Re: Minor thing — NVDA and Windows Hello
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I bet NVDA is handling all events at once for this situation. Fixing this is a bit hard: 1. This is hardware-specific: a system with an IR (infrared) camera must be required to troubleshoot this problem. 2. This requires troubleshooting secure screen code, as these messages are announced by login prompt window. The thing is, I don't have an IR camera equipped system - my ThinkPad includes a fingerprint reader, which does allow Windows Hello to work. Cheers, Joseph

Yep! It’s definitely an issue. I’ve had it happen several times already, and I have someone at work who uses Jaws and reports the same issue as well.

Re: NVDA links and buttons on websites
Laughing Thunder
Short of having NVDA route the mouse pointer to the inaccessible item, and clicking the mouse, no. It has to do with the way the website is coded. These things happen when websites are not coded properly to support screen readers. I see this all the time.

NVDA has problems with Braille in Excel and Windows Mail App
Cristina Ebetiuc
Hello all!
2. Since yesterday I can*t read the Content in the Windows Mail App on the Braille line. It either says Nothing or it Shows mail or notifications which I get. I don't believe if that could be the problem. But could this be because I reinstalled Office yesterday? Ah and the reinstalling of Office doesn’t solve the Problem in Excel.
Windows 10 the May update I think, Office 2016, NVDA latest Version, Windows-Apps-essentials latest Version, Braille extender latest Version.

Re: NVDA links and buttons on websites
Jacob Kruger
Hettie, at times you might need to use the NvDA key + numpad /, to route mouse cursor to current position, followed by just the numpad / to then click the mouse button, or else, try the NVDA key + numpad enter key combo to perform default action?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
And, sometimes you might need to actually use the tab key to land on a control and just hit the primary enter key to activate it - really depends on what the specific site is doing that is interfering with interaction.

Re: McAfee Antivirus does not work with NVDA
Gene
That's not surprising. Increasing numbers of antivirus programs don't work with screen-readers. It may work with JAWS; you might want to try JAWS to see but I'm far from optimistic.

If you are using Windows 10, Windows Defender is highly rated and well thought of. If Malware Bytes is still accessible, you may want to use that as well. Gene

Re: NVDA links and buttons on websites
Gene
Another way that may work is to move the mouse to the control and clicking it. If the person is using the desktop layout, do the following:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Be on the control. Issue the command numpad enter numpad star. That is, hold numpad enter, then press star. That moves the mouse to the control. Click the mouse using just the star key. So the seaquence is num;pad insert num;pad star, then star. If that doesn't work, be on the control, turn off Browse Mode, then press the space bar on the button. If it’s a link, try enter. Also, some links may not work unless you move beyond the first letter of it. While in browse mode, right arrow once past the first letter, then try enter. Gene

Re: NVDA links and buttons on websites
Sam Taylor
The website may be refreshing, but may not be alerting him to the fact that changes have occurred. Otherwise he could try focussing the review cursor on the button or link (Section 5.5 of the NVDA user guide), and either left clicking, or activating the current navigator object. Activate current navigator object Left mouse button click

Re: A possible problem with the beta
Gene
I noticed the problem with a version that was older than the current version of betas but I didn't pay much attention to it because I use a much older version of NVDA usually. It does everything I want and its just easier to keep using it. But the recent nonbeta version I noticed this problem on has the same problem. I haven't tried announce cap for capital letters. I'll try it but I'm sure it will work.

If I use SAPI 4, Via Voice is used. I'm using Windows 7. The capital pitch change doesn't work. I've verified this by trying many pitch settings. Is this a more general problem or does it only affect MSAPI 4 or MSAPI4 when used with Via Voice? Which is another way of asking if the problem is so limited it may not be worth addressing or if it’s a more general one. I've noticed this in recent versions of NVDA. I wonder if it is related to the change in Python.

Re: problems with braille and NVDA

Hi Sam,
Yes, hybrid mode is enabled off course. When I press my arrows keys its doing cursor movement. I have braille connection to NVDA.

Hi Afik,
When you press the arrow keys on your QBraille, does it emulate cursor movement? Have you enabled hybrid mode? Do you still have a Braille connection to NVDA? Does the same behaviour occur if you restart NVDA with addons disabled? Thanks Sam

office 2019 word and nvda
Hi.
I have not got a log for this but it happens every time I open office 2019 and then after closing it. Nvda will stop responding for 10 seconds like look as if it just died but will eventually come back. After that, nvda will not read the search box in windows properly in the start menu till I restart nvda. I am not an office user though just an admin for a few systems with it. Its happened on a couple systems and now another user on another list I am on reports this. So I think it can be reproduced. I have yet to look for a log, but since its happened on 3 other occasions I thought I'd ask here and see if someone else can confirm it for me and either get me to report it or set the ticket.

Re: NVDA Highlighter Window
Quentin Christensen
If it happens to come back and you happen to have NVDA set to record logs at Debug level, I'd be interested in a copy of the log. It's not the desired behaviour (normally focus highlight doesn't require its own window), so if it does happen in a particular situation (and even better if we can narrow down what causes it) we can investigate. Regards Quentin.

Re: NVDA Highlighter Window
Laughing Thunder
That's a little odd. If you have a checkbox that's half-checked,
just use space to toggle it until it's unchecked. If you don't
need the focus highlighting that is.
