edit user guide
falkogiepmans@...
Hi All,
I would like to include some windows key shortcuts for Excel in the user guide (like control+arrows to find data in a sheet). It occurred to me that a lot of people are not aware of this and look in the NVDA user guide thinking that is all. How can I efficiently contribute to this? Should I make a pull-request on the github of NVDA? Thanks in advance, Falko |

Hi You can use the shift key to pause /resume speech when a “say all” command has been issued but I don’t think it will work to block message announcements during a Skype call.

Hi List,
Maybe I've missed some posts on thisthread. The simplest way to pause and resume nvda reading is to press the shift key, like a toggle, off and on. It works.
Cheers,

Another? As in: other than speech mode off, which does exactly that?
Or, do you mean a command that will do what speech mode off does, but also globally disable keyboard intercept as sleep mode does for an application? If you want that, I don't know of anything, but then I can't imagine why having that would be easier than unloading NVDA.
Setting your speech synth to "No speech" will do something similar to speech mode off, and I suppose you can do that with a profile, which you can't do with sleep mode.

Re: What are the accessible mathematics read and write solutions?
Sascha Cowley
There is MathPlayer, which works with NVDA and Firefox to make some maths content accessible. It also supposedly works with Microsoft Word, though I have personally never managed to get this working.
With experimental UIA support enabled for Word, native equations in Word are fairly accessible, or were when I tried it some months ago. I've also had a little success using equations in Google Docs, though I had trouble inputting them. I have not worked with the Docs equation editor very much at all, though, so I may have just been missing something. Using LaTeX, or a similar (even ad hoc) plane text notation is often successful. The advantage with LaTeX is that it produces nicely typeset output. Unfortunately, it is extremely picky, and debugging output is often not very helpful. Plus it's just a lot to learn. |

coscell@...
Hi,
How do you write math equations to the sighted person with nvda? Are there accessible methods for reading and writting mathematical meterials? |

Hello,
2021.1 is an add-on-breaking release. It is hoped that add-on authors will update their add-ons, but any information regarding specific add-ons will come from the authors of that add-on. I would suggest possibly reaching out to them, or asking on the add-ons list, although I would hope that additional information will be provided to this group regarding popular add-ons in time as well.
Thanks.

However, the beeps are much too high frequency. I find them very annoying. They should be much lower in tone.

Re: Strange behaviour of Google Chrome

You are evidently deleting cookies when you delete browsing data. I don't know what is making the site not work properly. it might be worth experimenting when it doesn't. You can tell browsers what to delete. You can try deleting other data first and save deleting cookies for last.

Another option might be to save your cookies, if that is the problem, at a time when the site is working properly. Do it as soon as you have reentered information and login is again automatic. Then, if deleting the cookies is necessary to solve the problem, restore the backed up cookies. I don't know if you can back up cookies in the browser you are using. You can using Internet Explorer, but I haven't checcked other browsers. Gene -----Original Message-----

I have book marks on chrome. If I need a web page I go get it in the book marks. If there’s a page I no longer use I just get rid of it. Same with my history and data. I do it once a month. I clean it usually the last day of the month in case there’s a page I need then I book mark it. If I don’t need it I dump it. I don’t know what this prosesor uses I know Chrome runs fine. My tutor who helped me with my online course installed it and I been using it since.
