Perhaps you are asking about the global hotkeys dialog.  I don't know why you may be having problems in that dialog.  I doubt it is related to NVDA but you can check, as I said, with another screen-reader.

What version of Winamp are you using?  I'm using 5.66 and there is nothing about abbreviations in the general dialog.  Are you using the beta?  Maybe the program gets stuck somehow on a certain item.  Maybe you will have to try tabbing, then stopping on the item before the one that is causing a problem.
Then, if you want to see the items past the one causing the problem, try opening preferences, then shift tabbing then stopping on the item before the one that causes you a problem. 
 
You can see if NVDA has anything to do with Winamp getting stuck on the item that causes you problems by using something like Narrator or JAWS and seeing if you have a problem.  That way you can see if the problemn occurs regardless of screen-reader.

Good evening group,

I have found out a big problem in Winamp.

When I open Winamp and preferences and general abbreviations, then 8
times I press key tab, then I can't shut it's window, and I can't go any
where.

I can only set abbreviations.

I wonder, what can I do for shut winamp
's window.

Could you please give me an advice?

Re: NVDA 2019.3 Beta 1 is out

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Sky,

The copy to clipboard etc conversation comes up regularly.  For now, I'll just direct you to my comment last time this came up: https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/message/66783

Re Remote, there are arguments for and against that.  For, as you say, means new users don't need to install an update.  Against is we often get asked by companies installing NVDA about security and what data NVDA can or does send.  Currently, it's quite easy to answer, as the program sends very little information and no personal information or speech content or what the user is doing.  If we included Remote in the core, we'd need to work out how to keep everyone happy.  I'm not saying we can't or wouldn't, but it won't be in 2019.3 (not least of which because aside from whether we agree or not, we don't tend to add too many new features after we release a beta - from now on, work on 2019.3 will primarily be around stability and addressing any issues which get reported.  New features will still be worked on, but for Alpha releases looking towards inclusion in 2019.1.

Regards

Quentin.

I can't seem to change the speech rate and the voice on the go with an copy of NVDA on an Laptop using Laptop keyboard layout. I can do it on my other laptop with a full size keyboard.  

Any idea how can I do the same thing as I used to do on my other Laptop on this laptop with laptop keyboard layout?

Re: Anybody have an accessible password service?

Nikola Jovic
 

Mini kee pass works, but it is pretty outdated and is not exactly the
best solution for this. It lacks any kind of auto filling of passwords
so you have to copy and paste them manually, same for touch ID
authentication. On the other hand, if you use Android, there is a
great Kee pass app which does both of these just fine.

I have used KeePass and it works ok.  I was thinking of changing to 1Password for the ability to more easily use it with my wife and also between my PC and my phone.

Re: I can only hit enter on buttons, sometimes i have to left click on them instead

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Sarah,

I'm not familiar with Fly Virtual, but since you are using object navigation to get around, does NVDA+enter (Activate current navigator object) work?

Sometimes with object navigation, you can then use NVDA+shift+backspace (move system focus to current navigator object) then enter (and sometimes you can't).

Alternatively, to use the mouse, NVDA+shift+m moves the mouse to the current navigator object, then NVDA+[ is a left button click.  Note that depending on the object, the mouse may not move to exactly the right position.

Also, according to your log, you are using NVDA 2019.2.1, which is the current version.

Quentin.

Re: Accessable antivirus program #addonrelease

Quentin Christensen
 

I would chime in and say I also use Windows Defender on Windows 10.  A friend and I were talking about this topic on the weekend, and I went off to see what the wider world uses.  Here are three review sites I found (and have read previously) which offer their (recent / current) views on anti-virus for Windows 10.  More detailed analysis from each in the links, but I've included a one line summary for each as well:

Their recommendation: Windows Defender paired with Malware Bytes (according to that thread I noted the other day, Malware bytes should be accessible).

They give defender 3.5 / 5.  Their editor's choices, which both get 4.5 are Avast and Kaspersky.

Their recommendation Kaspersky Free Antivirus is our top choice, but Bitdefender Antivirus Free and Avast Free Antivirus aren't far behind

I know someone mentioned Malware Bytes in the thread.  Has anyone used Avast, Kaspersky or Bitdefender lately and noted where accessibility is at with those please?

Regards

Quentin.

Hello friends!
Please advise a good antivirus for Windows with an accessible interface for screenreaders.
I'm currently using "Avast Internet Security", but it is completely inaccessible to NVDA.
Thank you for any advices!

Re: NVDA 19.3RE: [nvda] Conference recordings?

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Sky,

Yes there will be a beta out very shortly.  Apologies for the seemingly slow movement on this.  It's been a big change both for us and for add-on developers and we wanted to make sure everything was working well and everyone was on board.  We will keep everyone informed.

Hello Quentin. Sky here. When is NVDA 19.3 going to be in public beta so those of us can test it out before it comes to final release? I know you want to put it out when its stable, but since we’re in the month of December, do you think it might be in beta this month and then released before the year 2020? Thanks, Sky.

Shutting window in Winamp

Jarek.Krcmar
 

Good evening group,

I have found out a big problem in Winamp.

When I open Winamp and preferences and general abbreviations, then 8 times I press key tab, then I can't shut it's window, and I can't go any where.

I can only set abbreviations.

I wonder, what can I do for shut winamp
's window.

Could you please give me an advice?

Nvda is silent by pressing tab.

Re: Add-on issues after system restore on Windows 10

Kevin Cussick
 

Hi Brian and list, Yes correct You need to go into %appdata% and delete the nvda folder in there, this is quite drastic, then You need to reboot Nvda, I should have said You need another screen reader like Narrator. then delete the nvda folder under %appdata%\nvda as I say it will wipe everything out and You will need to start again. but it will fix things.

There is the unanswered question of what version of NVDA, as well as what versions of the Add-Ons, are present.
System Restore (which I personally dislike because it's both unreliable and incomplete) only rolls back your system registry and certain folders, but not all of them.  It is not, in any meaningful sense, a full restore but is, instead, a selective partial one. See the articles:
System Restore (What It Is and How to Use It)
<https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-system-restore-2626022>;
What System Restore Can and Cannot Do to Your Windows
<https://www.maketecheasier.com/what-system-restore-can-and-cannot-do-to-your-windows-system/>;
I am quite certain that NVDA add-ons are unlikely to be touched by System Restore as they are not installed using a method that System Restore tracks, so you could possibly have an "older" version of NVDA for which "newer" versions of the add-ons are incompatible.
I'm in agreement with Mr. Vonderlinden that an complete uninstall of NVDA, and all associated add-ons, and a reinstall of same is the thing that is most likely to rectify the situation the most easily.

 O i meant when you do a windows m to go to the desktop , the reading stops. However, when you alt tab back to the window, you still have to OCR the window again.
