So you are using the web interface for email are you?

I never had much luck with that myself. The question is, is it in fact Firefox or is it because you are using the basic version of gmail? Have you thought about using a client instead of webmail? If your windows 7 is 64 bit I can say that the latest version of Firefox is working a lot better these days, but of course still has no sounds. You could try waterfox 64 as it is more like Firefox 52 but has more security fixes. Some web sites are increasingly saying its not supported so I think the author is going to lie about what version it is to get around the issue soon. There is no real problem with older firefox versions but many sites seem to be elitist. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Changing to G-Chrome?
David Russell
Hi NVDA Group,
I am in search of a new browser to replace use of FireFox 52. It does not reproduce hyperlinks, and more people are telling me that only the URL for a website appears in their email from me, not hyperlinked. As an author, I cannot really have this occur. Some years ago G-chrome seemed not to work that well with Jaws or NVDA and either FireFox or Internet Exp were recommended for compatibility. I have a Windows 7 computer, and wonder if I switch to G-Chrome, do I get the hyperlinks insertion as automatic, and does it take time to learn how to re-use email or the internet? My GMail setting is for HTML. If there is another browser option, please suggest. Thanks. Cheers, -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@...

I'm Abdel, one of the collaborators for the Clock add-on. Thank you for reporting this issue that I have just fixed. The version entry in the manifest file includes now the "-dev" suffix like the add-on file name. Keep us informed about the resolution of this problem. Thanks. Kind regards.

Hi all,

Root cause found: add-on manifest and file name mismatch. The add-on manifest says add-on version is 19.01.2, whereas add-on installer name includes "-dev" suffix. Resolving this will require changes to add-ons community web server infrastructure. In the meantime, I have alerted the add-on author about this problem. Cheers, Joseph

Re: word skipping pages

Hi,

I've faced the issue when I've handled scanned documents. In order to solve the problem, I would switch my word to the outline view, and, it would seem to satisfy me. It's happened on earlier versions of word. One more thing: When I find that it skips pages, I return to the page word skips from, and I'd use the right arrow to lead me to the next page, so that it won't skip. That's what I've experienced and done as far as the skipping pages is concerned.

Dear Max & List: It could be you created the recorder folder inside another folder. Try finding it by doing this: Press windows key to get the search box. Type cmd: windows will say command prompt. Press enter. Type cd c:\ Type dir and either the folder name or the recorder program name followed by /s Press enter. Example: Dir virtual-recorder/s followed by enter. This will search your entire hard drive for the elusive folder. If found, it gives the path to the folder. If windows will not execute the program by just using the program name, you can run it by providing the complete path to the program. When you run the program, see if the setup for it will let you provide a desktop ikon for it to make running it again easier. When finished with the command prompt, either type exit with the enter key or close the window with alt plus f4. Windows knows many command-line commands such as dir, cd, Del, rd, xcopy, type and attrib; I have used these commands to quickly save my bacon a few times! Happy program hunting.

Hi Are you sure you ran the install version? There is a non-install version as well which I gave up on because Windows Defender kept moving it into quarantine. Under W10, I downloaded and installed the install version and have been using it without problems. The installed version definitely shows up in the list of installed programs, and creates a desktop item. You are better using the install version anyway as some of the features cannot be used in the non-install version.

Well, I will bet lots of others are having the same problem but nobody wants to be the first. OK, I will be that person. The virtual recorder install program did not create an entry in the start menu or a desktop icon or an icon in the applications bar as mentioned in the readme file. I tried to start it with the command line but that has been changed and I do not know how to access it anymore. When I had it running after the installation I made a test recording but the directory where it said it put the recording does not show up in windows explorer.

Hello.
Regarding your comments, you can get more information on the spanish nationality for sephardics at http://www.mjusticia.gob.es/cs/Satellite/Portal/es/areas-tematicas/nacionalidad/concesion-nacionalidad
Related to the main topic of this thread, I don't know how big
they are, but imagine so thinking that you can put a keyboard on
it, I think that these displays were designed to do that. I also
don't know how units are available. Additionally, note that these
displays, as I've said, are quite old and only have serie and
parallel connections available, although you can use an adapter. I've found an Eco Plus manual here (in Spanish): ftp://ftp.once.es/pub/utt/bibliotecnia/Lineas_Braille/ECO/ecoplus.doc

Re: Reading Appointments in Outlook Calendar
Kelby,
Here's how you do it in Outlook 2010 with NVDA. I doubt much has changed in the versions since. If you're actually looking at appointments in any of the calendar views without actually opening the appointment itself, a CTRL+C when it has focus copies its Subject field (appointment name) alone. You can then go anywhere that text can be pasted and paste it. If you actually open the appointment then get to the Subject edit box, hit CTRL+A to select all, then CTRL+C to copy. That appointment name is now on the clipboard and you can go anywhere that allows text to be pasted and paste it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

Re: Virtual Dub.
I'm writing in markdown, so, all you text only email people, links will be embedded. I've tried looking for alternative video editors but there is nothing out there that even remotely looks accessible at first glance. There's the VLM maker, it runs on the same code as VLC, but no word about it's accessibility. There's Open Shot, but have no idea how accessible it is. Looks like the only thing is virtual dub.
