Correct me if I am wrong, but the vocalizer expressive part of the addon works fine, does it not?

Re: Fw: Action required for users of Windows Live Mail 2012
Supanut, I find it hard to believe that MS has not implemented a "new email arrival" sound by now, but apparently they have not. Perhaps the following, which I snagged from a post on answers.microsoft.com, might serve as a work-around: -------------------------------------------------------- I don't if there is a newer thread but, in Win 7/64 it is possible to set an alert sound. it will; however, negate the other rules in the Hotmail properties folder. Home panel in Outlook Click Rules dropdown Click Manage Rules Click Change Rule on first rule in list in the list or, if no rules then click New Rule Click Play a Sound (you can use sound recorder that’s built in to record a short sound and save it) Locate the sound in the browser pop up window Follow the rest of the prompts (OK on the server warning) Next, finish and apply etc. Send yourself a test email This is how mine is setup and works fine. -------------------------------------------------------- Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. ~ Henry Rosovsky

Re: [TechTalk] Alert Windows Live Mail users, scam email warning
I agree, but only if Microsoft makes whatever access method they've cooked up public, and one hopes before the drop dead date. This decision by Microsoft is one of those that truly and utterly mystifies me. It's one of those "solution in search of a problem" type things. Email access methods have been mature and stable for years now. Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. ~ Henry Rosovsky

Re: Suggestion to moderators
Gene, I have no doubt what you say is true. I also have no doubt that this is because of the persistence in belief in information that was once accurate but is no longer and has not been for a while. Far greater than 99% of the world operates using HTML e-mail and has done so for a very long time now. Any modern e-mail client has significant protections against execution of malicious code via HTML. I did ask groups.io specifically whether they had implemented any scanning of attachments and the answer at this time is no, and I'm guessing that's because this site really is still in its infancy. Most web-based e-mail services and online forums will actually virus scan what you're attaching before they even allow it to go out. Google does this routinely for anything attached to Google mail and uploaded to Google Drive, for but one example. I also asked several group moderators whether attachments were going to be enabled because, as of the moment, only the Windows 10 for Screen Reader Users group has that feature turned on, and all have declined. I can't make anyone do anything, but I can say that the paranoia (and that's truly what it is) about HTML e-mail and attachments that I'm seeing is virtually exclusively limited to the groups I've joined on groups.io. The world is simply not the same as it was 5 years ago, or even 5 months ago, when it comes to security patches to operating systems and e-mail client programs after specific exploits have been identified. Not using HTML e-mail and forbidding attachments in this day and age is cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. ~ Henry Rosovsky

Re: Suggestion to moderators

Many lists did not allow html messages for security
reasons. Whether this is changing or not, I don't know but even three
years ago, almost every list I was on did not allow html messages and converted
them to text. In addition, most list didn't, and I would think still
don't, allow attachments for security reasons.

Re: Translation add-on
Waqas Ramzan
Hi! Yes you are right! The addon has stopped working because of following reason:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The instant translate addon uses Google Translate API to translate text across language. Now Google has changed the API and the addon can't use it. The addon can't work until Google change the API again or the addon author find another translate API. I don't think that there is an alternative addon available at this time. I suggest you to use other translation software such as QTranslate. Hope that will help! Best Regards!

Hello Isaac!
Regarding the problem with Vocalizer for NVDA from Tiflotecnia, please contact us, since it is possible to have both products in the same NVDA installation. Regards, Rui Fontes Tiflotecnia, Lda. -----Mensagem Original----- De: Isaac Data: sexta-feira, 6 de maio de 2016 11:00 Para: nvda@nvda.groups.io Assunto: [nvda] code factory addons Hi, to the moderators of the list, why do you allow and advertise the codefactory addon if it is so buggy. Many have complained, and no answers have been given. Just about everyone who has bought the addon has complained of sound crackling, and I have a super complaint. When I install the addon it kills my other vocalizer addon, and removes it from the synthesizer list. Are you guys just not giving a care because you get 10% of the sale, or what. People spend good money for a voice and they expect it to work. I appreciate nvda and the work put in to it, it works great, but these people are slow to respond to tickets, and if you call them during over-seas business hours, the tech support team says they will open a trouble ticket and plays dumb like the issue hasn't hardly been reported

Re: Fw: Action required for users of Windows Live Mail 2012
Right now I'm trying to get use to the Outlook.com interface, to prepare myself in an event that WLM2012 stops working. The Skype intigration in the interface is a great feature that those of you who use Skype should appreciate. One feature that I'd wish Microsoft would implement is sound notifications for new emails. Right now I only rely on the new email sound from my iPhone.

As I said before, I believe on this list, just
because the change is going to be made has nothing to do with whether this
message is legitimate. If the message, which I no longer have, asks people
to click on links, they may be taken to a malicious site where they are asked to
give information that will allow hackers to look at or take over their
account. or the page may attempt to download something malicious to their
computer or both.
For all we know, the Active X control may try to download something malicious onto a computer. Whether it can do so in most cases or not, the message may be attempting to be malicious. Gene ----- Original Message -----

Mail 2012 1. its no secret, microsoft would really to kill their live app moving everything to universals and their win10 app medium. 2. as early as last year there is no secret on them killing live mail and live in general. 3. hotmail is part of their outlook site which is also part of their business thing. 4. everying is a service model which makes sence. So as far as it being an actual spam its a pritty piss poor one at that. Even if it isn't fact that links in it point to official ms articles put it to be a mostly true mail. Pluss everything it states are known there is no secret. Ms is trying to fix their mail app to. That doesn't mean I will use it but still. Even if its not true in some respects most of it is no secret for users.

Re: Fw: Action required for users of Windows Live Mail 2012
For me, rather than changing my default email account and stick with Windows Live Mail, I would just try to adapt to the change. Let's face it, in today's tech world nothing can remain the same forever. Until now I've resisted upgrading to Windows 10 but I've decided that the day must come when I have to say 'good-bye' to Jaws and Windows 7. It would be a good idea if someone could make a NVDA tutorial on how to use Outlook.com, so that people will feel more comfortable, knowing that there is at least a training manual for Outlook.com.
