Re: Spelling / grammar checkers - I found one!

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.

Locked Merging cells in Microsoft Word 365

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,

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.

Re: NV Speech Player

One more question,
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.

Yep. I’m using it now and love it sans it quirks. But over all, it works quite well. Give it a try.

Hmm No idea then.  I just use the Ubuntu or Debian prompt with wsl so I have not used that sorry.    NVDA seems to  work with all the Ubuntu, Debian, Powershell, and cmd.exe.  I wonder if some script needs to be updated.

Hi,

 

In Git Bash console, the key echo is not working. In a command prompt it is. It was working prior to 2022.1

 

I tried modifying in advanced settings the new setting for the console It did not seem to do anything.

 

Any thoughts?

Re: NVDA muted when on a call using VOIP

Chris Smart
 

Which audio device do you have NVDA set to use, and which device(s) do you have Teams set to use?

 

For instance, you might have one going to your computer’s speakers and the other using a USB headset or second sound card.

Does NVDA run on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise?

Mobeen Iqbal
 

Hello Everyone.

I'm hoping someone can help. I am working on a project which requires an IoT version of windows. The version they're thinking of going for is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. Does NVDA run on this version of windows? I am not talking about the core version of windows 10 IoT, I'm referring to the standard full version of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. I'm already aware that windows 10 core enterprise only includes support for WPF apps, so NVDA probably wouldn't run. Or am I wrong? Also whilst I'm writing. does windows 10 enterprise include support for the windows one core voices? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading,
Mo.

Have you considered Quick Books?

Hello

I am looking for some NVDA accessible double entry bookkeeping software. 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.

Welcome to the NVDA Community Add-ons website - MathCAT #nvdaaddonsfeed

Group Integration <nvda@...>
 

MathCAT

  • Author: Neil Soiffer
  • Download stable version
  • NVDA compatibility: 2018.1 or later (untested in earlier versions)

MathCAT is designed to eventually replace MathPlayer because MathPlayer is no longer supported. MathCAT generates speech and braille from MathML. The speech for math produced by MathCAT is enhanced with prosody so that it sounds more natural. The speech can be navigated in three modes using the same commands as MathPlayer. In addition, the navigation node is indicated on a braille display. Both Nemeth and UEB technical are supported.

MathCAT adds a settings menu to NVDA's preferences menu. In the settings menu, numerous options in MathCAT can be set to control the speech, navigation, and braille.

For full user documentation, please see the MathCAT User Documentation. For information on the MathCAT project in general, see the main MathCAT Documentation page.

Who should use MathCAT:

  • Those who need high quality Nemeth braille (MathPlayer's Nemeth is based on liblouis' Nemeth generation which has a number of significant bugs that are technically difficult to fix).
  • Those who need UEB technical braille
  • Those who want to try out the latest technology and are willing to help by reporting bugs
  • Those who use Eloquence as a voice

Who should NOT use MathCAT:

  • Anyone who uses MathPlayer with a non-English language (translations will be coming in the future)
  • Anyone who uses MathPlayer with a non-Nemeth/non-UEB braille output (contact me if you want to help out with a braille translation)
  • Anyone who uses MathPlayer to read Chemical Formulas (that will hopefully show up in the next non-bug release)
  • Anyone who prefers Access8Math to MathPlayer (for speech or other features)

MathCAT's rules for speech are not yet as extensive as MathPlayer's rules -- that may be another reason to stick with MathPlayer. MathCAT is being used as a testbed for ideas for MathML 4 that allow authors to express their intent so that ambiguous notations can be spoken correctly and not guessed at. I have held off on adding too many rules since the architecture of MathCAT is centered around using and inferring author intent and these are not fully settled yet.
