Re: The next evolution of NVDA?
Great idea. Make a feature request for it on the NVDA github.

Hi,

The plugin that is being referred to is I believe Sibiac (Single Image Blob Interface Accessible Control). Here's a link to the website containing more information: http://www.azslow.com/index.php?topic=372.0

I do hope to have such advancement.

But would you think that AI improvement would some day replace such thing called screen reader and all will be done byAI? Luke Robinett 於 19/5/2020 6:00 寫道:

Re: Need tips and tricks on the use of Google Docs with NVDA
Ibrahim Abedrabbo
Hi David, I have two questions for you. First, from your experience, which browser is more reliable with Google Docs, Google Chrome or Fire Fox? Second, I am following the AFB tutorial to learn how to use google docs with Fire Fox, and it says that by hitting control alt z will enable or disable screen reader support, However, When I press control alt z, I get no feedback to know if the screen reader support is toggled on or off. What do you think I am doing wrong?
Cheers,
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of David Moore
Google Docs is very accessible with NVDA. I use Docs a lot, to produce well formatted documents. If you use Google’s commands to navigate, you will have a great experience. Let me know what you need help with.

A few questions
Akshaya Choudhary
Hello guys, I have a few questions: 1. Is there a way to have different punctuation settings for different voices or synthesizers? I think it can be done by creating a different configuration profile. But, my NVDA starts behaving weird if there are more than one configuration profiles. So, an alternative is welcome. 2. I have 6 voices available in my Windows One Core synthesizer, but when I switch to SAPI 5, I can only access two of those voices. What could be the reason? The two available SAPI 5 voices are English US voices. The other two set of voices that are only available in One Core synthesizer are Indian English and Hindi. 3. In Phonetic Punctuation add-on, some audio rules stay active regardless of the set punctuation level. For example, if Phonetic Punctuation is turned on, I hear sounds for ellipsis; left and right parenthesis’s; and editable field, even when my punctuation level is set to none. Any suggestions to fix this? Also, can there be a setting allowing the users to set independent punctuation levels for the audio rules? I shall be grateful for any feedback. -- Regards, Sociohack

Hello. This is not possible in the NVDA core, because the APPI used by the old add-on is... Well, a legal situation. Regards.

Hello.
I have noticed, that in Moderator, when I press some keys, letters are normally reproduced. In voice assistant, situation is not so good.
Please, could You edit onecore voices to have some echoes of keys, as in moderator?
Or, as in former addon speech mobile?
Thank You.

Re: problem with nvda chrome and pressing enter on items
Jonathan COHN
Does this happen for all links or does it only happen on a few sites. Also, are you using the current version, or do you use pre-release or prevent updating. I haven’t heard of these issues except in some very specific design errors on a site, but I have been concentrating on Firefox recently. Jonathan

problem with nvda chrome and pressing enter on items
Jonathan Nadeau
Hello list,
I'm having a problem with nvda only inside of chrome. Before while surfing the web with chrome I could tab onto a link or a menu item and then press enter and it would bring me to the next page or download the file of the link I click on. Now all of a sudden if I tab to an item and then press enter nothing happens. I have to use the arrow keys to land on the item or link press enter and it then works. Any ideas of why tabbing to something doesn't work anymore but if I arrow to it it will work. Any help is greatly appreciated. This is really messing with my work flow.

Re: NVDA is misbehave in text boxes on some websites
Gene
I've seen web page editors that are not properly
accesible. Write your message in Notepad, then paste it into the text area
of the web page. If you can't read it when browse mode is off, you can
probably read it to verify it is there when browse mode is on.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA is misbehave in text boxes on some

Anyway, I was browsing audiogames.net forum, and when I want to reply to a topic. So I went into a text area so that I can input some texts into it. However, when I arrowing up and down to review what I have typed into the box, NVDA acts like there is nothing in the text box at all. Also sometimes NVDA report the same character twice when I tried edeting character by character by using the left or right arrow keys. Does anyone know what could be the problem? And if so, is there a fix for it currently? Thanks.

Re: reading what seems to be a blank email
Gene
To see how the program is set and change it, open
the view menu, down arrow to message body as and press enter.
Down arrow through the choices. NVDA calls
the items radio menu items, which makes no sense but that's how they are
presented to NVDA. If plain text is checked, you are reading mail in plain
text. My guess is that you are trying to read an HTML message that doesn't
have a text variation included and are not seeing anything. To read the
message as HTML In the safest way, up or down arrow to simple HTML and press
enter. The menu will close and you are now reading mail as simple
HTML. That means that the HTML in messages used for formatting them is
being used, but nothing in the HTML of any message can run. So there is no
chance of malicious code that may be in a message running. Use that
setting to read mail and you will be able to read any message like this along
with all your other mail.

Re: nvda with foxit reader
Quentin Christensen
Hi Almaric, I haven't encountered this myself. Have you tried other PDF files? If you restart NVDA with add-ons disabled does it still happen? If you could confirm those things, and then send me a copy of a PDF file to info@..., I can have a look. Include a brief description so I know what it's about. Quentin.
