Re: Reading the Windows Explorer Window

Quentin Christensen
 

Can you give steps to reproduce?  Does it happen every time you use the arrow keys in the tree view?

I haven't got Windows 8.1 in front of me to test with just now, so if I can get as many details as possible for when I can test it that would be great.

Regards

Quentin.

Re: Spelling what is on the clipboard?

Hi Brandon,
No, there is no way via NVDA core itself that you can currently spell
clipboard contents. You may check the ClipContent Designer NVDA
add-on, and if this functionality is not available (which it probably
isn't, as far as I recall), you can suggest it to Nolia.
Thanks.

Hello,
Is there any way to spell what is on the clipboard? I love the ability to
hear what is on the clipboard, but when copying someone's name or long

pasting, I really would like to be able to hear how to spell what is on the
clipboard.

Re: Testing espeak NG changes to improve a language

Hi Ronan,
In case you aren't already aware, there exists a dedicated ESpeak-NG
mailing list which you can subscribe to by sending a blank mail to
espeak-ng+subscribe@groups.io. You may have better chances of getting
a detailed developer-side response there or on NVDA-Devel than on the
NVDA Users International Forum, i.e. this mailing list.
Thanks.

I have made a first attempt at a full build of espeak NG on Windows

Re: New nvda sounds

Oh golly! Did you have to curse?  I hated system access! My computer gagged and spat it out as though it ate a food it did not like!  I was glad to have rid of it!  It would not let me instal the free version when I wanted to try the free trial.  I tried this before a friend gave me his key.  Even with my friend’s key it would not instal properly. My computer gagged and spat it out!

System Access doesn't have a brouse mode at all. You simply go to the
website go to the edit field you want and type. It used to allow you to
type in any edit field. It doesn't work with Google anymore.
Regardless, it's an idea for the NVDA developers.

Re: New nvda sounds

I absolutely agree. Most portable programs do create their own folder. NVDA does not. I installed a portable version at one time in a main folder assuming NVDA would create its own. Big mistake. I had to go in manually and figure out which files and folders belonged to NVDA, and which ones were there already. Learned an unnecessary, in my opinion, lesson.

Run the installer.  Tab through the dialog and you will see that you mustg accept the license agreement.  The next dialog gives you choices such as install, make portable version and continue running.  Create a portable version.  Don't designate a folder with any other files in it.  The portable creator doesn't place the files in a folder of its own.  It will place the files directly in a folder you specify.  I had thought about commenting on this in the past but I didn't.  But NVDA should, in my opinion, create a folder when creating a portable version.  I had believed it would and so I designated a folder at one time and had the NVDA files placed in a folder with lots of other files.  Just as zip programs create a folder when unzipping, so, I think, should NVDA.

Dennis, download the NVDA decelopment snapshot, install it to something like
a portable installation location, and then go copy the sound clips from the

Testing espeak NG changes to improve a language

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone on the NVDA list can help me with some

System Access doesn't have a forms and browse mode because it is designed somehow to allow the page to be changed such as in edit fields and to allow browsing at the same time.  However, this imposes limitations on what you can do.  I haven't used System Access to Go hardly at all for a long time but I recall coming across occasions where I wanted to do something I couldn't do because I couldn't switch between browse and forms mode.

System Access doesn't have a brouse mode at all. You simply go to the
website go to the edit field you want and type. It used to allow you to
type in any edit field. It doesn't work with Google anymore.
Regardless, it's an idea for the NVDA developers.

Spelling what is on the clipboard?

Brandon Keith Biggs
 

Hello,
Is there any way to spell what is on the clipboard? I love the ability to hear what is on the clipboard, but when copying someone's name or long strings of numbers that I need to enter into boxes that don't allow pasting, I really would like to be able to hear how to spell what is on the clipboard.
Thanks,

Hi I have the latest version of NVDA how do you install the new sounds to it
and what are all the sounds for?
Also if you have A sound assigned that you don't want can you just turn that
one off and keep the rest running?

It should be a announcement you can turn on or off.

Hi,
I believe the new sounds are in the development snapshots rather than the actual official releases.

Re: Weather Plus update dialog

Hi all,

I just had this happen to me right now. I wasn’t sure what was going on, and it asked me if I wanted to update it and download it, but I did it yesterday. I don’t know why it asked me again today. Pretty strange LOL!

Yes, I did notice this with the latest update of the weather plus add on.

Hi,

 

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

 

When  the weather Plus update dialog pops up and I do not immediately notice it it seems to take control of the keyboard or something.  If it is up in the background and I am on another window NVDA doesn't behave very well.  I often notice this because keyboard commands start failing to do anything.

 

If I cycle through the open windows and find the weather Plus dialog up I can close that dialog and then NVDA works just as it should.

 

I am wondering if the Weather Plus update dialog is using some kind of interface that is causing this.
