People aren't saying the entire operating system is
bad. The message said sounds like another reason not to upgrade.
Like it or not, there are legitimate concerns about Windows 10. Forced
security updates make sense. Forced driver updates cause continuing
problems for some users. I know of one user who cannot use the Microsoft
drivers for a sound card. Yet every time he installs another driver that
works, Microsoft replaces it.
There are privacy concerns about the amount of data
Windows 10 collects. I've read about some other concerns. Whether
those concerns are things that will give people pause when deciding whether to
upgrade is up to the individual.
But Windows 10 is not the ideal
operating system. It has many features many people like. But you
appear either not to know about them or to dismiss them. They are valid
concerns.

There are certain things that only work with Edge
regardless of whether you had a choice before. Recently, Microsoft made
certain things use Edge regardless of what is set as the default
browser. There may only be two of these things. I know one had
something to do with search, perhaps searching somehow in the start
menu. Whatever the case, if you set another browser as the default and
something brings up Edge, then you probably have no choice but to do whatever
you want to do directly from within the browser you want to use.

Greetings,
I
find Edge very slow, it takes few mins to have voice feedback when it is
launched. I tried to get rid of it and make Firefox the default but it
comes back in certain situations. Is there a way to completely disabled
it? I prefer using Firefox even though lately it is having problem with

There is more than
just speed to consider. Firefox still uses a different interface and it
is a more convenient interface. Chrome shows all sorts of things such as
history and settings as web pages. Firefox has a lot more add ons.
Firefox has a document reading feature that blind people can use. I
tried using a Chrome add on for this purpose and I couldn't use it. I
don't know if there are other Chrome add ons that implement this
feature.
It appears to me
that Chrome hasn't even put short cut commands on some or many of its menu
items. That sore of thing is and has been standard since the
mid-nineties.

Hi listers
ken here have a vexing problem. on two local radio stations namely
WOLD-lp, and WMGQ in NJ I can’t seem to find the listen live. on
WOLD the problem is simpler. the listen live appears as a heading,
but not as a link, clickable graphic or button just the words listen
live. this is the only way to listen to the station without tunein
radio since they have change from a winamp based stream to a flash based
popup player. they have changed stream providors. what must
they do to make there stream appear as a link and not just the words
listen live? then on Magic 98.3 the problem is even stranger.
in order to listen to all greater-media owned stations you must register
for their listener clubs. in the case of magic 98.3 additionally you
are only able to listen to them if you live in NJ, Pa area. same
with active rock station WDHA in dover NJ. must assume the same
condition is true with WRAT the jersey shore based rocker. I have
tried on three different browsers to log into the station and the listen
live is nowhere. no button, no links, no graphics. there are
listen links connected to interviews/features but not the stream.
didn’t try the word play but no play buttons exist then just now using the
edge browser with NVDA clearly hit the letter f found the edit field, but
when entered the stupid site thought Oh you searched for your email
address, sorry no such thing. so edge is obviously out since NVDA
can’t seem to focus on the right edit field. so my question is this,
how do I advise the webmasters of both radio stations? especially
magic 98.3 since I’m technically a music club member? the websites
for both are www.woldradio.com for oldies 107.9
and www.magic983.com for WMGQ.
perhaps someone with partial sight can advise on this one. is it a
fix on my end possibly?

There are some settings to go directly to the desktop after boot, and a few other settings you may find helpful. The main settings applet is p c settings.

