Re: New Computer- problems with NVDA response
Hi
Some times when stuff like that happens your sound enhancements
might be turned on and in most cases turning it off fixes these
problems.
I copied and pasted this from my website check to see if it is on
then turn it off. this was done on a windows 10 machine 1909 but
should be similar in earlier versions?
Disabling sound enhancements in Windows
Sometimes when there is an update for Windows, you may hear a
buzzing sound (and other strange noises) from the computer while
using NVDA.
If this is the case, you will need to turn off sound enhancements
in Windows for your sound card. The steps to turn it off may be
similar for other Windows 10 computers.
Press the Windows key, and in the search box type sound settings.
When it comes up with this result, press the Enter key. The first
option might say Choose your output device Speakers (High
Definition Audio Device). Next, tab once to device properties,
then press the Enter key. The next screen that comes up will say
home. If you tab about 7 times you will then hear NVDA say
Additional device properties. Press the enter key.
The next screen should come up with speaker properties. Shift tab
back once or twice - until you hear NVDA say General. There are 5
tabs there. Use your right arrow key to get to the enhancements
tab, then tab a couple of times until you hear NVDA say Disable
all enhancements. This should be a check box. Please note, in some
cases, after you tab once (after the enhancements tab) you might
need to arrow down or tab to locate the disable all enhancements
checkbox. You will hear other stuff for the sound card being
spoken out, but they can be left unchecked. You will need to tab
to hear the "disable enhancements" checkbox if you arrowed down
the list of enhancements and check the checkbox with the Spacebar.
You will then need to apply and ok your changes with the Spacebar.
Now, those weird buzzing sounds etcetera should be gone!

Re: New Computer- problems with NVDA response
I just bought the subscription for McAfee, so not wanting to take it off. Why would I need to? Also, as far as I know Narrator is not running, only NVDA. There’s only one voice that speaks anyway I don’t know what an add-on is so unless they install when you install NVDA, I don’t have any. I don’t use my computer with the screen off as I have some vision and watch shows or sometimes look at something like a picture, etc. So I appreciate your recommendations. But it seems like those things may not work for me.
Thanks for your help. Anna

Hello, Anna. I actually just finished working w/1 of those machines, except the client had the 13in display as opposed to the 15in 1, & it works splendidly. She absolutely loves it!
I did, however, make a few changes.
First, please ensure that Narrator & NVDA are not running concurrently, especially if they're both set to use the same voice, but it really is better to disable Narrator.
2nd, these machines all come w/Mcafee installed. My recommendation is that you get rid of it ASAP--& install Windows Defender in its place. You can get a removal tool from: http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp It says to remove it via control panel first, but the uninstaller is totally inaccessible, & it works to just use it w/o going thru the hassle of trying to get sighted help.
3rd, the only Lenovo program I left to start up at boot time was the utility program, & I'm not even sure it's worth that. I didn't uninstall these programs, but rather set their services to run manually as opposed to automatically. That way, I can check for updates if required.
Of course--& this is standard procedure for me every time I set up a computer for a blind client--I go into Ease of Access Center & click the link that says "use the computer without a display". This tends to turn off all unnecessary annimations, etc, but you may wish to check that they were all turned off by going into the system applet of control panel & then clicking 'advanced settings' & then 'performance'.
Lastly, be certain you're not using any NVDA addons at this point, &, if you are, then please disable them & see if that works if these other measures don't. If that proves to be a problem, then you can try readding them 1 by 1 until the culprit causes the machine to bog down again.
HTH. Good luck.

Re: Dropbox and MS Word templates.
I havn't had issues with dropbox and office, dropbox does update
in the background
Then again I don't run dropbox unless I need to put something in
it.
Technically most of my dropbox folders are not even updated now
but I do have a radio station, and 2 shared computer folders setup
for low traffic servicing.
Bar my own personal backups of some content its not much and I
don't personally use office though my dad has both dropbox and
google drive.
I have contemplated keybase though as it seems an interesting
thing.
With 250gb default for free, with optional encription especially
with public semi ftp access for public things and private things
to, you could seriously use it as a repository.
Now if there was a way to use keybase as a blog or something hmm.
I right now have a podcast on mixcloud and anchor but I don't
particularly like the accessibility of either platform at least
online.
Keybase may be a good place to put backups and ffiles for those
that just want them though as I said I havn't tried it.
I currently use a free domain redirect through cutt which works
though I realise I am relying on several cloud services for my
content and security and not just 1 place.

