When I fired up NVDA this morning there was an update which I installed. Sorry don’t know the version but I always update so I assume it is the latest version not a beta.
I have a Word 365 document in my Drop Box document folder. I can open it as usual with Jaws 2020 but when I try to open it with NVDA, it will not bring up the document and I get “Drop Box Window” spoken by NVDA and there is absolutely nothing I can do from there. Harrowing or tabbing or pressing enter have no effect. All I can do is close it with the system menu or alt f4. I have tried exiting and re-entering NVDA and have tried re-booting the device but no change.
This is on my Surface tablet running Win 10 Pro.
When opening the same document with NVDA on my desktop running Win 10 home, it opens and functions normally?
Stumped in Reno! LOL!

I still use u/mutorrent.
It's nota great solution but if Qbittorent has a context menu or something
you could always check the properties to make sure you know which one you
are on. Then you can remember the sequence, select the ones you want and
delete them.

Subject: [nvda] Torrents in QBitTorrent, or other accessible torrent
clients.

Hi all. I'm back with another question.


I've been using QBitTorrent for torrents, but so far as I can tell, the list
of torrents is inaccessible. So I've been using the web interface.
While that's accessible, my problem is this. Say I have, I dunno, twelve
torrents going. I want to delete seven of them. In the web interface, I have
to pick one, delete it, pick another one, delete it, and so on. Is there a
way to do this in QBitTorrent itself, so I can pick multiple torrents and
just delete them? Ideally it would also ask me if I wanted to delete the
actual data or not.


Alternatively, can anybody recommend another client that's accessible? I was
using utorrent/mu torrent, whatever it's called, but one place I check
doesn't like it anymore because it has some sort of security issue or
something. That's why I switched to QBitTorrent. It wasn't really accessible
either. You'd think a list box wouldn't be that hard but apparently torrent
client designers like to make them non-standard or something. So if
anybody's got something really accessible, I'd love to know about it. Maybe
that is QBitTorrent and I'm just missing something.

I've retitled the topic so it might get additional attention.  If someone can't help you here, consider asking on the PhonesForTheBlind group, as there are a lot of iPhone users there and iTunes has been discussed relatively frequently.

 For instance, when I connect some external media storage, like a SD card, the notification comes up for selecting how to interact with it. I can read the dialogue with NCDA Key + B. But I cannot move between selections nor confirm one. How does one do this?

Hi Gene,

Oh, so WhatsAppp Web is still usable? I am aware of the general
process of scanning the QR code and will hopefully figure out its
interface by experiment. It would be great if you could tutorial you
have written about this; it could only help.

Thanks.

Hi Bhavya Shah


I wrote a tutorial for the web version but have not put it on my website.


You will need a mobile phone with whats app on

You will need to change some settings so it points to the web version
and you will need to scan in a I think it is a qr code then it will sign
you in.

Your phone is used to do this but needs to be pointed towards the monitor.


Do not do my trick I do not have the monitor on and thought I had turned
it on maybe off then scanned the QR code but would not sign me in the
reason was the monitor was off as confirmed by the wife.

Guess that is life.


when you are in there you can use nvda to jump around and chat with your
friends and or read there messages.


At the time I did it I do not think it could do audio or video chats so
just left it on the computer. I was sure my camera is working but could
not see any settings at that time to add a camera//mike or maybe it just
can not do it as not part of the software yet.


I had just started using the mobile version so hoped it would work with
my video camera/mic on the computer.


It is a rough draft but think it was finished off but can not remember
if it covered groups as it could get confusing? depending how it was done.

I have not been back in lately to see if it has been added or tried
another camera/mic just in case.


Let us know if you want a copy of it I can post as is but a more
polished copy will go on my website when I get a little time free.

Just come in from getting the deck rails sanded, clean etc and have it
ready to paint which she is doing now.

Time for a coffee and a rest.

Dear all,

As the subject line implies, I would like to access WhatsApp on my

I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Thanks.

Hi all.

Just noticed this in the 2019.3 version of nvda.

I am using latest windows 19.9 build 815, I have noticed that when you get either a notification from windows security or something in start or get any notification at all, that has it up in a window, then you go to activation centre to clear it, while it clears there is a notification window which is empty by the way just staying there on screen.

Restarting nvda doesn't usually fix it and I have to reboot to make the thing stop.

Nvda states in the log that it is a os error and a live region error.

Fragment follows

Is this an issue with windows or an nvda issue.

If this is a issue with windows does it exist on the 2004 rc at this time or not.

If not then  I will just update when it comes time to do so as usual.

Its not a big showstopper but I have had it appear on multiple devices, on builds of windows 10 from 1903 up and I have seen it on 18 xx builds to.

Not as much but it does happen.

I think it has to do with if the notification is focused or not but mostly I don't even dismiss the notifications or move them to action centre, I just clear them out after reading.

I guess I could just turn them all off but if I do that I won't get messages and that could be a problem in of itself.

I personally use Transmission. The only issue I really have with it is
that the only thing that is read in the torrent list is the torrent
name. However, if you use OCR while the list item is highlighted, you
can read the download progress.

I run transmission-daemon on my linux box, and transmission-remote-gui on windows The.
The torrent list reads with screen review. However, you must single click on a torrent and use the pgdup/up keys to scroll. No arrow support.
