nvda and acapela for nvda voices
Josh Kennedy
Hi I was thinking of buying the acapela nvda voices either this month or next month. Are they as good and responsive as codeFactory vocalizer voices? Will they work with nvda 2021.2 and later? Also can I buy in united states dollars, or do I have convert the price from euros to united states dollars first before I buy them? Have any of you had any issues with activation? Last, are there sapi5 versions of latest acapela voices to buy also, if I want to later on rather than the voices being tied to NVDA?

My Tutorials on Google Drive
#adminnotice
I normally wouldn't send this sort of message out, period, but since I know I have posted messages on so many occasions with direct download links to tutorials or other material I have stored on Google Drive, this is important for the membership to know.
Google has recently done the first major security change related to access to Google Drive since I've been using it. This has broken a lot of links to specific material, but it does not affect everything. It's really impossible for me to know which things remain downloadable and which choke, and it's certainly going to be impossible to go back and retroactively correct links that are dead. If anyone attempts to download something I've given a link to in the past and it fails, I would appreciate receiving a private message, or an additional post on this topic, identifying the actual link that is not working and where you got it from. The second half is really critical, as I cannot correct it for archive searchers if I don't know which link it was in which message. I will, to the best of my ability, correct that link at the source where it is currently broken once I know where, as well as supplying the corrected link. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Re: Browse Mode single letter quick navigation shortcuts
At the end of it all, it's worth taking The Most Basic Troubleshooting Steps for Suspected NVDA Issues
and filing an issue if the problem remains. And from what has passed earlier in this topic it appears that most, if not all, of those steps have been taken as well as a few more. If my suggestion about clearing browser cache has not been taken, please do take it, as it's simple and it eliminates another possible factor. In a case like this, if you've already been thorough about all the basic troubleshooting steps, plus more, I'd also suggest that you: 1. restart NVDA with debug level logging enabled 2. do whatever it is you need to do to reproduce the problem 3. once you've encountered that problem hit NVDA + F1 to open log viewer, select everything, copy the entire log to a new file in Notepad, and save it. 4. Include that log file as part of your issue report. If memory serves it can be attached. If not, complete the issue report, and then immediately comment on your own issue, pasting the log file in as the comment.

Re: Browse Mode single letter quick navigation shortcuts

I wouldn't assume the problem will correct itself. I don't use
Electron Apps and I don't know if technically, the problem could
be the same. A symptom doesn't necessarily come from the same
cause.
Sending a log to someone with the technnical knowledge to understand it may tell us what the problem is. I don't recall that suggestion being made yet.

Hi Michael,
Could I ask also have you tried the following to see if there is a difference.
Download a fresh copy of nvda and when you click on it there are 3 options one is to make a portable copy of nvda. Pick this option but also make sure you create a directory called nvda so the files go into it. Then if you know how make a shortcut to the desktop and asign a hot key for it to start it.
Or if you do it off a usb stick you will need to click on the nvda.exe file to start it. When it is running then try going back into the browser and see if the problem is fixed.
If this is the case then the nvda.ini file might of got corrupted on the installer version.
But if you still have the same problem with the fresh copy then it may not be nvda.
If it works perfect with a portable copy then I would completely uninstall nvda from the control panel.
Then press the windows key + R to bring up the run dialogue then type %appdata% then press the enter key. You will be given a list of folders with settings in them delete the nvda one then close that screen.
From the fresh copy of nvda then reinstall nvda to the computer.
The other option is in cases resetting snvda to factory defaults will do the trick. But make sure when you do this and start up nvda you get the message where you can pick your layout having nvda start at startup etc. You will know it has been done correctly if you see that message.
If none of the above work it might be a good idea to disable all add ons and see if that fixes the problem.
To do that when you close nvda with nvda key + Q when you tab there is a combo box arrow down to disable all add ons then tab to ok then press the enter key. If that does the trick then it might be a matter of seeing which add on is doing it then remove it.

