Re: Google Docs Menu Issue

wow, thanks! I don't think I need proper tutorials.. I have friends who can help, but this is the first time I had to use Docs after many years, and, though I have Screen Reader support enabled, I didn't know I could enable braille.

The NVDA Chat Subgroup - An Introduction (Announcement Only)
Hello All,
Every once in a great while it doesn't hurt to post a reminder about the existence of same, as newer members may not be aware of its existence. Here's the group description: The Chat Subgroup is dedicated to the discussion of anything its members want to discuss. There are no topic restrictions. Many topics have a technical focus on configuring or controlling specific programs where how to use them, not using NVDA itself, is the primary focus. Others are purely social in nature. The Chat Subgroup allows those members of the NVDA community who wish to engage in discussions not focused on NVDA to do so and to keep those conversations separate from the main NVDA group. The bulk of the conversations on the Chat Subgroup have trended toward discussions of how to use a given piece of software - how to get to specific settings, etc. - that have nothing to do with which screen reader you're using, per se. But, within the bounds of civility, pretty much any topic anyone wishes is allowed there. It's a way that members of the community can discuss any sort of non-NVDA topic with other members of the community who have joined and wish to participate in those.

Re: SoundForge Users On This List

I am currently using version 11 and have used nine for years and didn’t have any issues. However, I do have a few questions as well. I had to move to a Windows ten pro. Computer. A program called Sonar and cake walk don’t work in that environment. It it possible to do multi-track recordings in Soundforge 11 and above? I would be very greatful to carry on this conversation off line if allowed so as not to clog up this list with too many questions. Thanks in advance.

Re: how to find the play button?
When I visit: https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/state-parole-board-releasing-twice-the-amount-of-prisoners-to-ease-crowding-amid-pandemic
I cannot get NVDA to find that play control, either. If I hover the mouse over it, NVDA announces, "To get missing image descriptions, open the context menu." And that is whether it's the initial one, or if I start playing, pause the video, and the subsequent play arrow shows in the center. I also have never seen an embedded video player that uses this style elsewhere. I have no idea how to get at the context menu to which NVDA is making reference, as if I do SHIFT+F10 I get the standard browser context menu which has nothing to do with unlabeled images or getting image descriptions. I am using Brave when doing this testing. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: Converting JAWS Dictionaries

Is that a reasonable assumption though?Sure it is. But even if it isn't, I don't work for NVAccess, and I don't code in python. When someone's offered to do something, for free, that you want done then you can either accept or decline. If someone else wants to step up to do this, then have at it. I presume someone asking for this sort of thing has been a long term JAWS user, who has compiled an extensive dictionary, and does not want to have to start over again from scratch when starting to use NVDA. So far, based on those who've contacted me, that presumption has been valid. And you've been around long enough to have seen me make the statement that any screen reader user should have at least basic competence in a screen reader other than their preferred one. With NVDA and Narrator available, JAWS users have no excuse, and with Narrator available NVDA users have no excuse. There are times when any screen reader "doesn't play well" with a given thing that another screen reader will. It's gonna happen, so it makes sense to be prepared for when it does. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

NVDA - accessible python environment
uwtcat@...
Moderator Note: I am allowing this to go out to the group because the sort of information requested is very difficult to find, and this is a group on which certain members may have the expertise to guide appropriately. The other day, Tyler Spivey recommended that another member asking detailed questions in regard to python programming look at the list here: https://www.freelists.org/list/program-l. I advise this poster to do the same. I will promptly lock the topic, as it is not meaningfully NVDA related. Please respond to the original poster using the Reply to Sender link at the end of the message. - Brian Vogel - Anat Caspi, PhD

How many people use both Jaws and NVDA? Haven't you yourself advised having more than one screen reader, on the multiple tools theory? Wouldn't it therefore make more sense as an add-on that scans Jaws dictionaries on the system, and updates NVDA's dictionary on startup? Or vice-versa, if that's possible? Luke
