Re: Translating NVDA into Te Reo Māori option
It's a beautiful language... Very intriguing.
I'm a linguist, and any language that is different from the usual ones intrigues me.
If it were my decision, I'd definitely say "Go for it"! But I realise there's going to be a lot of hard work involved; time and effort... So I can't say anything, but I hope it'll be done in the end.
Ciao,
Ollie

I also said if it used sapi 4 or 5 voices etc and could be installed into windows it would be able to be used by other screen readers as well depending how they go about it.
He will either look into funding as well say either for a synth to be made for there language or translating the interface into there language. Or he might do the translating him self as he writes and speakes it as well.
it might be some thing the government might fund so it can be done? We will see what happens.

Re: Question about reading an entire line with NVDA
Yep Quentin, about this command I already knew for a while now :)
Quite useful if you are reading a long text or even a book and you
have the time to read the said one without being interrupted for
some reason.
Thanks for your support. You guys are the best and as I'm used to
say, NVDA rocks all the way! :)

No thank you :) It's good to get the background.
Of course the other command you can use if you just want to hear
everything in the whole document is to press NVDA+down arrow or
in laptop keyboard layout NVDA+a, which reads all from the
current point onward. (So to read from the top, press
control+home to move to the top then NVDA+down arrow / NVDA+a).
You likely already knew that, but I don't like to assume,
just in case :)
Quentin.
Hi Quentin,
Actually, the story is like that:
Quite a while ago I noticed that somehow, sometimes my
keyboard could press some unknown (at least until yesterday)
key and then NVDA would read an entire line (or paragraph,
like it seems to be called) without actually breaking it.
You know, when a line is bigger than NVDA can handle at
once, then that thing of having to press down arrow to keep
reading.
Always wondered which key would be this one that would give
me heaven and hell at the same time since sometimes this was
a really wanted behavior so that I could read something
faster and on another ones I just wanted NVDA (or my
keyboard) to leave me alone without forcing me to read an
entire line (paragraph) at once.
As yesterday I had more than enough free time to test it I
kept pressing key by key plus the down arrow to find out
which combination would give me the forementioned behavior.
So, this is the whole story for when and how I found it out.
Then I was just curious because after finding this combo I
looked through all the places I could think of to see if I
could find the description of this command, but of course I
didn't find anything since it isn't an NVDA- specific thing.
I haven't tried it on Notepad thus far though, so there's
another thing I never knew - that it couldn't be used there.
Well that's it :)
I know this is way way longer than I'm used to write but
since you wanted to hear a bit more from this funny story I
just took the liberty of letting my fingers type all of
this.
Em
27/03/2019 07:38, Quentin Christensen disse:
That's ok Marcio,
Though I am still curious which lines you couldn't
read fully with one command before you found this
keystroke?
Quentin.
Hi Quentin,
Actually, I'm not having any problem. I just found
this option (read by paragraph) and never knew it
was a Windows one.
Sorry for causing worries unnecessarily. I was just
curious :)
Em
26/03/2019 21:12, Quentin Christensen disse:
As noted, CONTROL+DOWN ARROW is a
Windows command, and in most places it moves
down by one paragraph. Additionally, as you
move, NVDA reads a corresponding amount of
text - if you move by one word (control+right
arrow, also a Windows command), NVDA reads one
word, if you move down by one line, NVDA reads
one line, etc.
My question to Marcio is to ask what
program / kind of file are you reading where
you are having trouble reading by line to
begin with? Pressing NVDA+up arrow (or in
laptop layout, NVDA+l) should read the
current line. On web pages, it's harder to
find out exactly what text is visually on
one line, so NVDA sets the maximum line
length, and if a block of text is longer
than that, it assumes each N characters is a
new "line". You can find the option in
NVDA's browse mode settings - NVDA+control+b
will get you there directly.
There is also an option in Browse mode
settings "Use screen layout (when
supported)". I've just copied from the user
guide here:
"Use screen layout
Key: NVDA+v
This option allows you to specify
whether content in browse mode should
place content such as links and other
fields on their own line, or if it should
keep them in the flow of text as it is
visually shown. If the option is enabled
then things will stay as they are visually
shown, but if it is disabled then fields
will be placed on their own line."
Hi Marcio
That were keystrokes from Windows, not
from NVDA, so I thikn it doesn not
explained in NVDA user guide or key
command. It should be found in matireals
about basic computer skill.

