Because what can be seen, literally, is more than clear enough to run OCR processing on.

No, this one cames from my personal collection...

As far as I know, it is not yet oficially updated...

Is this on the nvda add ons site, the one that lists *all* add ons which I cant’ remember now? The one someone so kindly put together?

What the user wants is that NVDA announces automatically the phonetic alphabet.

 

He must use this add-on:

Author: David CM
Add-on name: Enhanced Phonetic Reading
Description: This add-on add some features to phonetic reading as the following:
announce the character description for the last read character after n milliseconds when the character was read by character review commands, E.G. left and right arrow keys, left, current or right character review commands, ETC.
Read the character description instead of the current character. This feature must be enabled or disabled manually and will be deactivated when NVDA is closed.

Hi Sameer,

 

NVDA can give you phonetic pronunciation, but the execution is slightly different.  If you press many NVDA keystrokes once, they will read the information, twice quickly spells it, and three times quickly spells it phonetically.  For instance, if you press NVDA+up arrow (or NVDA+l if using laptop keyboard layout), NVDA will read the current line.  If you press it twice quickly, it will spell the current line, and if you press it three times quickly it will spell it phonetically.

 

For words, press numpad 5 or NVDA+control+dot

For the current character, press numpad 2 or NVDA+dot

 

(For those thinking ahead, yes they report the word or character at the review cursor, but anyone not already familiar with that probably isn't moving the review cursor independently of the caret too often).

Dear List Members,


In JAWS, if the user stays on a letter for 5 seconds, JAWS will speak
the letter phonetically. For example, if the user stays on the letter G
in the word God, JAWS will first read G & after 5 seconds, say Golf.


Is there a similar setting or add-on in NVDA?

Good morning,

As I mentioned above, the NVDA menus are not reading when I use the NVDA+N command. I tried exiting and restarting nVDA, but they still don’t read. My computer has been in sleep mode for a few days, and I have been switching back and forth  between NVDA and JAWS. Maybe that has something to do with it? I’m running Windows 10 on an Asus laptop, nothing fancy. Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Janet

Thx,

Sarah,

While I can click through on that link and see the document in the web browser, it's also clear to me based on both the way it's "visually veiled" as well as having received the message that I am not authorized to download or print the file that what I'm seeing is not accessible to a screen reader.  This is further confirmed by a "Read-Only" message when I try to click into the document, and the fact that if I use the more options button, find function, find itself cannot find the text I can clearly see is part of this document.

The issue likely lies in the security layers used for this document if you aren't a part of "the in group" that created it.

This used to work as the person used sway, but now I clicked on this link (not sure if you have to be logged in to view this or not) and I cannot read the document. I tried this in chrome, firefox and brave and I have to use OCR to read the thing.  I dismissed all the alerts and I see a 90 percent zoom. Did the creator brake something, or did nvda brake something, or did I brake something? Lol. I’ll probably XPost this to the office group in case this is a web office issue as well.

Sarah,

          See, I *told* you it would (or at least could) be stunning and easy (or at least easier than your dread was predicting - and who among us hasn't been there!).

           Microsoft has scads of documentation dedicated to using its various office suite programs with a screen reader.  The results of this search on DuckDuckGo turn up several MS-issued resources right at the very top of the list, at least it does for me.

I am trying to do 301 redirects to support HTTPS on my WordPress site. A guide I came across suggests using the Better Search Replace plugin to edit the URLs in the database tables from HTTP to HTTPS. However, the plugin has an unconventional list box with the tables in it and it says to control click on Windows to select multiple tables.

Is there any way to do this with NVDA, or is this just an inaccessible list box element and I need to find some other obscure way no doubt.

Thanks.

Hi, should everyone do this? I just checked my cmd properties and the legacy mode was unchecked...
"Press your windows key and type CMD, you should hear Command Prompt.

Hit apply then OK, and you should be golden."

Hi chris

What did you do to open the command prompt please?

Thanks in advance

Anthony

Hi Dave

I just opened command prompt, typed “dir c:\” and pressed enter.  I then used the 7 key on the Numpad to work backwards through the displayed info.  The 7,8,9 keys read previous , current, next line, 4,5,6 do the same by word and 1,2,3 by character.  This worked irrespective of the “Dynamic content” setting.

Cheers

Chris

dynamic content changes checked.

Thanks.
