I got a new computer for Christmas, and was running the latest version

on both this one and my new one. I can't remember the version that was, you might be able to look that up. I'm now running 2021.3.4, but just updated to that today, so haven't been in a Zoom meeting with that version yet. I am not running the Zoom Enhancements addon.

If you don't, then please report it to them. Also, you didn't say what version of NVDA you're running (insert+n, h, a), or how long ago (I.E. under which earlier version of NVDA) this worked. I do not believe this format error stems from NVDA core; the NVDA built in Zoom appModule doesn't touch that area of Zoom output. Luke

No. I did not know if there was a work-around already. If it is all graphics as my daughter says I am not sure there is a work-around.

Zoom oddities
Bob Cavanaugh
Hi all,
Well, I'm back on the list with a question after about 15 months of relatively trouble free use of NVDA. Actually I have two concerns regarding Zoom: 1. When I enter a meeting, NVDA used to say "you are in the meeting hosted by (name) with # participants." Now it says "you are in the meeting hosted by %F with %D participants." 2. I was trying to set up a meeting to recur on the third Saturday of the month, but couldn't figure out how to do it. A friend of mine runs a recurring meeting on the first Saturday of the month, and she can have the meeting dates displayed in the invitation, but when I try to set up a recurring meeting, my meetings always come up as "this is a recurring meeting, meet anytime." She is using JAWS. Does anyone know if I can access the recurring meeting function within Zoom using NVDA? Thanks, Bob

Are the acapela and codefactory add-ons incompatible again?!With stable NVDA? No, they shouldn't be. With alphas (snapshots)? Of course they will be incompatible. It is no surprise, that if you are running alphas, add-ons will become incompatible. Don't panic or be shocked about that. You are running software that is not ready for public use, so it is to be expected that add-ons are not ready for it. Run the latest published version (2021.3.4), if you want everything to keep working. Even when the NVDA beta comes out, add-ons will still be getting ready. In fact, they can't even start publishing new releases that support new NVDA, *until* the first beta of the year comes out. Luke

Re: Can't Upgrade While Using RDP
Christopher Duffley
If you're referring to Microsoft Remote Desktop, yes, about 99% of it or so is very accessible with NVDA! The best way to disconnect a machine that's on an NVDARemote connection, however, is to use a Disconnect RDP.bat file that I can send a link to for the Machine being controlled. This is because if you don't use this file disconnect almost every other way, the NVDARemote connection will freeze in terms of sending commands to the machine.

Re: Can't Upgrade While Using RDP
Christopher Duffley
If you're using the NVDARemote add-on, that will be your best bet. That's how I did it on my dedicated server out of St. Louis with Server4You. That's the only way, besides RDP, that I can control my machine.

Re: NVDA and Go to Meeting
Richard Kuzma
Good afternoon,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I use go to meeting on occasion and am using jaws here and am dead in the water once I join the meeting, So would guess nvda is no good either, but never tried with it. Don’t forget there is always the option to call into the meeting via phone and that would give you access to the stuff via your phone keypad.

Task Bar - Running Applications - After upgrade 2021.3.4
Russell James
Greetings, I think this happened after the previous update as well... When I upgraded to 2021.3.4 my running applications in the task bar go silent using mouse over the icons. The icons to the left are spoken but all I get when using the mouse over the running application icons is a generic "running applications" response. When I restart the problem is resolved. Russ

Re: Clipspeak Interfering with Clipboard and Other Functions
Hi, By the way, when you do release a ClipSpeak version compatible with upcoming NVDA 2022.1, please do two things: inform the add-ons list about the new maintainer, and post the repo somewhere (these days, GitHub); these two tasks are required, especially the second task (since the previous maintainer posted the source code in GitHub). Cheers, Joseph

Re: Clipspeak Interfering with Clipboard and Other Functions
Hi, Without going into details (because it is quite technical here), there is a line of code near the top of the file where everything from a module is imported which is considered bad practice in Python programming community. Cheers, Joseph

Re: In praise of the NAO (NVDA Advanced OCR) addon
Not an NVDA Add-On, that's for sure, but for anyone who wants to add a text layer directly to an image scanned PDF (or PDF that contains text that's somehow not accessible) and save that permanently as part of the PDF file, see my now ancient tutorial: Using Tracker Software’s PDF-Xchange Viewer to OCR Process Image Scanned PDFs
Still works like a charm, and they have free language packs for something like 20 languages in addition to the 4 that come built-in to their OCR engine as shipped. It does not, however, language switch. It's presumed that the document being OCR-ed is in one language. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Constantly insisting on “my rights” with no consideration of “my responsibilities” isn’t “freedom” — it’s adolescence.
