voice pitch not changing when capitalizing a letter
Dan Thompson
Hi all, I am trying to get a student’s NVD to change pitch when she types a capital letter. I have set the pitch change all the way up to 100 and still there is no change. Of course I really don’t want the change at 100. I just kept trying different pitches. I have tried the pitch change with Neo speech kate, and Paul, eloquence And the default Easy speak. None make the pitch change when capitalizing. Can some one help? Thanks in advance.

For those on devlearning subgroup, you know this: I advised those taking the course to tell NVDA to announce line indentations via speech, a tone or both (I myself use it at times and it is very beneficial in knowing which code block I'm in). Cheers, Joseph

It appears to me that you have signed up for gbeta
releases. Version 56 appears to be schuled for release in later
September. If this is correct and you are using a beta, I don't know where
you report problems to Mozilla but most people here won't have your version,
which will result in considerable confusion.

Hi
under the keyboard settings is the extended insert key checked? Here I have all 3 checked. I just tried it with the extended insert key with the others ctrl key + either up or down to ajust the volume It worked nicely a little bit different but could be done with the one hand.
I guess i am just use to using 2 hands to do the same job.
by the way is your keyboard a full qwerty keyboard? I have seen machines that might have 2 insert keys or 2 extended insert keys but do not know what the second key is for unless it does the same job.The extended insert key on my qwerty keyboard is the zero key. maybe you are pressing the wrong one? or do you have it marked?

Re: Firefox has updated to 56 and its broken

I had at first assumed this is a bug. Maybe
it's something the designers consider some sort of convenience feature.
Whatever it is, it should be removed. It is very bad practice to have a
short cut combination do one thing when the modifier is held and another when it
isn't held. The only other instance I know of this, and in this one case,
it makes sense to make an exception. is that holding the Windows key and typing
r opens the run dialog. Pressing and releasing the Windows key opens the
start menu.
But there is no justification for having alt b work
differently in Firefox and it isn't proper design.

The point is though, I have not issued ANY commands so this is not relevant in this case.

I don't know if it is, but it lets you type into the edit field. if you simply issue control I again, the field should close and you will be back in the general browser. Alt b does the same thing now, it toggles the search interface on and off. Unless you are describing some other behavior, that is the behavior I've seen in the latest update available from Firefox now in the about dialog. As I said, in the update I have. alt b now duplicates the action of control I when you hold alt and type b while doing so. Also, if people don't know how to use the control I book marks search interface, that is one of the biggest advantages of Firefox unless you start talking about specialized add ons some people may really like. If you issue the command control I and type a word or more than one word, then tab once, you will see one or more book marks. All folders are searched so you don't have to worry about where the book mark is. I have a number of New York Times book marks. I don't want to bother organizing the order of book marks in the book marks menu. I simply type something to show me the result I want efficiently. There is a book mark that is titled Today's Paper. I don't type all that. I type apostrophe s then I space than I type pap as follows: 's pap That's all I have to do. I tab once, I down arrow to select the only result, and I press enter. I often use the menu if book marks are convenient to get to by qquickly arrowing to them or with first letter navigation. But anyone with more than a small number of book marks knows how limited these methods are to get to a lot of the book marks in the menu which aren't conveniently located to be moved to in these ways. Also, after you press enter and are taken to the page, you can toggle off the interface with control I. You will be taken to the page and you won't know the interface is still opened. It doesn't automatically close and it doesn't get in the way of the page. But it's good to close it to reduce clutter when you move around the firefox interface and so that you won't have the annoying situation of intending to open the search feature with control I and have nothing appear to happen. If nothing appears to happen, that's very likely because you forgot to close it and you have just closed it now.

Slowly hitting tab eventually ends up in the browse mode on the page you set up as start. However, whereas the previous 54 and 55 versions always go into focus mode if this page is a search engine, in 56 this does not occur, leaving you to figure out if its shifte or e to get to that field, then press enter to get into it. Its all very inconvenient. I have never ever seen this weird bookmark panel before. Its most certainly not the bookmark list or toolbar as we have had previously, and indeed as I say, no keyboard entry is needed to initiate it, its just there on start up. I got so annoyed in trying to find a place to put it back as it was, I decided life was too short and put in 54 as this is the last executable archive I had.

strange happening with speech recognition.
ken lawrence
Hello? List members, a strange event is happening when I use speech
recognition and dictation bridge. Sometimes when I say one word it says
something else and when I try to correct it using the backspace for some strange
reason the number eight or sometimes the word eight your shows up in the text is
my speech recognition hearing my hand striking the backspace key? Is my
microphone that sensitive? Otherwise the dictation bridge extension works
great and I can't wait until it is available for. Job access with
speech. Any ideas on how to keep the number eight or the word eight from
coming up in the text of messages?