TLDR: Removing Dropbox fixes a Microsoft word problem where
Dropbox would make changes to templates in the backround.
Since I scared a few people in this coffee shop, including a
very dashing African American man, after whooping for joy at
my discovery, I’d thought I’d share it here. First, the
scenario.
The problem.
Whenever working on a template based off this macro enabled
manuscript template, no matter what file type I saved
the document in, I kept getting this random dialog box that
would pop up. The dialog box read; would you also like to save
changes to the document template? Even though I was working in
a DOCX file, not the template. Every time, I hit no. Still, it
kept popping up at random times. It aggravated me so much I
even tried asking my literary agent if she had this same
problem when working on my books. She said she didn't. Fine, I
thought. It was time to go hunting.
Microsoft Office support.
To make an extremely long story short, they weren't helpful.
This is after trying them for weeks After I explained the
problem to dozens of supervisors, they kept trying to route me
to the disability answer desk. When, I didn't have an
accessibility problem, I had a technical problem. The
disability answer desk said I had a very complex problem and
then routed me back to Office support. One supervisor at
Office support said I needed a macro reader. I explained that
didn't make any sense at all, because the macros I created
were saved in the template, in word, so they should work fine.
They still insisted I needed a macro reader. After trying a
few more Office supervisors, who all told me that I needed a
macro reader, I turned to the web.
Ever closer.
The web all said it was a Bluetooth add in that was causing
the problem, when other, sighted, users would randomly see the
same dialog box pop up when they were working on a document. I
learned this is because the Bluetooth add in for Microsoft
Office was making changes to the template in the background.
Even though I didn't have the Bluetooth add in installed, I
began looking for an add in that would mess with stuff in the
background. I also assumed this add on was working for all
word programs because this was also happening on excel
documents as well. I noticed an add on that I didn't notice
before. Drop box.
Trying to get rid of dropbox.
Seriously, I don't understand why this thing is so hard to
get rid of. The add in, not the actual program. I tried
disabling the add in. It didn't work. I tried completely
removing and installing office again, even deleting leftover
files and registry items. It didn't work. It still had the add
in when I installed Office again. I tried navigating to the
path and deleting the DLL file. Maybe if it couldn't find its
file, it wouldn't start. It created a backup. I deleted the
backup DLL file. It still worked the next time I booted up
word.
I then finally, completely, removed Drop box from my system.
Problem fixed. The add in didn't magically appear, nor install
itself. I tried moving my portable apps to one drive, but one
drive isn't made for portable programs, I'm learning. It syncs
incredibly slow for file types other than text files. This
isn't good for email clients like Thunderbird. It also takes
forever to update program folders.
After apologizing to my friends that I've shared folders
with, I deactivated drop box on this work computer.
I moved all my documents to OneDrive. Couldn't be happier. No
system limitations. No activation limitations, as far as I can
tell. And, it syncs really fast when I boot up my other
writing laptops. Lastly, my literary agent is happy. She uses
it and Google Drive. Best part? It doesn’t push program add
ins at you every few days. Others will have no clue drop box
has a word add in. I don't know how it installed to begin
with. I certainly didn't authorize it, and I'm pretty tech
savvy, even though I can't code to save my life.

