Hi! I find the Clipspeak add-on very useful, because without it there is no announcement of when copying and cutting and pasting has been done; As for the system tray add-on, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but why do you need this add-on, and consider it as essential, when the system tray is perfectly usable without it? I’m not criticizing, just curious as to why you consider it a necessary add-on and think it should be part of NVDA, when NVDA can easily read the system tray on its own? Bye for now! From Clare

I don't use many add ons because the way I use my computer, I don't benefit from most of them. But the two I use regularly and I consider important enough that they shouldn't be add ons is Clip Speak, which announces copy and past when you copy to and past from the clipboard, and the system tray dialog add on. The system tray dialog has been a standard part of screen-readers since Windows 2008. It should be included in NVDA itself but it isn't.
As for Clipp Speak, I don't know if there is a new version that solves these problems. the original version caused some problems in Word and it caused a problem in the Youtube downloader I use even though I wasn't directly using the add on. So, if you see strange problems you didn't have before, even if they seem unrelated to anything you would expect the add on to cause, try disabling them and see if the problem disappears.

NVDA and TortoiseSVN
Mohammadreza Rashad
Hello my friends, I'm using Windows 10 x64 build 1803 and TortoiseSVN
1.10.1 x64 (latest version). First: When I want to commit something and go to the log editor to write what I want to do, while navigating to the first character in edit field, either by home key when I’m on first line or by leftArrow key, NVDA freezes for 10 seconds. When freeze ends, It says “blank” instead of first letter. When I want to delete that first letter with the Backspace key, NVDA freezes forever. Then I have to press ctrl+alt+n to run it again. I saw the abovementioned problem with 3 versions of NVDA: 2018.2.1, 2018.3beta3, and latest alpha (15920). I’ll paste the NVDA log file for technicians to investigate. Second: I still have problem when I want to check my commit or update result lists with review cursor. This cursor does not scroll the list to show the rest. In a list with e.g. 35 items, I can only see the last 10 items using review cursor. Thanks in advance --- NVDA log set to debug warnings --- INFO - __main__ (11:52:27.204): Starting NVDA INFO - core.main (11:52:27.405): Config dir: C:\Users\Mohammadreza\AppData\Roaming\nvda INFO - config.ConfigManager._loadConfig (11:52:27.407): Loading config: C:\Users\Mohammadreza\AppData\Roaming\nvda\nvda.ini INFO - core.main (11:52:27.515): NVDA version 2018.2.1 INFO - core.main (11:52:27.516): Using Windows version 10.0.17134 workstation INFO - core.main (11:52:27.516): Using Python version 2.7.15 (v2.7.15:ca079a3ea3, Apr 30 2018, 16:22:17) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] INFO - core.main (11:52:27.516): Using comtypes version 1.1.3 DEBUGWARNING - touchHandler.touchSupported (11:52:27.609): No touch devices found INFO - synthDrivers.espeak.SynthDriver.__init__ (11:52:27.825): Using eSpeak NG version 1.49.1 dev INFO - synthDriverHandler.setSynth (11:52:27.884): Loaded synthDriver espeak INFO - core.main (11:52:27.884): Using wx version 3.0.2.0 msw (classic) INFO - brailleInput.initialize (11:52:27.885): Braille input initialized INFO - braille.initialize (11:52:27.888): Using liblouis version 3.5.0 INFO - braille.BrailleHandler.setDisplayByName (11:52:27.888): Loaded braille display driver noBraille, current display has 0 cells.

Re: VLC meedia player with nvda
To be honest, if you have dvd audio extracter you can crack the dvds.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I personally think its a crime for us to have to even do this especially if the damn things are ours and sightlings can handle the menus for nothing. Windows media player may work better. In most dvds which are not paramount, its possible to extract the dvd but with some startrek dvds all the files are done in such a way that while you can pull them they are in bits and bobs and unable to be reordered. In others they are almost impossible to get. Saying that with streaming being a thing, dvds and video shops are a thing of the past. Then again, while I have a lot, I have not brought or listened to a dvd in ages. Its not much good if I can't access it, or if while I can crack the thing I have issues cracking them. I actually object to cracking the dvds in the first place as it takes time to do so about 30 minutes especially if I will only watch them once. I even have to crack rental dvds so I can watch them and while I will crack all day long I really think the laws that make dvds accessible should also imply that there is a way to either rent audio described dvds or audio tracks or buy them out right. That would make me not hack the dvds in the first place. But those laws don't exist and now its just to hard to do that now so I just don't watch many dvds now.

Re: Spell Checking With NVDA
Gene
That is for an entire line. If there is only
one word on what NVDA considers a line, whether it is or not, you will only hear
that one word spelled. But that isn't the read current word command.
I would suggest you consider learning the proper
review commands, for read current word and read current character. You
should also learn the command in that cluster for read current line. They
are important not only because you may need them for there usual purpose, but
they are essential to know if you want to select text you can't select with the
application cursor. If you are in a dialog, for example, and you want to
send someone the text that describes an error to someone doing technical
support.

Hi Nene, Welcome to the group, and to NVDA. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. There are also some structured learning resources you might be interested in. The official training material is the "Basic Training for NVDA" which is not free, but priced quite reasonably, and in a range of formats from the NV Access shop: http://www.nvaccess.org/shop/ If you are coming from another screen reader, there are several excellent (and free) guides created by members of the community: Switching from Jaws to NVDA: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda-community/wiki/SwitchingFromJawsToNVDA Switching from Window-Eyes to NVDA: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda-community/wiki/Switching-from-Window-Eyes-to-NVDA Kind regards Quentin.

For this reason, I have NVDA set to notify me of spelling mistakes. When proofreading a document, I pay attention to these and correct them on the spot.

Re: Facebook account

This isn't actually an NVDA question, particularly if you are talking about your phone, but, when you run the facebook app, or go to the website, when you get to the login screen asking for your username and password, if you can't remember either of them, there should be a "forgotten account" or "forgotten password" link or similar, which should walk you through regaining access to your account. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Spell Checking With NVDA
Quentin Christensen
Hi Wilco, Assuming you are using the latest version of Office 2016, the Spell checker has actually improved quite a bit over earlier Word 2016 implementations. In earlier versions you did need to use object navigation to get to the misspelt word. The way it is now, you don't need to. If you are running a corporate operating environment, they may be locked on an older build. If that is the case, then you may need to press NVDA+numpad4 (NVDA+shift+left arrow if using laptop keyboard layout) to move to the previous object to read the misspelt word. That works, but I'd still push for them to update if possible. Kind regards Quentin.
