Ann, <snip Do you have to have dragon to use dictation bridge??? PL] No because dictationBridge can work with WSR. However, you do get the best speech-recognition experience with Dragon.

Right! And I am telling him that I don't know if software made with Pascal is accessible, but that programs made with another branch of pascal can be made to be so. Is there anything wrong with that? sir?

Re: nvda and google docs sheets and slides
Hi Michael! You are so welcome. When in Google Docs, You can press Alt+SHIFT+F to get to the Files menu, and use arrow keys to get to the accessibility menu. If Google Docs has been set to use a screen reader by pressing Alt+CTRL+Z, then the accessible menu will be added. If you press enter on the accessibility menu, you will have categories’ of key commands for Google Docs. Another powerful key command to bring up all of the Google Commands in Docs, is to press CTRL+Slash. A table of all of the Google commands will come up.! I should do a tutorial for Google Docs!

Re: discord accessibility
Hi Although I do certainly agree that discord is working on bringing accessibility to their platform (take the IOS app as an example, where a bit less than a year ago you couldn't even read messages and now you can) I must admit, the fact that these features and fixes are getting implemented soooooo slowly warrants the creation of an addon. The fact that Discord is an electron app adds to this, as I imagine, though I could be totally wrong, that most of the information needed is already their, but it isn't exposed through the aria specification in any way, meaning an addon for NVDA to derive this information from what is given out is definitely possible.
As somebody who loves python, loves open source projects, loves Discord and above all, loves NVDA, I've been meaning to look into addon development myself for a while now and I may use Discord as a jumping off point once I've figured out the ins and outs of developing an addon.
Kind regards,

Hi!
I use the Mail app all the time, and I definitely have the
messages show in
conversation view. You can delete a whole group of messages at
one press of
the delete key.
You have to press the left arrow a couple of times before you
read the next
message.
The mail app opens the conversation by itself, so you have to
press the left
arrow a couple of times really quickly and press delete very
quickly if you
want to delete that entire conversation of messages.
I use NVDA with character typing, so I am not sure about word
echo.
Sometimes, to read a message, you have to enter on the
message, then shift
tab, and tab back to the message, press left arrow a couple of
times to
close the conversation, and press enter two or three times
quickly to open
the message.
The Mail app s not going to give you the same result all of
the time.
You have to get creative and find work arounds as you go to
get the most out
of it.
You can press the applications key or shift+F10 on a folder,
and get many
choices like:
Create a sub folder, add the folder to your favorites, and
more.
You cannot make rules in the mail app itself.
You have to create the rules on the web site, and they will
import into the
mail app.
Good luck, and ask anymore questions!

Re: Best settings to use Windows10's Mail app with latestNVDA?
It is all personal preference I guess but on my system Thunderbird is sluggish and pretty slow. Windows Mail is snappy and fast. I find the keyboard shortcuts very intuitive, pretty much identical to Outlook and it is easily the fastest and easiest Mail client I use. As mentioned there are a couple of focus workarounds you have to deploy if the Inbox updates with new mail coming in but personally pressing shift tab occasionally is not a hardship. Bells and whistles it does not have but I can use the sluggish and cumbersome old Outlook which I have on my system if this is really required. I much prefer using Mail though. The vast majority of time I simply want to write or read emails quickly and it does fine for this, as it is doing at the moment. The main annoyance with NVDA and Mail is that you have to press alt a couple of time before typing in a replied or new mail. This is not required with Jaws so it would be useful if this could be sorted out.

with latest
NVDA?
Hi!
I use the Mail app all the time, and I definitely have the
messages show in
conversation view. You can delete a whole group of messages at
one press of
the delete key.
You have to press the left arrow a couple of times before you
read the next
message.
The mail app opens the conversation by itself, so you have to
press the left
arrow a couple of times really quickly and press delete very
quickly if you
want to delete that entire conversation of messages.
I use NVDA with character typing, so I am not sure about word
echo.
Sometimes, to read a message, you have to enter on the
message, then shift
tab, and tab back to the message, press left arrow a couple of
times to
close the conversation, and press enter two or three times
quickly to open
the message.
The Mail app s not going to give you the same result all of
the time.
You have to get creative and find work arounds as you go to
get the most out
of it.
You can press the applications key or shift+F10 on a folder,
and get many
choices like:
Create a sub folder, add the folder to your favorites, and
more.
You cannot make rules in the mail app itself.
You have to create the rules on the web site, and they will
import into the
mail app.
Good luck, and ask anymore questions!

Last night, I debued a new Laptop with Windows10, and am using
its Mail app.
HOwever I?d like to see what settings you’drecommend to get
the best working
experience? Firstly let’s say I?reading Emails a thread, and
when the thread
ends, it seems to put me out of the Email bodies, with the
button that in
Spanish, atlesat, it says something about Navigation expended,
orNavigation
contracted.I’d like for the Mail program, like it has donewith
allthe Mail
programs I’ve used over the yearsI’ve been using Windows, to
until I’mdone
Reading all the Emails, it’ll take out of the theirbodies. My
method is to
first delete all the ones that don’t seeminteresting, and only
readthe
apparently interesting ones. Can this be done? And lastly the
most
frustratingexperience I’m having with the Windows10Mail app is
that NVDA
doesn’tread the words upon spacing! Yes I’veactivated and
deactivated the
option of NVDA+3, with nodifference! So what tips/tricks do
you guys
recommend to get the most out of Windows10’s Mail app?

I agree. I tried the mail app and didn't really care for it.

I recently downloaded lots of games to occupy myself. Two main places you can go are www.audiogames.net and the audio games archive, both of which have been mentioned previously. AudioGames.knet has a list of any game you could possibly want, and the archive has old games that are no longer available elsewhere or were abandoned.

Re: Read Metadata in Switched Language
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Well that ids because the computer is still switched to the language it defaults to, only the text being read is marked as spanish, so really nvda is doing what it is supposed to. If you switched the whole computer over then i guess it would all be in Spanish. Brian

Hello,
When I have the screen reader read Spanish content with the eSpeak profile, although it is reading the screen text properly, it is saying the metadata in English (e.g. "visited link") in English. Is there any way to configure so that even the metadata is read in Spanish?

Hi Travis,
Is this a Spanish site? I opened the link and found a fully-Spanish
website and still found nothing about gaming, even something about
blind tech.
Cheers,

Folks looking for general gaming for the blind may be better
served by the audyssey list. I don't know the specific
subscribe info, but it can be found at audyssey.org.
Hope this helps.

I don't think it is under that name any more, I
think it transformed in to the blind gamers list:

the original poster asked about pastel (like the chalk used to
draw on sidewalks), not pascal (a programming language), and just
for reference, delphi is *not* related to open pascal, it's it's
own little versio of pascal, that several free pascal
implementations have to screw up their own code just to support
delphi conventions, it's all very irritating for the free pascal
folks.
