Re: NVDA and OCR software
Howard Traxler
This looks like an NVDA addon. Is it also a command line OCR app? I don't find that.

Hello,

I thought that as well, but at least here it's been going on for a few days. I tried a couple of days ago, neither worked in the manner I described above, so I thought ok maybe the servers are down so I waited and of course forgot about it. Tonight I remembered, tried again, and got the same results. Thanks. Dave.

Re: Navigation similar to the “vertical navigation” voiceover feature?
Luke Robinett
Hi Robert,

Thank you for the idea. I've tried that but it doesn't work, likely because the table isn't an actual HTML table and thus NVDA can't traverse it as such. Thanks again. Luke

Hi folks, imagine I’ve got a webpage open and there is information on it that is visually laid out like a table but is not traversable as a table using NVDA. I am on a column heading and I want to move focus directly below it to the first cellof that column. In iOS, there’s a rotor option called “vertical navigation” that allows me to do this easily. Is there any such functionality in NVDA? Unfortunately, the only way I’v found to get to that cell is to press control + down arrow repeatedly,traveling through all The other column headings first, making it sometimes impossible to know when I’ve actually arrived at the first item under that original column heading. I hope the description of the problem makes sense. Thank you for any tips or strategies. Luke

Re: NVDA error checking for update
How long has this been going on? It is not at all unusual for the update servers to have occasional, transient "burps" and the update to go just fine anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours later. (By the way, this observation applies to many things other than NVDA, as any server can go offline for a period of time).

NVDA error checking for update
David Mehler
Hello,
I'm running NVDA 2021.2 and am trying to update both it and my installed list of addons. In both cases I'm getting a message error checking for update. This is on a windows 10 20h1 machine. Anyone have a fix? Thanks. Dave.

Re: Thunderbird
Blake Roberts <BEarlRoberts@...>
My previous message in this thread provides a workaround for the problem presented (link to download Mozilla Apps Enhancements NVDA add-on). With the Mozilla add-on installed in NVDA, go to your Thunderbird message folder of choice. Press NVDAKey+H and rearrange message field columns there.
The issue of 0 announcements is caused by Thunderbird, not NVDA. I suggest that anyone in the NVDA group with Thunderbird-specific questions consider joining the Thunderbird group: https://groups.io/g/thunderbird The primary/intended audience is screen reader users. Thunderbird group email addresses are on that group's home page under "Group Email Addresses" heading including this one: Subscribe:

Re: Thunderbird
Blake Roberts <BEarlRoberts@...>
This TB issue appears to affect quite a few people. Two individuals have asked similar question in the Thunderbird group on groups.io during my membership there. The solution is installing Mozilla Apps Enhancements NVDA add-on:
https://nvda-addons.org/addon.php?id=5 Then use it to rearrange Thunderbird column headers. By columns I mean things such as to, from, subject, junkmail status... The 0 and 100 numbers beside messages are due to Thunderbird junkmail filtering. As I wrote in a recent Thunderbird group thread, my preference is to move the junk column from default location to next to last column. That way I hear "0" before the date/time stamp. Blake

I developed BrowserNav add-on for this. NVDA+Alt+DownArrow does this. It searches for elements that have exactly the same x coordinate.

Re: trouble with speech when selecting text
Quentin Christensen
The usual questions: Have you restarted the PC recently (and especially since updating NVDA or anything else)? Are you using any add-ons? If so, does restarting NVDA with them disabled make a difference? What programs are you experiencing this in? If word etc, have you changed the advanced setting for using UIA? I tried just now with NVDA 2021.2 and it behaves as expected in office 365 word and notepad (reading the newly selected text). Quentin

Re: NVDA and OCR software
Dave Grossoehme
This is great if you need to scan a document into a PDF.
However, is there any software or hardware/software that will take
a PDF with a document that has beeen scanned into the PDF, and
make that PDF of the scanned document be able to print. I can use
the windows OCR with NVDA to read the document, but can not print
it. Can you help me here? Dave

Re: nvda and acapela voices
Vlad Dragomir
Josh, Do you happen to have The Code Factory add-on installed as well? If you do, try disabling it and restarting NVDA before trying again with Acapela. At least for me it solved the problem.
Best,
Vlad.

nvda and acapela voices
Josh Kennedy <joshknnd1982@...>
Hi Well I tried several acapela voices, all of them froze NVDA. The voices are not working for me on nvda 2021.2. So unfortunately I can’t risk buying them even though I really want to buy the acapela voices! Now if there were sapi5 versions of the engine and voices like codeFactory acapela voices then I would buy them. Or if the voices at least talked even if they said please register this product so I know they work—but they don’t. NVDA freezes and I get no speech. Contacting acapela has gotten me no response at all. I guess I’ll just have to stay with codeFactory eloquence and codeFactory vocalizer. Maybe someday I can buy the acapela voices when they are sapi5 and when they work.

trouble with speech when selecting text
JinYoun
Hi, I'm not sure when this behavior started, but when I select text by pressing shift plus the arrow keys, NVDA will read out all of the slected content instead of each character I'm selecting, which is very confusing for me. Is there a way to have NVDA just read out the character I've just selected instead of everything that has been selected?
Thank you
