Re: dectalk express u s b
I don't host any of them. Get it from Jeff's, link below. I see what the problem is. You're probably using IE, which automatically renames addons to zips, unless the server tells it not to. Also, copying it to synthDrivers won't work So you simply need to change the extension from .zip to .nvda-addon, or download with Firefox or chrome. Alternatively, do this. 1. Download the addon. You'll get a zip. 2. Copy it to your clipboard from explorer. 3. Open the NVDA menu, tools, Manage add-ons, install. 3. Paste. Press enter. Download link: https://jeff.tdrealms.com/Add-Ons/DECtalkUSB.nvda-addon

Subject: Re: [nvda] dectalk express u s b
There are two different addons. One for the dectalk express which
connects through a serial port, and one for the dectalk USB which
connects through a USB port.
If you have a dectalk USB connected through the USB port, you want the
USB addon.
If you want to connect it through serial, you need the dectalk express
addon, and you also need to edit it to change the serial port (or change
the port in device manager to match the one the addon is currently using).

Re: Hello/Still Noticing Slight Performance Decrease When Navigating with NVDA 2018.4
I noticed this in Chrome too - 2018.4 is slightly slower than
2018.3.2. All the betas of 2018.4 were slower as well. However, with
2018.3.2 I had a problem of weird behavior with missing keystrokes in
browse mode. So it seems to me some bugs were fixed that both solved
my problem and made chrome a bit slower.

When I navigate by links with K or shift K in Thunderbird and even, to an
extent, in Chrome I notice a slight slowdown in responsiveness compared to
2018.3. For a short time I thought it was my computer as I was sometimes
seeing this occur in 2018.3.2 but, in general, 2018.3.2 is still somewhat
faster. I sent Quentin a debug file with all addons disabled but I'm
assuming there was nothing obvious in the output as I haven't heard back. I
notice this with Espeak. On a faster machine I do not notice this but on a
slower Athlon 2.9 GHZ there is a slight but noticeable difference. Just
wondering if anybody has noticed this and if something changed in the code
regarding navigation?

Do you have the drivers installed? If not, go here and get them. If your PC is 64-bit, you'll want the 64-bit driver: http://www.axsol.com/downloads.phpOnce these are installed, restart your computer and try again. Last I checked many years ago, that addon worked. I don't have a dectalk, so can't debug it here. If you really want it to work, we might be able to debug remotely with you on Skype or something, but I can't guarantee anything.

Re: Problem installing latest update
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
Lucky you. My windows does not play any sound when the UAC dialog appears. I don't know if previous versions of windows made such a sound, but my 8.1 and my win10 make no sound when the dialog shows up, it just blanks the screen, which I can see, because the scren goes dark, then after I press the alt-y (once or twice depending), then the screen gets light again, so that's the way I manage it. If I wait long enough, I believe it does speak the contents, but that takes so long, that by the time it starts talking, I could have been back to what I was doing already, so there's no point to wait for the speech.

begin to do something such as install something that is expected to cause
UAC to come up, that would, I would think, make things easier and faster.
If you hear the sound, you shouldn't have to do anything, whether your
screen-reader reads the dialog or not, except to issue the command alt y. I
use NVDA on my Windows 7 machine as a portable program. It can't read the
UAC command for technical reasons I won't go into here and don't completely
know. But the sound plays every time. I just answer alt y.

For what it's worth, I had to answer alt-y to the security dialog twice.
I don't know if it's because it didn't take the first time, or if it jut
needed two yes responses, but I suspect it's the first option, because
I've had that issue before. I can't see much, but I can tell when the
security screen comes up, because it's dark, and the rest of my screens
are very light, so when it comes, I hit alt-y, and away it goes, but
perhaps I hit alt-y too early, so had to do it again, but that was the
only trouble I had installing NVDA 2018.4. It was a bit slow at first,
until I closed VLC, after that, it rturned to normal response times.
Don't know if it's a result of it just being VLC, or if it was a result of
my having had that particular copy of VLC open for nearly a week on this
machine, and it was just being a resource hot at that point, but
regardless of the reason, it behaved normally after I closed it, so there
itis for what it's worth. I haven't tried reopening VLC just yet, as I'm
not ready to continue reading that particular book.

Hi Janet,
As Joseph asked, did you get the UAC dialog asking if you want to allow the
program to make changes to your PC? If you aren't seeing the UAC dialog, or
aren't responding to it, that would generate a log like the one you
included. See Joseph's message for a workaround.
Kind regards

Sometimes, attempting an install after logging out and back in

Hi Janet,
We'll need a bit more information to help you. One of the most common
reasons is that when you run the installer, it brings up a User
Account Control (UAC) dialog. The dialog warns that the program wants
to make changes to your PC and you must accept it to continue. That's
a standard Windows warning when you install any software, but
occasionally it appears behind other windows. If the program is
installing (the progress bar is beeping) but you haven't answered that
dialog yet, try using ALT+TAB to find it (if it doesn't appear on top
of everything, it often appears at the back, as in the last window in
the list when you ALT+TAB). If you don't respond to it within about
20 seconds, it will close and the install will fail.
Kind regards
Quentin.

When I navigate by links with K or shift K in Thunderbird and even, to an extent, in Chrome I notice a slight slowdown in responsiveness compared to 2018.3. For a short time I thought it was my computer as I was sometimes seeing this occur in 2018.3.2 but, in general, 2018.3.2 is still somewhat faster. I sent Quentin a debug file with all addons disabled but I'm assuming there was nothing obvious in the output as I haven't heard back. I notice this with Espeak. On a faster machine I do not notice this but on a slower Athlon 2.9 GHZ there is a slight but noticeable difference. Just wondering if anybody has noticed this and if something changed in the code regarding navigation?
