Semi-topical: a blog that does accessible Youtube videos?
John Isige
Hi all. I'm asking this here because, in terms of the accessibility, this does relate to NVDA, and other screen readers too. I use Firefox and Chrome but ideally I'd like this to work with everything.
I'm thinking of starting a blog, and especially at first, it will be a bunch of Youtube videos and possibly some playlists. I've got a blog on wordpress.com and Blogger too I think, but I can't remember what they do for this. Basically, I want a blog that either just posts links you can click on yourself, or where the embedded Youtube player is accessible. I've tried a couple before, maybe Blogger and Posterus when it was active, and I'm pretty sure for both of them the embedded videos started out being accessible, and then that went away. Like I mean for me anyway, the embedded flash thingies just stopped showing up in the posts, it was like "here's an example of a crashing motorcycle. OK next here's an example of a broken waffle iron". I know Wordpress has some accessibility stuff, well I hear it does, but I can never keep track of whether or not any of that is for wordpress.com or if I have to try to run my own copy of Wordpress, which I'd really like to avoid if at all possible. I mean, I'll do it if I have to, I've done it before quite a few years ago, but I'd really rather not. In fact ideally, I know you can do this with wordpress.com anyway, I'd like to just be able to email my posts in and then possibly log in and manipulate tags and such if I have to, and just have the videos show up as working things. I prefer wordpress.com to Blogger, but honestly I haven't messed with either blog in quite a while. But I've got an interesting idea now, well I think it's interesting anyway even if nobody else probably does, so if there are settings I can go mess with in there, that would be great. Oh speaking of wordpress.com, is there an accessible theme? Right now the one I have keeps trying to scroll new posts in and it makes everything crazy slow and practically unusable. I'd really like something with X posts per page and page links, if it's there. If there's a FAQ or such that answers all of my questions, I'll happily do my own reading, just point me in the right direction. I just have no idea what to search for, on either question, so I thought I'd ask here because somebody probably knows. |

Re: NVDA’s compatibility with the Braille Me Braille display from NBP?
Christo de Klerk
Is the Braille Me from NBP that you are referring to the same as the Braille Me from Innovision in India? If so, then yes, they have created an add-on for it which makes it work very well with NVDA.

About the Latest NVDA and emojis
Hello there,
I just updated NVDA to the latest version and I noticed that now it's possible to read emojis without any addon. But my question is, it's possible to disable this mode of reading emojis? I mean, is there a setting to do it? Thanks in advance, Marcio |

StationPlaylist Studio add-on 18.09.1 released, the next release to lock update channel to LTS
#addonrelease
Hi all,
Earlier today StationPlaylist Studio add-on 18.09.1 was released. This build fixes an issue discovered while testing the development snapshots where creating an HTML table transcript of playlist data would result in column header text showing up as a Python list string. As always, the new version is just an update check away (standalone via the add-on or through Add-on Updater).
An important notice about the next 18.09.x release: the next version after 18.09.1 is special in that it’ll be the first true long-term support version. This means, going forward, those subscribed to long-term support channel will receive 18.09.x LTS releases. If you’d like to stay on stable channel, please do NOT install that release, which will hit the air within 48 hours after release of NVDA 2018.3 final.
Thanks. Cheers, Joseph |

Re: Windows OCR update in nvda
Quentin Christensen
Hi Robert, In Windows 10, navigate to the graphic with the text, then press NVDA+r (the NVDA key will be either INSERT or CAPS LOCK, depending on your settings). NVDA should report that it is recognizing, and then "done". Once done is announced, you can use the regular navigation and reading keys to read the text, as you would other text on the page. When done, press escape to return to the web page. For anyone reading this using Windows 7 or 8, it's very similar using the add-on, press NVDA+r but then you use the text review commands rather than regular navigation. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Windows OCR update in nvda
Quentin Christensen
Hi Robert, As Brian noted, NVDA uses Microsoft's built-in OCR in Windows 10 (which is why it is only built-in on Windows 10 and you need the add-on for earlier Windows versions). Microsoft are evolving Windows 10 with their regular updates, and presumably this also involves improving the OCR. In the meantime, have you got an example image or link which isn't working for you? Kind regards Quentin. On Sat, Sep 8, 2018 at 6:38 PM, Brian's Mail list account via Groups.Io <bglists@...> wrote: Inwindows 10 though this is all down to Microsofts cloud OCR.

Re: Braille command for continuous read with NVDA.
Quentin Christensen
Hi Kim, The keystroke to read from the current point onwards is either NVDA+down arrow, if using desktop keyboard layout, or NVDA+a if using laptop keybpard layout. The NVDA key is either INSERT or CAPS LOCK depending on your setup. Basically desktop keyboard layout assumes you have a number pad, and uses that for a number of commands, particularly object navigation and the review cursor. Laptop layout assumes you don't have a number pad and reassigns those keystrokes, in the process moving some other keystrokes around. Press NVDA+control+k to open the keybpard settings page where you can change your NVDA key and / or your NVDA keyboard layout. And as Jason answered, you can get to the full list of keyboard commands from NVDA"s help menu (NVDA+n, then h, then arrow through the options). The "Commands Quick Reference" document is basically all the keystrokes pulled from the User Guide. You might also be interested in the "Basic Training for NVDA" module, which walks through many of the features of NVDA, but in more detail than the User Guide, and with step-by-step, practical activities to complete to help you cement your knowledge of each: http://www.nvaccess.org/shop/ Kind regards Quentin.

