Re: Changing from espeak?
Gene
No one said E-Speak would no longer be used.
List members were simply expressing their opinions concerning E-Speak and
whether it should be used..

Re: NVDA Mouse Navigation on the Start Menu in Win10
Kostadin, Thank you very much. This will certainly fill the immediate need, and in a way better than what I was trying to do. That being said, I'd still like to know if something about what I was trying to get NVDA to do was being done incorrectly or if we have a bug here. Brian

Re: NVDA Mouse Navigation on the Start Menu in Win10
Hello Brian, To remove a tile from the Start menu, press the Applications key for the context menu and from it choose "Unpin from Start". To move a tile around in the Start menu grid (the one on the right), use Alt+Shift+The Arrow Keys. There are probably other keyboard commands for the Start menu,
but I don't know them all. If you are interested, you might search
for "Keyboard commands in Windows 10" on the internet - that will
probably show a lot of useful results. ;) ______ На 27.4.2016 г. в 18:41, Brian Vogel

NVDA Mouse Navigation on the Start Menu in Win10
I was just trying to get the step-by-step instructions put together to tell someone how to name or rename a group on the Start Menu, but NVDA is behaving erratically (unless I'm doing some thing wrong). I hit the WinKey to bring up the Start Menu, arrow down once then arrow right once to get myself on the "Life at a Glance" group, and this is announced. In order to change a group name, any group name, you must left click on that group name to throw focus in to the edit box for the group name. On my first try things went precisely as expected. I used NVDA+NumPad Divide to move the mouse to the current navigator object, which was the group name that NVDA had announced I'd landed on, then hit NumPad Divide to left click on it and was immediately thrown into the edit box for that group name. However, if I continue to move around through tiles and land on other Group Names I am getting behavior I can't explain as far as moving the mouse pointer to the current navigator object. I would presume, perhaps incorrectly, that the current navigator object is what NVDA announces to me that it's landed on and that I can see has a dashed outline box surrounding it that would indicate this is what has system focus, too. However, when I then try the NVDA+NumPad Divide to route the mouse cursor to current navigator object it often lands on another object altogether. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, if anything, and don't want to file a bug report unless I'm certain that I'm not doing anything wrong. If anyone has experience with manipulating the start menu with NVDA to do things like renaming groups, removing tiles, etc., could you tell me what I'm doing wrong here if anything? Brian

Hi,
I have a question regarding the Codefactory synthesizer for NVDA? If there is a problem with the synthesizer, how good is the technical support? I'm considering getting those voices in addition to the Acapela voices for NVDA. How good are the two when compared? Thanks Chris

Re: NVA ignoring aria-hidden in IE 11 and Edge
Hi, I have forwarded your query to the developers. Cheers, Joseph
From: grady.mcghee@... [mailto:grady.mcghee@...]
It appears to be isolated when NVDA is using IE or Edge as I am not having this in Chrome.
Here is my code for our HTML5 video player:
<video id="view-video" controls> <source src="#" type="#"> <span aria-hidden="true">Your browser does not support the video tag.</span> </video>
Despite putting a <span> with an aria-hidden=”true”, NVDA will still read “Your browser does not support the video tag.” while the video is loading. Once the video is loaded, it will play. For some reason when using IE, NVDA will not ignore that text. It does not read it when using Chrome nor does VoiceOver read it. Is this an old bug that didn;t get fully fixed. I remember an issue aria-hidden in NVDA 2014 but thought is was fixed in 2015.

Re: duplicate messages
Gene
GMail does not send you a copy unless you use the
recent command. As I understand it, groups.io has developed a work around
for this problem but I know very little about that. But the person is not
saying that she gets duplicates of her messages. She says that she gets
duplicates of a lot of messages, period. If she only got duplicates of her
messages, I expect that would be stipulated and it would be such a minor problem
that it might not even have been brought up.

Re: duplicate messages
Gene
If you are saying that the e-mail program being
used or the web interface is the likely problem, I doubt it. There are
many technical problems that can occur between the sender and receiver. I
don't have the technical knowledge to discuss them. but I doubt the actual
e-mail program being used nor the server from which mail is being downloaded is
the cause of the problem. As I said, I've seen people who were receiving
duplicate messages report that the problem disappeared by itself. If this
doesn't happen in a reasonable amount of time, I don't have suggestions as to
how to pursue it, but there may be nothing necessary to do but to wait a number
of days.

Re: Fillable PDF Forms & NVDA

I've never had much luck with pdfs generally, though way back last year one form from the BBC announced it was tagged and it worked as you would expect. I no longer have this form so cannot really say what they did to make it work.

Seems to me nowadays that so many forms are built with third party software and nobody bothers to tag reading order for anything that my usual response when i get a pdf is to ask for a word version instead.

I downloaded the tax year 2015 (as in should have been filed on April 18th 2016) version of the 1040EZ and I still get the same result in Adobe Reader DC. So, I decided to try a form that I'd customized in Microsoft Word for a client about a year and a half ago where every blessed field (or at least the ones I set up in the demo form - I didn't complete the myriad checkboxes that the paper version contains) has alternate text and help text. If I open this in Word and have NVDA running it does precisely what I think it should do: Announces the alternate text when I land in the form field and, if I hit F1, displays the help text box and reads its contents. I have to believe that either the IRS forms are not set up correctly to be accessible or else there's something that doesn't "play well together" between Adobe Reader DC and NVDA. If I hit NVDA+TAB in anything I've tried so far I do not get the field name announced.
