I think there may be something wrong with the latest version of the
Dropbox add on. I just uploaded a file and while I was checking it, it
kept saying the time left was 2 plus days! It actually just took a bit
over 2 minutes to upload. I checked it several times and it kept giving
me this very weird and incorrect time. After it finished it then did say
up to date as it should. Is there something wrong with the way it reads
the remaining time?

What would be the equivalent in NVDA, for Jaws's Insert+ShiftDown arrow, in
which it tells you what text is being selected? Thanks for info.Gera

Thanks Daniel.   I honestly can't say whether this is the original developer or not, and the program is correctly spelled as Silenzio.  But even if I search on that, coupled with Bluetooth, I really get nothing useful other than this cautionary post in the JAWS for Windows Group, dating from January 2020:

https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/topic/jaws_2020_speech_issue_with/69701835?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,69701835

So, at this juncture, I would strongly advise anyone who wants to give Silenzio a whirl to manually create a restore point in System Protection as well as taking a full system image backup of their machine prior to installing it.  That way if a System Restore from the restore point fails (which happens more often than many would like to believe) you have a way to restore your system to its pre-Silenzio state.

I have a feeling that my spelling of Silencio is incorrect, but I can pull up nothing via web search on it.  I have tried NVDA with Bluetooth as search terms along with several other variants.

If anyone has the link to the site where this program can be downloaded, and preferably from its developer, would you please share it?

I found out if you do a Google search for this, “download Zoom Meeting” the first link is the download for Windows based Zoom.

Which downloads the same thing as the Zoom Client because it is the Zoom Client.   Zoom is a client-server based system and the PC side is the client.  Below are the direct links from Zoom's own Meetings webpage.

Download Zoom Mobile Apps for iPhone or Android
Download Zoom Client for Meetings

Hi all,

This morning I installed the 30-day demo of a SAPI5 synth voice, a Welsh
male called Geraint. i'd heard it before on a pair of Orcam glasses I used
to own and, since I've been living in Waels quite a long time, I love it! I
checked with their customer services that NVDA would find the voice after it
was installed, which they confirmed it would, and it did ... but when I
downloaded and installed the voice I hit a problem ... nothing is getting
spoken!

This is the product page
https://harposoftware.com/en/welsh/146-geraint-cy-welsh-voice.html

I tried re-starting NVDA but that didn't help (I had the Save configuration
setting on exit checked) though I was still able to shutdown and restart the
computer because NVDA was still using the SAPI5 voice Zira on the Windows
logon screen.

I tried using Narrator to navigate to the NVDA speech settings menu and
change the voice, but NVDA+n is a Narrator shortcut that says "No main
landmark". I tried using the speech synthesiser ring (NVDA+CTRL+left / right
arrow keys) and adjusting the value of each of the four options (which
obviously were not being spoken) to make sure I changed the synth voice but
again to no avail. When I tried restarting NVDA with CTRL+ALT+n the NVDA
startup sound was heard, but no text was spoken after that point.

In the end I managed to uninstall the new voice using Narrator in the Add
and Remove Programs feature and, after re-starting NVDA a different voice
was being used and I was able to change back to my usual Zira voice.

In these viral isolation times I don't have anybody with sight who can
assist in checking if something might be causing problems with the Harpo /
Ivona voice, but wondered if any NVDA users had experienced anything similar
at any point :)

Needless to say, I've unchecked the NVDA Save configuration on exit chekbox
so that if I try re-installing Geraint I can go back to Zira more easily if
necessary :)

Thanks for any thoughts,

Giles

I have tried to get on the Jonathon Mozen site, but I get a message that
this site cannot provide a secure connection.

Any ideas please?

Jonathan Mosen's publication is about as comprehensive as you could hope
for, and covers scheduling meetings.  Please go to his site, listed in the
previously referenced message, and read his overview of what's covered and
then download his publication.

Once NVDA is inactive for 1 minute or so, it will stop playing silence to conserve the battery life of your hearing aid.

And hearing aid wearers everywhere who also use NVDA and a Bluetooth audio connection thank you for your thoughtfulness.  (I did notice you're the developer of the add-on.)

Joseph,

Is there anything I can enter into the run dialogue directly to kill the aforementioned tasks? The task manager is being... less than cooperative at the moment.

Frankly, I think this computer is near end of life, or it is for me, but I have to hold onto it for at least another four months before I can get a better one.
