Hi Quentin, Sorry, but this is plain wrong. You don’t need to log into any account for JAWS to give you image descriptions, but I do agree, they probably paid handsomely for the privilege.

Now this I would agree with. NVDA should offer image descriptions natively. All the best Steve

Hi Quentin, I get what you’re saying, but what is contradictory about what I said? I basically said that NVDA doesn’t provide for OCR using a camera or scanner, but I don’t think that is

I don't think there is another suitable key. Control is already used to interrupt speech because it does nothing when pressed by itself. I suspect few people turn interrupt speech

Hi. That's what I think too. Certainly, the choice of the "Shift" key to interrupt speech may not be very judicious. It would take another key to keep the functionality whatever

Hi Bhavya, One of the main blockers to this is license-free access to a description engine. I don't believe we're against including such functionality, but all of the ones I know of are either paid,

Dear all, I don't mean to detract from the main subject of the thread, but is there an add-on or future plans for core for NVDA to offer image descriptions? VoiceOver, JAWS, and I believe Talkback

Steve, That's a very contradictory point! It's true that NVDA does not have the facility to let you scan a hardcopy document with a scanner directly, and we would also argue that is the realm of

It may be a bug, but I doubt it.  Consider the following: When the check box is checked and you press shift, pause turns on. It turns on when you press shift, not when you release it.  If you press

Has this already been submitted as a bug report on nvda's bighub? If not this probably should be.

The setting I leave on is "NVDA menu", "Preferences", Settings", "Keyboard" category in the list, Tab over a few Times to "Speech interrupt for Typed Characters". Turning this off disables the Shift

I'm now retracting several of my prior messages. I have no idea why, or what it was I did yesterday, but I could have sworn that when I did a "cd %TEMP%" it did not take me to the user's appdata temp

Still doesn’t let you scan from a scanner or camera though, without any add-on. I think that’s where JAWS has the edge, though I would posit that OCR scanning is not really the function of a

Hello In a user session, %tmp% is the Temp folder located in the user's AppData\Local folder. So it's correct and shorter. Cheers, Cyrille

Interesting that, Maybe my path statement has got changed at some point. Thanks for that. Brian -- bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.(Virgin media) Please address personal E-mail

I would start out with sending feedback via the teams app. Then go from there. Good luck.

Hi all, When using my orbit reader 20, I have determined that some flash alerts like if someone has sent me a message while I am in another chat are spoken but not brailled. How do I determine who to

Most of the time, I use the control key to silence speech. But sometimes, it doesn't work, and the shift key works in those cases. I didn't know about the setting, bug or not, that would allow the
