Betreff: [nvda] NVDA 2019.2 and the new Chromium Edge?

Hi,

Did anyone else get this today yet and if so, are you having any issues with
reading anything on it? Tab seems to work, but no go with the arrow keys for
us and we're also using Windows 10 version 1909. I didn't change anything in
settings, but maybe I need to?

Hello NVDA users, especially NVDA Remote add-on fans:

For the last few months, many of you were wondering about what’s going on with NVDA Remote add-on, which isn’t compatible with upcoming NVDA 2019.3. I’m delighted to announce that something is indeed happening with the add-on. According to Reef Turner, an NV Access staff and NVDA developer, NV Access people just sent a series of patches to Remote add-on developers to make the add-on ready for NVDA 2019.3.

Stay tuned for updates on this front.

Cheers,

Joseph

Do I have to go get the windows update that makes Edge better? I never got a notification about it. If I have to go get it I wil.

Well, that’s interesting – I’ve been following the Edge update thread as well (thanks for the upgrade link)

NVDA with Edge Chromium JUST reads the aria-label text on this page and ignores the <foreignobject> content

https://www.creativemedia.org.uk/interactive-trees/filtration-tryout.html

…whereas Chrome JUST reads the contents of the <foreignobject> tag and ignores the aria-label.

It’s starting to feel like 2003 again, trying to keep all the different browsers happy…. ☹

Hi,

This is my first post here – I develop learning resources for a university and we want to make them NVDA-friendly.

I’m  currently working on a decision tree, which can be seen here:

https://www.creativemedia.org.uk/interactive-trees/filtration-tryout.html

I want to add an invisible description to each node on the tree to help NVDA users navigate.

Below is part of the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) from the page: I’ve used the aria-label tag to explain where the node fits in the tree, but my NVDA doesn’t read it out. I’ve also tried title, alt and label in various places but they don’t get read out either.

Can anyone give me any hints or solutions? All I can think of is to use a hidden <div> which I don’t think is an ideal solution.

Thank you

• Paddy

Hi all.

On the subject of edge, it may come past in the next update pass.

It is supposed to be out today.

Usually updates come out between 5 am and 8 am new zealand time, equate
that to your timezone.

There is a windowsupdate twitter and blog which will tell you to.

Currently if I search for edge I get a page which states thats its
almost there.

I'm not going to push it if it doesn't.

Yes you can install edge stable yourself, and you can also just as
quickly remove it.

I'd wait for the full system integrated  version myself.

There are a few pinned icons and links to word and other microsoft
online things to manage when you do at least with the stable version.

Some of these I do not personally like.

It does seam that you will have to make sure you reset your internet
brouser though after install as things became a little messed up after
install when I did it.

It will be interesting what this eventually does.

For myself I do wander things like what chrome will do and the
differences between it and chrome will truely be.

Most people in the house are chrome users and I am a waterfox user and
this will not change that much as everything we have is up there.

I fully presume microsoft edge will only allow native connection to
microsoft services but who knows.

Updates usually are not posted until after 9 AM and the Edge update will not

happen for everyone at the same time.

I used Express VPN for the year between September 2018 and 2019 while I was living in a uni hall of residence so wanted to minimise any potential wifi snooping.

I found Express VPN very hard to use with NVDA. I figured out which button to press to turn the VPN on (none of the buttons are spoken as anything other than "button") and I could hear the label next to the switch network .... but it never gave me any alternative VPN networks other than the one it was connected to ... maybe it did list other networks but didn't speak them ... whatever the reason Express VPN worked as far as connecting to one single VPN network, but nothing at all more than that.

I haven't tried using a VPN since the Express VPN experience, but do read any posts about them on here in case something easy to use does get suggested :)

Hi
A hard disk crash has seen off my copy of Excel 2007 so I'm looking
for an alternative amongst Open Office, Libra Office and Google. Are
there any NVDA users out there that could give me feedback regarding
the accessibility of these products and whether I could still access
my existing Excel format spreadsheets with any or all of them? Your
advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Chris


.

To be honest I am happy they didn't role all of it out today.

I have been spending most of the morning updating 2 laptops and 2
desktop units.

In these I had codecs, java, flash, windows update and store updates as
well as office and some gps updates.

In addition some of these units like my laptop and one of the desktops
had spaciffic driver updates and its taken me 4 hours so its good its
tomorrow.

It will come through Windows Update.

Hay I was wondering if the new edge will just come to my computer or
will I have to down load the browser.  Edge comes out this Wednesday.
