You have a NVDA command in browse mode, n, that jumps the blocks of links, graphics and so on going to the next text.

You also have an add-on, browsernav, with a command to the same purpose, but mor efficient…

Hello all,

Many emails I get contain logos and other types of graphics. I’m using Outlook 2019. Is there an NVDA key command to bypass the graphics and navigate directly to the text? The “read all” command does not work reliably.

Thanks,

Jan

Hello!

 

Even if Vocalizer Expressive can not be loaded, the normal behavior of NVDA is to fall back to eSpeak or One Core voices…

Assunto: [nvda] Can't update Vocalizer with NVDA's latest?

 

I tried going ahead and updating to the new Vocalizer Driver, but because I’m still running NVDA’s latest stable version it won’t allow for the update, thus I’ve several questions for when the time comes to update myNVDA; I’m worried I’ll have to cope with a silent NVDA, and my family doesn’t know much of technology or computers, to be able to if this should arise, help me out in the meantime.

1.-What’s the best course of action, then when updating to the latest NVDA when it comes out, so that I won’t be without a voice, when the NVDA runs? If I install the Beta of NVDA in portable mode, and I update Vocalizer that way, will the upgraded voice come up speaking when the actual stable NVDA IS RELEASED?

2.-Because I’ve Vocalizer to run as my default voice, would you guys recommend then maybe defaulting to a windows10 voice to be on the safe side, and then update the Vocalizer Driver from that perspective?

I don't know why it would have taken you a month.  Can you order from Amazon or Tiger Direct or from any good computer store?  These cards are available in any good computer store and from Amazon and I don't see why it would have taken more than a day or two to get it.  But aside from that, it’s a very good idea to have an emergency computer.  You never know when you might need it.  Computers are generally very reliable but even so, something may fail and need repair, in which case, a backup computer can save you a lot of inconvenience.

Well, when my sound card died. Someone on this list said I can get a ten dollar usb sound card. I did find a place where they had them. I would have had to wait for a month to get a new card.  I was trying to complete my online food safe class.  Even if I wanted to get a new sound card. The people in the town called Nelson British Columbia Canada said I was better off just spending the bucks and getting a new computer.  I was glad I did.  I completed that on line class.  That’s when NVDA rocked.  It responded quicker then it did on my old win 7.  Even other usb ports were burned out on that system. When this person was moving my files off the 7 box. He told me there was about 2 or 3 ports that was burned out.

You may have such a problem again.  You don't need to spend any amount of money that matters.  You can get and use very inexpensive USB sound cards for ten U.S. dollars or less. 

 

It would serve people well not to assume solutions or whether they are feasible or not without asking about it on a list of knowledgeable users unless the user is knowledgeable enough about a subject to really know.

 

I understand that you had other problems with the computer and you might not have wanted to continue using it but even having it as a backup machine with an inexpensive soundcard might be valuable.

, I don’t have a 7 box anymore, mine died late last February. It lost all soundand I probably would have needed a new sound card.  I didn’t want to spend the money getting a new sound card for an 8 year old 7 box.  It was becoming more and more unreliable. I was going to leave 7 anyway! I knew support would be running out soon.  I was just concerned for those who still use 7.

Hi, I thought support is running out for windows 7.  When is Microsoft quitting support for windows 7?  I wonder if windows 7 is going to be like xp having no security on the net?  I personally don’t care if people still want to use it. If they do, they should just use it for checking mail. Or things you can do with it that you may not be able to do with ten.  Like audio programs like total recorder or using audio equipment such as taking audio from cassette tapes I know you can do it with xp.  If I had 7 I’d not do on line banking with it.

Hmph, do we honestly think anything new will actually happen immediately.

I read a celebratory article on this date in 2000 where the y2k bug was about.

A lot had been done to fix things.

All those suckers that got those y2k avoidence software packages, etc.

Yeah it could have been quite bad but we got on top of it.

Today I wake up to windows update taking ages to check for any update  though it eventually does and the net suddenly congested.

Its an election year which basically means which dumbo will we vote in and how long will they stay smart or not.

People always say we will have bigger and better things.

The climate and other protests continue to push us closer and closer to world war 3, another ression and maybe the net will fail according to some scary youtube video.

My friend who I was going to visit today is suddenly sick, half of australia is on fire, and jakata is flooding.

So maybe it will be the decade of bad luck.

    I think the reason that so many people think of this year as the start of a new decade is there is no more 19 they hear 20 and think a new set of 10 years has started.  We have started the decade of the 20's so we can say we are now in the 20's and not the teens.  People said the same thing back when y2k happend that the new decade would not start until 2001. This is the first year of the 20's so why not count it as such?

Sir,

 

Thank you for your clarifying email. I would like to remind you that the year is only 2020 "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" in the Western Christian tradition, and is not based on an actually observable incident. Based on historical data, some have argued that the entire numbering system is as far off as 3 years from the census that supposedly took place right before Christ's birth. Also, the Julian/Gregorian calendar, which transfers from 1 BC (year of Christ's birth) to 1 AD (a baby Christ's first birthday?) without a year zero are not the only calendars to measure 2020 years from that point: several other Eastern and Western calendars count the years from 0, which corresponds to 1 BC in the Julian/Gregorian. Taking such discrepancies into consideration, it makes perfect sense to celebrate the birth of a new decade at year zero.

Hi group,

I will be ready to wish everybody a happy new decade in precisely one year from now.  The actual fact is that the new decade (the 2020's) does not scientifically start until 12:00 AM January 1, 2021.  The simple fact is that there is nor has there ever been a year zero.  Therefore, when you begin numbering years, it is just as if you are counting any object such as dollars, chickens or daffodils.  You don't have ten of them until you actually have ten in hand. 

Arthur C. Clark the author of 2001 A Space Odyssey predicted this in his 1968 novel of the same name, written concurrently with the production of Stanley Kubrick's movie production. 

In that book, Clark projects that people would celebrate the turn of the millennium on January 1, 2000 rather than when it should be celebrated on January 1, 2001.  This prediction came true--exactly as Clark described it.

So it is with this idea of the beginning of a decade.  So long story short: the decade ain't over until it's over on January 1, 2001.

Telling anyone to avoid HTML e-mail at this point in history (and by avoid I don't mean changing how one might choose to view messages) is an exercise in futility, to put it mildly.  It can also result in a major loss of content and actual ease of access from many e-mail messages.

HTML format has been the de facto convention for a very long time now.  Most screen readers seem to do quite well with it, in my observation, and they'd have to since the vast majority of e-mail messages these days involve HTML formatting.

The HTML ship has sailed and the days of the plain-text dinghy are never coming back - at least if one wishes to conform oneself to the wider world as it is.

Hi, Arleen,

I remember this song very well. It was a huge hit here in Southern California. Thanks for sharing this with us. I do have it on my external music drive. A friend of mine has a daily oldie feature and one time he featured this song. That’s how I got it.

Hey this has something to do with this new decade.  Enjoy this for yourselves.  This will be up for a week. Then I’ll take it down. Happy listening!  https://www.dropbox.com/s/rg2y9qjvenjqfwi/01%20-%20In%20the%20year%202525.mp3?dl=0
