Re: Quick Notetaker
Gene
I haven’t used the add-on. I looked at the page where the download
link is offered and there is a long explanation of how to use it. I don’t
know if it will answer your questions but have you read it? It is just a
little below the download link.

downloaded and installed an NVDA add-on called QuickNotetaker. Now it's in there and I don't know how to access it. How or where can I read the instructions? Thank you. Howard

Check under the tools then manage add ons section in nvda. That is where all your add ons are. In the list will be the add on you installed find it then tab 2 times I think it is to where it tells you the keys you can use with it etc. It works well. Gene nz

Hi,
Yes, absolutely! I have access to Jaws 2021, 2022, latest version of NVDA, and narrator. They all perform extremely well under windows 11.

Hi everyone,
Today, we're sharing Jacques' story from South Africa. It highlights the security of NVDA, and the importance of Open Source software in business. Plus, what is the difference between a digital signature & a digital certificate? Find out here: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/open-source-opens-the-way/ #OpenSource

Re: acapela for nvda not compatible
Are you sure that you are downloading the latest driver? There are two links to download the driver, one is for older version of NVDA, and the other one is for the latest version of NVDA. The latest is v1.7.

NVDA and Microsoft teams?
Scott Gillen <scott@...>
Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask but Are there any issues getting NVDA to work with teams?
My preferred method of using NVDA is to float the cursor over the text that I want to read. This works fine on websites and most other programs I use but doesn’t seem to be working in teams. Any ideas and if there is a better place for me to ask this question I’m happy to hear it.
Thanks Scott

acapela for nvda not compatible
Josh Kennedy
Hi I downloaded acapela for nvda and when I tried to download and install voices, it said the voice addons were not compatible with nvda 2021.2. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how do I fix this? If this is not fixable then I guess I cannot buy acapela for use with nvda.

Re: nvda lagging
Quentin Christensen
For anyone having these issues, Brian has some good sheets on bug reporting, but in general, what really helps track things like this down is: - Details about your system, especially the version / build of Windows, Office (or other involved program) and NVDA. Please don't say "the latest version". There are many reasons why the "latest version" you have (particularly of Windows or Office) might be different to the "latest version" I can get. - Steps to reproduce. If you can tell me, 1. Press this, 2. Do that, 3. Press this other keystroke, and I can replicate it, we should be able to get everything else we need (but details of program versions are still useful as that way we can ascertain if something ONLY affects one version of a program or multiple). - If you can, your NVDA log, and ideally if you can set it to debug level, restart NVDA with add-ons disabled, reproduce the issue, THEN get the log and send it to us. Happy to elaborate on any of those steps as needed. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Please add Vietnamese Southern Braille 'vi-saigon-g1.ctb' to NVDA
Quentin Christensen
Glad you found it - yes it is listed as "Southern Vietnamese" so appears separately in the list to the other Vietnamese tables. And yes, as Zvonimir noted - I am a Quentin C, but not that one (but don't worry, you are definitely not the first to ask!) Quentin.

Win 11 and NVDA
Don H
I had to order a new laptop today as a result of failure of my current laptop. The new laptop comes with Win 11 preinstalled. Can I expect the same level of great performance with NVDA 2021-2 on this new laptop?

Re: nvda lagging

Oh, it could be your system. How old is it? Mine is over 2 years old. I’m noticing it slowing down. I think word 2007 is old. I never thought about the computer itself.

Wally,
I was interested you seemed to be having similar problems to mine but they are clearly not identical. I still think, for me at least, they are most likely to be connected with my system.
I forgot to say in the first message that I use Word 2007 with Windows 10, all updates included. I rarely have problems with NVDA disappearing while I type and Windows Explorer behaves as it should for me.

Hi Robert
You are quite right, it is confusing.
The worse of it, with me, it even lags in Windows explorer.
It needs to be attended to as urgently as possible.

I’ve always had this problem with Windows Mail in Windows 10 with any long emails at all, and sometimes with short ones from certain senders, likely with lots of graphics like the ones I get from our farmer’s market, and adds I get from Walmart, it will read a couple lines, stop for a literally several seconds to a minute or even 2, read a couple more lines, rince, repeat until I got tired of it and copied and pasted into notepad to read it there. With emails from a question and answer site called Quora, I used to have to wait several minutes and play tricks trying to click in the message with the mouse cursor to get NVDA to unfreeze and let me navigate in the email, it would freeze on those as soon as I opened them, I would restart NVDA several times, hurry up and alt+tab to the window, and click something before it froze, keep doing that until I could navigate normally, but lately Quora must have changed something in the document because the emails come up right away with no problem now and I can open the page I want with my Quora digest.

Why not use Wordpad? It should be able to read the word document you are having read and you probably won’t have the stopping problem. If you do, converting the document to a text file and having it read in Notepad should solve the problem. It sounds as though there may be some sort of buffer overflow problem, based on the behavior being described but that’s just a guess and may not be correct.

I haven’t used them except the one in Openbook, but there are utilities
that will convert documents to audio files. The Openbook one pauses too
long after periods and since my screenreader isn’t being used, the speech
dictionary isn’t available to correct mispronunciations. So even though I
could use the utility in Openbook, I don’t.

I understand now, I’m sorry I didn’t before. What you say about recording is quite interesting, I never find myself doing it, though it might be a good practice. Best regards. Francisco.

I don’t think they will be announced when you come to them. There is also no browse mode in Wordpad. My suggestion was specifically for reading uninterruptedly. It sounds as though the person wants to be able to record the screen-reader reading text, something I do off and on.
Gene -----Original Message-----
Hello there,
Yes, what you suggest is a good idea, though if there are headings, links, and such, would WordPad be able to detect them?
I’m not saying that the document in question contains such things, I’m just asking, because my books do, and I’m curious to see if WordPad could read them fine, though I have no problem whatsoever with word 365. Best regards. Francisco.

If you hold control and move up and down the list in Windows Explorer, now called File Explorer, you won’t have the lag problem. Once you get to the file or folder you want, stop, then up and down arrow back to it so it and only it will be selected.
