Re: New and apparent lag with NVDA in File Explorer, and an Introducion
cisco
Hello there,
This happens to me on every drive, regardless of what kind of drive it is. I’m running on a SSD now, and I optimize and trim it every week. All my things work fine, it’s just the lag. Best regards. Francisco.

Hi Francisco, I’ve had this problem various times with various computers intermittently going back to at least Windows 7. Sometimes defragging the harddrives helps. Does it happen on all drives? Does it happen on thumb drives? Does it only happen on a USB-connected external drive? It could mean your drive is on it’s way out and needs chkdsk run on it desperately as well, and you may need to clean the dust out of your machine physically, dust causes it to overheat. Does this happen with narrator or JFW if you have it? Shawn Klein Sent from Mail for Windows

Hello everyone,
My name’s Francisco, I’m a highschool student who has been using NVDA since circa 2014. I use NVDA daily for an array of things, from homework, to entertainment and so on. Enough about me, here is the problem I am facing: Both in Windows 10 and 11, which I’m currently using, NvDA lags behind when navigating folders and files in File Explorer. Half a second to a second passes from when I press up or down arrow, to when NVDA announces the item under the cursor. As you can probably imagine, it can get quite annoying at times, particulary when I’m trying to be quick about opening a file. First letter navigation helps, but having a lot of files starting with the same letters doesn’t help as much, just to balance out things. My question is, has anyone experienced this kind of behavior when using NvDA? If so, how did you fix it? If you don’t use file explorer and use an alternative, what would you recommend? Thank you for any answer. Have a good day. Best regards. Francisco.

Re: Browse Mode single letter quick navigation shortcuts
Thanks Gene.
As a general note, pretty much any directive of the form, "Restart NVDA with {insert special case action here, e.g., add-ons disabled or debug logging enabled}," is done through the Exit NVDA dialog, using the dropdown you previously mentioned. These can be done, along with other things, using command line options when starting NVDA but most users don't ever touch the command line, so the commonly requested things that need doing under certain circumstances are included in the Exit NVDA dialog. Of course, when you use them, NVDA exits and immediately restarts, as opposed to just exiting when the default choice, Exit, is what's selected in that dropdown box. -- 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
Gene
I’m not Brian but I was curious about the question. I didn’t know
this was in the exit NVDA dialog. If you issue the command NVDA key q, you
will be in a combo box. You are on shut down when it opens. If you
down arrow, you will find a number of, at times, important options for how NVDA
restarts. The last one is restart with debug logging enabled. These
restart options only affect how NVDA restarts the one time you press enter on
the item you want to be carried out.
Gene.

Loss of focus when switching keyboard layout on Windows 11
alexey
Hello. Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 11 (22000) and there was such a problem.
I press Alt + Shift to switch the layout, a window appears: Russian (Russia) - Russian Control point window Keyboard layout window Language switching list group list Russian Russian 1 of 2 And the focus disappears from the input field. I write, but the letters are not pressed. Until I use the Alt, shift, Tab and arrow keys to return the focus, it will be lost. At the same time, there is no window on the screen, if you press NVDA+TAB, it will say "list not visible off-screen." Is it possible to get rid of this and if so, how? The latest NVDA 2021.2 is installed.

Re: nvda and acapela for nvda voices
David Goldfield
Josh, I haven’t done a complete comparison between the Acapela voices and the Code Factory voices but I would judge their responsiveness as similar. The Acapela voices might be a tad bit less responsive and I’d put a lot of emphasis on tad. I would advise that you install them and judge for yourself since the product does allow for a seven-day trial. It’s been around four years since I purchased them but I believe I did so in U.S. dollars. Like any product which requires the license to be activated make sure that you have an Internet connection when you activate it. Like all such products save your license key into a file that you can easily access later if you need to do so. You may need to copy and paste the key into an edit field within the program to activate it. Apologies if I sound a bit vague on this but, as I said, it’s been several years since I went through the purchasing and activation.

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?

Re: Why does NVDA now announce, "Properties Page Folder," when starting Thunderbird?
Gene
You can try using the speech dictionary. But this is just two or
three words and probably quickly, in a matter of perhaps two or three days, you
will likely get used to it and it won’t bother you any more, nor will it slow
you down. Your screen-reader tells you all sorts of things about structure
such as dialog, list, tree view, etc. You are used to them and they don’t
bother you or slow you down. You do what you intend to do whether speech
is occurring or not. That would be the same in this case when you get used
to it.
but if you want to stop the s;peech, I’ll suggest how you might do
so.

Why does NVDA now announce, "Properties Page Folder," when starting Thunderbird?
Roger Stewart
I've noticed that when I updated Thunderbird to the latest version, that nvda always says "properties file folder" every time I start it up and go to the inbox. It never did this before the update to Thunderbird. It works fine, but just wondering if there's a way to turn off this useless bit of chatter.
Thanks. Roger

He didn't say the 64 bit din't work with windows 10 it was NVDA it didn't work with.- Well, it seemed to me that what had originally been noted, which is exactly as you state, had already been directly addressed, and that was with the suggested workaround to install Adobe Reader DC 32-bit. I read this as a request for a method to get back up and running, and at the moment that's the easiest, and to my knowledge only, way. All discussion after that is further meta analysis of the whole situation. I think there are going to be interaction issues between 32-bit and 64-bit software for years to come. They won't be many, they won't be frequent, but they will exist. It's going to be a "whack a mole" process until 32-bit software goes the way that 16-bit software went many many moons ago. Eventually, everything's going to be 64-bit across the board. But we're not there yet, or even close, really, when it comes down to brass tacks. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.
