Hi all. Well today I loaded nvda and went to check for updates on addons. I do this every so often. I have yesterday's updates and yesterday it all worked. On both addon updator and nvda update check I got messages and an error ding about not being able to check. The log listed a load of errors and exceptions. I then dialed up the right pages on the main sites for nvda and the nvda addons site but didn't download anything. I figgure if this is happening in both instances there is probably some sort of outage as it all worked yesterday even with latest updates and its effecting all nvda update checking. So is there a server outage or something broken on the server?

When you open the dialog, if you shift tab once, you will be in a filter by
field. Type the item you are looking for, then tab back to the list.

Re: must have NVDA add-ons
True.

As a general rule, for windows 10, its windows essentials, and addon updater. However thats about all I have on the systems I work with. I mean I have the emote and symbols stuff just in case and the rest is well for the user. I'd actually prefer on systems to not have any addons at all especially the ones I don't use often, but windows 10 and up needs essentials and therefore updater. But yeah its really user dependant.

Re: speaking punctuation

I don't recall us changing that, so I'm not sure what has happened for you. In any case, I can definitely help with changing an individual item's punctuation level. In fact, we covered it in our In-Process blog earlier this year: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-30th-april-2021/#SymbolPronunciation Basically you want to open the "Punctuation / Symbol pronunciation" dialog, select your symbol, and change it's level (full steps in the linked article). Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Downloading from Vocalizer Tiflotecnia and Automatic Language change
Rui Fontes
Hello!
1 - Here is the text explaining how to procede... To install the driver and the desired voices, perform the
following steps: 2 - But, pay atention that is the old version and that one only switch languages by indication of NVDA!
3 - The version available at https://vocalizer-nvda.com can also switch language based in the group of Unicode characters present... So, even if the web page do not identify the language, if the text is writen with greek characters, Vocalizer will switch to greek if the voice is installed.
The download page is at: https://vocalizer-nvda.com/downloads unfortunately, now is only in portuguese...

I went back two versions and less than is spoken using some punctuation and
so is greater than. Do you know how to change the level if you don’t want
them spoken at that level?

Re: must have NVDA add-ons
Shaun,
Your post is the perfect example of what I said earlier, and that is, what's a "must have" is very often entirely dependent on what you need to do, where, and with what computer(s). It's still good to see what various folks are using, with brief descriptions of why. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Re: Downloading from Vocalizer Tiflotecnia and Automatic Language change

The download ;page, near the top, describes how to install the synthesizer
add-on and the voices. They are all installed as add-ons according to the
page. Where you save them doesn’t matter, just as it doesn’t matter where
you ssave and store any exe files or add-ons you want to run.
While I expect you are on the correct page, here is the link to avoid
any possible confusion:
The instructions begin a few lines from the top of the
page.

Subject: [nvda] Downloading from Vocalizer Tiflotecnia and Automatic
Language change Hi
Group, I have two questions and I would appreciate your comments. 1. As it is said that Vocalizer Tiflotecnia for NVDA has automatic language change I tried to download voices that I need, but I am not sure where to save them when it gives me the option to open or save. 1. eSpeak sometimes performs automatic language change but incorectly. For instance when I have Turkish text it reads it as Spanish. Also when I read Greek text on a website it reads the letters one at a time, but not as words or sentences. When I copy the text and paste it into a Word document it reads it as it should.

Re: must have NVDA add-ons
Well Firstly addon updater. Thats needed for the addons. The windows essentials is also good to. Next is the addons documentation if you need easy access to it. I also have addon unpacker but thats just so I can make my own for my own use if I need to modify things. I have interactive fiction interpretors which is only good if you play text games.
calibre, goldwave, etc. Dropbox, easy table, again most of these probably are not needed. The emoticons may be need as well as report simbols but depends. Golden curser maybe. zoom, vlc, skype, teamtalk. timezoner and toolbars explorer. Out of those, I could slim that down to vlc, winamp, zoom, windows app essentials etc. On systems I don't use bar for admin addon updater, and windows essentials, report symbols and emoticons are all I have.
