Excel: Braille Display Router Key Making it Hang
Pele West
Hi Everyone
I am using Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.1237, NVDA 2021.2, a Brailliant B64 braille display and MicroSoft Office 2016. Sometimes when I am editing in VBA if I press a cursor routing key Excel stops working. I have to close the program and open it again. Does anyone know why this is happening? It happened with the previous version of NVDA as well. It did not do this when I was using MSOffice 2010. Another thing with MSOffice 2016: when I press <Alt+F11> to open the VBA Editor, it will not work until I press <Alt+F4> to close it and open it again. Has anyone else had this experience? Thanks pele West

Re: NVDA can not read win10 command prompt window

Hi Dave I just opened command prompt, typed “dir c:\” and pressed enter. I then used the 7 key on the Numpad to work backwards through the displayed info. The 7,8,9 keys read previous , current, next line, 4,5,6 do the same by word and 1,2,3 by character. This worked irrespective of the “Dynamic content” setting.

Re: Microsoft teams with nvda
Sylvie Duchateau
Hello Gene and all,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I use Microsoft Teams every day at work. Accessibility has been taken into account but in my opinion, Teams is not always usable. First, there are many shortcuts that are really helpful. Calling people and participating in conferences is easy when you know the shortcuts to use the camera or the microphone, when you share your screen. It is easier to interact with calls when you set Teams to open conversations in a new window. But when you receive many messages in different teams and channels, I find it difficult to find where something new has happened, in opposition to Slack. Some things are rendered very well by NVDA: for example in a conversation, each message has a different heading. But when you get a new message I think it is not always very easy to find them: you often have to use the tab key to find it. The activity tab that you can reach with ctrl+1 should list all unread activities but I often can access to only one activity. Nevertheless, I find Teams easier to use with the desktop app than the browser interface. And as far as my personal point of view is concerned, I prefer using Zoom for conferences and Slack for chatting. I find them easier to use with a screen reader. Best Sylvie

I do not use it so can not comment. Are there others on the list who do and how well does it work with it. I did not see a add on for it so is one not required? unless I missed it on the website. I see there is one for zoom. I note there is a lot of shortcuts you can use with it so I guess nvda will work with it. any bugs to look out while using it or is it pretty good. I did come across this link and teams at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-microsoft-teams-47614fb0-a583-49f6-84da-6872223e74a0?ui=en-us&rs=en-ie&ad=ie <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-microsoft-teams-47614fb0-a583-49f6-84da-6872223e74a0?ui=en-us&rs=en-ie&ad=ie> Any help would be good to feed back.

Re: How do I Stop NVDA from saying Blank when I arrow down in a document or email
Steve Nutt
Hi,
I’m surprised there isn’t an implicit setting to turn off the reporting of blank lines globally. Most other screen readers tend to have this.

There is an issue for skipping blank lines in browse mode: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4904
As I noted in a comment to that issue: The main workaround I would suggest is to use say all (NVDA+down arrow or NVDA+a) to read things like messages in Outlook, which will skip blank lines. Another setting which can help particularly in Outlook is to supress reporting of tables. Press NVDA+control+d to open the document formatting settings, then alt+t until you get to "tables", uncheck that, and NVDA should read emails in Outlook a bit smoother.
Otherwise, if you can add anything else regarding use cases or implementation not already covered in the previous comments on that issue, do please comment on the issue itself.
Quentin.

Hi,
Although I'm not participating in this thread, I'd like you to hear a few words from me:
When I happen to come across a link that won't open after making 100 efforts to make it open, I then do the following:
I focus on the very link that won't budge, and then, I do the right mouse clicking, and then I open the link in a new window in Chrome. That's helped me several times. Make sure whether it is a link you wish to open. If it turns out to be a button, then this trick won't help.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Re: Making NVDA pronounce letters phonetically
Quentin Christensen
Hi Sameer, NVDA can give you phonetic pronunciation, but the execution is slightly different. If you press many NVDA keystrokes once, they will read the information, twice quickly spells it, and three times quickly spells it phonetically. For instance, if you press NVDA+up arrow (or NVDA+l if using laptop keyboard layout), NVDA will read the current line. If you press it twice quickly, it will spell the current line, and if you press it three times quickly it will spell it phonetically. For words, press numpad 5 or NVDA+control+dot For the current character, press numpad 2 or NVDA+dot (For those thinking ahead, yes they report the word or character at the review cursor, but anyone not already familiar with that probably isn't moving the review cursor independently of the caret too often). Quentin.

Making NVDA pronounce letters phonetically
Sameer Latey
Dear List Members,
In JAWS, if the user stays on a letter for 5 seconds, JAWS will speak the letter phonetically. For example, if the user stays on the letter G in the word God, JAWS will first read G & after 5 seconds, say Golf. Is there a similar setting or add-on in NVDA? -- Regards Sameer Latey

Do you have "report dynamic content changes" checked under preferences/settings/object presentation? You can also toggle this with NVDA-5 on the number row. I'm pretty sure if you don't have this turned on, the window doesn't read. I just checked, and that is indeed the case.

Re: How do I Stop NVDA from saying Blank when I arrow down in a document or email
hurrikennyandopo ...
I find it actually good when arr owing down a document or web page when editing it otherwise how would I know when to insert information into certain part of my website or stories that I am writing. It also lets me know if there are 2 many blank spaces of which I can simply just delete out if I do not want them.
If i do not want to hear it when reading when I go to review the document or web page I just use the say all command.

Re: How do I Stop NVDA from saying Blank when I arrow down in a document or email
Gene
It should be able to be done but is there a reason you don’t use read to
end in e-mails? Read to end doesn’t announce blank lines and starts
reading the text skipping all blank lines if there are any.
Also, what program are you using for e-mail and are you reading mail in
plain text or HTML?

What would really be ideal is an option in NVDA settings that would
