Hello!


If you are using Tiflotecnia's Vocalizer Expressive voices, the pitch increase for capital letters work as advertised.


If you are using our Vocalizer voices version 2.0, based on Vocalizer Automotive, there are no possibility of pitch changing, so it is necessary to use the bips or say caps options to anounce capital letters.


If you are using Vocalizer voices from CodeFactory, check if you have not checked the option to be the driver to control the pitch...

Re: nvda and windows explorer

Try using the read status line command.  Using the desktop layout, it is NVDA key end.  I don't know if Windows 10 has a status line in File Explorer.  My recollection is that this command works in Windows 7 and I'm sure it does in XP.  Try it in various contexts when you want information.

Well that is one way to do it.
The issue is it searches for and clears everything on all drives and that may not be necessary unless your system and your accounts are on different drives.

I have a win7 system like this.

However, the easiest way to handle that is to.

1.  type disk in search.

right click disk cleanup and run as admin.

If you have 2 drives, you may find the second drive may not have that much on it.

On the os drive, the most important things that will take space are.

1.  windows update and device drivers especially for display drivers you have installed.

My amd has frequent updates for its drivers.

2.  windows installations.

Only do that if you are happy with your build though and want to kill them.

They will kill themselves within a 10 day period.

At least that was what it was when I last looked into that.

Saying that, if you have one of those dinkey tablets with little space, you will probably want to immediately delete that so you can put everything back.

I honestly don't know how people can use 16-32-64gb windows tablets.

a 128gb is minimal in my book but people do use them somehow and I have no idea how.

Hi

press the windows key and when the search box comes up type in disk it will come up with a result called disk cleanup/ Press the enter key on it. It will then come to another screen there you can pick your drive to do it to it is a combo box it will usually default to c: drive. You can use the down arrow key to go to another if you want to. What ever one you pick say c: drive you will then need to tab to ok button then press the enter key. It will then calculate how much can be cleaned up.

It will give you a list of areas it can clean up and say those areas. There is a check box next to each one. You can arrow down the list and use the space bar to check the box.

Down towards the bottom of the list you will then need to tab as the down arrow key will not take you any further.. If you tab once it will land on a system files button I think it was called. Press the enter key and repeate the process like before except this for will be for system files. Then at the bottom of the list you have selected all the ones you want removed you will then need to tab to the ok button then press the enter key.

It will then give you a message just say yes to it and then it will clean it up all for you.

Hope it helps.

Do not worry it will not remove any files only the ones you picked not needed.

and thanks for suggestions of everyone that helped us to make pot

the last version of pot player is 200204.
today i downloaded and installed it on my windows xp.
both bringing preferences by f5 and using context menu with

Hi,

One of my computer updated potplayer to 1.7.21126

1. pressing application key / right click with mouse cannot access the

2. pressing f5 cannot access the preferences


3. the installer of the latest version added a adware, and if it is on
that step, pressing tab with nvda cannot access the buttons.


I found it very frustrated, cause my work require potplayer's function.


Anyone would know any media player has a function to press hotkey and
copy the current play position to clipboard?

Thanks for this info.

After the fix, my potplayer is now able to access the context menu.


I think the problem is not exclusive to Win 10, because my win 7 is having this issue as well.

Re: web pages not refreshing

Sorry folks, I haven't been ignoring those who have reported this to me directly.  We've had a few reports of this, and I can recreate it myself.  I hadn't yet created an issue, I was trying to investigate exactly what was going on with it.  In the meantime, someone else has created https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/10801 which seems as good a place as any to record any more info on this issue (feel free to comment on that issue if you can add any technical info, a log, etc).

Re: Remote

Quentin Christensen
 

I can't answer the original question, but I definitely echo Brian's question - if there is one thing I could stop people saying it's "I'm using the latest (program XYZ)".  In the case of NVDA, the latest might be 2017.3 because you are using Windows XP, it might be 2019.3.1, or it might be NVDA alpha-19724,2c4caa62.  In the case of Windows or Office, it's even harder, as the latest version available TO YOU might be different to the latest version I can get - because of any number of random things like where we each are, which video card our PC has, or simply Microsoft not wanting to roll out something to everyone at once, so rolling it out to a random 10% of users, and one of us is in that group and one not.

Please, if you are reporting anything, to any software company, include the version number - that's why software has version numbers :)

Re the mouse and Chrome, if you press NVDA+M is mouse tracking enabled?  (Note that toggles it, so you may need to press it twice to ensure it is "enabled".  It seems to be working for me, but if you have mouse tracking enabled and it isn't working for you on sites like Wikipedia or NVAccess.org, if you could send me a log at debug level to info@..., I can have a look.

Re Outlook, there are a couple of issues at https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues so if you could clarify what is happening, we can try to ascertain if it is one of those known issues (and if so where we're at investigating it) or something different.

Re: changes in speech in NVDA 2019.3

Quentin Christensen
 

We did rewrite a lot of the speech code, although for now this shouldn't be an overly different experience, it was more to make future changes and maintenance easier.  Evidently you've found something that does work slightly differently.

Not sure about the first one, I'll have to learn GMails keyboard shortcuts more - but re editing words, I've written that up https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/10808

Regards

Quentin.

Hi all,

does anyone know whether there have been changes to the speech processing part of NVDA in the 2019.3 update? I didn't spot anything in the change log, but I experience a couple of things that are different from the 2019.2.1 version.

The first one is very minor ... when I tag an email in gmail so that it goes into an existing  folder, I press c to go to the combo box listing all folders, then I press a letter corresponding to the first letter of the folder name - such as f for my Facebook notifications. Once focus is on Facebook I tab over and activate the Go button, which applied the label to the email. Since 2019.3 the letter I pressed (in this case f) gets spoken when I tab over to the Go button; this did not happen before 2019.3.If I need to press the letter more than once to continue past Facebook to Farming and then to Fiction, NVDA now announces "fff" which is mildly annoying!

More of a problem is when I mistype words ... I regularly mistype because as becuase and words ending in tion as toin ... I suspect when I've done this and immediately select the word and retype it without presing space to move onto typing the next word. As a result the first mistyping doesn't get spoken straight away ... it gets spoken as I press space or punctuation ... and it merges the mistyped word in with the correct version, and they are seemlessly connected like they are one single word, becuasebecause ... the same happened in this post when I mistyped punctuation as puncutation and got "puncutationpunctuation" as a result.

The only irritation with this is that it makes it difficult to tell whether the subsequent attempts at spelling the word correctly has removed the typo or whether it is still mistyped.

I'm curious whether this is an intentional change and, if so, what the thinking behind it is.

Giles
