Not likely.
What folks who use screen readers, as they currently exist,
need to understand is that they are application software.
Mind you, a very specialized application, but still an
application. The operating system (whether Windows or any
other one) must be up and running at least to a certain point
before any screen reader can come online.
UEFI/BIOS occur in the boot sequence well prior to Windows (or
other OSes such as Linux) ever being kicked off for loading.
While it would be conceivably possible to have a dedicated
screen reader for that environment, and if memory serves a
prototype was once made, long ago, it certainly would not be
Narrator, NVDA, JAWS or any other screen reader as end users
know them. And it would also very likely have commands
strictly limited to the environment at hand, which means it
would be very different in that way, too.
And, as you mention, even if you were to have a screen reader
of some sort available to navigate UEFI/BIOS, you still have
to be very, very certain that what you're doing is precisely
what you intend to do and that what you intend is actually
what needs to be done to achieve the result hoped for. If
you can have this certainty, then go for it, otherwise, get
assistance. And this is completely separate from your visual
status. Most of my sighted clients have no idea that
UEFI/BIOS even exists nor how to interact with it. It's just
not something most end users ever need to touch.
As far as turning off "media keys" or whatever a maker might
call the actions associated with the function keys, lobbying
them to create utilities such as the one Lenovo already has
that allow these to be turned on or off from within Windows,
or asking for some keyboard shortcut, likely a 4-key press to
avoid accidents, to do this are both better ideas than a
screen reader for UEFI/BIOS likely would be. They're safer,
too.

Re: Looking for a certified NVDA trainer in Canada
Hello Quentin and all, Yes, I have contacted the software developer about its inaccessibility. The sense I get is that since it is, at least to them, compatible with JAWS, that is sufficient. In fact, the software is only partially accessible with JAWS. Fortunately, I was able to obtain an annual license for JAWS. The amount of income I will get from this job will never be enough to live on. As for whether or not JAWS is using scripts, I have no idea. I am only learning as much of it as I need to in order to do the work. It seems to be a huge and extremely complicated piece of software, 95% of which I will never use. If it weren’t for the license there is no way I could ever afford it. Quinten, thank you for those links. I am not familiar with object navigation, etc. However, I would still like to find someone to take a look at this program to see whether or not it could be used with NVDA before diving into that information. Thanks for all of your input. Any more comments or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Janet

Re: Changing to Thunderbird and threaded view
Blake Roberts <BEarlRoberts@...>
Daniel, You can switch Thunderbird to threaded conversations by going into the TB View Menu (alt+v), Sort By submenu and turn the option on by checking "Threaded" checkbox. I tried threaded view briefly and chose to use "Unthreaded" instead. I suggest that you join the Thunderbird group on groups.io to get feedback from TB users about how easy Threaded mode is. You can also ask any additional TB questions there. https://groups.io/g/thunderbirdRelevant email addresses for the Thunderbird group, including subscribing, are at the link above.

Then we are back to there is something wrong that is

So, just as there is the consistent advice to "try

the same applies to PDF readers: try another
alternative. Under Windows 10 the Edge browser itself
does a bang-up job of opening PDFs, so I'd try opening
that same document in Edge rather than Adobe Reader DC
to see if the result is different. If it is, then
uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader DC. If it's not,
then start doing the repair steps for Windows.

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
You have allowed your question to be answered with the additional
information. With my punctuation level set to some, I hear dot if there is
something wrong such as if I accidentally have typed two dots instead of
one. I am writing this as constructive criticism and not specifically to
criticize you, since I see this happen many times. When describing a
problem, it is important to discuss the conditions and not leave things
out. What you currently stated is an important condition.
To hear no periods in the case you describe, dset punctuation level, set
with Numpad key, p to none. I never hear dot spoken no matter if the
period is in a link or not with this setting.

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
Symbol level is used in NVDA+p and Punctuation/symbol level in the voice settings, so both are valid. People simply don't test what they write, even if the testing takes a few seconds, so the advice here can be hit or miss.
The reason this happens is because NVDA splits the content before and after the link. Example from the log:
Speaking ['This is a ', 'visited', 'link', 'test', '.']
This log fragment is almost useless, because it shows the processing at too high a level for what we need. But I know that if you write a . on its own NVDA will say dot. So combining those two, we get the behaviour you're seeing.
The speech dictionary is useless here, it it doesn't have enough information about what it's speaking to try to fix it. Nor do addons.
Your only options are:
1. Report an issue on GitHub to get this looked at and maybe fixed.
2. Set your . in Punctuation/symbol pronunciation to level most and send only below symbol's level.
There are two dots, you don't want the . sentence ending.
If you do this, make a note of what the settings were before, because NVDA has no way of restoring these to factory defaults. If you do need to restore these to factory defaults for some reason, delete symbols-en.dic in your NVDA user configuration directory and restart NVDA.
To get there, type %appdata%\nvda into the run dialog or find "Explore NVDA user configuration directory" in the start menu. On my system, it's under All apps, NVDA, or the search box should find it.

Re: NVDA Responsiveness in Versions of Microsoft Office
Dear Quentin,
Thanks for your helpful response. I will review the articles you

only 3 open tickets. Is there another broader or narrower component

16/365 (or something like that) which I got from my college for viewing
narrated powerpoints and office 2007 (I know, I know, it's so old but
that's what my family has). I found the following, particularly with the
newer office version (and sorry I know this is Excel):
- Pressing NVDA+Space does not switch between browse an focus modes.
- Pressing NVDA control C and NVDA control R does not allow you to set
automatic row and column header reading.
- Commands to select an entire row (shift + down arrow) and commands to
select an entire column (control shift down arrow) don't work as
intended.
Instead, I get something like (selected 1 through 1) which isn't right.
And yes, none of these are a problem with UIA turned off.
And a few issues with excel and braille displays (and yes speech is
perfectly fine here):
- When I enter browse mode and navigate between cells, nothing on the
braille display changes but I hear all the contents read out to me in
speech. This is not at all an issue in focus mode (and yes I did report
this on NVDA issue tracker under the name mrsviolafangirl).
- When using the newer version of Excel (and yes this happens no matter
if UIA is enabled or not), when I type into a cell with a braille
display
connected, the contents of what I'm entering is not showing up on the
braille display (but it is spoken just fine in speech) and I have to
press
escape or enter to read what I typed on the braille display. This is a
non
issue in my old MS Excel 2007.
And yes, I'm well aware that the number of people who use braille
displays is quite limited so I totally understand if braille display
issues
are hard to reproduce.
Okay sorry for commenting on excel issues on this thread, but if there's
some little quirks using NVDA with MS office that can use some fixes,
it's

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.
Thanks

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
Okay, have you tried another synth? Is that the same?

Initial Speech Cutoff Using Bluetooth Headphones and NVDA
Dear all, I am currently using NVDA 2021.2 with the Bluetooth Audio add-on installed and enabled on a Windows 10 machine. With it, I am using a pair of Bluetooth headphones with my laptop, both of which are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible. Still, from time to time, especially when I am reading short stringgs like an alphabet or a monosyllable, the initial bit of the speech is cut off. Are there any ways to minimize the cutoff or fix it entirely? Please let me know. Best Regards, Bhavya Shah Stanford University | Class of 2024 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhavyashah125/

Re: NVDA says "link dot" even when Symbol Level is Set to "some"
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: Downloading the emoticons for NVDA
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
