"Recognition failed" whenever I try to use NVDA+R
Joshua Tubbs
Hi all, I've been starting to get this as of recently on a cloud PC. Would anybody know if this might be caused by maybe an Nvidia update, or something else? It worked for the longest time. Would recognition failed message be because the OCR engine isn't able to be ran? Thanks. |

Re: screen curtain and saving battery
Kareen
Thank you all for the replies. The touch pad toggle is working well even without the addon, the method provided here in the group before is working perfectly well.
Luke, thanks for sharing the ways. I tried the screen off bat file but it turns on the screen whenever i touch a button on the device so it is not the needed solution. Quentin, thank you for providing the info about the screen curtain, i should try and see if it makes any difference on my laptop. It seems for now that there is no software solution for making the display turn off unless the laptop manufacturer is including a shortcut for that. |

Re: my arrow keys stopped working in whatsapp web using firefox or chrome.

On another group I saw some comments about problems in the latest on line version of the interface. It may well be that they themselves have broken it.

I wonder if a different browser might work. I think its not so much arrow keys as the message list that is the problem. I gave up on them some time ago. They kept on changing it and even on the phone strange things happen for no apparent reason. Might be one to take to the chat sub group, unless somebody has a bright idea. Brian -- bglists@...

The new version seems to have fixed the memory warnings that occasionally spuriously affected the older ones, so be sure its the latest on whenever you get it. I would say though that there are some instances where copy and paste is allowed but it remains silent. This is because it does not always know that a third party program is able to use the clipboard, I would suspect. I'm thinking of audio editors and some edit areas in some programs in the main.

Re: Deezer

You might want to raise this as an issue in the issue tracker. It may well be that an app module is needed, so there are two routes to go. Somebody can write it as an add on or it can be in the body of nvda. Having never used the application you mention, I cannot really comment, but most users tend to use it on their phones, at least the ones I know.

In other words, a business accounting package. I currently use Zero, which is a web based accounting service, but its interface is clunky, and not always as accessible as it could or should be. I want very much to get away from it. Fifteen or so years ago I used SQL-Ledger for a while, but it had security and other issues (it was also web based, but you had to install and administer it on your own server). I switched briefly to LedgerSMB which was created as a replacement and to solve the problems of SQL-Ledger, but now seems defunct. I think I would prefer something standalone, although if there is a really good web based system I haven't tried that has a high degree of NVDA compatibility, I'd be open to it. Any pointers gratefully received. Luke |

Hi,
maybe this has been a topic here before, but I don't remember reading a solution: I have subscribed to the Deezer streaming service. I use the service mainly via my smartphone. But now I have also installed the Windows app. I have noticed the following phenomenon: When I started the Deezer app, it is practically unusable with NVDA. When moving with the tab key or the cursor keys, NVDA remains mute. If I then turn on Narrator, the items are read aloud by both Narrator and NVDA. Is this due to a setting in NVDA that the items are not spoken in the Deezer app? What settings are needed so that Nvda alone also reads the items aloud? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: Need help with Thunderbird and Mozilla Apps Enhancements

One thing about pop 3 is that at least in Outlook Express you can set up complex rules so email gets auto sorted into folders and you can even stop downloading email on complex rules or delete from server. In my case I tend to only show spam and inbox on the Imap of the same account, that way I simply fish it out of the spam shove it back in inbox and it gets redelivered and sorted in pop3.

Re: Please read before suggesting new add-ons or NVDA screen reader features: a contributor's assessment of 2022.1 and add-ons situation, open-source, anxiety, and burnout
Michael Curran
Hello Joseph and all,
Firstly, both personally and on behalf of NV Access, I'd like to thank Joseph for his dedication to the NVDA project for so many years. This includes core code contributions, maintaining add-ons from himself and the community, and general community support just to name a few things. His work also goes further than NVDA though. He has also made a positive impact on the accessibility of the Windows Operating System through tireless testing, bug reporting and evangelising to Microsoft. Thank you for playing a part in improving accessibility for blind and vision impaired people Joseph. However, burnout is definitely a very real and serious thing we must always watch out for. Self-care is very important. We can only help others if we help ourselves. I understand burnout all too well myself, having had to also step back from the project a little over the last year or so. Joseph, I hope that you can disconnect and find the space you need to recharge, allowing yourself to then continue on in the direction you feel is right. I don't wish to analyze or pull apart the content of Joseph's long message here on this list, as it covers many different points, many of which may be more suitable for addressing on lists such as nvda-addons or nvda-devel. But I do wish to address just a few things. NV Access most certainly appreciates feedback on the direction of the project, as NVDA has always been by users for users. However, we do ask that feedback be given thoughtfully, early on, and via the right communication mechanisms. The best way to communicate feedback to NV access is to send an email to info@..., and one of our staff will get back to you as soon as possible. Although community members are very vocal on public email lists which is great, It is impossible for NV access to read each and every post, especially in long email threads. We certainly encourage conversation in the community, but any questions or suggestions specifically for NV Access should come to us directly. Please be assured we are listening carefully to the conversations around our current NVDA add-on policies, and look forward to receiving further constructive feedback. We do acknowledge the real and valid pain points for users when upgrading NVDA and their add-ons become incompatible. We acknowledge the pain for add-on developers having to update their add-ons every year. But however we address this, it must be in a way that ensures NVDA's stability (incompatible add-ons should not break NVDA), and the ability to improve and innovate (NVDA must keep up with Windows and 3rd party updates). There are plenty of good ideas on how we can do this, and I'm sure we will have more to say on this in the very near future. For add-on developers and those who choose to test alpha snapshots: If you ever think we have broken something, or removed or deprecated an API an add-on depends upon, please let us know as early as possible by sending us an email or filing an issue. Although the changes to roles and states ended up being rolled back, we originally marked these APIs for deprecation more than a year ago, yet we only received direct and constructive feedback once we released 2022.1 beta1. Clearly there was a communication breakdown, and although NV Access reverted that change in the end, we obviously want to find ways to improve the communication mechanisms between NV Access and the addon developer community so we can avoid this in future. Finally, I would like to thank and acknowledge all the contributors to the NVDA project. Whether it be core code, documentation, testing, issue filing, translating, or financial support, it all goes to ensuring that blind and vision impaired people, no matter their language, location or economic status, can get free quality access to computers. More than 200,000 people rely upon NVDA at home, in education and in the workplace. Thank you for being a part of this effort. Mick Executive Director, NV Access Limited |

how to make nvda detect highlighted cells, columns and rows in google sheets
Ahmad Ismat
Hi ,
I received a google sheets document that have some columns and rows as well as cells highlighted (in color), not sure what color as I do not know the shortcut keyboard command to identify the type of color. Is there a way to enable nvda to detect these highlighted columns, rows and cells ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Best Wishes, Ahmad😊 |
