Maybe disabling the user dictionary will work. To answer your question from earlier, that entry only effects the given example and ones like it - a number followed by a space and a letter.

It actually has nothing whatsoever about abbreviation expansion, but I disabled the user dictionary. I don't think that will matter since the user dictionary seems to be empty. I also unchecked

If you're using CodeFactory Eloquence, check in its control panel for things like abbreviation expansion and uncheck it. I know the Android one has it.

Will that kill all expansion or just this case? I don't think you can turn expansion off for Eloquence but I'd love to. I'd rather hear dee-ar than have it try to expand things.

This is mostly the synthesizer, though NVDA is also part of the problem. Some synthesizers allow this to be turned off. I don't know if OneCore Does (maybe somewhere in the SSML spec), but I know

NVDA-r runs either the OCR addon if you have it installed in previous versions of Windows, or Windows OCR in Windows 10. It will give you that kind of buffer-like thing if it recognizes text, yes.

Do other screen-readers have the same problem? I don't that the problem has anything to do with computer power being used. Since other activities are still performed well or reasonably quickly, it

There is a behavior in NVDA that is rather bothersome. During a task that requires a lot of processing, such as a large file copy, a batch file conversion, or some other process that uses a lot of CPU

and think nvda r might do it.

Hi I just went looking for guides etc done by users etc on both the community website and the nv access website do you reckon i could find them easily? I think it was quicker for me to do a search

Well, under Firefox ctrl+f4 closes the tab I am currently viewing. ctrl+w closes the browser. I have never tried using ctrl+w under Firefox before now. Under Chrome

Hi, You might be thinking of both: a different screen reader which does provide a command to do it, and an NVDA add-on that simu8lates it. Actually, come to think of it, there is a third way (with

Hi, One way to find out: try it with Espeak NG set as the synthesizer. Cheers, Joseph

There is an addon, that gives you a hotkey. https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/virtualRevision.en.html

Hi Gene, I too am seeing the same weirdness. I am running NVDA 2017-3 and the MS One core voice David. It is reading cup from his email as Cuban Pesos. He had it

This is synth dependent. Under the one core voices I get Cuban Pesos too, but under Eloquence it reads just fine. Also under eSpeak NG, Rh Voice, Svox Pico, and Nuance Vocalizer. All of those read as

I didn't' actually see it, but I thougth there was a keyboard hot key I could hit to do this, or am I thinking of a different screen reader. Take care

I just wrote the following line in notepad. 1/2 cup flour. it read perfectly using window Eyes and Jaws, but NVDA says Cuban Peso for the word cup. You'd want the / mark to know it's .5cup No big

There' an addon.

Is there a way of doing this? Can I hit a key stroke that will turn let's say an error window into a virtual buffer for which I can then copy to the clip board? I thought there was a way to do this
