Re: NVDA object navigation
Jujube
Hi Lexi, So as far as object navigation goes, at least in laptop layout, you press NVDA+Contro+left/right arrow to move between objects, and NVDA+Control+up/down arrow to move between groups of objects. Once you've located the object you want to click on, press NVDA+shift+backspace to move the system focus to the object you want to click on. As far as OCR is concerned, that's a different feature entirely. Put your cursor on the image you want to recognize and press NVDA+r. Hope this helps.

Lexi,
Take a look at the following topic in the archive (which I so happen to have started): NVDA OCR - Can you save the text result somehow?

There is no setting. Short cuts and the shortcut commands such as control alt n are Windows functions. NVDA creates a short cut and a short cut key when you install it but what it creates is a Windows shortcut and a Windows short cut key.
Go to the desktop and type n repeatedly. Do you get to an NVDA shortcut? Do you know how to check if there is a shortcut key assigned to the NVDA shortcut if you get to one? We will tell you how if you don’t know.

Re: CTRL + ALT + N not working for me
Find the shortcut for NVDA on your desktop and go into its Properties with ALT+Enter. You assign the shortcut key there.

I had this problem once but I solved it by asking on the support pages of the website to resend an activation code to my email address.

Hello Brian,
didn’t find a field to check the shortcut keys to start NVDA. This is a matter of the desktop shortcut. Do you have one on your Desktop? And if so: When You open its settings by pressing Alt+Enter What is the content of the field for the shortcut in there? If it is CTRL+Alt+N There may be a second desktop shortcut with this keyboard shortcut and this may cause this effect as well. Ad Astra Yeti

Re: Reading be accessible name of an interactive components in screen readers
It really helps to have a few specific examples where the behavior either occurs or does not occur, and consistently.
This really cannot be discussed in the abstract. One has to be trying to deal with something in order to tease out what is, or is not, occurring. And if a fix to NVDA ends up being needed, this is absolutely essential. You can't fix what you can't reproduce. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard

Re: Reading be accessible name of an interactive components in screen readers
Russell James
This is a great question I would also very much like to understand this :-) Sometimes it works really well and other times not at all I think it is different in Windows applications versus web applications I have noticed at times that it wasn't working on things that I know it has worked with previously and so I will restart nvda and sometimes that resolves the problem I have also noticed this more recently and can't explain what brought about the change because I don't think nvda has been updated for some time on the computers I'm using The other day I had a related experience while using a remote windows 10 computer and I couldn't get the system tray icons to be spoken I realize that I am assuming what you meant and what I think you meant is using a physical mouse to explore by mouse the content on the display Russ

Does anybody have any idea what might be preventing me from registering QRead on my new tablet? I did ask this question through the QRead contact page, but no response as yet. TIA :) Giles

Reading be accessible name of an interactive components in screen readers
Eilana Benish
Hello everybody I would like to understand what makes NVDA read the label or the accessible name when hovering with the mouse on button or image button. Let's say that the button image button or other element in the form off interactive components has an accessible name. Sometimes NVDA will read the name and sumtimes not. I must say that in JAWS screen reader, this function of reading the accessible name off interactive component works much better with mouse hover. For example I can hover on a button in Gmail app for the web and JAWS will read the accessible name and NVDA not Since there are a lot of low vision users and other people with cognitive disabilities who can benefit from hearing the text that associated with the interactive component, it is important to understand the conditions that makes NVDA read the component name.
