I use letter, but have in the past tried word echo, but my brain has a problem processing it that way.

Yes, there are fillable forms that do not allow you to save them and the process there is to fill them out then print the filled-out result. They're less rare than you'd think. Every fillable form I've ever dealt with, be it PDF or MS-Word, just involves traversing the form fields (including checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.) using TAB to move from item to item and doing whatever is appropriate for the particular item to fill it out. A properly designed fillable form should announce the name/purpose of the item when you land in it and, if necessary, have associated help text if the name/purpose is not descriptive enough on its own. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 *The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly.* ~ Vance Packard |

Re: Using NVDA with Windows 11 IOT & RDP
Brian's Mail list account
There was an interesting demo of NVDA and the beta of Remote Incident Manager on last weeks Mosen at Large podcast. Sounded like the answer to many prayers, except the pricing when it comes out after the beta version. Just my view.

Actually one other thought occurs to me - when you say "a lot of small files", do you mean one at a time? If they finish copying within say a second, Windows won't display a progress bar and NVDA won't beep, it's just done. On Thu, Aug 4, 2022 at 10:43 AM Gene <gsasner@...> wrote:

It sounds as though the progress bar is not being shown when working
in File Explorer. I don't know why. Perhaps there is a setting
about showing the progress bar or where it is shown.

Re: No Beeps in Explorer Any More?

Hi Steve, How large is your folder? The beeps occur every percentage or so - I just copied a small folder (which took about ten seconds) and got the increasing beeps. When I went to copy a large folder, I got one beep every minute as it very slowly worked. I'm using NVDA 2022.3beta1 on Windows 11 (64-bit) Version: 21H2 (2009), Build: 22000.795 but I don't believe we've changed anything recently. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: make a donation
Quentin Christensen
If you use the donation options on our donation page - https://www.nvaccess.org/support-us/#donation-support - (as in, NOT the bank details), then as soon as you select any of those options, it takes you to PayPal. Any errors from that point onward are likely with PayPal. As others have said, if you can give more information about the exact error, we can still try to help troubleshoot with you. Kind regards Quentin. On Thu, Aug 4, 2022 at 7:32 AM Brian Vogel <britechguy@...> wrote: Not to mention that the method of donation is not mentioned.

Re: Question on switching language
Rui Fontes
By now, the only method almost 100% sure is based in the character set used... But, even this method have serious problems... How to differenciate between portuguese and english if both use the same character set? And the same for japanese and chinese, russian and polish and so on? Linguistic analysis can be usefull, but it is needed, at least, 4 or 5 words to determine, with some degree of confidence, which language is used... Remember that in almost two languages of the same character set is easy to find equal words, not always with the same meaning, but wroten exactly the same way... One example in english and portuguese is the word "use"...
I have already tried to set a system to determine the language used, but it is impossible without, at least, 4 or 5 words...

As I reported just the other day when a question came up about the availability of Japanese OneCore Voices, I had NVDA switch from English to Japanese in MS-Word where all I had done was type the first sentence in English and then pasted in the second someone else had written in Japanese. I don't know what it was that triggered the automatic language change, possibly the recognition of the character set change, but I did not use any language attributes when constructing the document. If someone wants to ensure language switching then they should make certain to set the language attribute appropriately, though. Leaving it up to chance is not the way to go. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard |

Yes.
NVDA + N, P, S [NVDA Main Menu, Preferences, Settings] In the Speech options (which are the ones which should open first by default) make sure the checkbox for Automatic Language Switching (where supported) is checked. Note the "(where supported)" proviso. Depending on what's being read and in what program it may or may not be supported. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard |
