I've never used it, but with a risk of stating the obvious, has anyone ever contacted the site to find out why they cannot make at least an accessible version?

This thread raises the question about whether a feature should be added to NVDA while using browse mode or forms mode. If you are filling out a form, it might be a useful feature to be able to have new material that comes up in response to an action taken automatically read. It appears, from comments in this thread, that new material comes up in response to something the user does and it is not in the form or not in a place the user would come across it if just going down the form. If it were read, the user would be alerted to look elsewhere for the new material.

I'm not sure this feature should be on by default but it might be useful and save people trouble.

I wonder if anybody can give me some advice as to the exact steps to follow in order to use the Amazon website to cancel Kindle magazine subscriptions.I can get to the "manage content and devices" section as instructed. I even managed to get the site to show my magazine subscriptions, something I was not successful at doing using my iPhone.


Once you have the subscriptions showing, there is an "actions" button to the left of each subscription. You are suppose to click on that to reveal choices, such as changing payment method or canceling the subscription. I can find the cancel subscription, but it does not activate when you press enter on it. I can also find it with object navigation, then press the numpad key for left click, also to no avail.
What am I missing here?

Microsoft will stop issuing updates for win 7 next January.

I have read comments that win 7 can be used safely after this time if some conditions are followed.I understand these to be;

---a current browser such as firefox or chrome,

---an accessible antivirus and malware program.

What are antivirus and malware programs that will work with nvda in win 7?

Are there other items that I should consider if I choose to use win 7 after January 2020?

I think Windows' advantage is that it has a good accessibility system for programs and screen readers to use. NVDA on Linux and Android would suffer the same as Orca and TalkBack do. The screen reader cannot, usually, get at more than what the operating system, whether it be Windows, Linux, or Android, gives it.

Re: reviewing a web page

I think some of the strangest ones is where somebody who built the site left text in which the paper and ink colour is the same. Sighte people do not see this but we hear it.
In the most benign cases you here content goes here, but sometimes its a nasty swear word or a big pile of unrelated words, no doubt put there to make it match any search you fancy. Very naughty. Just another issue where screenreader use can be a bit confusing. Anyway topic drift warning, I'm not saying any more.

Hi,
Same case of the guy asking about breadcrumb yesterday, if it wasn't
you, I actually don't remember :)
"inserted" is an HTML tag which indicates that something was deleted and
some other thing is on the place of the old one now.
Suppose you have an original price for something but this thing is with
an off for a limited time. You may well want use the "inserted" HTML tag
to delete the price and replace it with the new one.
Actually, most of the time it's a combo of two tags, one to delete the
old and the other to insert the new content.
I forgot what the other tag is so you may google it if you want more info.
And, while it may be useless for some people, no, as far as I know,
there's no way of turning such announcement off using NVDA.

You can continue to use Windows 7 after the end date in the same way that people are still using Windows XP
But you take the risk of some sort of attack due to the fact that holes in the operating system are not being patched by the supplier
That’s a risk that you choose to take or not depending on your situation

They are after the heading, before the actual links to the episodes in both cases, but the with something else seems to show up on the Iphone but not in Firefox/waterfox.

Are you saying you want an address to subscribe to a podcast? I see, using an older version of Chrome, specific episodes linked to, such as a link to Episode 72 of a podcast after a dewscription of it. Where are links to subscribe found when you look using another platform? At this point we have far too little information to say that it is at all likely the site is tailoring content. It may just be that this or that browser is showing code on the page that other browsers don't.

Here is the direct link to episode 72 of a podcast. I used to copy shortcut feature in Chrome, the same as copy link location in Firefox. Is the link to the general podcast series based on this link?

In addition to what you mentioned above, geography can also be a factor in

for amazon.com and amazon.ca.

Hi,

Just some random thoughts here in no particular order.



NVDA isn't coming to iPhone, so let's put that to bed right now. It's apple.


The interesting thing here is that despite the claim to 'get over it', Windows on arm is actually a very real thing. NVDA would run on that - all be it emulating x86 - and thus performance would be drastically reduced, but there are laptops out there running snapdragon processors and windows 10 right now.


Given some time and effort (and, who knows, in 5-10 years arm processors might be even more mainstream in windows laptops) NVDA, at least for ARM processors, could be a real possibility. Though, as Brian rightly points out, proper keyboard input etc would be a huge thing on Android. I don't know the differences in coding for windows on ARM on Windows vs. Android, and I suspect they are quite different, however windows running native ARM applications in the near future might translate to NVDA having a slow transition? Maybe just parts of the essential screen reader to make response times quicker? I'm actually curious if anyone on the mailing list has tried NVDA on one of these snapdragon laptops to see what performance is actually like.


This is probably super messy code wise, too, and would be a complete disaster. But x86, while proven reliable, has been around for decades. Some very interesting (and probably frustrating accessibility wise) times are ahead for us.


This blog post, while dramatic, really points out what I am trying to get at here.

Not sure what the point would be.

NVDA is a windows application, there's no advantage to porting it to IOS or Android, since those platforms already have screen readers, (IOS even has one built-in), what would be the usage case for making another one?

Android has multiple screen readers, so AI suppose another one there couldn't hurt, but it won't be NVDA, since porting a windows app to a linux environment isn't  really something that can be done easily, (or in some cases) at all, because of the way they work, and to be honest, NVDA falls into the second category.  To make a linux screen reader, you need to do things entirely differently than on a windows system.  Basically, it would be a matter of rewriting NVDA from scratch, and since there's already some very good screen readers for linux, Android and OSX, there's not much point to it.

Yes, it's a bit like NVDA, but in my opinion it doesn't work as smoothly.

It has improved significantly over the last few years and, I must say, I finally understood how Orca works when I started using NVDA in 2009...

It actually would be quite nice, though, and I'd be the first to grab it if it ever existed.
Considering how powerful NVDA can be on the Windows platform, if such power could be applied on a smartphone, it would be wonderful!
But unfortunately, I don't see it happening :(

Hello,


It doesn't.


when I tried it a few months ago, it looked very accessible at first glance, but then I discovered that, although I could read teh prices of all items, I couldn't read what the prices were for. In other words, it reads the prices, but not the products... Not very useful!


I meant to try Aliexpress, but never got around to do so.

Hi guys

 

Just to let you know the web site has come back on line it seemed it was a very series crash on there end. it may go up and down while they repopulate all the web sites on that server.

 

Hopefully nothing like this happens again for a very long long  ..... time again.

 

It is dated the 23rd of September so is the last update that was drop boxed to the list.

Hi

 

The website has been zipped you will need a program to unzip it. You can also do it with windows explorer but may be better to make a folder then put the files into it that is easy to find. Then it is a matter of just going to the index file with in the folder and pressing the enter key on it and use it like normal. As long as people have internet access they should be able to access audio files  etc.

 

There may be another tutorial been added on later this week so will update the link to the drop box account then.

 

I will let people know then.

 

The drop box link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/fh0ke305t6afduw/Accessibility%20Central%20Website.zip?dl=0

Hi guys

 

As you probably have noticed Accessibilitycentral.net has not be accessible and the following message comes up when you try to access one of the pages Website is temporarily down due to file system failure. Recovery is in progress, please check back later. Sorry for inconveniences

.

 

The people we host with were alerted when i first noticed it and it has to be fixed on there end. I do not know when it will be back up but hopefully it is ASAP.

 

I guess this is maybe what you get some times when you host with a free provider? with no adds and only have to pay for the domain name.

 

It sounds pretty serious like the server hard drive took a dive?

 

If any one wants to access the material on it at present I can zip it up and drop box it until it comes back on line.

This will only be the website files not the audio files as every one has access to the internet mostly.

 

You will then need to unzip it and put it into a folder with the files. Then it is a matter of just accessing the index file for the website.

 

I might again even look at other options for hosting.

 

Let us know and can drop box to the list.

Re: Zoomtext and nvda

Desert Moon
 

Hello Adrian,

 

Windows 7 does not offer full screen magnification. If this is what you need, do explore ZoomText 2019.You can download it from:

 

https://support.freedomscientific.com/Downloads/ZoomText

 

It runs in a 40-minute demo mode. Not portable. That version is sold in a USB stick.

 

Windows 10 offers some high contrast modes and colour filters. Unless you need a peculiar colour scheme, I do not see why you need ZoomText. When it comes to screen reading, NVDA gives you much more than ZoomText can.
