Yeah, mine does not make any noise either, but I disabled it, and do every time I am on windows anything. I'm the only one who uses the computer and if I don't recognize something I stop it anyway.

I'll try reinstalling it again and see what happens.

I'm extremely skeptical of that. Nothing has been installed yet. Speech occurs when installation has failed. And as I understand it, NVDA is in memory and can work even if the files on the drive

I was just thinking this last night reading this thread. Do you have your UAC level set to 0? If so you won’t hear nothing. I am the only dude who uses my PC, but I still use UAC but my level is set

Hi, Last I heard, the developer of Emoticons add-on is trying to make the add-on play better with NVDA 2018.4. Cheers, Joseph

Hi! It's true that NVDA can read a lot of emoji now without the Emoticons add-on running, but it doesn't always read the old-fashioned emoticons, made with punctuation marks and sometimes letters,

Hi, Emoticons versus emojis: they are two different things. The Emoticons add-on comes with definitions of some popular emoticons and emojis, but they are tiny compared to what NVDA can read now in

Just to clarify this is the pound sign, which of course is only spoken in the previous email if you ar cursoring through it or indeed using speech player in Espeak as the synth not espeak

Several other things spring to mind. There has been a lot of talk that the emoticons are in the core now, so do you need the add on at all? also I'm totally confused about the state of the win 10

I have loads including the very important application dictionary, toolbar explorer fake copy announcement remote, open link with, Extended Winamp and dropbox to name but a few. I do hope some third

Hi, In case of Emoticons add-on, it might be that something is holding onto manifest file somehow, thus preventing package deletion. As for config file error: might be caused by nvda.ini becoming

That may be what is supposed to occur, but time after time it goes mute and does not use the built in secure screen reader. Its not just that its opened behind either, even alt tabbing will not reveal

The problem is, Janet that you often have a catch 22 issue in this sort of case. NVDA doing a full update has probably decoupled all the old files and so there is no screenreader to read it, hence the

I do not think this is the problem here, it sounds to me more like a weird impossible to write to a folder issue. Maybe an existing file is locked permanently due to a bad shutdown. There are some

Now I had a similar issue with virtual recorder after a windows update. I had to uninstall it and reinstall it again and it then functioned. It would not be the first time a windows update has altered

Hi, While proof reading some documents in Word today using the latest nvda and its inbuilt Espeak NG I encountered an issue. although it can speak the £ sign when cursoring through a line, it will

Hello, I think that isn't a problem. In voice setting dialog by default the level of symbols is "Some", and the level for each emoji in the dialog Punctuation/symbol pronunciation is "Some". You can

Hi! I also had the problem that the new version of the Emoticons add-on failed to install: in my case there was an error with the installation of that add-on’s update when I used the add-on updater

Hello all, A friend of mine has reported to me a problem with his copy of NVDA 2018.4. Some add-ons fail to install/work under this version of NVDA. It is an installed copy of

Hello. I managed to solve the problem. In the NVDA menu, a submenu of Preferences, there is the item "Punctuation/symbol pronunciation...". This dialog box has all the smilies. You need to select the
