Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
Suhas D
The punctuation is already set to "some". I should have added "punctuation Level" instead of "Symbol Level" in the subject. It got confusing I guess. I apologize for the mistake.

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
I think I've even seen "link dot" as well if the period is outside the link and that's at some for me. I need to play, but I'm using elocrash here. I have not tried with one core or espeak as of yet to see if I can reproduce the issue. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .

Check out my new video. In this video I show you how to download, install and use a program (watch the video to find out) to extract images from a PDF. You can then convert the images to text with your OCR of choice. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dU9MlAKWjM

Chris
If you are using the say all command or reading line by line , then maybe your punctuation level needs lowering, try setting it to some and see what happens then

I got the problem solved, but I'm glad to have the other links anyway.
I had to click on the Emoticons link and have that as the main page, then I was able to download the stable version. Again, thanks for the other links. Thanks, Nance -- Nancy Shackelford --Walk On Faith And Trust In Love - Michael Reid--

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
It might be the synth. I don’t have that issue, and I’m using code factory’s elocrash. What are you using, espeak, one core, etc?

Hi everyone,
I've been wondering why NVDA says "dot" after reading a link on a web page or any where else, even when the say symbol is set to "some". Are there any uses for this happening? Because I don't see any uses for this. Is there a way to modify this behavior? I tried using speech dictionary to modify it, but without any success.

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
Gene
I’m not sure why this is happening. This may solvve the
problem.
You can try setting the level for the actual symbol to high. That
means it will only be spoken in high. I’m not talking about setting the
general level. There is more than one case for determining when a period
is spoken. Open Preferences..
In that menu,find and open punctuation/symbol pronunciation. Up arrow
to it, its faster.
type the period symbol. Tab twice and set the level to all if it
isn’t already. You will hear the level setting without tabbing.
In the list, type the period symbol again. There is a dot dot dot
symbol. Don’t change that unless you want the three dot symbol pronounced
at a different level.
Type the period symbol again.
If this period setting is not for all, set it to all as I described
above.
When you are finished, tab to and activate the ok button.

Re: Downloading the emoticons for NVDA
Gene
I don’t know why you are having a problem. Have you tried more
than one browser? The link works here. Try right arrowing so you
aren’t on the first letter of the link in your current browser and press
enter. See if that solves the problem. If not, try another
browser.
I haven’t looked in any detail at the description of this add-on but
NVDA already has the ability to announce emoticons. You can also place any
emoticon in the NVDA list in a document in the following manner:
New main steps start on new lines.
Open the NVDA menu with NVDA key n.
Press enter on ppreferences.
Up arrow to punctuation/symbol pronunciation. Press
enter.
You are in a dialog.
There are an enornous amount of emoticons and some other
symbols.
Shift tab to filter buy and type something. If you want to see
all emoticons with smile, type smile. Type any word or group of words, for
example, smiling face.
Tab once. You are now in a list of emoticons containing what
you type.
Find the one you want.
Press NVDA key f9 once.
Press NVDA key f10 twice quickly.
The emoticon is now on the clipboard.
Paste it into the document you are writing.
The add-on may do other things you want but my description may allow
you to do what you want without it.

Re: Looking for a certified NVDA trainer in Canada
Quentin Christensen
Have you talked to the company (or developers) about the accessibility of the package? As others have asked, do you know if it uses Jaws scripts to enable it to work with Jaws? If regular navigation isn't getting you around the software, are you familiar with the review cursor and object navigation? They are NVDA concepts for moving around text and objects which is otherwise inaccessible with normal navigation. You can find them in the User Guide: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html#NavigatingWithNVDA but if you are not already familiar with them, I'd strongly recommend the Basic Training for NVDA which goes into much more depth on them and has exercises and activities to practice your skills: https://www.nvaccess.org/product/basic-training-for-nvda-ebook/ Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Here we go again!
I just want to add to Quentin's observations that they do not apply exclusively to NVDA. The general purposes of alpha, beta, release candidate, and stable releases of software are the same no matter what the software or who makes it. Some makers do not use (for the public, anyway) alpha or release candidate steps. The "public testing" version is the beta, and there can be several betas as different kinks get worked out.
The idea that either alpha or beta software are "sneak peeks for the curious" with no obligation on the part of those who elect to use them to report issues needs to die a very quick death. Alphas are generally for the development community, almost exclusively, with betas being for the end user community that's willing to put up with instability and bugs, and report those, as part of getting an advance look at what's happening next. -- 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: Here we go again!
Quentin Christensen
We encourage most users to use release candidate builds - unless people point out issues, then basically the release candidate will be identical to the final stable build - it is easier, for various reasons, for us to try to fix something in a release candidate build, than two weeks later in the final stable build. Beta versions we are happy for people to test if they are confident they can get back to their stable version. Alpha versions are really not designed for most users to use. As noted in the thread here, things can break (deliberately or inadvertently) and we don't guarantee stability in alpha builds - though of course we DO want to know about any issues you encounter with those builds :) Kind regards Quentin.

From: nvda@nvda.groups.io [mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io] On Behalf Of Jujube
Hi Janet, I'm by no means a certified NVDA trainer or anything of that sort, but I think it'd be useful to know just a bit more information. Maybe this is something NV Access (aka Quentin) may need to assist with? I don't know.
First of all, just out of curiosity you're just using a demo version of JAWS to try it out, right? Second, are any JAWS scripts being used to interact with the program? Third, so am I correct in saying that the program works well with JAWS but NVDA cannot read or find the dialogues, buttons, controls, etc? I believe many programs these days have native keyboard commands or at least the controls are usually visible no matter what screen reader is in use. Also, it may be worth speaking to the developers of the program so it can be easily used with any screen reader.