Hey guys, I'm here again :)
This time the question is about...
well you saw it on the subject I
suppose :)
So, the thing is: I found out that
pressing CTRL along with the down
arrow, NVDA will read the entire line
from a text, regardless if that line
is broken for some reason.
However, while I just found it out, I
also found out that apparently, this
option isn't described on the NVDA's
keystrokes refference.
So my question: is it actually
something expected, that pressing
CTRL+down arrow NVDA will read the
entire line? If so, why isn't it
described as an option?
Or, well, what would I be missing? Can
anyone point me on the right
direction? :)

Re: Question about reading an entire line with NVDA
No thank you :) It's good to get the background. Of course the other command you can use if you just want to hear everything in the whole document is to press NVDA+down arrow or in laptop keyboard layout NVDA+a, which reads all from the current point onward. (So to read from the top, press control+home to move to the top then NVDA+down arrow / NVDA+a).
You likely already knew that, but I don't like to assume, just in case :)

Hi Quentin,
Actually, the story is like that:
Quite a while ago I noticed that somehow, sometimes my keyboard
could press some unknown (at least until yesterday) key and then
NVDA would read an entire line (or paragraph, like it seems to be
called) without actually breaking it.
You know, when a line is bigger than NVDA can handle at once, then
that thing of having to press down arrow to keep reading.
Always wondered which key would be this one that would give me
heaven and hell at the same time since sometimes this was a really
wanted behavior so that I could read something faster and on another
ones I just wanted NVDA (or my keyboard) to leave me alone without
forcing me to read an entire line (paragraph) at once.
As yesterday I had more than enough free time to test it I kept
pressing key by key plus the down arrow to find out which
combination would give me the forementioned behavior.
So, this is the whole story for when and how I found it out.
Then I was just curious because after finding this combo I looked
through all the places I could think of to see if I could find the
description of this command, but of course I didn't find anything
since it isn't an NVDA- specific thing.
I haven't tried it on Notepad thus far though, so there's another
thing I never knew - that it couldn't be used there.
Well that's it :)
I know this is way way longer than I'm used to write but since you
wanted to hear a bit more from this funny story I just took the
liberty of letting my fingers type all of this.

Hi Quentin,
Actually, I'm not having any problem. I just found this

As noted, CONTROL+DOWN ARROW is a Windows
command, and in most places it moves down by one
paragraph. Additionally, as you move, NVDA reads a
corresponding amount of text - if you move by one word
(control+right arrow, also a Windows command), NVDA
reads one word, if you move down by one line, NVDA
reads one line, etc.
My question to Marcio is to ask what program /
kind of file are you reading where you are having
trouble reading by line to begin with? Pressing
NVDA+up arrow (or in laptop layout, NVDA+l) should
read the current line. On web pages, it's harder to
find out exactly what text is visually on one line,
so NVDA sets the maximum line length, and if a block
of text is longer than that, it assumes each N
characters is a new "line". You can find the option
in NVDA's browse mode settings - NVDA+control+b will
get you there directly.
There is also an option in Browse mode settings
"Use screen layout (when supported)". I've just
copied from the user guide here:
"Use screen layout
Key: NVDA+v
This option allows you to specify whether
content in browse mode should place content such
as links and other fields on their own line, or if
it should keep them in the flow of text as it is
visually shown. If the option is enabled then
things will stay as they are visually shown, but
if it is disabled then fields will be placed on
their own line."
Hi Marcio
That were keystrokes from Windows, not from NVDA,
so I thikn it doesn not explained in NVDA user
guide or key command. It should be found in
matireals about basic computer skill.

So, the thing is: I found out that pressing

I haven't updated JAWS for a long time because I
almost never use it. The demo didn't time out after a certain number of
days' use for most of the history of JAWS. I don't know if that has
changed in more recent versions, though I doubt it. I think that, on the
many lists I follow, I would have seen this discussed. But I expect others will definitely know because they are using the
current one.

I don't know what is causing the problem. You
can run NVDA with no add-ons running in the following way:
Use NVDA key q to bring up the exit NVDA
dialog. Down arrow until you get to something like restart with no
add-ons. Press enter. NVDA will restart with no
add-ons.
To run NVDA with add-ons again, exit NVDA in the
usual way, NVDA key q, then enter. then run it again. It is now
running as it usually does, with add-ons running again.
If hanging doesn't occur when you run Chrome with no
add-ons, then one of the add-ons is causing the problem. If it still
crashes, add-ons are not the problem.

