What new sounds
Don H
Got the latest NVDA installed and I don't see any differences in any sounds created by NVDA. What am I missing here?

Re: installing NVDA on a machine with Window-eyes already installed
Arlene
It shouldn't be a problem. I have both the latest build of NVDA on my old 7 box. And Jaws 14. Just don’t have them run at the same time. You can have one of your main screan readers run when your computer starts. If you want windoweyes running as default. Have it run furst. If you want to use NVDA. Unload Windoweyes or whatever screan reader you have running as default and load NVDA if you want it! or vice versa.

I'm hoping to do a soft transition but want to avoid software conflicts. I would never actually run these simultaneously, obviously. Suggestions welcome. Thank you! Sally

Re: love the new sounds
Damien Garwood
Hi,
I’ll say here what I said on the development list. I have my own NVDA
sounds, and the first time an update destroyed them I wasn’t best please. Yeah,
my own stupid fault for not backing up, but I honestly didn’t think the
installer would completely overwrite everything.
Then me and my mind had a battle. Make the installer not overwrite them.
Yeah, but then at times such as now the sounds would never get updated. All
right then, have a sound scheme system similar to Windows. Really? For five or
so sounds? Unlikely. Make an addon? Again, a lot of work for five or so sounds.
Not to mention that the startup sound probably plays before the addons are even
loaded. Pointless.
Since I can’t think of anything else and the developers would probably give
the same arguments for not implementing it, chances are it probably won’t happen
unless more sounds are added in the future for different things.
Cheers.
Damien.
I love the new sounds they should be an option. Give an option to revert to the old sound scheme for those that want it..

Re: Office 2003 with NVDA 2017.2

A friend of mine uses Office 2003 and said that it doesn’t work with the
latest version of NVDA, so he has gone back to the previous version.

Hi,
Anybody out there using NVDA with Office 2003?
I have a report from one of our users saying that Outlook 2003 freezes when opening a message. Sorry but at the moment no time available for gathering logs.
Our solution for now is to reinstall 2017.1 and switch off automatic updates.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi gene
I totally agree with you.
When ever i teach some one i have it so it says which mode it is in so the person knows when they can use single letter navigation in browse mode and when it says focus mode they can type say into a form.
then i will after a little let them know about the sounds but they usually stay with it been said.

Re: Power Media player or Power DVD

Hi

yes Just do not turn it on it will play the dvd as normal. In VLC media player after the movie is playing if the dvd did have a audio description track it is a letter B i think it is to toggle it to on or through the audio tracks. if you do not do that it play as normal. plus VLC will let you play all zone movies Gene nz

Re: New nvda sounds

Dennis, be aware that, like it says on the page, it's the under-development snapshot version, so could have minor forms of issues/bugs in it, so, just make sure you do install it in a folder/location you can remove it from later on, etc. - don't let it override your normal/stable version until you are sure you want to work with it, but: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapshots/

Re: New nvda sounds
Gene
If people want to use sounds of some sort, that's
fine. But I strongly believe that sounds for browse mode and focus mode
shouldn't be on by default. People learning the screen-reader, especially
those not familiar with the Internet, should get verbal prompts.
Gene

always know if brouse mode is on or not. I really don't see the point in changing the sounds. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If they do get rid of the sounds, they'll need to add something that let's you know when brouse mode is active.

In my ioinion, some type os sound would be helpful because you don't always know if brouse mode is on or not.

Re: New nvda sounds
Gene
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.

Re: installing NVDA on a machine with Window-eyes already installed
Since I'm on a Windows 10 machine, if you count Narrator which is built-in, I have four screen readers installed. The other three being JAWS, NVDA, and Window Eyes.
None has ever given me an issue (and I've never tried to run more than one at the same time).

moving to NVDA
Josh Kennedy
If NVDA had a jaws layout addon and a window eyes layout addon then it would work. or you could go into the input gestures dialog box and change NVDA keyboard gestures. that's the only way I can think of to do such changes.

Hi,
I have a suggestion: replace old browse/focus mode sounds with sounds, which were asigned to start/stop NVDA. For start/stop NVDA, please, please use old piano sounds. regards, Jožef
