What synthesizer are you using? This has a direct impact on what voices will or will not be presented.

Hi
Where Joseph refers to is check under the input gestures section of nvda.
When you get there press the enter key then go to tools then screen curtain and asign a key.
I missed that one 2 in the latest update of the add on of where to assign a key. . I was looking either under tools menu under the preferences section there is a menu there for screen curtain and when checked is on and unchecked is off. I went with the short cut when it was done. You will need the latest version of screen curtain.
I did not realize it either there is also a gesture where you can open the add on manager quickly with a gesture in that section.

I’m delighted to announce the immediate release of updates to Add-on Updater and Screen Curtain. Note that these add-ons are proof of concept (prototype) add-ons and should be used to provide feedback to people developing these feature in NVDA Core:
In case of Add-on Updater, today’s build includes work from checkable list (NVDA issue 7491), thus serving as a field test of that issue. If you have any comments on checkable list, please send them to Leonard.

installing nvda on new laptop
Don H
trying to install NVDA on a new laptop I purchased for my wife. After installing it and going into the speech settings I only have the one core voices to choose from. Why aren't any other options showing up? After the line that shows the one core voice there is a change button but if I press that the NVDA UI closes and I am back to the desktop.
Running latest version of Win 10 on this HP Envy 13z laptop. It is running AMD processor and graphics if that makes any difference. Thanks

Re: how to filter brailleoutput
Gene
How many people use Braille in combination with
speech and in what combinations? If you don't use speech to any extent,
this wouldn't pose a problem. If you use speechenough to change how words
are pronounced, than any change in the speech dictionary would change Braille
output. If you change the pronunciation of a word, it will be spelled
incorrectly in Braille.
And Braille users may use a machine with speech
users as well.
Therefore, a separate dictionary should be made
available for Braille users that will only effect Braille if that is
possible.

One thing that has reached my ears from several people using, particularly laptops using relate sound hardware is that the hardware goes to sleep after a few seconds of no sound, probably due to some driver feature, and these means it seems there is a latency when new audio or speech is played even after a few seconds. Obviously not being a 10 user I cannot tell.

One luminary, who lives in New Zealand has called the current state of Windows 10 audio 'a dogs dinner' compared to windows 7. I will say no more! Maybe Microsoft need to check drivers more thoroughly before approving them. The person concerned returned a Surface series laptop due to this issue, but more recently others have mentioned it.

Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes - they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are classed as "luxury items" and are subject to VAT. McVitie's classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991 this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise in court. The question which had to be answered was what criteria should be used to class something as a cake or a biscuit. McVitie's defended the classification of Jaffa Cakes as a cake by arguing that cakes go hard when stale, whereas biscuits go soft. It was demonstrated that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale and McVitie's won the case. Please reply to the list; please *don't* CC me.

Re: Add-on Updater: patch release candidate for update checking and key error problem
Brian's Mail list account
Hi Joseph, it seems that the computer issue that
made my machine unbootable was nvda trying to do an update while it was trying
to tell me about an add on update. Can add on updates be made
manual?
Quite what actually happened is hard to say, but
nvda did a restart and when it tried to it locked up the keyboard.
So the only recourse was to use the button
but this time instead of waiting a few seconds and booting into either
safe mode or the normal boot it got stuck before this and somebody had to go
into the bios and tell it to reboot manually.
We have since proved this to be the issue twice, so
on my installed copy, which is now reinstalled Add on updater has been removed
and also I had to manually remove it from the folder in app data/nvda as well as
we kept on getting an error as it said it had a pending update but of
course it had not add on updater so it got into a bit of a spin and completely
scrambled nvdas keyboard input for no good reason I can deduce. Using the mouse
my friend got my portable copy running instead then I went in and
manually deleted the pending add on updater update and so far, fingers crossed
no crashes of nvda with dead keyboard.
Whether this is a specific windows 7
issue or a mismatch with another add on is not really clear, but I'll keep the
add on updater in my portable copy and see if that fixes the issue. I
suspect 9 times out of ten, a button shutdown of windows will in fact work but
now and again, not. somebody needs to invent a talking bios!

Hi Joseph
I also grabbed the latest add on for screen curtain i could not find out where the toogle is to turn the curtain on and off and to check for any thing else to do with it.
It looks as though if say you know your add ons have been updated then a little after say go to check again it keeps on telling you to wait like it is going in a loop. If there are add ons there they come down pretty quick. Since there is no cancel button i had to restart nvda this was after say 10 minutes or so of it looking for updates. I am sure i have read if there is no updates it tells you but may be wrong.
