Hi Jim,
You probably need to create an account for Zoom before you are able to use it.

You don’t need an account if your intention is to sign into a room to which
you have been invited. You won’t see anything regarding settings if you
aren’t signed into a room. That is without an account. With an
account, I don’t know if there is a way to see settings.
Once you have access to the interface, you can tab around and hear things
read. There are short cuts you can use, but I almost never have used Zoom
and I don’t know them. Since I have almost never used it, I won’t go into
more discussion of how to use it.
The main thing I’m concerned with is that you know that you don’t need an
account under the conditions I specified and that you can tab around and see
various options.

Hello there,
I am having a problem where NVDA skips around on universalclass.com. I am trying to take an exam and the screen reader tends to just jump around the whole page. I would appreciate any ideas to possibly fix this. -- Scott Berry Medical Office Assistant Associates in Allied health Patient Advocate

Re: Outlook 365 and message list
Gene
To stop this really annoying and endlessly repetitious behavior, uncheck
Report table row/column headers in Document formatting settings.
Couldn’t NVDA somehow be programmed to recognize these sorts of e-mail
structures and not announce them unless the user specifies that they should be
announced? This behavior also occurs in Windows Live Mail. I haven’t
experimented with other e-mail programs.

Hi,
How do I keep NVDA 2020 from reading the header titles in the message list of Outlook? For example, it reads ‘status: unread’, ‘from: whoever’, ‘subject: the subject’, … I want the message list to act more like it does in JAWS. All JAWS does is read the entire row. Example: ‘unread. The sender the subject date received size’. NVDA seems too verbose here.

I think that project was a trial run to see what might be possible in Visual Studio 2019 and later. Most of what you want out of that project is either built into 2019 or later, or not implemented because there is no interest or a lack of community support.

Re: Q Read alternative
Chris Mullins
Hi David Thanks for the information. You have answered the question for the issue that was irritating me the most and now I understand the folder requirements for adding book sources to the library, I can amend the folder structure prior to loading SMS.
Cheers Chris

Sent: 26 March 2020 15:57 To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: Re: [nvda] Q Read alternative
I can answer the second question – yes whilst the Audio Book player is in focus go to menu and then settings and there, there is a toggle to speak track information which you can turn to on or off.
In relation to refreshing the folder path within Speak On, ,I don’t think you can or at least I have not found a way, however I have got used to habitually shutting down speak on rather than alt tabbing away from it before adding content. So this solves this issue for me. It is not a problem for me personally as on my system Speak On loads pretty quickly and the automatic bookmarking feature means that I am always where I was last reading when I return to an app anyway.
David Griffith From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Chris Mullins
Hi Isaac I saw a message on the list re SpeakOn and have downloaded it and I am extremely impressed with it’s functionality and ease of use. There are a few minor annoyances which you may or may not be able to do anything about but I thought I would seek your opinion regarding them.
Firstly, I am using Windows 10 and set up the desktop shortcut to run as administrator to avoid the UAC allow this software etc window but unfortunately, 3 of the 4 levels of UAC security trigger a different UAC message “Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?”. The only way around this is to turn UAC security off altogether, which also obviates the “run as admin” requirement. Is it possible to get the software certificated in some way to avoid this message?
Secondly, when reading an audio book, is there any way to suppress the announcement of the file names as it moves through the files making up the book? Similarly when playing Music tracks in an album or playlist?
Thirdly, this is a last minute discovery, so may be covered in the manual and I have missed it. When trying to add an RNIB flash drive containing 3 Daisy books to the Audio Book library, I had to insert another folder level via windows to the flash drive to allow me to select it and add it’s contents to the Audio Book library. When I restarted the task and initiated the Add/Library Audio Books Remove folder locations from the Settings sub-menu, The flash drive folder structure was the same as it was before I inserted the additional folder level. Is there a way to refresh the folder tree view without having to restart the app?
Cheers Chris

Hi
More information on SpeakOn based on questions on this thread and others.
SpeakOn home page is at:
http://www.speakon.org.uk/SpeakOn.html
You will find information on the media types its support, links to the docs and mailing list.
The tutorials produced by David Griffith recently found somewhere else on this thread are excellent.
Although the latest version was released in 2016 with one minor exception everything works and there are know known bugs.
SpeakOn supports English only and does not support Braille.
It does not support PDF either.
It is recommended by RNIB in the UK for reading their audio books in Daisy; SpeakOn supports Daisy 2 used mostly (I think) in Europe. It does not support Daisy 3 in the US.
Being developed in the UK it supports RNIB newspapers and magazines in test (epub) and audio.
It supports the epub format generally.
It does not support DRM as used mostly in the US
The NVDA SpeakOn add-on is not necessary to use it but makes sure that NVDA does not speakOn when SpeakOn has the focus; it does not speak much anyway and I shall release an updated version of this add-on soon to this list.
Regards
Isaac Porat
