Interesting why someone would want to completely disable speaking of those UIA app notifications through NVDA? You can disable them individually right from within the Windows Action Center located in the Systray.

 

First you here a UIA notification spawned by an app:

1. Press [Windows Key] + [a].

2. [Tab] over to the parent notification app grouping list.

3. Arrow [Down] to the child notification for the app you wish to disable.

4. [Tab] over to the "Settings for this notification" button.

5. Press the [Spacebar] on it.

6. From the pop up menu of options, arrow [Down] or [Up] to "Turn off all notifications for <Name of app>."

 

Simply Select it, and POOF: no more UIA notifications for that specific app. Have disabled notifications for Microsoft mail, and the Microsoft store. They were really the only notifications that were annoying the heck out of me.

 

I use Thunderbird as my primary email client.

 

Using the latest build of Microsoft Windows 10 v2004 by the way.

 

Hi all,

 

Windows 10 App Essentials 20.06 is now available. In addition to Flake8 related internals work, it brings ability to let NVDA stop announcing UIA notifications from Microsoft Store and other programs if “report notifications” is turned off from NVDA’s object presentation settings. As always, the add-on update is available via community add-ons website and through Add-on Updater.

 

IMPORTANT: in accordance with support policy for Windows 10 App Essentials add-on (supporting a given Windows 10 feature update for at least a year but not forever), version 20.06 will be the last release to support Windows 10 Version 1903 (May 2019 Update/build 18362). Version 1903 was supported by this add-on since March 2019, and it is time to say goodbye from this add-on. But not all is lost: Version 1909 (November 2019 Update) and upcoming Version 2004 (May 2020 Update) are supported (in a way, due to special nature of November 2019 Update, the add-on will keep supporting May 2019 Update a while longer). Actually, Windows 10 App Essentials supports two future feature updates already (more on that later). Nevertheless, for support policy, the next major version of this add-on (20.07) will require Windows 10 Version 1909 (November 2019 Update/build 18363) or later.

 

Also, for people using development snapshots: the last development snapshots before the break will be sent this weekend. The next one after that will show up in July.

Cheers,

Joseph

Subject: [nvda] The next evolution of NVDA?

As a home recording enthusiast, I use various types of music production software in conjunction with NVDA. There’s a very interesting NVDA plug-in that basically grants users access to graphical interfaces that are otherwise completely inaccessible. you run into a lot of these types of apps in the music world, such as various software instruments and effects plugins. anyway, I don’t quite understand how it does it’s magic but basically it uses optical character recognition to figure out what’s on the interface and you can then navigate its various controls like any other app. I do believe it requires specific templates to be developed for whatever software you are using it with. I’m just wondering, it seems like this type of approach could signal the next evolution of screen reader technology. Imagine if a screen reader could use artificial intelligence and machine learning along with existing strategies to grant us access to basically any interface, whether or not it followed accessibility standards. I wonder if such a thing will be possible in the near future outside of these very specific use cases like I described. Interesting food for thought.

I did the steps and it was set to original HTML. I actually had to
change it to text before it could read the body of the email. Thank you
for teaching me something new to try when I come across another email
that will not read properly.


Gene, your help was greatly appreciated.

I try to delete the NVDA folder in appdata folder and install the NVDA again. After I insall the vocalizer driver again, I keeps prompt this error again. Please  help. Thanks

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.

I was not sure if this should come on NvDA or thunderbird but am trying
on the NVDA list since I am using NVDA as the screen reader while using
Thunderbird as the mail program. For some reason in the past couple of
weeks a group from which I receive emails from has changed their format.
It acts like it is an image yet I can read it on the Polaris Mini
notetaker. Is there a command I can use to try to get NVDa to read the
email to me? I am willing to forward the email to one of the programmers
for NVDA if you would like to look at it to see what is happening. I am
using the latest version of NVDA and Windows 10 on my laptop.


I would much prefer to be able to read the emails on the laptop than the
notetaker because I would like to access the link in the email from the
laptop.


I would greatly appreciate any assistance that I can receive.


Thank you so very much.
