Yep, this pretty much mirrors my experience, although I can never get NVDA to read the list now.

 

NVDA is pretty horrible with File Explorer under Windows 10, and it’s got worse with this build.

I just close file explorer and reopen it when it starts acting funky. either that, or I shut down NVDA and restart it. Alternatively, I can sit here and stare at the computer for a few minutes, until it decides to behave itself, which it does eventually do. It has to be an NVDA thing, though, because it doesn't do this with System Access at all. I have trouble alt tabbing between windows when it wants to act up, and then I have trouble going through list items. It's like the cursor doesn't want to move through them but it actually does; it's just NVDA isn't reading me the items. I also find that if I have more than, say, two or three windows open and I close one of them, it starts working fine again. It's random, though, so I never know when it's going to misbehave. It's not aggravating enough to make me switch screen readers, though. I just figure it'll be fixed in a future update and go with it.

I am Marisane from SA.

I've just bought a win10 machine.

I've had it for a month now.

It's been giving me problems I've not experienced in my life of using
windows operating system machines.

This win10 machine consumes more data than I can understand.

I am contracted to one of SA's network operators (Vodacom).

I receive 4 gb (2 gb per day and 2 gb per night).

The minute I connect my mobile wifi modem, much data is consumed.

What is win10 doing different from what was done by win7?

What extra apps are installed/updated?
Can I delay the update or will this disadvantage my machine? In other
words, will my delaying the update lead my machine to being attacked
by viruses?

How many times should this data-consuming update happen in a month?

What setting do I have to turn off to save data?

Your assistance in this regard is appreciated in advance.

Re: Using NVDA with a Twitter Account

Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
 

Wrong.

twitter is not charging for api usage, as a whole, it's only charging for certain aspects of the api, which will (at most) limit functionality of third party twitter clients, not make them unusable.  According to the site I read, it's mostly related to realtime interactions, and refresh times of tweets, that's all. Your twitter clients aren't going to magically stop working, they just won't update instantly anymore.  Personally, I don't find this to be a problem in the least, but that's just me.

Twitter clients. Re: Read Feeds add-on

Robert Kingett
 

I use feeds all the time because everything comes straight to me, rather than me having to browse. Best part is, I can combine sources into one huge RSS feed. As for the twitter clients, Twitter will be shutting down third party support in August.
Re: Using NVDA with a Twitter Account

Clare Page <clare.page@...>
 

Hi!
Judging from what I have heard recently, third party client developers having to pay exorbitant fees to use the new Twitter API is only part of the story.
I gather that third party Twitter clients should still work after 16 August, but, as the new Twitter API replaces the streaming API we've had for some years now, not having the new API in third party clients means that they will no longer be able to stream tweets: in npractice, this simply means that users will have to wait longer for tweets to come in, which was the case when I joined Twitter in 2009 anyway, so it's not a big deal-breaker for me.
As for Twitter with NVDA, to get back to the subject of this list, I do not know, as a Windows 7 user, whether the Windows 10 Twitter UWP app works well with NVDA, but NVDA users should still be able to use the currently accessible third party Twitter clients after 16 August, but without streaming of tweets, if I understand right. So there may not be a monopoly on Twitter after all.
I hope this reassures anyone on this list who uses third party accessible Twitter clients at least a bit!
Bye for now!
From Clare

Hello Marisane.
Read this page. It might help you. https://www.techyuga.com/stop-windows-10-from-using-so-much-data/

I experienced something similar when I first got this machine and was having trouble with my ISP. I set Windows to use my mobile phone's data connection, and it promptly maxed me out for the month. I set the connection to metered .. a little too late, but at least I know to do it if I ever need to tether to the phone again. Now, the page above is somewhat out of date; I believe mS has made some changes in the last year, due in parts to complaints like yours. If you get stuck, do a google search for something like "setting metered connection in Windows 10" and you should eventually be set straight.

Possibly something you have installed or updated recently.  Maybe see if you can find a Windows log or something indicating the problem or google and see if you can find anyone else with the same problem.

Hello, 
Do you guys have these problems? 
Since yesterday I  just can't shutdown my NVDA by the task manager. 
When I tried "taskkill /f /im nvda.exe" it gives me a error message. 
And that's the only way I found to fix the bug that freezes my computer

Re: Unable to read speaker notes in PowerPoint 2016

Quentin Christensen
 

You mentioned not being sure if it was the keyboard, if you run your slideshow, and turn input help on (NVDA+1), then press control+shift+s, it should read

"ctrl+shift+s
Toggles between reporting the speaker notes or the actual slide content. This does not change what is visible on-screen, but only what the user can read with NVDA"

Which version of NVDA / PowerPoint are you using?  I just tried in PowerPoint 2016 (Office 365) and the latest NVDA Next snapshot and it seemed to work fine.  Note that was when running the slideshow.  To view speaker notes while editing a presentation, press alt+w, p, n to toggle whether speaker notes are visible.  When visible, you should be able to get to the notes with F6.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Hi all,

I have created a PowerPoint presentation and have added speaker notes to it.
I understand from the NVDA documentation that when I am in slide show view,
I should be able to press ctrl+shift+s to read speaker notes. This is not
happening. Is this function working or is this a keyboard issue?

Re: Problems When tried Shutting Down NVDA

Quentin Christensen
 

It's funny how we just put up with their quirks sometimes - In order to use my microphone, I have to go into it and disable then reenable it each time I turn the computer on.  It's an annoyance, but I just do it - I must admit, I have looked into it before and it seems to be an issue with this webcam that Logitech aren't interested in fixing so it's either deal with it, or buy a different model webcam.  Yours sounds a bit more serious though.

Re: open live writer is not accessible yet.

Robert Kingett
 

Hey there! A tad late coming into the party! BUT I am very familiar with markdown. I usually publish by email, to a wordpress.com blog, or use IFTTT to post my blog via text message or twitter DM, but I like the idea of just firing up one program where all my blog accounts are stored, including, Medium. I saw they were working on adding medium integration, which would allow me to take more journalism jobs because publishers are moving to a subscription model on medium so us writers can get paid. I publish my own member exclusive content to Medium, but I have yet to find an accessible desktop solution that can publish straight to these platforms without me having to sign in every time. Further down the thread, they explain that it can be done, but, with me being a writer, and editor, I didn't quite get what it's coded in, even. NVDA is treating the text editor like it is an HTML web page, rather than a text editor. I tried looking for a LibreOffice to blogger or LibreOffice to medium, or, LibreOffice to wordpress.com, not .org solution, but none exists. I find that for me, writing in a web interface is slow and clunky. I will download that text editor and try it out! I have Jarte Pro, portable version, but, strangely enough, Jarte treats markdown like it's a typo.
