Thank you for this tip. Would this work in adobe as well or only on microsoft edge? Is edge better for viewing pdfs? Should I set edge as my default reader?

Re: Weird Abbreviation Processing Mid-word?
Gene,
Then that pretty conclusively proves it's a synth bug, and the folks that make that synth should fix it. I can't think of a single instance, ever, where a month abbreviation does not get separated from the following text by white space (even when a period is used). Great detective work. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F. Kennedy

Re: Weird Abbreviation Processing Mid-word?
Gene
I’ve been experimenting and the bug occurs in The following circumstance,
which makes it clear what the problem is. If I write a number, I used 1
then space, then write capital Mar and that is all I write, March first is
spoken when I read that text on the line. What is happening in the example
given in the original message is that a number, followed by mar, whether more is
written or not, results in this misreading. The abbbreviation or short
form is applied whether it occurs in a full word or by itself. The letter
m must be capitalized for it to be treated as an abbreviation for March and the
date.
Here is another example.
1 Mayflower

Clement,
I also get the same result using Eloquence from Kurzweil. This has been true for me for the past year or so with NVDA. I haven't a way to cure the problem. Hopefully someone here will have some ideas. Thanks for posting.

Re: Weird Abbreviation Processing Mid-word?
To be honest while not exactly that issue, I can get weird issues from time to time on here, or other systems I run. Some persist after a restart, some will persist till I reinstall either the program or windows. And in a lot of cases they never make it online. Or they can be completely unrelated. I once had an issue on a system I was working on which looked like mangled drivers, a virus and a windows issue. The sound drivers were fixed, a windows issue could be fixed if it was that bad with a reload. But in the end it boiled down to a defective wifi access card. Most of the issues went away with its replacement. So yeah check everything including the buttons on the case I guess.

Re: New and apparent lag with NVDA in File Explorer, and an Introducion
Gene
I didn’t mention using space, not control space, to select the item you are
on. I should have mentioned it. I didn’t because I think it is a
more natural movement to keep your hand on the arrow keys and just up and down
arrow than to move to the space bar and press it. But people may do
whatever they wish.
However, space should be used in this case, not control space.
Control space is how you would select an item if you want to select more than
one item and not select items that are all next to each other. Space
by itself will select the item you are on and will unselect any other item
or items you might have selected earlier. And space only selects an
item. If it is already selected for some reason, you won’t accidentaly
unselect it. Control space selects an unselected item and unselects a
selected item.

Re: NVDA Is Malfunctioning On My Windows10 Computer

As you describe the problem, we don’t yet know if NVDA has anything to do
with it. Have you tried using browsers or other programs that present
problems with another screen-reader?

Computer Hi
good people: NVDA does not work properly on my computer. This happens most often, when I am on the internet. It is some times very difficult for me to launch a browser. I use mozilla firefox, but many times it is very difficult for me to launch it. I try running the com registration tool, but it doesn't change anything. Added to that, when I launch microsoft word, it takes ages to launch and start reading anything. And even the reading is so slow. Is there a way of getting around this problem? I use an old version of the program, which is the 2020 release. The latest version is not compatible with an AdOn I use with my preferred speech synthesizer. Hope to get some help. I also want to find out the use of a portable copy of NVDA. I've never tried it out. Can it help me in this situation I've just spelt out. Kind regards. Ibrahim.

I’d be interested if others have this problem. It is so odd that it
may be caused by something that isn’t a general problem.

You can have Adobe open documents you follow links to online, but I was
explaining why I use Edge instead of Adobe.
I don’t know how many people know this, but you can open files on your
machine or external hard drives or anywhere else you would open them in your
browser. Use control o for the open file dialog and open the file just as
you would in a word processor.
Of course, you can compare opening files or web pages using Edge and Adobe
and see if you like one more.

Hi, Regarding Facebook, are you talking about not being able to use the emoji panel when composing new messages/posts? Note that for this thread, I will assume Windows 10 unless this is on a Windows 11 system. Cheers, Joseph (the author of Windows App Essentials add-on)

NVDA and emoji keyboard
#addonrelease
JinYoun
Hi, I was just curious if others have the same issue as me with the emoji keyboard. After installing the windows app essential add-on, I've been able to use the emoji keyboard by pressing windows + . on this forum and in emails, but cannot get it to work in facebook or on Sero. When I tab down and use the arrow keys to browse, it closes the emoji keyboard.😕
If someone could teach me the correct way to use the emoji keyboard using NVDA that would be so appreciated.🙏 Thank you
