Re: NVDA and Creating Anchor Text?
Quentin Christensen
Hi David, An anchor is basically just a link. If you want to create an anchor so you can link directly to a particular part of the text, here's a guide: https://www.rapidtables.com/web/html/link/html-anchor-link.html The blue colour is just the default colour that many browsers use for links, just as links are usually underlined - you shouldn't need to do anything special in your HTML to specify that - either leave it to the design of the page itself if you are simply submitting content, or to the individual user browsing the site. Regards Quentin.

Re: speechhub add-on installation error
David Griffith
I don’t know if you had any other answers but as I understand Speech Hub basically operates to improve the performance of some legacy older voices like the older Microsoft voices and some others.
It also occasionally helps out in some other non NVDA situations, I don’t know why, but for example on one machine I could not get the Speak On app to recognise standard purchased Sapi 5 voices but they worked fine when ported through SpeechHub for some reason so was very useful there.

Sorry if interrupted this thread but, just curious.
What exactly does with SpeechHub differs from eSpeak?
Do they have other voices as well?

Re: Require help with Google Hangouts with NVDA

I don’t know myself what Browser Google meets will work with. I don’t have firefox. I do have Google Chrome Edge and IE. I think it will work very well with Chrome. I don’t think it matters what you use. Just as long as you have an updated browser. Like I said earlier. I never used it.

Google Meet is a product line all its own, launched since the Covid-19 pandemic started, that's meant to compete with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and the like. Hangouts still exists as a completely separate product, though it's said Google intends to discontinue it. Heaven knows they've done that before. Voice (which still exists, but is virtually never talked about other than to get a phone number) was replaced by Hangouts and now that's going to be replaced by something else. But if it's Google Meet that has not occurred as of yet. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Anyone with a Google Account can open the page hangouts.google.com in the web browser of their choosing and be able to make phone calls within the USA and Canada at no charge, make video calls to other Google Account holders, and, now, get into Google Meetings. You can also send a text message from Hangouts, but only if you have signed up for a Google Voice number and allow Hangouts to use it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: Require help with Google Hangouts with NVDA
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Using+Google+Hangouts+with+a+screen+reader
Then start reading. Google publishes extensive accessibility documentation for virtually every product it makes, and Hangouts is among those. There's nothing like going to the source, and a simple web search takes you straight to it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

NVDA and Creating Anchor Text?
David Russell
Hello Members,
I write general articles for a major freelance service, and sporadically, an order may appear in the work pool asking for something that includes "anchor text." I did not choose to take the order, because my Google research revealed that best practices shows anchor text in blue. I do not know if the program used by the freelance service has an option to select colored text. In the future, is there an HTML guide that will instruct one on how to create anchor text that automatically fills in whatever is necessary? Thanks in advance. I do receive the digest version of group emails. -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@gmail.com

Re: NVDA becoming unresponsive in Microsoft Teams
David Goldfield
This problem is not just an NVDA issue but is more of a problem with Teams and it's one which Microsoft is aware of, although I'm somewhat mystified that it's taken this long for a fix to be deployed to production. One way to get Teams to cooperate when accessibility seems to
break down is to resize the window. In other words, press
Windows-down arrow to minimize it and then restore or maximize it
again. This should get Teams to resume communicating with your
screen reader. David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist JAWS Certified, 2019 WWW.DavidGoldfield.org On 6/3/2020 12:52 AM, Sarah k Alawami

Re: NeedSolution in auto open search
Quentin Christensen
In Windows 10, when you press the Windows key it opens the start menu, but the focus will likely go to the search (Cortana) edit. You can either arrow or tab and move past the edit, or type what you want to find. EG if you type Word, it will find Microsoft Word (if installed), WordPad and anything else with Word in the name. It will also find documents and settings. Regards Quentin.
