NVDA & Jaws
Jeffrey Bohrman <jeffrey.bohrman@...>
Hello All!
I am the brand new kid on the block and I do not yet have NVDA in my system as yet but have wanted to do this for some time. On a list that I am no longer on, several people said that they Have Jaws and Nvda working "together". I think they switch between the two depending on the need or are they are on at the same time. I am not sure though. And, what is the benefit of having both screen readers in force at the same time? Thank you and I simply look forward to meeting many of you through this list. Have a swell evening! Jeff :-)

a few questions
Kelsey Nicolay <piano.girl0299@...>
Hello,
I am new to this group and nvda. I am a JAWS user now, but I am thinking about making the switch to nvda. However, I have a few questions. First, does anyone know whether nvda works with Salesforce? JAWS does, but I have not found anything that says whether nvda will work or not and I want to make sure nvda will work with Salesforce before I make the switch. Second, I use a Brailliant Bi 40. What would be involved in getting that set up to work with nvda? The usb driver is already installed on my computer at work, but I would like to try to set up my Brailliant for use with nvda on my personal laptop before I attempt to do it at work. Therefore, would someone who uses a Brailliant be willing to walk me through the setup process and show me how to use the display with nvda? Finally, which web browsers does nvda work well with? Currently my default at work is set to Firefox, but Chrome is their preferred browser. Thank you, Kelsey Nicolay

Hi, Brian,
I ended up calling the Microsoft disability line and they helped me with this problem. Thanks very much for trying to help though.

Re: virbosity

Hi Don, NVDA has a document formatting dialog - NVDA+control+d or open the NVDA menu (NVDA+n) then preferences, then document formatting. On the document formatting dialog, you can set what information gets read automatically, from changes in font name or size, to the number of columns in a table. If you turn off any of these, for instance if you turn off all the table information, then NVDA won't necessarily announce when it gets to a table, but the commands to move around or between tables will still work. On the flip side, the keyboard dialog - NVDA+control+d or from the preferences menu, allows you to control what NVDA reads out while you press keys. Some of these have their own keystrokes, for instance NVDA+2 to turn speak typed characters on or off and NVDA+3 to toggle speak typed words. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: command needed
Gene
I should clarify and correct something in my last
message. I said that if you use insert b in Windows Live Mail, that you
will hear a lot of additional information. That is true if you are using
the old menu version of the program. In the newer ribbon version, you will
hear a little bit of additional information but not much.
Gene
----- Original Message -----
Read the screen is numpad insert or the main
keyboard insert b. That does about the same thing as control shift w in
Window-eyes. Because of NVDA reading what are called objects when you
issue this command, at times, you may get more information than you got with
Window-eyes using the command. If, for example, you use Windows Live Mail,
you will hear a lot of buttons read that you never heard before. The rest
of th4e information will be read as well but oit's interesting and useful to get
this extra information at times. I won't go into how this information
might be acted on in terms of using commands to move to it and activate
controls; that involves concepts you will have to learn things like screen
navigation with the review keys for but the point is that at times, the
information you hear will be more inclusive than what you heard in
Window-eyes.

You do not mean like the nvda key + the letter B
That key combo will read every thing on the screen from top to bottom.

Re: third party rss readers
In that case, you could mix the RSS feeds by using services like RSS mix or feed informer. although, feed informer is not for the technologically challenged.

Re: third party rss readers
Christopher Bartlett
I subscribe to well over 100 rss feeds. I do not wish to have to check each feed manually when they vary so much in frequency of posting, from feeds that post many articles a day to those that post irregularly. I want all the articles aggregated into one chronological list, or at least one list, so I don't have to cursor down through a bajillion feeds.

Re: third party rss readers
Gene
You may see things in order in the feeds you
monitor. I have only used the reader on New York Times feeds and they are
not in order. This same problem is what is being complained about in the
message you are responding to. perhaps the reader looks for a certain
format when determining how to organize feeds. If so, and if The New York
Times doesn't follow this format, its fair to assume that many other feeds don't
follow it either. therefore, it may well be that many feeds aren't
presented in proper order, though some or many others may be. But this
appears to be a serious problem concerning this reader.