The apps thing is a big list of all the programs installed on your computer. You can navigate using down and up arrow keys. Use the application key for pinning to start screen / etc. I like the start screen, kind of like a second desktop. I unpinned every thing from it and just pinned what I wanted up there. I just have recycle bin on the desktop. Recycle bin can be hidden or removed from the desktop I think.
I don't care for the file manager with the search! I mean come on how many search boxes do we really need?
I'll even go as far as I like the start screen better than the start menus from 98 and up. It's the greatest thing m s has done in a long while.

browsing with edge, and finding links that aren't
links
Hi listers
ken here have a vexing problem. on two local radio stations namely
WOLD-lp, and WMGQ in NJ I can’t seem to find the listen live. on
WOLD the problem is simpler. the listen live appears as a heading,
but not as a link, clickable graphic or button just the words listen
live. this is the only way to listen to the station without tunein
radio since they have change from a winamp based stream to a flash based
popup player. they have changed stream providors. what must
they do to make there stream appear as a link and not just the words
listen live? then on Magic 98.3 the problem is even stranger.
in order to listen to all greater-media owned stations you must register
for their listener clubs. in the case of magic 98.3 additionally you
are only able to listen to them if you live in NJ, Pa area. same
with active rock station WDHA in dover NJ. must assume the same
condition is true with WRAT the jersey shore based rocker. I have
tried on three different browsers to log into the station and the listen
live is nowhere. no button, no links, no graphics. there are
listen links connected to interviews/features but not the stream.
didn’t try the word play but no play buttons exist then just now using the
edge browser with NVDA clearly hit the letter f found the edit field, but
when entered the stupid site thought Oh you searched for your email
address, sorry no such thing. so edge is obviously out since NVDA
can’t seem to focus on the right edit field. so my question is this,
how do I advise the webmasters of both radio stations? especially
magic 98.3 since I’m technically a music club member? the websites
for both are www.woldradio.com for oldies 107.9
and www.magic983.com for WMGQ.
perhaps someone with partial sight can advise on this one. is it a
fix on my end possibly?

Hi Gene,
Cortana results come up in Edge regardless of which browser you have set as your default. Good News! NVDA can access the information in Edge that Cortana gives you when you talk to her. Cortana can already do much more than Siri on an iPhone, so we should all take advantage of her on our win10 computers. For example, I ask cortana to give me the baseball scores, and Cortana said the scores of the games that were live at that time. However, I used NVDA just with the arrow keys to read all of the scores, final or for games that were still being played. This is powerful. I asked Cortana to give me information on the election, and Cortana read an article to me, but there were many more articls to read in the results in Edge. It is really time to take Cortana seriously, because we can already use her to do more than Siri can do. This is why it is important to read those results in the Edge browser, and guess what? NVDA can access Edge five times better than JAWS. I use both screen readers, and JAWS cannot do anything with Edge like NVDA can. Take care, and love Edge, because that is the only browser that Cortana can put her results in, and that information is indeed accessible with NVDA. Take care, all.

There are certain things that only work with Edge regardless of whether you had a choice before. Recently, Microsoft made certain things use Edge regardless of what is set as the default browser. There may only be two of these things. I know one had something to do with search, perhaps searching somehow in the start menu. Whatever the case, if you set another browser as the default and something brings up Edge, then you probably have no choice but to do whatever you want to do directly from within the browser you want to use.

There is more than just speed to consider. Firefox still uses a different interface and it is a more convenient interface. Chrome shows all sorts of things such as history and settings as web pages.

Just because Edge isn't yet accessible to us screen readers yet
doesn't mean WIN 10 is not bad. I'm actually getting sick and
tired of seeing comments like this on this list. Just because 1
piece of software doesn't work don't mean the whole OS is crap.
Grow up you all and do your research befor upgrading or buying a
WIN 10 PC.