I explained that didn't make any sense at all, because the macros I created were saved in the template, in word, so they should work fine. They still insisted I needed a macro reader. After trying a few more Office supervisors, who all told me that I needed a macro reader, I turned to the web.
Ever closer.
The web all said it was a Bluetooth add in that was causing the problem, when other, sighted, users would randomly see the same dialog box pop up when they were working on a document. I learned this is because the Bluetooth add in for Microsoft Office was making changes to the template in the background.
Even though I didn't have the Bluetooth add in installed, I began looking for an add in that would mess with stuff in the background. I also assumed this add on was working for all word programs because this was also happening on excel documents as well. I noticed an add on that I didn't notice before. Drop box.
Trying to get rid of dropbox.
Seriously, I don't understand why this thing is so hard to get rid of. The add in, not the actual program. I tried disabling the add in. It didn't work. I tried completely removing and installing office again, even deleting leftover files and registry items. It didn't work. It still had the add in when I installed Office again. I tried navigating to the path and deleting the DLL file. Maybe if it couldn't find its file, it wouldn't start. It created a backup. I deleted the backup DLL file. It still worked the next time I booted up word.
I then finally, completely, removed Drop box from my system. Problem fixed. The add in didn't magically appear, nor install itself. I tried moving my portable apps to one drive, but one drive isn't made for portable programs, I'm learning. It syncs incredibly slow for file types other than text files. This isn't good for email clients like Thunderbird. It also takes forever to update program folders.
After apologizing to my friends that I've shared folders with, I deactivated drop box on this work computer.
I moved all my documents to OneDrive. Couldn't be happier. No system limitations. No activation limitations, as far as I can tell. And, it syncs really fast when I boot up my other writing laptops. Lastly, my literary agent is happy. She uses it and Google Drive. Best part? It doesn’t push program add ins at you every few days. Others will have no clue drop box has a word add in. I don't know how it installed to begin with. I certainly didn't authorize it, and I'm pretty tech savvy, even though I can't code to save my life.

Dropbox and MS Word templates.
TLDR: Removing Dropbox fixes a Microsoft word problem where Dropbox would make changes to templates in the backround.
Since I scared a few people in this coffee shop, including a very dashing African American man, after whooping for joy at my discovery, I’d thought I’d share it here. First, the scenario.
The problem.
Whenever working on a template based off this macro enabled manuscript template, no matter what file type I saved the document in, I kept getting this random dialog box that would pop up. The dialog box read; would you also like to save changes to the document template? Even though I was working in a DOCX file, not the template. Every time, I hit no. Still, it kept popping up at random times. It aggravated me so much I even tried asking my literary agent if she had this same problem when working on my books. She said she didn't. Fine, I thought. It was time to go hunting.
Microsoft Office support.
To make an extremely long story short, they weren't helpful. This is after trying them for weeks After I explained the problem to dozens of supervisors, they kept trying to route me to the disability answer desk. When, I didn't have an accessibility problem, I had a technical problem. The disability answer desk said I had a very complex problem and then routed me back to Office support. One supervisor at Office support said I needed a macro reader.

New Computer- problems with NVDA response
I posted this in the NVDA chat list, and was advised to post it here in the main list:
I just got a new computer. Ando had issues with the initial setup, like when the computer first turned on the very first time and it was asking me to get things set up, and it had voice already- I guess it was narrator, it would stop responding and had to keep restarting multiple times. And then when setup process was finished I have had the following issue. Not sure if I should contact someone, and if so who. Or is there something that is just related to NVDA or what. Help and ideas are greatly appreciated. I got this computer through Walmart, by the way.

I am pasting the info of the computer I got. And hoping someone could help me figure out what to do. NVDA is installed and I have had problems. A lot of the time NVDA just doesn’t talk or it responds very very slowly, for example I press tab or down arrow on a website, or on desktop or wherever and after 7-8seconds it speaks next line or item... also, when this happens I have only one application running, or it’s on desktop and have nothing open. Ideas??

I think NVDA has a memory leak or something
I am running 2019.3 on a windows 10 laptop.
I was jumping around in some Firefox pages and had been doing
so for about 30 minutes or so. I went through a lot of pages.
After a while my system suddenly became very sluggish and
then almost locked up. It also started blowing more hot air
than usual and I had to power down and reboot to get it to
straighten up. It is running cool again and no sluggishness.
Any thoughts?