OK, my point exactly, though I saved the configuration with NVDA+CONTROL+c, then just restarting NVDA, the device I told NVDA to use is again NOT selected but Microsoft sound mapper which I DO NOT WANT. The device is running because my computer doesn't take power from the device since it is plugged into a powered hub, but NVDA insists on using sound mapper. So, as I'd mentioned if I am recording off the net through Edge and redirecting it to virtual cable line one which with edge is using Microsoft sound mapper, restart NVDA for any reason, it reverts to sound mapper and any speech then gets recorded, destroying any recording I've done with what my synthesizer is saying. No thanks, :) and I then need to start the recording all over, etc. btw I hadn't seen other replies to this message, just Quentin's, thank you.
and I discovered, that "unmute audio" add-on has a configuration which resets to original device" so that was the culpritt.

Re: adobe reader 64 bit does not work with NVDA

Think you guys got off the point. He didn't say the 64 bit din't work with windows 10 it was NVDA it didn't work with. So far with win 11 you can still run 32 bit. However, Microsoft
did state that after 11 32 bit useage would be dropping off just
like internet explorer. Then even NVDA will need a complete
rewrite to 64 bit seeing how its only 32 bit now.

Welcome to the NVDA Community Add-ons website - Quick Notetaker
#nvdaaddonsfeed
nvda@nvda.groups.io Integration <nvda@...>
Quick Notetaker
The Quick Notetaker add-on is a wonderful tool which allows writing notes quickly and easily anytime and from any app the user is using. Whether the user is watching a video for example, or participating in a meeting on Zoom, teams or Google meet, they can easily and smoothly open the notetaker and take a note. In order to create a quick note, NVDA + Alt + n key combination can be used, a floating window appears at the top left corner of the screen, so the note can be typed there. Every note that is being Created can optionally get the active window title, and as such, the note content can get the context in which this note was created by having the note title as the active window title the user was using. This behavior can be changed from the add-on settings, where the user can decide whether the active window title is captured when creating a new note. The Notetaker dialog
The Notes Manager interfaceOpening and closing this interface
The notes listThe notes are organized in a tabular list which includes:
The options available in Notes Manager interface
The add-on settingsThe add-on settings are a part of NVDA’s settings interface. To reach those settings, the user needs to open the NVDA menu using NVDA key + n, choose preferences > settings, and then arrow down until reaching Quick Notetaker category. Using the settings interface the user can:

Re: adobe reader 64 bit does not work with NVDA
To be honest jean with the latest version of firefox 93.0, if I download a bunch of files or if say I go to a site like amd, then maybe another one like skype and then try to download a file the dialog will come up but firefox will crash and I have to end it. That doesn't mean I can't complete my tasks, but its been like that since I loaded 93.
Its not uber badd as it will work to view things but it can get a bit annoying at times. I really need to report this to mozilla.

Re: adobe reader 64 bit does not work with NVDA

I really like using browsers for PDF documents. I can’t comment in
general; I mostly use Edge but other browsers may work well. Edge opens
documents much faster than Adobe. I don’t read PDF documents much but from
the little I do, it seems to me that Edge usually renders them as well as
Adobe.

Hi Enes
I typically always install 64 bit versions of Apps when available with no problem, but have noticed some stability issues with Adobe Reader DC 64 and NVDA. I run the 32 bit version on my work machine and it’s smooth sailing.
If you want to try the 32 bit version and see if it resolves your issue, remove your current install and download the 32 bit version from the below link. This page will let you choose, rather than Adobe detecting your system and automatically giving you the 64 bit option. Choose the version that simply states it’s “for Windows”. This is the 32 bit one you want.
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions
Interested to know if others have noticed instability with the 64 bit version.
All the best.
Ben

Re: Browse Mode single letter quick navigation shortcuts
Simple enough to try: Clear browser cache, for all time, then try again.
Some of the most bizarre issues I've ever encountered under Windows, one of which was utterly atypical keyboard shortcut behavior for JAWS, were the result of corrupted browser cache. Make sure you either clear cache, exit the browser, and start again. Or exit the browser and use a third party tool such as System Ninja or the like to clear the cache. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.
