I hope I am not getting off topic, But NVDA is very sluggish when I arrow through my documents in my documents folder, for example. With JAWS, it is so snappy when I press the down arrow very quickly

No, it just tries to recognize text. It can't do the Facebook "picture may contain dog" thing, I think Narrator does something like that but I've never tried it. But that's something specific to

We'll see if the original poster has the same symptoms. The original message said that aside from alt tabbing through program windows and having toasts read, other things were alright. At this

Hi, Can confirm this. I can also confirm that yes, CPU cycles have a lot to do with this. This is also, for me at least, when explorer browsing becomes unresponsive and folders will not read. E.g.

Sorry to interfere the discussion here but seemingly relevant somehow to ask.  Just curious how precise does the OCR works with Windows 10 , I mean I have the installed version of the latest Windows

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