Re: NVDA and Searching in Outlook 2016
This is the chunk on Outlook (and I did it using Outlook 2010 when I wrote it up, but I don't believe much has changed in 2013 and 2016) I wrote up when working with a client several years ago and that forms a segment I use to create personalized "shortcut sheets" for clients now:
---------------------- Microsoft Outlook
To Delete a Message that you’ve just finished reading: Hit ALT+H,D when you’re in the reading window and it will delete the message and throw you back to your inbox.
To Delete a Message in your inbox without opening it to read it: When JAWS starts reading the e-mail header and subject in the list from the inbox just hit delete if you want to delete that message. It will be deleted and you will be thrown on to the next message in the inbox.
Two Methods for Using Advanced Search features to find specific e-mail messages, step-by-step: Method 1 1. Navigate to the folder in Outlook that you wish to search for specific messages, e.g., inbox, sent, etc. Make sure you’re in that folder for the correct e-mail account you wish to search, too. 2. Hit CTRL+SHIFT+F to bring up the Advanced Search Dialog box. This dialog box has three separate tabs associated with it: Message, More Choices, and Advanced. The Message tab is what’s showing when the dialog opens. You can shift between dialog box tabs by hitting CTRL+TAB at any time. 3. Message Tab has the following fields and dropdown/combo boxes, in the order that follows. You need only enter information related to what you are actually trying to search for, leave the others blank: a. Search for the word(s): Combo box where you enter the word(s) you’re trying to find. It searches for those words based upon the choice from the dropdown box described in item ‘b’ that comes next. b. In: Dropdown with three choices: subject field only | subject field and message body | frequently-used text fields. c. From… Button – Used only if you wish to choose who the message is from using your Contacts. If you do not have Contacts or the sender is not in your Contacts, then go to item ‘d’, the edit box for “From” searching. d. From Edit Box Enter all or part of the sender’s name or e-mail address that the message you’re looking for came from. e. Sent To… Button – Used only if you wish to choose who the message was sent to using your Contacts. If you do not have Contacts or the person you sent to is not in your Contacts, then go to item ‘f’, the edit box for “Sent to” searching. f. Sent to Edit Box Enter all or part of the recipient’s name or e-mail address that the message you’re looking for was sent to. g. Where I am checkbox. If checked, gives you access to item ‘h’, the “Where I am” dropdown box. h. Where I am dropdown box. Three choices: the only person on the To line | on the To line with other people | on the CC line with other people. i. Time dropdown box, used in conjunction with item ‘j’, time criterion dropdown. Has six choices regarding what time you want to search on: none (default) | received | sent | due | expires | created | modified. Some of these choices are related to tasks or appointments, not e-mail messages. j. Time criterion dropdown: Seven choices for e-mail related searches: Anytime | Yesterday | Today | in the last 7 days | Last Week | This Week | Last Month. 4. More Choices Tab has the following items in the following order: a. Categories. . . button and Categories combo box pair. Allows you to choose a category from your predefined list if you use categories. b. Only items that are checkbox and dropdown box pair. If you check the checkbox, you can choose from the following two choices in the dropdown box: unread (default) | read. c. Only items with checkbox and dropdown box pair. If you check the checkbox, you can choose from the following two choices in the dropdown box: one or more attachments (default) | no attachments. d. Whose importance is checkbox and dropdown box pair. If you check the checkbox, you can choose from the following three choices in the dropdown box: normal (default) | high | low. e. Only items which checkbox and dropdown box pair. If you check the checkbox, you can choose from the following four choices in the dropdown box: are flagged by me (default) | are marked completed | are flagged by someone else | have no flag. f. Match case checkbox. Makes search on words case sensitive. g. Size (kilobytes) dropdown box and low and high size numbers triad. Default is “doesn’t matter” and if that’s left alone you have no access to the low and high size numbers. Other choices allow you to specify the smallest (low) and largest (high) size you wish to search for, as appropriate for the choice. Those choices are: equals (approximately) | between | less than | greater than. 5. Advanced Tab – so seldom used I will not discuss it here. 6. Hit either Enter, or ALT+N to perform the search based on the various criteria you have entered in the dialog. If results are returned, hit F6 to go to the list of found messages. Method 2 1. Navigate to the folder in Outlook that you wish to search for specific messages, e.g., inbox, sent, etc. Make sure you’re in that folder for the correct e-mail account you wish to search, too. 2. Hit CTRL+E to get yourself in to the search edit box 3. Type in the following search operators, in whatever combination is appropriate to narrow down the messages returned to as few as possible, but without eliminating messages you might want: a. to: – Enter a partial or full name or e-mail address between the parenthesis. For example, to:britechguy, would return only messages sent to a person with “britechguy” as part of their e-mail address. b. from: – Same as to:, but looks at who the e-mail was from instead. c. hasattachments:yes|no – If you enter “yes” after the hasattachments: operator only messages that have attachments will be returned. If you enter “no” then only messages without attachments will be returned. d. subject: – Enter a keyword or several keywords that will be searched for in the Subject of the e-mail. Only those messages with the keyword(s) in the subject will be returned. e. received: - Used to filter messages based on when you received them. Immediately after the colon on the received: operator you will enter one of the following words or two-word phrases i. today ii. yesterday iii. this week iv. last week v. this month vi. last month vii. this year viii. last year See the Microsoft Support page entitled, Learn to narrow your search criteria for better searches in Outlook, for more details regarding Outlook Search Operators you can use. ---------------------- -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 The psychology of adultery has been falsified by conventional morals, which assume, in monogamous countries, that attraction to one person cannot co-exist with a serious affection for another.
