Hi all,

With NVDA, is there a way to detect that conditional formatting has been
applied to a cell and or column?

I need to do this because I am applying a series of rules to a column so
need to check that the rules have been applied.

When I navigate to a cell in that column and hit nvda key + f, I do not get
this information.

Rui, thanks much for the updated link and for doing the mod.  Let's hope the original gets an "official update" from its developer.

Do you mean to NVDA 2020.4?

NVDA has been able to do this natively, but not particularly easily if you're dealing with a lot of characters in succession.  But if it's a very occasional need, you may not even require the add-on.

As it happens, Rui Fontes posted a link to his own mod of this add-on to make it 2021.1 compatible during the alpha/beta period of 2021.1.  You should still contact the actual developer of the original add-on.

The message in which Rui gave the dropbox link to his mod is:  https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/message/84674

You are thinking of one of David CM's add-ons, EnhancedPhoneticReading.

His main GitHub page is:  https://github.com/davidacm and all of his add-ons can be found there.  His email address is:  dhf360@...

The last version of this was released in 2019, so it's not at all likely to be compatible with NVDA 2021.1, though it might be very, very easy for the developer to make it so.

I would contact him about this.

If you are able, record that voice when it typically occurs, and upload the resultant recording to a file sharing service so that those who wish to can actually listen to it.

There are lots of people who can recognize voice and synth that produces it with great ease, but you have to hear it first.

Prior versions of NVDA are available for download for quite a while after a given version goes out of support.

NVDA 2020.4 is downloadable using this link:  https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/releases/2020.4/nvda_2020.4.exe

You can substitute the respective release number in the URL above in the two positions where it occurs and you'll be able to snag another older version instead.

2 questions
1.-what’s the name of the addOn that when you put yourself on the letter with the arrows, after waiting a few seconds, it’ll tel you for example P Papa b bravo etc?
And 2.-Is this AddOn compatible yet with NVDA21.1? And if so I can’t seem to find it on the official AddOns page updated.

I will report back here if the issue reappears. It has gone away for now, i.e. I can no longer force the behavior.

First, thank you for such a fine report on your findings, how to force the issue you had, and how you've resolved it.

Please report back even if the issue does not reappear for a period of time where you're reasonably confident that "the fix has taken."  That's valuable information to have, too.  Also, if it should recur at some unspecified point in time in the future, please report that, too, as these things can often have multiple contributing factors.

It's [plain text] a clunky old format but I wish more emails and manuals existed in ASCII text because, while operating systems, computers and the objects they use to process everything come and go, plain text is the one common denominator.

The problem being that these texts are meant to be read by sighted humans, and plain text is just a horrible, horrible format for that purpose.

These electronic formats that allowed the reproduction of what had been in use for hundreds of years in printed materials came into existence because the primary purpose is ease of reading, including all the information carried by formatting, for the vast majority of readers, who happen to be sighted.  And the conventions used in print media came about because they allow a myriad of things to be communicated with ease using things such as table layouts, italics, different fonts and font sizes, and the list goes on and on and where the visual presentation itself is what aids this.

And, though I'll possibly be excoriated for making this observation, if you are writing anything beyond quick notes or emails or similar you simply have to write for a sighted audience as far as knowing how formatting works, at least if you want to operate in the world at large.  The sighted world is the primary target for written information.  The very medium itself was invented as a visual medium (even though Louis Braille did a brilliant transcription into a tactile medium, but there is a loss of certain meta-content embedded in the visual version when doing so for certain things).

These formats exist because they serve a very vital purpose.  It may not be one that serves you, personally, as an individual, but they still serve a vital purpose for a simply massive audience.

Every Vogel I've ever met, and including those with variants like Vogelsang, has used a long O and hard G (as in get).  The E is pretty much elided out entirely, as the transition from hard G to L is incredibly rapid.

The V is as in the English word victory.
