Re: Accessing alerts on webpages
Luke
Hi! Just seeing this now. I noticed you said you use Firefox in a message below. I use Firefox as well and I use this add on to get to the notifications https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/mozillaScripts.en.html here is a excerpt from the link in which it will help you • NVDA+Control+N Reads the last notification and it takes the system focus to it if it is possible.

Re: Setting Up New All-In-One Computer with Win10, Acer Brand
There is no definitive end user guide for your all in 1.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Firstly you will need to navigate a website the acer site with your model and serial, to get all the driver and programs you want. You will then have to download the windows media creation tool, run it, follow the instructions to make a bootable usb stick. After that you need to incert it, turn off the system, hit f8, turn it on while holding such, select the usb device to boot it. Use control win enter and make sure scan mode is not set. then open a command prompt do a list disk then select disk 0 then type clean then y then select disk 1 if you have another drive and select clean then exit go to setup select the drive with the free space usually the smaller one usually the one thats not 1tb in size out of scan mode hit create then next, you can also put a new partition on disk 1 if you want, but we can do it later. Then follow instructions to install windows. After windows starts you need to set your network, and update things, then go through all the settings page by page and configure them how you want then install all the drivers how you want via their wizzards and configure them how you want. After all that the system will work and you can create your secondary partition in disk manager which is in admin tools in control panel and then computer management and then storage, then select the empty drive right click it with the app key and create a drive then you can format it from there or my computer then use it. You should configure windows update and everything else to your liking and go and configure speech and option features to your liking to as well as privacy and security pages. After that windows is set up. I've basically missed a few steps but thats basically a from scratch clean clear and burn of a new system. Its a darn lot to do and you probably will want someone that does it as a job to set it, I mean there are shortcuts but whatever. As for office, any office from xp-2010 will need to be installed normally the installs are easy enough to do, set name key formatting, etc the way you want it. In office 2013 and up updates are controled via alt f d r and space in office itself. Compatability packs will not work with office versions over 2010 either. So there is a really rough guide Now if you can wait and am really patient, I will be going through a servicing contract for 2 business systems as well as a potential eventual entry level business system upgrade for a new client from win7 to 10 but having windows 10 on a new system completely. I will be able to guide as best as I can the user through a setup of windows itself, and try to do settings and the like. I will also go through the setup of libre office. Its not microsoft office but the basic setup for most of this stuff is the same. Microsoft office is online for most of it from 2013 up so it may be slightly different and configuration to, but most of it will be standard. For me, its easier for me to just do, and just go and its done. It will be a challenge for me to speak what I am doing before I do it, and my pitfalls on things to. However you will have to wait for that guide, I realise you probably can't wait that long.

Hi, In case you are wondering when you should upgrade to NVDA 2019.3 add-ons: for users, I advise doing so when 2019.3 is released; for developers amongst us, at your earliest convenience. Cheers, Joseph

Hi all,
Before I close my “shop” i.e. add-on development for 2019 (apart from compatibility list), one last announcement on add-on releases in 2020 and beyond:
Starting on January 1, 2020 (or a few hours before), NVDA 2019.3 optimized add-ons from me will be released to stable channel. This will be done in waves, starting and ending with Add-on Updater.
Release waves:
For some add-ons, download links for old releases will be made available until March 1, 2020 (no extensions after that). For add-ons leaving my nest, the dates listed above will be the day when last versions from me will be released (and for developers, no more commits from me regarding code for these add-ons after that; I’ll provide repository links when the final releases happen).
A few important notes:
Thanks. Early Merry Christmas and a happy New Year (or as many would say, “happy holidays”). Cheers, Joseph

Re: Two problems encountered in Nvda when using Google Docs

Marcos, as I already told you, the first case is a Google Docs accessibility, since NVDA is set to do not echo typed characters...

Setting Up New All-In-One Computer with Win10, Acer Brand
David Russell
Hello Group,
In an effort to be concise: Can someone recommend a website be it afb.org, Entopia, or some such, that provides sighted and blind users alike a step-by-step guide on setting up a new computer with Windows, MS Word, and NVDA? Alongside this, per the recent digest noting the synthesizer issue with Google Docs, can you please recommend an NVDA version, perhaps not the most latest, that will work with FireFox, Win10, and Google Docs, subverting the discussed synthesizer issue? On the computer purchased, I am told Windows 10 needs to be downloaded, as does MS Word, but the appropriate software is provided to download all necessary. Thanks in advance! And, my wife will appreciate this task being made easier! Holiday Sentiments, -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@gmail.com

That's the way to guarantee that an issue gets looked at. Of course, searching to see if an issue already exists before creating a new one by going to the Filter box at the top, and entering keywords related to your issue after the pre-populated phrase that's there, "is:issue is:open", should be done first. If one already exists you may want to add to it, or not, depending on what you find when looking at the issue. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor. ~ Robert Frost, The Black Cottage (1914)

Two problems encountered in Nvda when using Google Docs
Marcos Antonio Schllosser
Greetings!
There are two problems with Nvda when using Google Docs. When entering a Document, the Synthesizer used in Google Docs does not distinguish between the uppercase and lowercase letters you enter. To use Google Docs, I turn off speaking typed characters and speaking typed words. And the synthesizer that is used at the time of typing makes no difference between uppercase and lowercase letters typed. When I type a misspelled word, Nvda does not emit the warning sound indicating that the word was misspelled. But the synthesizer speaks suggestion of spell checking. These issues should be brought to the attention of the developers.
