NVDA 2020.1 Released

By NV Access

NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2020.1 of NVDA, the free screen reader for Microsoft Windows, is now available for download. We encourage all users to upgrade to this version.

Highlights of this release include support for several new braille displays from HumanWare and APH, plus many other important bug fixes such as the ability to again read math in Microsoft Word using MathPlayer / MathType.

Please note, after updating any software, it is a good idea to restart the computer. Restart by going to the Shutdown dialog, selecting “restart” and pressing ENTER. Updating software can change files which are in use. This can lead to instability and strange behaviour which is resolved by rebooting. This is the first thing to try if you do notice anything odd after updating.

While downloading NVDA, please consider becoming a monthly donor. Contributions like yours help NV Access continue our important work.

We also have a range of training material in the NV Access Shop to help you increase your skills with NVDA. Start with the popular Basic Training for NVDA in electronic text, audio and braille. Save with the NVDA Productivity Bundle. This includes Basic Training, all our Microsoft Office training, and telephone support.

Re: google and insecure apps

Since GMail considers almost every program to be less secure and since you aren't likely to be hacked using these widely used programs, why bother to learn another program that is more secure but where it doesn't matter? 
 
If you are hacked, you will know immediately.  you will receive a message from GMail to your back up e-mail address telling you that someone logged into your account with this or that device and I believe giving an approximate location.  If you use a good password, unless your machine is infectedd with malware or GMail itself is hacked, I consider the risk of being hacked to be small or negligible. 
 
If I used e-mail for some sort of important purposes, I would encrypt it if privacy were a concern.  for typical discussions such as list mail and conversations with friends, why bother?

Subject: [nvda] google and insecure apps

Hi.

To those on outlook and other programs as long as your program supports
o auth 2 it will be fine.

Even though thunderbird with normal passwords works fine with o auth I
get a faster experience with sending and recieving.

I did have less secure apps on, but just turned it off since now I am
able to use o auth in thunderbird I have no desire or need to leave that
active.

Becides google keeps complaining about it every so often so I don't have it.

If you currently use outlook as a home user and either don't use any
advanced features or are only using it for mail, I'd personally switch
to thunderbird and turn on o auth so that you can get mail without this
insecure stuff.

You can also buy office 2019 which should have this security standard.

Pontes must be updated before it works properly again.  Every now and then, Youtube grows wise to Pontes and similar programs.  They change something in the download logarithm that makes Pontes not work so well.  Sometimes this issue is caused by a JAVA update.  If JAVA causes the issue, all you need do is uninstall and reinstall Pontes--being sure to delete all associated folders.  But I already tried that and it still is having issues.  You will have to wait until Pontes developers update the program.

locked Recent Issue with Excessive Verbosity in Thunderbird When Using NVDA (Announcement Only)

I have been following this bug since I contributed to it on the NVDA GitHub.  As of this afternoon, it is officially closed.

The issue was with Thunderbird, not NVDA, and the final note when the bug was closed is, "Fixed in Thunderbird 68.8"

Why?  (And that's a serious question.)

There had been an issue with PDFs in the stable version of the new Edge, but I believe that has been fixed now.  It's not my favorite, though, as I prefer to open PDFs in a dedicated reader or editor for same.  It seems to be very-well-liked in the screen reader forums I participate on.  What is it that you are looking for that Edge isn't giving you?  That's pretty essential to know if alternatives are to be proposed.

Re: can't get nvda remote to work

Glenn

You said you are using "nvdaremote" for the host. I don't know if you meant that literally, but if so, be aware that it should be "nvdaremote.com".

You were probably just using shorthand there, but I have seen such seemingly obvious oversights cripple many hours of productivity as well, so thought I would point it out.

Subject: Re: [nvda] how to find the play button?

 

When I visit:  https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/state-parole-board-releasing-twice-the-amount-of-prisoners-to-ease-crowding-amid-pandemic

I cannot get NVDA to find that play control, either.  If I hover the mouse over it, NVDA announces, "To get missing image descriptions, open the context menu."  And that is whether it's the initial one, or if I start playing, pause the video, and the subsequent play arrow shows in the center.  I also have never seen an embedded video player that uses this style elsewhere.

I have no idea how to get at the context menu to which NVDA is making reference, as if I do SHIFT+F10 I get the standard browser context menu which has nothing to do with unlabeled images or getting image descriptions.  I am using Brave when doing this testing.

locked The NVDA Chat Subgroup - An Introduction (Announcement Only)

Brian Vogel
 

Hello All,

          Every once in a great while it doesn't hurt to post a reminder about the existence of same, as newer members may not be aware of its existence.  Here's the group description:  The Chat Subgroup is dedicated to the discussion of anything its members want to discuss.  There are no topic restrictions.  Many topics have a technical focus on configuring or controlling specific programs where how to use them, not using NVDA itself, is the primary focus.  Others are purely social in nature.  The Chat Subgroup allows those members of the NVDA community who wish to engage in discussions not focused on NVDA to do so and to keep those conversations separate from the main NVDA group.

The bulk of the conversations on the Chat Subgroup have trended toward discussions of how to use a given piece of software - how to get to specific settings, etc. - that have nothing to do with which screen reader you're using, per se.  But, within the bounds of civility, pretty much any topic anyone wishes is allowed there.  It's a way that members of the community can discuss any sort of non-NVDA topic with other members of the community who have joined and wish to participate in those.

Those of us using a third party downloader were having issues. Youtube basically changed some stuff and the app makers have to work around it, again.

Take care and that's all I know.

Hi Dan/Fresh Start,

Pontes must be updated before it works properly again.  Every now and then, Youtube grows wise to Pontes and similar programs.  They change something in the download logarithm that makes Pontes not work so well.  Sometimes this issue is caused by a JAVA update.  If JAVA causes the issue, all you need do is uninstall and reinstall Pontes--being sure to delete all associated folders.  But I already tried that and it still is having issues.  You will have to wait until Pontes developers update the program.

...And you are sending out a 'pirated song' with every daily devotion--HMMMMMM! Interesting!

Greetings all,

I am not sure who recommended Pontes Media downloader.  But hit is been awesome.  however, I have been having a little issue lately.  I am using version 3.0.

1.        How do I get Pontes to empty the table of past url’s?

2.       2.  Sometimes when pasting the url from youtube into the url field for downloading, then tabbing to the download button and pressing enter on it, the file doesn’t always download.

3.       I go back to check the url field and find it is empty.  But one more shift tab back there is a list of past download url’s.

4.       I tried copying and pasting the shortcut listing with no luck. NVDA will read me the first column but not what that keystroke does in the second column.

5.       How can I get the complete table to copy to the clipboard to paste into Word and save.

6.        

7.       I have had great success with Pontes.  But lately, It takes a few times getting the file.  I am went through the program options and think all is set right.  I genuine thank anyone for some directions.  I send a song out with each of my daily devotions and rely heavily on the awesome program…  Blessings in any of

Re: SoundForge Users On This List

I am currently using version 11 and have used nine for years and didn’t have any issues.  However, I do have a few questions as well.

I had to move to a Windows ten pro. Computer.  A program called Sonar and cake walk don’t work in that environment.  It it possible to do multi-track recordings in Soundforge 11 and above?  I would be very greatful to carry on this conversation off line if allowed so as not to clog up this list with too many questions.  Thanks in advance.