[nvda] browsing with edge, and
finding links that aren't links
Hi
listers ken here have a vexing
problem. on two local radio
stations namely WOLD-lp, and WMGQ
in NJ I can’t seem to find the
listen live. on WOLD the problem
is simpler. the listen live
appears as a heading, but not as a
link, clickable graphic or button
just the words listen live. this
is the only way to listen to the
station without tunein radio since
they have change from a winamp
based stream to a flash based
popup player. they have changed
stream providors. what must they
do to make there stream appear as
a link and not just the words
listen live? then on Magic 98.3
the problem is even stranger. in
order to listen to all
greater-media owned stations you
must register for their listener
clubs. in the case of magic 98.3
additionally you are only able to
listen to them if you live in NJ,
Pa area. same with active rock
station WDHA in dover NJ. must
assume the same condition is true
with WRAT the jersey shore based
rocker. I have tried on three
different browsers to log into the
station and the listen live is
nowhere. no button, no links, no
graphics. there are listen links
connected to interviews/features
but not the stream. didn’t try
the word play but no play buttons
exist then just now using the edge
browser with NVDA clearly hit the
letter f found the edit field, but
when entered the stupid site
thought Oh you searched for your
email address, sorry no such
thing. so edge is obviously out
since NVDA can’t seem to focus on
the right edit field. so my
question is this, how do I advise
the webmasters of both radio
stations? especially magic 98.3
since I’m technically a music club
member? the websites for both are
www.woldradio.com
for oldies 107.9 and www.magic983.com
for WMGQ. perhaps someone with

Question, Does anyone have audio books on their iTunes account? If so, how do you navigate the audio books section in iTunes 12.4?
|

Based upon the search results at the Github trouble ticket page for NVDA: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues there is not anything reported related to that release of iTunes. You should always take a quick look there and add a keyword or keywords to the search criteria box that would get you specific open issues, not all open issues, which is the default. You, and NVDA, are apparently not alone with issues with the new release of iTunes. There is a thread entitled, New iTunes and latest version of JAWS, on the BlindTech forum that might interest you.

Re: next release of nvda:
Hi Gene, Oddly enough, I received your mail thrice. Anyways, it being NVDA's 10th anniversary, NV Access had indicated a potential delay in releasing NVDA 2015.2, and that is confirmed by a slightly late translation freeze. All the same, we hopefully will have NVDA 2016.2 live soon enough. Thanks.

hi Shaun
The apps thing is a big list of all the programs installed on your computer. You can navigate using down and up arrow keys. Use the application key for pinning to start screen / etc. I like the start screen, kind of like a second desktop. I unpinned every thing from it and just pinned what I wanted up there. I just have recycle bin on the desktop. Recycle bin can be hidden or removed from the desktop I think.
I don't care for the file manager with the search! I mean come on how many search boxes do we really need?
I'll even go as far as I like the start screen better than the start menus from 98 and up. It's the greatest thing m s has done in a long while.

There are certain things that only work with Edge regardless of whether you had a choice before. Recently, Microsoft made certain things use Edge regardless of what is set as the default browser.

Hi listers ken here have a vexing problem. on two local radio stations namely WOLD-lp, and WMGQ in NJ I can’t seem to find the listen live. on WOLD the problem is simpler. the listen live appears as a heading, but not as a link, clickable graphic or button just the words listen live. this is the only way to listen to the station without tunein radio since they have change from a winamp based stream to a flash based popup player. they have changed stream providors. what must they do to make there stream appear as a link and not just the words listen live? then on Magic 98.3 the problem is even stranger. in order to listen to all greater-media owned stations you must register for their listener clubs. in the case of magic 98.3 additionally you are only able to listen to them if you live in NJ, Pa area. same with active rock station WDHA in dover NJ. must assume the same condition is true with WRAT the jersey shore based rocker. I have tried on three different browsers to log into the station and the listen live is nowhere. no button, no links, no graphics. there are listen links connected to interviews/features but not the stream. didn’t try the word play but no play buttons exist then just now using the edge browser with NVDA clearly hit the letter f found the edit field, but when entered the stupid site thought Oh you searched for your email address, sorry no such thing. so edge is obviously out since NVDA can’t seem to focus on the right edit field. so my question is this, how do I advise the webmasters of both radio stations? especially magic 98.3 since I’m technically a music club member? the websites for both are www.woldradio.com for oldies 107.9 and www.magic983.com for WMGQ. perhaps someone with partial sight can advise on this one. is it a fix on my end possibly?
