Anyone ever thought about making NVDA recognize NVDA or nvda as its own acronym?
In playing with a couple of things this morning it hit me that when NVDA sees either NVDA in all caps or nvda in lower case, using the synthesizer I'm using (SAPI-5) it always pronounces it as "en vda" (I don't even know how to write out something I think would be pronounced correctly) rather than N V D A. The probability of NVDA ever occuring, whether upper case, lower case, or mixed case as a stand alone word that is something other than the N V D A acronym is so vanishingly close to zero that I'd think building in recognition of itself, and saying N V D A like it does when starting up and shutting down, would be a nice touch.

Re: Reading of numbers
Regardless of whether one would want something like 2.2.23 read as two point two point twenty-three or two point two point two three the only likely way you're going to get that to happen is by using regular expressions to recognize "numbers not likely to be money or other standard 2-decimal place numbers." The number string matched by the regular expression would then be broken apart into its component parts then spoken. I had to do something similar for the word, "cup," which, for some unknown reason, was constantly being read as "Cuban pesos" if it occurred after a number, and I was dealing with recipes, so two Cuban pesos of flour made no sense. Oddly enough, if you substituted "Cup", with a capital C, for "cup" and the synthesizer got that it would say "cup." I'm trying to think about how a regular expression could be constructed for this if the number of point separated numbers is unknown and could be more than three number groupings. It can be done, but I'm rusty in thinking up how it could be done. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill

Re: Email Client
Gene
That should have nothing to do with the
problem. Windows Live Mail doesn't use the Microsoft word processor's
spell checker. I don't have Word installed and the spell checker in the
program works fine. You can experiment but I'm not sure what might happen if you
uninstall and reinstall Word or Office. It may damage something NVDA needs
to function properly and you may have a new and more serious problem. If
anything, try reinstalling Windows Live Mail and I would be very reluctant to
uninstall and reinstall Word or Office. I wouldn't do it before asking the
list about possible general effects on NVDA and if reinstalling gets rid of the
problem I've seen discussed here that uninstalling causes.

Hi Don,

I could be wrong, but I think NVAccess uses paypal for all transactions. Paypal has an option that allows users without paypal accounts to enter card information for one time use and so I suspect that's what you're seeing. Paypal's systems are designed all screwy. I find a lot of niggling stuff especially on my devices which are all mobile. Whenever I call them for help they never seem to care overmuch. You can try it, but if you have another device you can try it on, that may save you an awful amount of frustration. You could also set up a paypal account. Then donating would become a kind of direct banking process and you get all the benefits, yes and the tribulations too, of having a paypal account. Sorry all this is happening to you, but thanks for persevering. If there is anything I can actually do to help, I will be happy to. Best, Erik Sent with AquaMail for Android http://www.aqua-mail.com

Re: Email Client
Peter Chin
Hello Ron,
Thanks very much for your reply. I think you have hit the nail on the
head. I do have Microsoft Office installed and, presumably registered, because
my free version of Window-Eyes is working fine, but I think the computer
technician installed WLM before installing Microsoft Office and so that’s where
the problem lies. It looks like I shall either have to re-install WLM or
download a separate spellchecker.
Thanks once again for solving my problem.
Hi Peter,
Keep in mind that if you do not have a Microsoft Office product installed then the spell checker will not work in Windows Live Mail. You can get a number of free spell checkers that will work with Windows Live Mail. I haven't needed one for a while, but someone on the list will probably recommend one or you can Google Spell Checker for Windows Live Mail and find one.
