Quoting:

Alt + control + L : Start and end a voice call to the chat contact with the focus

So, does this keystroke also answer an incoming call as well?

And,

If I am already on a call, does it hang up the call too?

Hi, if you have the Whatsapp desktop add-on installed, you will be able to use the following hotkeys and shortcuts. Some of them are already found in Whatsapp desktop itself. I hope it help. Thanks.

Alt + Control + Enter : Move focus to the message you reply to.
Right arrow : Open context menu of message with focus
Right arrow : Open context menu of chat with focus
Alt + control + L : Start and end a voice call to the chat contact with the focus
Alt + control + V : Start and end a video call to the chat contact with the focus

Selection mode instructions:
To activate the selection mode open the context menu of the message with focus, either with control + M, or with the applications key.
Once the menu is opened, move with down arrows to the option select messages, which must be activate with enter.
Press Alt + right arrow to bring focus on list of messages.

Selection mode shortcuts:
• mark and unmark the message with focus: SPACEBAR.
• Verbalize the number of selected messages: S.
• Forward the selected messages: R.
• Delete the selected messages: Delete
• Highlight the selected messages: D. Cannot work
• Exit selection mode: Q.
Depending on the selected function, the corresponding window will be activated. The contact selection in the case of forwarding, the confirmation window in the case of message deletion, etc.

Tips:
• Instead of opening the emoji panel, you can search for emojis directly using the colon shortcut. When
you type the colon : followed by the emoji name, WhatsApp will show related emojis. All you need to do is press the Enter key to insert it. You can navigate
between the emojis using the arrow keys on your keyboard. For instance, if you want to add the mask emoji, type :mask. The results will start showing when you enter two characters at least.
• You can change the font, make your text bold or italic using the shortcuts.
1. Put text in asterisks to bold it. For instance, *hello*
2. Place underscore on both sides to italicize the text. For instance, _Guidingtech_
3. Use tilde on both ends to strikethrough your message. Example: ~GT~
4. To change the font, place three backticks on both sides of the text. Example: ```Hey```

Of course it seems to have many useful tips.

Only issue is that, if it has an English version or translation would have been more helpful.

But, here too the buttons are not labeled. And the other process are also not straight forward. Have to get things with a gamble.

That’s why I feel if someone could please record an send it to the WA Support am, they might do better to improve accessibility with this app.

Thanks again for sharing.

Hello Team,
Greetings!
NVDA accessibility with the What's App desktop application is very poor as at now.
As suggested by the NVDA Team earlier, I contacted the WA Support Team and they are very positive to improve on this area.
However, they requested me to send a video demo of the way it works in the desktop.
But, my several attempts to record the issues in short videos did not work. For some reason even videos of 7 minutes or 5 minutes could not be sent from my phone.
In the initial page, NVDA just says "Button" without the labels."
Also, opening any attachments, video or audio is not simple with a click.
Scrolling through the chat list is also a concern as at now.
There may be more.
Therefore, would someone here with technical expertise be able to do a video recording and send to the WA Support Team as the accessibility issues please?
Thank you, have a pleasant day!

Hello all,

For many days, I have been learning python and working on some python projects. 

--While writing python classes, functions, loops etc I am facing a problem that NVDA is not reading the indentation properly Eg If I have written :

        print()

so, I have to go and check it word by word.

So I want to ask if there is any addon available for solving this problem.

Best,

Krit Kedia

diving into the world of technology!

OK, I know this is off topic, but I will make two comments and say no more.
First, this is not a nvda problem, I get the same results with jaws.

Second. I created a shortcut that takes me to the "advanced search" in audible and this solved the problem.

Cheers.

Hi all,

Have any of you noticed normal navigation doesn't apply to the
Audible search box? They have made a change where the combo box
editable cannot be navigated to by c or e/f. You have to use tab, and browse mode won't work.
However it is possible to type into it.

I was running the 2021 version of NVDA and it was working . I decided to try the 2022 beta, It would not install. The music would start and stop. I then uninstalled the 2021 version and tried to install 2022 version again, still will not install. I then tried to go back to 2021 and it would not install. I also tried to run as administrator. This is on a Win11 computer. I have another Win 11 computer and NVDA 2022 installed with no problem. Any Idea what would prevent NVDA from installing.

The following 30 minute YouTube tutorial, How to access whatsapp in laptop or desktop using NVDA screen reader by Saagar SK, may prove helpful to you.  It dates from the end of 2021, so isn't very old.

The tutorial narration is not in English.  I am not "good enough" with the languages of India to say which one it actually is.  NVDA itself is announcing in English throughout.

Hello,

 

I am facing some issues with tables in Microsoft Word and NVDA. Following is the detailed explanation:

 

Issue Description

When UI automation is on, NVDA does not recognize tables in Microsoft Word, especially in browse mode. As a result, I cannot use Easy Table Navigator addon to navigate the table.

 

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Microsoft Word document which has tables.
2. Turn on NVDA with UI automation for Microsoft Word documents. One can set UI automation to anything except ‘Default’.
3. Try reading and navigating the table in Word in browse mode of NVDA.

 

Expected Result

NVDA should recognize tables in both focus as well as browse modes, and they should be navigable using Easy Table Navigator addon.

 

Actual Result

NVDA does not recognize tables in word documents when UI automation is turned on, especially in browse mode.

 

Testing Environment

OS: Windows 11 Home Edition

Office Version: Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise (latest version)

Screen reader: NVDA 2022.1 RC2

 

Remarks

The same issue can be reproduced with NVDA 2021.3 and later. I use UI automation as I need to read and write STEM content.

However, NVDA recognizes tables in the focus mode even when UI automation is turned on and set as ‘Always’ in case of 2022.1 RC2. But in that case, I am unable to use Easy Table Navigator addon to navigate the table, and it is very hard to use Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys for a long time.

 

With Best Regards,

Sanjog Kumawat