Re: Sentence nav: I can not read the previous sentence in some documents using notepad ++
I am sure I am using object review.
As I said, the previous version does not behave that way, so it
seems to be a problem related to the current version.

Then you are evidently using
object navigation and that isn't the cause of the problem. If
you are using the desktop layout, you can check this in the
following manner:
Hold the numpad insert and press
numpad one to move one way through the available review
modes. Numpad insert numpad 7 will move you the other way.
If you use these two commands, you can find object review and
stop there if you want to be completely sure.

Hi, folks!
There's something quite annoying going on here: when I try to
read the
previous sentence on a document using notepad ++, it reads the
current
sentence instead of reading the previous one.
Is there someone there having the same issue?
I tried to use notepad from windows, but sentence nav is too
slow on it.
It takes about four seconds to read each sentence.
I have NVDA 2019.3.1 and last sentence nav's version available

Re: Change in CTRL+Backspace behavior in MS-Word, but not Notepad or Outlook
Hmmm I wander if this is a word issue if someone has contacted
the microsoft guy supposedly on the win10 list.
I think his name is shuching, he doesn't often send at all, but
pops up from time to time when a problem is really bad.
So while I am unsure if he is on this list to, its possible he
allready knows about it and is doing something about it without
telling us.
I do wander if someone can do feadback to microsoft or ring
microsoft access and report this.

Making a Speech Profile with Two Different SAPI 5 Settings?
Hello, I have my main synth as an SAPI voice and I have another SAPI voice that I use for showing sighted users what's going on with NVDA. One is rate 75, and the other is rate 40. How do I make 2 different speech profiles with the SAPI 5 speech engine? When I try to do it, the voice is the same from one profile to the next. I can make a profile with 2 different speech engines, but not 2 with SAPI 5. This is NVDA 2019.3. Thank you,

Re: Sentence nav: I can not read the previous sentence in some documents using notepad ++
I didn't say he wasn't using the application

don't understand what I'm saying. IU'm saying that I have seen
circumstances when someone is using the application cursor but is in screen
review. You can do that in NVDA. I'm saying that there are cases
when you won't see what is expected if you are in screen review and use the
application cursor.
I didn't say my proposal was the solution.
But since it takes almost no time to make sure which screen review mode you are
using, I thought it was worht suggesting. Since I've seen this, I proposed
it as the possible cause.

There is no PC cursor. That is a JAWS name for more or less the

review and object review? If you are using screen review, you will get
unexpected and unwanted results in some situations. You should always
switch to object review after you finish using a different review
mode. If you don't know about these modes and have never changed them,
you are probably using object navigation.

I have never used the add-on you are using but even so, be sure you are in
object navigation unless the add-on explicitly says you should be in
something else.

Hi, folks!
There's something quite annoying going on
here: when I try to read the previous sentence on a document using
notepad ++, it reads the current sentence instead of reading the
previous one.
Is there someone there having the same
issue?
I tried to use notepad from windows, but sentence nav is too
slow on it. It takes about four seconds to read each
sentence.
I have NVDA 2019.3.1 and last sentence nav's version
available on githup.
Thank you so
much!

Then you are evidently using object navigation and that isn't
the cause of the problem. If you are using the desktop layout,
you can check this in the following manner:
Hold the numpad insert and press numpad one to move one way
through the available review modes. Numpad insert numpad 7 will
move you the other way. If you use these two commands, you can
find object review and stop there if you want to be completely
sure.

Re: Sentence nav: I can not read the previous sentence in some documents using notepad ++
2,7 mb.
Using NVDA 2019.2.1 and sentence nav 2.5 it reads right away. It
must bug some bug on the current version.
I think the best option for me is to use a portable version of
NVDA 2019.2.1 and sentence nav 2.5 until it's fixed. I only need
to use it when I study, so it's not so annoying.

Gene, why you answer to questions you are not familiarized?
Daniel, how big are the files you try to read in NotePad? I
have tried with a 1MB file and it tooks between 1 and 2 seconds
to start reading a sentence or phrase...
