A suggestion for the next NVDA release
Casey <cwollner@...>
Hi I woudl like to have the way to adjust when going threw web pages with heading you can hear the word heading 1 and then what the heading is.
and then hear heading 2 and the title of it. Instead of hear what the heading is and then hearing heading one. And then it would also be nice to be able to change the hearing the word link when going threw web pages first. Instead of hearing what the link is and then hearing the word link after that. So maybe if those selections can be added in to the next release that would be nice. -- Casey

Blank messages from Freelists
Cearbhall O'Meadhra
Hi,
During the past year there was some discussion about some emails coming from freelists with a blank message body.
This is happening again and I cannot find the solutions which were presented earlier.
I have found the Microsoft instructions to stop security add-ins in Outlook that have prevented the deletion of the message body under whatever unexplained conditions applied at the time. I do not have any of the mentioned add-ins which include AVG. It appears that Outlook may be the culprit. Any advice?
I am using Windows 10, outlook 2016 and NVDA 2016.3 on a desktop PC.
All the best,
Cearbhall

I usually go to the page display menu and choose continuous reading. That seems to let NVDA keep scrolling through the pages sequentially. I can go from page to page using control+page down. In "page Navigation" you can also move from page to page and there is a "go to page "option in that menu.

Re: Calm radio
Well as long as they have a streaming link your standard media player should pick it.

asc/asx is windows media player. m3u/pls is winamp or general playback. see what you can do, you may for example have to find the link for overseas or mobile phones or something to get an actual playable streaming link rather than your web player, but after that you should be able to just load and it runs.

Hmmm a lot of websites for radio are flash based and are just not that good.

One thing I use a lot which has a lot is iheart radio, just search for it by name. Its advertised on just about every station I have here in new zealand and does a lot more. Its free to join and its fully apped on every standard device. Its accessible as far as I can see and the quality is slightly better than fm though it does depend on the station of choice ofcause. For example if it is just an am station, it will be mono but the quality will be fm or slightly better with maybe a little more digital noise but still better. I have not tried other features though.

Re: The unknown issue with mozilla fire fox and thunderbird
Kenny Dog <hurrikennyandopo@...>
Hi Brian
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I put a later version of fire fox on there i think it was version 49 and when i set it up it works well every thing is back to normal. I am sure her version was 47 at that time. So hopefully it will not happen again. but if it does cross fingers not, i will repeat the process. There must of been a bug that caused it in the earlier version. I forgot to mention also the portable version done the same with saying unknown in both fire fox and thunderbird. it was really weird it would act normal in some parts and weird in others. But since it has been done it is all back to normal. It is the first time I have seen this problem and took a bit of time to figure it out. some how it seemed to affect some other programs yet others were ok. I was lucky also i was able to have remote access to help her she can get confused and hit wrong keys at times, so was far quicker for me to do it as she lives 45 minutes north of where i live. Plus i have a good knowledge of computer related stuff and where to look. If it helps some one else to sort out the same problem it is worth it. Gene nz

this is the solution.
when i install webvisum don't forget the update

else it will be replaced with the version of

then you get the same problem as

Cearbhall, There are *lots* of online resources for regular expressions, but if you can lay your hands on the O'Reilly [publisher of "all things Unix"] book entitled Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl that would not be a bad place to start. Here are three different cheat sheets that I found helpful when I was trying to refresh my memory about how these things work. One of the trickiest concepts is that you can have a regular expression match zero or more occurrences of a given character, which seems very odd, but if you think about how time is conventionally written out in many instances, there is no leading zero before 10 AM (or PM) and the one may or may not be there in any given instance of the time, so you need to be able to match zero or more occurrences of the digit 1 at the start. https://www.cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions/ http://www.rexegg.com/regex-quickstart.html http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html I have to warn you that it generally takes a bit of time to wrap one's head around regular expression syntax. The nice thing is that there are websites that allow you to test the regular expression you've put together against a pattern to see if it will match it and even some that will allow you to specify a replace option so that you can see precisely what you'd get as a replacement by piecing together bits of the original string in different order, with different separators, etc. Here is the site that I preferred for that purpose: http://www.freeformatter.com/regex-tester.html -- Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

though why it should be dependent on what goes before in such a fashion is very odd indeed. It's an attempt at natural written language intelligence. Many abbreviations for currencies are, in and of themselves, unpronounceable in English. When they occur after a digit, however, the logical way to pronounce them is as the currency they represent. The same trick is used for AM and PM (regardless of case) when it follows what looks like a time as opposed to elsewhere. We all know that "AM" would be pronounce as in the sentence, "I am typing this right now." I don't know how various synthesizers would handle PM absent the time context.

Re: NVDA and Fractions
A very late PS on that regular expression I posted for capturing the time on Windows to make it pronounce correctly. In my original I had the literal character space between the last digit and the A or P in AM or PM which does work for Windows system time. But, if someone formatted time with more than one space, or a tab, or the like between the last digit and the A or P the AM/PM part would not be captured correctly. The corrected regular expression uses the \s special character with the + quantifier to say any one or more occurrences of any of the "white space" characters. ([1]*[0-9]+)(.)([0-5]{1}[0-9]{1})\s+([a,A,p,P][m,M]) and use the following as the replacement expression: \1 \3 \4 -- Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.
