Re: NVDA adding and changing settings
Chris Mullins
Hi I have been using screen readers for years, though not WindowEyes, and cannot remember a time when i relied on a “document saved” message appearing. When editing a document in Word or Notepad, Control+s is the shortcut to save your document without exiting from it. Using this shortcut implies that you want to save your document contents at that point. If you then use alt+f4 to close the document, it will close. If your document contains unsaved changes and you try to close it using Alt+f4, you will get a message asking if you want to save the document or not . At this point you have 3 choices: you can press the ‘Save’ button – saves the document and closes it You can press the ‘don’t Save’ button – Closes the document without saving it. ** You can press the ‘Cancel’ button – returns focus to the document which remains open.
** Word contains options to auto-save a document at timed intervals whilst editing. If this feature is active, when choosing not to save, you may get a further choice to disregard all changes or only those made since a particular auto-save point.
So, in a nutshell, if you want to be asked if you want to save or not, don’t bother with Control+s, just press alt+f4. If there are unsaved changes you will get the Save/Don’t Save dialog, if you haven’t changed anything the document will close.

Hi Arlene, Using Notepad in Win7 the control-s command saves my document. What I do not hear in NVDA is the question “do you want to save the document” and the statement “document saved.” I use Window-Eyes and it tells me what I want and like to hear! I was doing some editing earlier this evening using NVDA and found other differences on the QBraille display I use. If and when it becomes necessary to only use NVDA it will take some getting used to on my Win10 PC since it does not use Window-Eyes. There are days when Grandpa DOS wishes he could go back to DOS again! Thanks for your reply. Listening for His shout! Grant |

There is no relation between a registry cleaner and
the NVDA utility. Its purpose is very specific. At times, doing
something like uninstalling Microsoft office unregisters some entries that
shouldn't be unregistered. That makes NVDA unable to do a number of things
that are necessary, such as work properly with many browsers. All the
registry tool does is reregister entries that are already in the registry that
the uninstallation improperly unregistered. It doesn't clean or remove
anything.

Microsoft SAPI 5 It seems to me there is a bit of a knee jerk response to this. If changing register should not be done why does nvda have a com register tool itself. If you are going to use any software to clean register first manually back up your own registry You can then restore it if all goes wrong. I would first create a new user account with admin ability and test nvda in this situation, possible corrupted user profile. If things are still not right try the nvda tools com reg tool. I hope this mght help.

Re: Urgent help needed NVDA was not able to loa Microsoft SAPI 5
Quentin Christensen
I wouldn't immediately jump to reinstalling Windows just yet. Can you use eSpeak NG? Also can you give us the exact error you get when you try to load a SAPI 5 synthesizer? Have you installed, updated or uninstalled anything recently? The log didn't make it through - they can't be sent to the list, but you can send it to me offlist at info@... if you like. If it's a language issue, if you open NVDA's general settings (assuming you can still use any of NVDA?) can you set the language to English instead of default? And if that works, it might be worth checking what your Windows language is set to just in case that has changed.

Re: Using Surface Pro with touchscreen only?
Denis Sariyannis
Thanks for all your answers. Does anyone know how I can navigate through a list view? If I do it with narrator or NVDA I always navigate through columns but not through lines. it is very annoying when using Windows Explorer. I guess there must be a build in solution to do this. Otherwise I'm going to create a gesture for it. Von meinem iPhone gesendet Am 06.11.2019 um 23:27 schrieb Quentin Christensen <quentin@...>:

Re: NVDA adding and changing settings

Grant! In my win 7 box, I had outlook 2010. I used NVDA for when I had to write a document in word. When I went to save it. NVDA did not ask you if you want to save the document. I can’t remember how I did it using it. I had to close NVDA down and get Jaws up. I had to save the document using jaws cause Jaws does ask you if you want to save your document. I told it yes. I don’t have word now that I have win ten. If I did. I’d retest NVDA and try to save a document using NVDA. I’d try to find how one does it.

Hi,
Very annoying to me. Today I wake up to find that my NVDA suddenly doesn't speak English. If I try to set Microsoft SAPI 5 as the speach engine, NVDA display error message that the speech synth was not able to load. The problem also exist if I try to load RH voice. For details, I have included in the log file here. I am very very upset now. Could any one offer me a fix for it. Many thanks. William |
