Are there any plans in the pipeline for developing an NVDA app for Android and IOS? Is it possible?
Right now, Talkback and Voiceover do support external keyboard, but it would be so much more convenient if there could be an NVDA application for mobile phones with similar commands as that of a PC. What do you guys think?

Many websites do present different content based on the browser they detect is 
visiting them.

Sometimes this is good (eg: for mobile devices, they get the mobile-optimised 
version), but sometimes it is bad.

I recommend contacting the admin of the website to tell them how this is 
interfering with usability.

Sometimes I simply use the down and up arrow keys to review a web page.  In many cases Icome accross lines on the web page that start by NVDA saying inserted followed by some useless info,  What does the term inserted mean in these cases?

Thanks

And he has kindly put the website's link in his message.  There shouldn't be any excuse as the info  is just a click away.

There is no real description of what this program is for.  So as not to waste peoples time with something they are not interested in.

I've never tried it, but  there is certainly an application dictionary add on so one can have bespoke words defined as spoken a certain way in an application. I've not seen it on the list, but it seems to work.

Subject: [nvda] Question about NVDA profiles and layouts

Hi folks,
So I have a question for you all, perhaps it has been asked here but if
so it was way before I joined this list so here it goes.
Is there any way to switch between the desktop and the laptop layout as
we switch between profiles created?
That is, suppose I have a profile created for a certain program and
there I configured to use the laptop keyboard, whereas out of this
profile my default layout is the desktop one.
When exiting that window of that program, would NVDA get back to the
default layout of my choice? Would it actually never change because
there isn't any way to do such a thing?
In case of it's the second option, don't you think it'd be interesting
trying to develop an add-on that would allow one to do that if so one wants?

I've seen it on the pc versions of unlv, some forusm, and some general
websites , so they do exist. It might not be a heading but it's obvious
what it is by looking at the page. It looks like a unix path

No its a term I see a lot on mobile web sites which seems to be a
basic trail back the way you came in, kind of like a ball of string
unwound as you move through a maze. I've not encountered it on pc web
sites but maybe its coming there as well. I am seeing more and more
tap here etc instead of click here though.

Subject: [nvda] bread crumb

Using win 7 with nvda and firefox.



Currently, well for the last two weeks, the CELA library here in
Canada has
been undergoin y a major makeover along with a bookshare merge.

Most of it seems pretty haywire; when I do a search I think I am
getting
just bookshare results. The CELA help people tell me they are
working on
it.

When I do a search, I am getting something I have never heard
before.
After I press the search button and press h for heading a couple of
times,
I hear;



"bread crumb navigation"



Is this a NVDA feature?

Thanks,

Monte

That would be nice however "I'm not sure how much coding that involves as the android platform is way different to the pc platform in terms of what it can and cannot except. I forgot what android os is coded in I think java (not java script) Plus I'm not sure how hard or easy it is to get api and other access that nvda would need.
