Re: can't submit a survey to Hadley

Hi, Arleen,

I'm using windows 10 and the latest version of NVDA. I tried firefox and the
webbie browser as well as internet explorer and neither browser worked. I
also tried system Access to go but that didn't work either.

Hi, everyone,



I just finished taking a course in independent living housekeeping. I was
able to answer the questions in the survey but when it came to trying to
submit it, I couldn't. I tried it with both NVDA and system access to go but
neither screen reader saw the submit button. I even tried it with object
navigation but that didn't work either. Have any of you had trouble with
submitting surveys to Hadley using NVDA? I had to send the email about the
survey to my sister to help me fill it out.

P.S. I tried with webbie browser and firefox but the same thing happened.
Re: link for Hadley survey

Hi Rosemary,


I have no problem navigating this page and at the very end, there is a submit button. I don't want to fill out the survey because I haven't taken any such course. Actually, I thought of filling it in with all negative answers for laughs and giggles and then submitting, but that would screw up someone's reputation there. This is obviously a specific survey requested for students and the URL is probably proprietary.

Hi Rosemarie,



I am using the latest Firefox, windows 10 and NVDA 2016.2.



I have no problem seeing each field. In fact I answered each question with

Re: espeak n g no good it sneezes on some words

Well, in the case of verbosity as I traverse the system, I do a lot of
rapid scrolling and pressing of ctrl. I know what my system says where
and am familiar enough with my computer to know where things are without
being told. :)


Reading stories and articles is most of what I do with NVDA. Changing
speeds from super fast to what I consider normal and back would be quite
as jarring as listening to a piece of music at double-speed and then
straight away listening to the same song at normal speed. Whenever I do
that the normal rate sounds too slow...

Danni,

If by "shut off the chatter" you mean to stop NVDA from speaking
while you type, etc., you can use NVDA Key+S to toggle speech mode. I also
use the No Beeps Speech Mode NVDA add-on so that I either have speech or
silence, as there is a third feedback using beeps which I have no use for.
The NVDA Key+S is a true on/off toggle for speech if you use that add-on,
otherwise it is a cycling switch between, off, beep mode, and speech mode.

Announcing the launch of a six-week course on app module creation via Skype and TeamTalk

Joseph Lee
 

Hi everyone,

 

Have you encountered an app that you believe an app module could make it more usable? Have you wanted to find out how you can apply your skills in Python in a real-life project? Want to get into contributing code to NVDA screen reader project but need some preparation time? Or are you a user who’d like to sit back as an NVDA contributor walks you through behind the scenes tour of some apps?

 

If that’s you, there’s an event for it: starting from June 25, 2016, come and join a six-week course on learning how to write your first NVDA app module. This course, taught by an NVDA contributor, will teach you the basics of writing app modules, including scripts, events, overlay classes and more. This course will be taught via Skype and TeamTalk:

 

·         For Skype users: join NVDA support group.

·         TeamTalk: Come to NVDACon Korea TeamTalk Server (nvda-kr.org)

 

Course outline:

·         Introduction to app modules

·         What app modules are not

·         Communicating with app developers regarding app accessibility issues

·         Your first script

·         Speech, braille and tones

·         Handling events

·         Overlay classes

·         COM, Windows API and advanced topics

·         Live demos of app modules and looking at actual app module source code (from both NVDA Core and add-ons)

 

You’ll need:

·         Python 2.7.

·         Basic to intermediate Python skills (programmers only).

·         An app you’ll be writing an app module for.

·         Text editor for writing Python code.

 

Additional information:

·         Cost: absolutely free.

·         Recorded sessions: yes.

·         There will be an introductory meeting on June 18th at 12 PM Pacific (3 PM Eastern) via both Skype and TeamTalk (at the same time).

·         Basic knowledge of Python is recommended, with an experience with writing global plugins being a bonus.

·         Taught by an actual NVDA contributor with full access to NVDA screen reader source code.

 

For more information, please contact me directly via email (joseph.lee22590@...) or via Twitter (@joslee). Hope to meet many of you through this course.

Cheers,

Joseph
Re: NVDA Issues.

Ok, if you are getting formatting information, then it's actually control that's not being picked up, rather than the insert - are you using the same control key when you change insert keys?

I've found sometimes the control / shift or alt keys get "stuck" on - that is Windows thinks you are holding the key down when you aren't.  In that case I usually tap all the offending keys a few times quickly and it seems to sort itself out.

Another possibility, particularly if you are using the other control key, is that one of your control keys isn't working for some reason perhaps?

Kind regards

Quentin.

To restart with addons disabled, press NVDA+q, then down arrow to "Restart with addons disabled" and press ENTER (you'll need to have "show exit options when exiting NVDA checked in NVDA's general settings).

If it does still happen with addons disabled, please let me know.  If It doesn't still happen with addons disabled, could you please list the addons that you are using  (NVDA+n then go to "tools" then "manage add ons" to see the list).

Hi there,

So you're saying if you use extended insert in the NVDA+control+f command it works but not numpad insert+control+f?

Does numpad insert work for other NVDA commands?

If not, the two likely options are that you have numlock turned on, or that you perhaps in NVDA's keyboard settings have unchecked to use "numpad insert as an NVDA modifier key".  You can get to those settings by pressing NVDA+control+k or NVDA+n then choose preferences then keyboard settings (using whichever NVDA modifier key is working).

In terms of not saving settings, NVDA has a checkbox "Save settings on exit" in its general settings (NVDA+control+g or NVDA+n then preferences then general).  As long as that is set, the current settings should be saved when you exit NVDA.  If you don't exit NVDA but rather shut the computer down, they should still be saved as long as you do shut the computer down and don't just hold the power button down or pull the power cord out etc.

If you don't have that setting enabled, you can manually save settings from the NVDA menu.

The other thing that can cause settings to change is if you save configuration profiles for different programs (NVDA+n then choose "Configuration profiles").  There's more on configuration profiles in the NVDA user guide at: http://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html?#toc79  or more in depth instructions and activities in the NVDA training material at: http://www.nvaccess.org/shop/

Kind regards

on a lap top i also have that key combo works fine.
and no i do not have the laptop layout on in nvda on my desktop.
Now as to the other question every so offten nvda goes into a read only mode.
That you can not save any settings why is this? and how can you fix it.
The only way i can fix it is by taking the half read only away from the folder.
but when i do i can not still save settings when shutting nvda down it will not come back when doing  alt control n.
So please help!!!!!!

All screen readers, including NVDA, allow you to set verbosity modes, and the default one JAWS is called Beginner.  I am not quite sure how this is controlled in NVDA and am in a hurry at the moment.  Were I you I would start a separate thread asking about how to control verbosity level when working with NVDA, as it appears to be spread across more than one set of preferences and others can help better than I can.

Have you tried disabling Report object descriptions in NVDA's object
presentation dialog?

Danni,

If by "shut off the chatter" you mean to stop NVDA from speaking
while you type, etc., you can use NVDA Key+S to toggle speech mode. I also
use the No Beeps Speech Mode NVDA add-on so that I either have speech or
silence, as there is a third feedback using beeps which I have no use for.
The NVDA Key+S is a true on/off toggle for speech if you use that add-on,
otherwise it is a cycling switch between, off, beep mode, and speech mode.
