Straying a bit but just to point out the following. If I'm a company looking for ways to sell my product, I can in theory mine the data from your list emails and know what you like, what you don't like, and suggest products to you that you didn't even know you wanted. This is called data mining, and every single big company does this. Ok, hopping off of my soap box now.

Luke, if you're reading this, regarding your point about getting the mailbox configuration thing to show up, yes, you do have to select expand row for that to work. I am trying the process on my new machine and so far your steps are working for me.

Re: Interacting with mouse over links using NVDA?

Also, I doubt that having something appear on a web page or change is classified as a focus change.  it is a change on the page, and unless there is something like JAVA script on the page to force you to that place, as Google forces you into the edit field when you open the home page to do a search, I don't think the screen-reader will react.  Look at live regions on web pages.  If there changing information were defined by the screen-reader as a new focus point, you would be constantly losing your place when trying to work with the page.

I doubt this can be generalized.  What if the menu or whatever structure or additional information occurs on a very different part of the page.  Your screen-reader won't read the information automatically and you have no idea where to look.  often, when I played with the JAWS mouseover feature, I would hear information such as screen changed at line 11.  I hope on the web page you are working with, moving the mouse to the link is useful.

Re: Any way to decrease NVDA sounds except the voice?

Daniel Damacena

#76410

You need to edit the sounds themselves.

Go to

c:\program files (x86)\nvda\waves

There you'll find the sounds.

I usually edit them with audacity.

After you replace the sounds with the new ones, you restart the screen reader.

Hi list ken here for the last several weeks I have all of the sudden had very strange issues with mix cloud. The stranges of all today. To make a long complicated story short it’s as if NVDA has lost it’s sight and ability to focus on mixcloud. This morning trying to upload a show when it should have been finished it’s as if I haden’t done it I hit confirm name to start the upload and while waiting for it to finish read newsline. When I went back the choose file button was still there not the completed upload ready for tagging and publishing. Then when I tried it again when I hit confirm name suddenly one of my older shows started to play. I am therefore suspending use of mixcloud until further notice. Is there an NVDA add on for this site and if not is there another better place to archive my older radio shows. Very very strange.

Hi. Not to worry. I am an avid user of Opera as well, and I too am not getting my address's bar propperly read by NVDA. And Jaws doesn't read it as well, so I am confident it is an Opera issue which I have written about to the developers. Cheers!

Hello everyone,
In the past I was when I opened the address field and a url typed read
everything back that I had typed.
Now that's no longer, it seems the line is empty when I had typed something.
I have the latest version of Opera.
This is a known issue or is it just me?
there are others who suffer it?
This is only opera!
my other browsers do not have that problem.
best regards

Re: The file to manually change NVDA commands

Thanks.  I wasn't thinking of filter as meaning the same thing as search.  I missed the command when I was looking through where I thought it might be.

You want gestures.ini. but the command you want is already there, search
the input gestures dialog for status.

Re: Interacting with mouse over links using NVDA?

Gene

#76399

It may cause the action to take place but you won't know what or where it is.  NVDA doesn't support mouseover.  My impression is that it is so rarely necessary in using sites that it isn't supported except in JAWS.

When you issue the mouseover command in JAWS, JAWS tells you where a change occurred on what line.  You then use the go to line command to see what the change is.  You then use another command to return to your previous position.  NVDA has none of these functions.  While I would think that moving the mouse to the link might carry out the action, as I said, you won't know anything about it.

Hey Akash

1. Move your focus to the position of the element that has the mouse over actions.
2. Move the mouse pointer to that position with NVDA + / on the number pad (desktop mode) or NVDA + Shift + M (laptop mode).

This should display mouse over actions. Note that I am assuming that the navigator object is set to follow focus changes, which is the default behaviour. You can clarify this if necessary in the Review Cursor settings or toggle this behaviour on or off with NVDA + 7.

All the best.

Hey guys,
so subject line says all this.
How do we interact with mouse over links/controls using NVDA?
In JAWS, we use to press "insert+control+enter" which doesn't work in case of NVDA.
any help/pointers please?

Windows 10 App Essentials 20.08.1, Enhanced Touch Gestures August 16th dev build #addonrelease

Joseph Lee

#76397

Hi all,

Windows 10 App Essentials 20.08.1 is on its way – it will show up in about an hour from now. In addition, Enhanced Touch Gestures August 16th development build will be released. WinTenApps 20.08.1 resolves compatibility issue with latest Cortana 2 release on May 2020 Update (Version 2004), specifically NVDA will now announce Cortana’s responses.

Additional things to note:

Enhanced Touch Gestures: August 16th build is a development build and includes features planned for upcoming 20.09 release. For people using August 13th snapshot, today’s build removes coordinate announcement beep for touch exploration.
Windows 10 App Essentials: August 16th development build is also on its way. This build includes all the changes in 20.08.1 stable version with additional linting fixes. It is also the last regular build for a while – starting from the next dev build, WinTenApps will test compatibility with NVDA 2020.3 changes, as changes made in that NVDA version will affect this add-on greatly. For this reason, these bleeding-edge builds (to be named “devAlpha”) will require NVDA 2020.3 alpha for full functionality. Regular builds will resume in late August.

Cheers,

Joseph

Unless someone is sending personal or confidential information, they may not care. I don't think any possible sbnooper is going to be interested in reading my mail, which mostly is e-mail list mail.

Luke, if you're reading this, regarding your point about getting the mailbox configuration thing to show up, yes, you do have to select expand row for that to work. I am trying the process on my new machine and so far your steps are working for me.
