Virtual DJ and NPDA group
stancil tootle
I was told there was a Google group for users of virtual DJ and NVDA. I can’t seem to find it
Is there anyone familiar with that group and who know the name of it? Thanks |

You were talking about Chrome. And I'm not talking about running an
f7 spell checker. I'm talking about the flag words in the text
function of Chrome.

Re: Spelling / grammar checkers - I found one!
No, in the grammar checker for word, you must use alt down arrow to see the suggestions per the hint that is given. But per the regular spell checker yews contextual menu is correct.

Don't use alt down arrow. When you are on the word, open the context and down arrow. You will see many suggestions if the misspelled word is one where the spell checker believes they are useful. On 6/10/2022 9:35 AM, Sarah k Alawami wrote:

Re: Merging cells in Microsoft Word 365
Hello all. This topic will be locked after this post, as it has nothing to do with NVDA, but with Microsoft Word. It belongs in the Chat Subgroup or on the Microsoft Office Accessibility Discussion Group.
Note Well: I have the Easy Table Navigator NVDA add-on installed and active. NVDA must be in Focus Mode to allow individual cell selection. If NVDA is in Browse Mode full rows (and probably columns, but I didn't try that way) get selected when using the SHIFT + Arrow Key commands. As Sarah has noted, SHIFT + Arrow Key (any one of them, depending on your positioning in the table and where/what you want to select) can be used to select an individual cell or block of cells. If you have 4 cells selected in a given row in the middle of the table, using Shift + Down Arrow will select the same block in the row below while Shift + Up Arrow will select the same block in the row above. Merging cells requires only that you bring up the context menu and select the Merge Cells option (and hitting M 2 times after the context menu is up gets you there).

Re: Merging cells in Microsoft Word 365
Select them, then type merge in the action bar, and follow the prompts. This is how I’ve been now doing the merges for a few months now. Love it. You will select the rows as you do any word with shift plus right arrow.
Good luck and happy Friday. If you do not know how to get to the action bar hit alt q from the work sheet and then type what you want to do. Then down arrow to see the results.

Hello all, In the menubar, we can find an option to merge an entire row or an entire column. But suppose a row with six cells. How to merge the second, the third and the forth cells? I’mam using Windows 10, NVDA 2022.1 and Office 365. Best regards, Luciano de Souza |

Re: Spelling / grammar checkers - I found one!
Chrome has a spelling checker, however no grammar checker. Plus you have to hit alt down arrow for the word checker to give you only 1 correction which sucks. It is usable, yes, a bit of a PITA when you hear “3 errors on this line” and you cannot see what they are until you pass over them and have to hit alt down arrow.

That means the cell you are in is still under Edit mode. So, try Pressing “F2”and move to the next cell. And back , and try selecting. Also, try it after saving the work sheet.

When I press shift+right, being on the cell, I select the next characters, not the next cells. I’ve tried also ctrl+shift+right, but it failed too. In the menu, the merge option was unabled since not more then one cell is selected.

Hi, First select all the cells that you need to merge, using “Shift + Right Arrow” Then, on the menu, select and enter on the merge button. Hope this helps. Thanks, Ravi.

Re: Spelling / grammar checkers - I found one!
I think so yes. Is this already part of Firefox somehow? Cause when I pressed the application key with the misspelled word highlighted I don't see any menu items that lists suggestions.

On a lighter note. That plugin you talk about sounds fantastic, but can you imagine the trouble I’ll have when writing in Afrikaans.

Hi everyone,
Turning on my PC this morning, I got a suggestion from Microsoft to install their "Editor" plug-in. These suggestions come up now and then and I usually ignore them, but since it looked to be the kind of thing we've been talking about recently, I was intrigued.
I can confirm it does work! Essentially, it's a bit like grammarly - when you are typing in an edit field on the web (I used the Edge plugin but there is a Chrome one as well which I assume should work too, since both browsers are based on Chromium), it puts a red underline for spelling errors and a blue one for grammar - not dissimilar to Word. NVDA doesn't buzz at you for an error, but when navigating it tells you that you have an error on that line, and reads it when you get to it.
You can find it at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/microsoft-editor

Re: Spelling / grammar checkers - I found one!
Gene
Are you talking about the flag words as you type? That feature says
misspelled when you come to a misspelled word you have written.
This works the same way as the feature does in every program I've
used that has it. When you are on the word, open the context menu.
You will see suggestions by down arrowing. Press enter on the
suggestion you want to replace what is in the document. The menu
closes and the word is replaced.

Re: NV Speech Player

One more question,

Show quoted text
Is this a new synth developed by NV Access, or an open source synth, and would it be possible to add an American accent? This would be an interesting poll to see whether or not I'm in the majority, but I prefer synths that speak with the accent I'm most familiar with, and while I like how NV Speech Player's synth sounds, I'm having a hard time understanding its accent.
