? I was pretty happy with the way things were going, until the very last moment. Everything seems to be fine from an accessibility standpoint, except for the combo boxes where you’re supposed to select your credit card expiry date. It’s like there’s no text in the boxes at all when they expand. I’m not sure if there’s a changing image or what, but NVDA (latest) acts as if they are empty no matter how I arrow around in them. I’ve tried this with both latest Chrome and Firefox. I’ve also tried an older version of JAWS (2018) and, needless to say really, that didn’t work either/had the same result. I’ve already contacted them about this problem, but I wanted to send these books off as a gift to a friend in the next few days, so any further information I can give them at this point might be helpful. Anyone know what is up with these particular combo boxes?

Web: nvda.es Experto certificado en NVDA De: Bhavya shah Enviado: jueves, 30 de septiembre de 2021 15:03 Para: nvda Asunto: [nvda] Calendar Programs Dear all, I use NVDA 2021.2 on a Windows 10 machine. I am aware calendar apps are typically used on the phone. However, I prefer doing productivity tasks on my computer. Hence, I am looking for free and accessible calendar software. I would be happy with something basic that does the job without many bells and whistles. I would truly appreciate all suggestions and recommendations on this.

I can access nvda-project.org, nvaccess.org and the nvaccess.com
redirect just fine at least via the web.
I can download from both manually.
Just did an ipconfig/flushdns and I got back in.
So yeah who knows nvda updaters continue to refuse to work so if
its a error on my end I should have had other things going on.

Hi from me,
Just to let you know that I'm unable to access the NV access
site, nor am I able to do the add-on and/or NVDA updates.
Cheers,

pops up the same error message
Hi,
The author of Add-on Updater himself (I) have experienced
this once, and the workaround seems to be to visit
addons.nvda-project.org website using your preferred web
browser. If NV Access server was offline, chances are that
folks would have reported problems with not only Add-on
Updater, but NVDA update checks as well, affecting folks who
do ask NVDA to check for updates every day. Since it doesn't
affect everyone, chances are that the computer (more
specifically, the operating system) might be assuming that
the web trusts soon to expire security certificate without
realizing that it isn't - connecting to websites flagged as
secure (such as NV Access website) would inform Windows that
the web is safer again.
Cheers,
Joseph

Its semi inconsistant, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
If its a cert is nvda itself needing an update with the right
certs or something.
It can't effect a load of us and not others randomly.
Its on several systems I have and 2 networks, I even ran a copy
without anything and its all its effecting.
