Re: NVDA and Thunderbird Gene #89349 If the information isn’t coming from forced reading of the status bar, I don’t know where it is coming from. If I understand what you are describing, you have a message rule and the speech is coming when the rule is applied when new mail comes in. But if that is the case, you should hear it whether a message is opened or not.

Re: NVDA and Thunderbird Danny Park #89346 Just found an interesting thing. When you are reading a message it has a different set of settings. When I was in a list of messages and did the alt-v the status bar was turned off, however, when in the message itself and I did the alt-v the status bar was turned on and changing that one helped.

Your father should find using Windows Live Mail, aside perhaps from using this or that NVDA command such as read to end, almost identical whether JAWS or NVDA is used. For browsing the Internet, NVDA uses almost identical navigation commands, move by heading h, skip blocks of links, n move by button. b move by radio button, r to name a number of commands.

I was connected to the download page for the stable version but noticed that it was version 8.4 not 8.6 that was presented, so cancelled the download. I have already got version 8.6 on my machine and see that there is no longer a Help link in the Addons Manager entry for WeatherPlus, just an About link.

Re: Performance/battery life using NVDA in Windows 10/11 arm in Parallels 17 VM on Mac OSX on an M1/Pro/Max Mac? Greg Wocher #89335 Hello, There is a YouTube channel called techopolis where they did a demonstration of installing Windows 11 arm version using parallel. In this demo they also installed NVDA on it. It seemed to be responsive and work fairly well If you search for the techopolis channel on YouTube you should be able to find the video. Greg Wocher toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Nov 4, 2021, at 8:23 PM, Mat Mirabella <mat@...> wrote: Hi all, As the subject line indicates, for those who have tried this, I was wondering what the impact on performance and also battery life is when using NVDA in this scenario. In particular, when using NVDA/Windows in the VM most of the time. I have seen previous discussions about getting this to work, but not much discussion on performance and impact on the system when using it. I understand that the new M1/Pro/Max systems are arm based, and to use Windows 10/11 on them, the only effective way is to install the arm version of Windows 10/11 pro as a VM in Parallels (now version 17.1) under Mac-OSX. I understand the performance of Windows is ok, but that because software like NVDA is an x86 application, there is a reliance on Microsoft’s emulation to allow x86/x64 software to run when using the arm version of Windows. This is likely to impact more than just NVDA, but as NVDA has to be always running and is being used all the time, the impact may be greater in terms of the experience than with other applications that can be used once and then closed when not in use. I realise that one of the hurdles for getting a good experience is sorting out the keyboard layout and key mappings. However, assuming this is sorted out, what I wondered was what the performance of using NVDA is like. i.e. is scrolling around the desktop and windows explorer fast or does it lag a bit? what happens in large word documents, web pages in Chrome or PDFs? I am also curious as to whether the very long battery life that people appear to be getting with these M1 macs is shorter in the above NVDA usage scenarios because of all the emulation going on, and if so, by how much. I was also wondering how coherence mode in Parallels works if you are using a screen reader like NVDA on the Windows side and VO on the Mac OSX side. Thanks for any insights. Kind regards. Mat.
