The box steve is talking about was apparently expand abbreviations and

there's no such box. I open settings from within the nvda menu itself, and the process punctuation is definitely there. But it's had no impact on the weird abbreviation problem.

How are you looking at the settings? If you open eloquence on the
desktop, you will be in a dialog. If you tab I believe once, you will see
a check box that says process punctuation.

Re: NVDA and emoji keyboard
#addonrelease
Hi, At least it does work with Microsoft Edge 94 - when I open mobile Facebook website to write a comment or reply to a message, and then press Windows+Period to open emoji panel and navigate it then press Enter on an emoji, the selected emoji is entered. NVDA also announces selected emojis as I navigate through the emoji panel. Does this problem happen with Narrator, too? If not, tyhat's something we may need to look into - please ping me next Monday if you still need my assistance (I'm out of action this week in NVDA world due to graduate school midterm this week). Cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph, yes, I use windows 10 and it wouldn't work when I try to use it when replying to a post on m.facebook.com on google chrome. Not sure if it would be difference in different areas of fb because I haven't posted in a long time... I think it didn't work when replying to a message too in the messages section.
Thank you

Re: Is there a U.S. Tax Deductible Entity that Supports NVDA?
Topic locked. Any further discussion should occur on the Chat Subgroup. We're not here for metadiscussion of charitable motives, and I thought I'd made that more than abundantly clear.
If someone has a definitive answer as to an organization in the USA that has tax deductible status that supports NVDA, please send that to the Owner Address and it will be conveyed. Otherwise, this discussion is done. -- 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

It's my understanding that contributions to NVAccess is deductable under US tax code.

Hi, No offense, here is my question. Why do people donate for a tax
deduction? Isn't the point of a donation cherity, and not
expecting to get that money back?

I didn't check the second entry, which eliminates mishandling of legitimate dates, but I checked the first entry and it works with numbers I tested. I tested 1 2 and 3 followed by Mayflower, and I tested 10 and 11 followed by Mayflower.

Re: Weird Abbreviation Processing Mid-word?

Essentially, the synth has a rule to expand abbreviated dates
like 2 Sept to their more natural form. The problem is that the
synth fails to take into account that there may be extra text
after the abbreviated month, resulting in the weird expansions
described here. The double spacing between the number and the word
seems to get around the issue.

I'm not criticizing the regex formation, but the substitute and the original appear, to me, to be the same thing.

No, that setting would not fix the issue. Some abbreviations can't be turned off even with that setting, and this is one of them.

Re: Is there a U.S. Tax Deductible Entity that Supports NVDA?
By the way, if anyone has an actual direct answer to the question asked, whether a name of an organization or a "there isn't one," then please give it. That answer is pertinent to NVDA.
Our metaconversation about charitable giving is not (and that includes my contribution to said conversation) and it needs to stop. Now. At least on the main NVDA Group. -- 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: Is there a U.S. Tax Deductible Entity that Supports NVDA?
Sorry, but I'm with Chris and Gene here.
If you want to ensure your donated funds are going to a specific organization, that's who you send them to, whether tax deductible or not. The United Way and similar are wonderful umbrella organizations that, literally, try to "spread the wealth." But you do not make directed donations via them. And I have no issue with taking a tax deduction on donations where available. I used to do that in the days when I itemized. But that's never, ever the primary reason I gave money to anyone. And I can say, with assurance, that the amount of tax difference for a small donation is trivial unless that small donation happens to push your deductible donation total up such that the whole gets above "a tipping point" in the itemizing game. Everyone on these groups can do precisely as they see fit. But when you solicit opinions in public you should not ever expect that they'll all be ones you like, nor that you are obligated to take any advice offered. -- 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: Is there a U.S. Tax Deductible Entity that Supports NVDA?
Hey, I’m not saying that it isn’t great that we can often get tax refunds for charitable donations. That’s great! But I would hate to hear that someone didn’t donate at all because they couldn’t get a refund, or donated to some other organization, not knowing whether that money would end up where it is intended, or perhaps pay their electricity bill or something.
I apologize for opening my big mouth on this topic.

Wow, It is easy to spend someone else’s money; Many people donate for strictly tax purposes Are we in the business of measuring a man’s motives behind his donations?
Also, I can tell you this, If I do not donate any money to anyone, Then I am sure that an org will not purchase/donate money to nvda for one of its clients;

Right, and what chance do we have that our money will in fact go to NV Access? Nobody is purchasing NVDA itself.
Maybe we should donate in the spirit of helping a worthy cause, not expecting to get the money back? Just a thought.

You can’t assume that any general charity will give money to NVDA nor what
percent of your donation will be given.
As to giving just to give, while that is considered a higher form of
charity, it is long established practice that the tax code encourages giving by
allowing those who itemize to deduct charitable giving.
