Re: running beta of nvda
Hi, This behavior is intentional – beta is not really a stable build yet, so NVDA developers are interested in fixing major errors if possible, hence the debug tone. Cheers, Joseph

You can't use NVDA on the secure screen if it is portable--only an installed copy can do this.

Guys, can we use NVDA+X ?
It seems to me that it will be quite convenient. Thank you very much for your advice!

A more intelligent NVDA OCR?
Luke Robinett
First of all, just having OCR capabilities in NVDA has been a game changer! It was only recently that I learned you can hit enter on text in the OCR window and NVDA would try to invoke that corresponding control in the application.
With that in mind, it seems like this could be evolved even further. Is the technology available such that NVDA could try to not only recognize text from the app but ascertain the structure of the user interface, perhaps organizing things into form elements like buttons, text fields etc and then presenting them in the same element browser we use for web pages? Barring that, perhaps a more immediately reachable upgrade would be different actions we can take on items in the OCR result. For example, instead of just the option to hit enter to invoke something, what about a Context menu that lets you invoke it or simply position the mouse cursor where that element was found? I’m not a python developer so take these as suggestions from a layman, but if possible, I think it would frankly revolutionize NVDA. I Work with a lot of music recording/production software and much of it is completely inaccessible, relying on highly visual interfaces that screen readers have no handle into. Something like what I’ve described would really be amazing for these types of programs. Thanks!

Veracryp's SecureDesktop opt not usable latest trunk
john doe
Hello all,
I'm playing with veracrypt's CLI, (1). when using the '/secureDesktop' option to mount an encrypted file, NVDA is totaly lost in the secure desktop password prompt with the latest trunk release ofNVDA in portable mode. Command to trigger the issue: VeraCrypt-x64.exe /v x.vc /l o /q /secureDesktop It would be awsome if that could be addressed. For follow-up, please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list. 1) https://www.veracrypt.fr/code/VeraCrypt/plain/doc/html/Command%20Line%20Usage.html?id=4a7ed6926b276cf88c2485ea2a5e95b7f91e4ac1 -- John Doe

Re: waterfox issues still not solved
How do you get it to do this in chrome or brave?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The only thing I get is an alert stating there is a download, I then have to hit controlj then choose keep or discard. This would be mainly for executables or microsoft installer packages the rest I don't mind if it saves including audio.

You can make the dialog pop up in your face with Firefox or Chrome or Brave. I have it pop up so that I can rename the file if I wish or change the download location, though I choose one place for all downloads, then don't change it.

Did anyone get this to work? I’m having the same exact issue, but when I pasted the suggested resolution into the fields, it still happens, even after restarting NVDA.

Pele, regex: (\d+)\s(Mary.*)
replacement: \1 \2
Adding a Regular Expression match to the Default Dictionary 1. Hit NVDA+N,P,D,D NVDA Main Menu, Preferences, Speech dictionaries, Default Dictionary 2. Hit ALT+A to activate the Add Button or navigate to it and activate it. 3. In the dialog that appears, paste or enter a regular expression in the Pattern edit box. 4. Paste or enter the replacement you want to hear in the Replacement edit box. If you're using a capturing regular expression this may be a sequence of backslashes followed by the numbers of the capture groups you're using. 5. The Comment edit box should either have a comment that helps you to remember the purpose of this dictionary entry, which is preferable, or be left blank. 6. Leave the Case Sensitive checkbox unchecked. 7. The Type radio button should be set to Regular Expression. 8. Activate the OK button -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

Re: Pronunciation: Unwanted Dates
The legal status of ViaVoice is a bit unclear, at least on Windows. On Linux, it's still sold by Voxin, but I'm not aware of anyone still selling it for Windows. The last news I found concerning it was around 2011 or 2012, when Wizzard Software discontinued it. There are some not-trial versions floating around, i.e. they claim to be trials and seem to have trial watermarks in their installers, and claim you have 90 days to use them in their license agreements, but no actual demo limitations, but it's unclear where exactly they came from, and they're very difficult to find online today. Interestingly, the parser included with that version of ViaVoice still exists today in IBM Watson, they're not selling the same voice of course, but parser is still very much the same, you can verify this by trying out an online demo of Watson and sending it words or phrases that ViaVoice mispronounces, such as ribcage or on does.

What is awfully clicky? I've tried the SAPI 5 version and the add-on version of Eloquence. They aren't clicky.

But at some point, that was corrected.

I did remove the older TTS version first. I thought the 2 might conflict. I wasn't using it because of the clicking problem I was having with it.

Re: Pronunciation: Unwanted Dates

Strange! It's a normal add-on which installs like other engines. But if you're using another add-on-based Eloquence or IBMTTS release, it should be removed first so as to avoid conflicts.
