Re: Unable to update NVDA
Quentin Christensen
Hi Jonathon, Can you please give some details about why you are unable to update? Are you getting an error message (if so, what does it say)? I downloaded NVDA earlier and it was working then. It might have been a temporary issue somewhere along the line. It's worth trying again and then if you still have problems, try to describe exactly what is happening and what response you are getting so we can help. Kind regards Quentin.

strange event
ken lawrence
Hi NVDA list this afternoon for unknown reasons winamp was invisible I couldn’t read what I had in a playlist. Was working on a radio show screening songs for play that’s why I was in winamp not station playlist. This all started today when 1.2 winamp extention updated. I had to disable the add on now I can read things. Our station manager can read things fine though I tried a restart, I tried a shutdown nothing but disabling the winamp extention worked so technically I don’t have it now any idea what it is? Thanks.

Re: an annoying problem with the NVDA portable
Quentin Christensen
I think I understand what you are saying, but I'm having trouble replicating it. Have you got an example of a setup file which will behave like this please? I'm running a portable copy of NVDA, and I just tried running a setup file, as it started reading out the screen before the secure screen, I pressed ENTER. By default ENTER itself will interrupt NVDA reading, but even with that turned off, as soon as the secure screen appears, NVDA stops what it is reading, states "Secure desktop" and then goes silent. If I'm reading correctly, what you're saying is that NVDA does not stop reading the previous screen, and because we are now on a secure screen, NVDA can't accept input so can't now be paused with SHIFT or CONTROL? Also, which synthesizer are you using, and if you try a different one (you should have at least two available), does it make a difference? Finally, is it EVERY setup program, or one particular one? Regards Quentin.

Re: iCloud For Windows Upload Progress
Unfortunately, icloud for windows doesn't support this function for nvda and any other screenreaders. For me it's also a kind of a problem, especially with large files.

iCloud For Windows Upload Progress
Luke Davis
Does anyone have any idea if there is a way for NVDA to obtain the status of iCloud drive for Windows? In particular, I am looking for upload progress of large files.
There is an iCloud system tray icon, but it seems to do nothing. I am assuming this information is available visually somewhere, but I don't actually know that for sure. Luke

Re: what's wrong with start mark/end mark
hi. i do nvda method many times rather than using windows method.
most times it works, but many times not! and as you said, nvda just selects one letter of text. i remember only in firefox and i am not sure that if i used nvda method for selecting text in other programs or not.

an annoying problem with the NVDA portable
abdul muhamin
Hi all, I’m facing a big problem while using the NVDA portable. I know that it doesn’t work on user account control dialog. But after clicking yes to open the app, for example a setup file, the NVDA disables all the command keys, even you cannot stop it from speaking by pressing control. It only happens when you are using the nvda portable copy. Please fix the problem. Using win10 v1903 64bit

Hi list ken here I was trying to forward a message to someone and I only wanted the part pertaining to them. But when I tried start mark insert plus f9 and end mark insert plus f10 twice, it only copied one letter. Did it exactly the way it should starting on one line to start mark andhit the insert plus f10 on the line I wanted and it said review copy selection to clipboard but it didn’t copy all I wanted. I had no choice but to forward the whole digest message. What did I do wrong.

Well as long as it works with open braille and brltty its probably ok. Of course its going to probably work better with an actual supported driver but brltty is everywhere including linux so if it works with that then it will work with most things supporting that at least.

I was looking through all the GitHub files for something like that, but with all the files it can get fairly overwhelming, so I appreciate the link. We will definitely get onto developing that driver and get it up and running.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
sounds like an interesting project. A lot of success with this! Right now there is no way to develop hardware to be immediately compatible with NVDA. You will need to write a driver. But before you start panicking, you won't need to write any Windows drivers in kernel mode. If your device is a HID or serial port device, you implement your protocol on top of those. So technically what you will write is more of an interface than a driver. For starters, you will want to read: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/AddingSupportForABrailleDisplay Some Python knowledge will be useful. All the best, Felix Grützmacher Am Mo., 25.

Re: what's wrong with start mark/end mark
Gene
I'm not saying it won't work, it will. What
I'm saying is that the numpad method was developed for times when no cursor is
present. It wasn't developed to duplicate something that is already
present.
It is also more intuitive and
more efficient often to use the Windows method where possible.
Consider one example. If I
want to select two consecutive lines of text in a document, using the Windows
method, I start at the beginning of the first line. If I hold shift and
down arrow, one time, I've selected the first line. Continuing to hold
shift and down arrowing again selects the second line.
Compare that with the numpad
method.
Start on the first line of text
and set the start marker. Moving to the next line, numpad 9, and setting
the end marker doesn't select the whole second line. it only selects the
first line and the first letter of the second line.
So I have to both move to the
second line and then move to the end of that line. in addition, when I
select using the Windows method, if I want to, I can move slowly enough to have
NVDA say selected, and then announce what I've selected as I move. You
don't hear that when you use the start and end marker method.
For some reason, I see this sort
of question off and on and I wonder how many people don't know about the Windows
method.
Gene

Re: Refreshable Braille Display Help
#NVAccess
#msftaccessibility
Hi, Hmmm, where do we begin… Typically, when users request support for a braille display, it is usually an existing product or a product that is about to be released to the general public. If we do get this request, NVDA developers would contact the product manufacturer and ask for protocol documentation so we can learn how the screen reader should communicate with the braille display. A few questions:
I advise taking the following steps:
Only after the braille display board is working properly should you consider letting NVDA talk to it (I assume the board is working properly, but just to make sure), and to do so, you need to define a protocol layer – communicating to NVDA what your braille display’s input module will do, and letting NVDA talk to the board and get things shown on the output module.
Cheers, Joseph

Hello, We are a group of students entering our country's top science exhibition, doing our project on refreshable braile displays, as we were interested in the idea of making the computer more accessible to all. We came across NVDA and found out it was perfect for what we stood for and needed.