For example, awhile ago, System Access to Go read

If you use add-ons, try running NVDA with no add-ons running and see if Chrome runs.
If you don't know how to run NVDA with no add-ons running, you do so in the shut down dialog of NVDA, ask here.

Hi everyone,
Apologies for the slight delay in the announcement, and I see several of you have already posted about it, but yes, NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2019.1 of NVDA, the free screen reader for Microsoft Windows, has now been released.
Highlights of this release include performance improvements when accessing both Microsoft word and Excel, stability and security improvements such as support for add-ons with version compatibility information, and many other bug fixes.
In the release announcement at https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2019-1-now-available/ there is also important information about add-on compatibility. Note that although the framework for having add-ons report versions compatibility is there, and we encourage all add-on developers to update their add-ons to include this if they haven't already - This version of NVDA will however still allow installing and loading of add-ons that do not yet contain Minimum and Last Tested NVDA version information at all, but upgrading to future versions of NVDA (E.g. 2019.2) may automatically cause these older add-ons to be disabled.
Kind regards
Quentin.

Re: NVDA 2019.1 available
hi quentin and thanks so much for your assistance. the website that you mentioned: http://www.blockediniran.com/does not work in Iran at all and i cant open it. i really dont understand is it possible really that your website is blocked in iran? i believe that all iranian blind users, have nvda on there computers, even if they use other screen readers like jaws. no, its not related to wordpress, because numerus websites in iran are based on wordpress. but i thought its a temporary problem for your website and its resolved very soon, or temporary problem in Iran, because i have such issues even with iranian websites. whats the solution that we can access your website in iran without any issues? first, i thought that like github, your website also does not support older versions of firefox, so, i asked my friend to check for me whether she can opens your website or not, with the latest version of firefox! and she confirmed that your website cant be open for her too. so, my friend and me decided to send email for you and inform you about this problem that you help us in this regard.

I just had a look and found this site: http://www.blockediniran.com/ which claims to test whether any given site is blocked in Iran.
Putting https://www.nvaccess.org/ in its checker, it advised that www.nvaccess.org IS blocked in Iran.
I know our site is based on Word Press and that also appears to be blocked, so that is possibly the reason?
Interestingly that tool also says Dropbox is blocked so I'll be interested to hear whether you can download the file Ralf uploaded for you.

Re: How to Select a Link While n Browse Mode
Well, it is near impossible to tell what is happening from your description.
You should be able to turn off NVDA and browse to the link using tab keys and activate it that way. If you see the same behavior (you do have a focus highlight ring don’t you?) then you know something is fishy in your JS code and its interaction
with the Browser. But then you will need to try another Browser. If you are testing with Edge, try Firefox otherwise try Edge or Internet explorer.

Subject: Re: [nvda] How to Select a Link While n Browse Mode
Sorry to revive this thread so late. I now have a new link problem (but am unable to share the link because it is under development). I am clicking on a link that actually uses JavaScript. It has an href of "javascript:void()", and has
a click() event (which is also triggered by pressing the enter key) which executes a JavaScript function. The first time, the enter key is pressed the function works correctly, but the second time, focus just flies randomly to another part of the page. If
I change the link to a button everything works fine, but for various reasons I want to keep it as a link. Is this an NVDA bug? Any workaround? I do not have this issue in JAWS.

This is one of the things I keep begging people to include when questions like this come up. They are almost impossible to answer in the abstract because there are so many potential scenarios that can cause misbehavior.
Unless this is occurring somewhere like an online banking page, where one must be logged in to get to it, and involves private information, please, please, please include the URL of the page in question, and the identification for the problematic link on that
page. That's the way any of us here can examine things to get an answer that's both fast, and accurate.

Re: another Zotero question
Hello,
Did you say you were having trouble finding Zotero in MS word? Is the Zotero tab visible in MS word for you now? Otherwise, you may need to temporarily disable or turn off your antivirus and reinstall the MS word plub-in. That was the case for me on Windows 7. My Windows 10 machine with the built in antivirus had no difficulties.
Warm regards, Sally
