Hi all
Does anyone know if it is possible to trial this before buying? I’ve emailed the address on the vocalizer-nvda.com website but no response?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Luke

There is something called Jarte which I haven't used personally but it is highly recommended by the folks at NVAccess (https://www.jarte.com/).

True about WordPad, which I'd forgotten all about.

Even so, the probability of needing to be able to at least read other word processing file types or PDFs, even if you're not generating them, makes a more general purpose tool worth considering.

Hello. Is the subject apt for anyone else but me? I am having many focus issues on the Facebook desktop site, using NVDA alpha-20400,675c4c54. I"m using Firefox 77.0.1 on Windows 10 version 1909 Build 18363.900. I've had focus issues for quite some time. Here are latest issues. I will do my best to describe.


When I read posts, I use browse mode, pressing "h" to move from heading to heading. If I want to like a post, I navigate to the like button. When I press enter on it, it appears to be stuck in the reactions area. If I press escape, I am thrown somewhere else on the page.


I try to comment on a post I liked, and it has me doing things to the reactions. I hit the escape key and again, I"m thrown somewhere else on the page. I hope I can help you all solve this one. It is annoying, to say the least.

You have to contact the support team to reset the activation counts for you. That's what they've told me when I had the same question like you, and I emailed the support team. Thankfully, their DRM system is not like the Code Factory, or at least from my experience.

To be honest thats why I am all for sapi voices in the big synths but then I want to be a multiuser type deal.

I don't really need high quality voices for general admin, after all, crappy and fast with good performance is fine for my general day to day life.

Playing games or reading books, then yeah I need better voices, but espeak does what it does which is read the screen.

The issue with high quality voices is while you can use them to read the screen there is a delay when they do things and there is a bit of lag.

They are fine for books and games though.

Espeak is also good in dosbox but that could also be my old dos days.

Of course depending what the game is, you need a voice that fits.

Sometimes there are arcade and other games that while you can run a high quality voice, especially if these are mimicking older arcade machines, high quality kinda doesn't go, then something crappy and robotic sounding like eloquence fits that machine.

Beatstar for example fits a lot better with eloquence because I concidder it an arcade type unit type deal.

But it depends on the user and what you do of course.

For most of the time I actually need performance over quality.

As long as its read then its fine.

Hi,
Have you tried contacting Code Factory to see if they will reset the activation counts for you?

   I may have an issue with activation. My Windows laptop died a couple years ago. I think its computer name si what I see in the About tab and deactivation does not seem to allow me to get rid of it. I also may have used one activation on a portable setup but I don't know where to look for that now.

   The default voice that came up when I upgraded to 2020.1 is hard for me to listen to. But if I can fix this activation issue quicklu that would be great.

Hello,
It is not the voice that needs to be updated. You need to update the driver for the voices. You should be able to find the updated driver from the code factory website or from where you bought the voices.

   I have a Vovalizer voice from Code Factory. It is incompatible with NVDA     2020 and will be disabled if I proceed with installation. Someone indicated the voice needs to be updated. I need to know how to do that.

can check off more to-do tasks. Thanks.

Hi from me,


You say that you happen to face it on Firefox. I face it on Google Chrome. That's to say, when I come upon the like button in the reactions toolbar area while in the browse mode, NVDA automatically switches to the focus mode. And then, when I hit escape as you do, NVDA's focus is thrown somewhere else. To get rid of the inconveniences, I go to the NVDA menu, choose the advanced submenu, and then tab to the automatically set system focus to focusable elements to uncheck it just to stop NVDA's focus skipping of its own accord. When I do that, I can use www.facebook.com much better when I walk through the reactions area and the comments area.


Both Chrome and NVDA are the latest versions (NVDA being the latest stable).
