Hello,



I downloaded NVDA as a trial to see how it might work for my agency’s
consumers—When I changed the synthesized voice to one of the Truvoice
options, I got a dialogue box which says “Password required to use this
Truvoice text-to-speech engine.” Everytime I click the ok button, or
click the “x” in the top right of the dialogue, the box with the same
message just pops up again. I have now deleted and reinstalled NVDA
twice, and both times I reinstalled, it simply launched right into that
dialogue box. Does anybody know a way to get me out of this vicious loop?



Thanks

I see from the tickets that the current stable release if used on xp can crash some versions of Microsoft word.
Apparently the next snapshot is testing a fix for this problem
Thought I'd mention it as  I seemed to recall somebody here saying about this issue.

Hi Marvin,


The easiest way to switch from British to American English is as follows.


1. Press the hotkey insert + control + V (desktop configuration) or the laptop equivalent to bring up the voice listing for your synthesizer.

2. from the combobox that appears, use the arrow key to highlight the American English voice.

3. Tab once to the variant combo box and use the arrow keys to highlight the variant of your choice.

4. Tab to OK and press enter or space bar.


Remember to save your configuration via the NVDA menu unless it is configured to do so automatically upon exit.

Good evening list. When I updated nvda to the latest version, for some reason it switched to british English. I have a hearing problem, so I would like to know how to switch it back to American English if possible. Could not find it in the language list. Running windows 10 and the latest version of nvda. Any help would be appreciated.

Using

NVDA version 2016.1
Windows7 64-bit Home edition
Internet Explorer version 11
Amazon.com/access

When I get to that url

I can review the screen using the arrow keys
I can get a list of links using NVDAKey+F7

Problem

I cannot activate links or buttons

Question

Is the following a clue to the reason for my problem?

When I press NVDAKey+NumPad5, I hear

Amazon.com document read only focused

I don't understand why it is being identified as a, document, and; being
identified as, read only.

I'm guessing that "read only" probably has something to do with the reason why links and buttons are inoperable, however, I have changed several of NVDA's settings with no change in this behavior.

I have looked at various settings in I E 11 and found nothing I would suspect as being influencial in this situation.
BTW, jaws has no problems under these conditions and NVDA had no problems either, until recently.

What am I overlooking?


All helpful responses appreciated!

Bob

Thanks.

Thanks so much to both Gene and Quenton for pointing me to something soooo
obvious I guess I really by all accounts should've seen it myself! I did
know about this NVDA+SpaceBar toggle, but usually use the good old Enter and
Escape keys, to turn off and on Browse mode when I get to a form field, and
just totally forgot about the NVDA+space command. Thanks again for
answering so graciously and resisting the attempt to tell me what a goose I
was!
Hahaha. I will check and see if that replicates what Jaws+Zed does in jaws
land.

Thanks again.

Regards
Geoff C.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Newbie question, sorry :), Does NVDA have a manual
disable browse mode, Jaws+Zed, type feature?

NVDA+spacebar manually changes between browse mode and focus mode. Browse
mode is the normal web reading mode, you can press "h" to move to headings,
NVDA+f7 for the elements list dialog etc.

Focus mode is what you use when you're filling in a form - you don't have
access to the single key navigation like "h" for heading anymore but you can
type into form fields.

If you press NVDA+spacebar to get out of focus mode and back to browse mode,
it will stay in browse mode until you press NVDA+spacebar again to change
back (and vice-versa)

Does that do what you need?

Kind regards

Quentin.

Hello group :).

I've just joined, to enable me to ask a quick question up heere which I'm
hoping you guys can help me with.

Written in subject line really hahaha, basically wanna know if NVDA can
replicate what Jaws does with it's Jaws+Zed/zee key feature, where it's
virtual cursor/browse mode, is totally disabled? In situations where there
are no obvious controls to enable either auto or manual methods of swiching
off browse mode, exist.
I struck a special slider type control the other day at a website I was
testing, and couldn't interact with it at all with the keyboard, without
disabling NVDA first to do so, which is obviously not optimal! :).

Any hints/thoughts?

Thanks much.
