Re: Shutting window in Winamp
Gene
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.

Re: Anybody have an accessible password service?

Mini kee pass works, but it is pretty outdated and is not exactly the
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
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.

Just in case you didn’t know, the phone app for KeePass is called MiniKeePass and is fully usable.

Note that warning about the site pushing Keepass is not the official site - it's a fake site setup to push malware (they also have sites offering other software such as 7Zip, which again isn't the real version.
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: How to geek: https://www.howtogeek.com/225385/what%E2%80%99s-the-best-antivirus-for-windows-10-is-windows-defender-good-enough/ 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.

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. Quentin

Shutting window in Winamp

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. -- Jarek

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.

Re: a helpful tip for anyone using i cloud for windows with NVDA

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.

Re: a helpful tip for anyone using i cloud for windows with NVDA

I’m not sure what you are describing. You said you have to go to the
desktop. Then what happens when you return to the program. First you
talked about using OCR as a work around, which implies that you have to leave
the window to stop speech. What happens when you return to the
window? What do you mean bhy you don’t lose control of speech? You
must have a problem since you discuss using OCR as a workaround.

yes, it does happen in windows 7. used to experience it all the time Its no fun, especially when you can't stop speech, at least you can stop speech in 10 by simply doing a windows key m to go to the desktop and annoying. I'm so glad I have windows 10 and can use the workaround that I use

Re: a helpful tip for anyone using i cloud for windows with NVDA
Gene
Is this the same problem I’ve found with certain programs? NVDA reads
the full screen. I was using theEmsisoft (spelling) emergency kit and it
did this. I had to use mhy JAWS demo. It does so when using Virtual
Recorder, at least the portable version as implemented by the late Carlos.
I don’t know how many other programs this occurs in but it may be enough
that it should be looked into.
When this happens, you can’t stop the reading. Control does nothing
and movement commands such as tabbing to switch fields doesn’t stop the
reading.
I’m using Windows 7. While I expect this would happen in Windows 10,
that would need to be confirmed.

with NVDA hey
guys. For anyone using i cloud for windows, you may have noticed that on the
main screen that NVDA reads the entire window all at once when its displayed and
it makes it impossible to use. Well there is an easy workaround to this
that I have found works great. This will only work under windows 10 When in the i cloud window, press the windows key and R at the same time to use recognition and OCR will make the window usable. Hope all find this helpful

Re: thunderbird question
Gene
Also, are you a new user? You said slow with
NVDA but is that because you are using NVDA or is it that you have used
Thunderbird with another screen-reader and it is faster. I've seen
specific complaints from some people that Thunderbird is slow opening messages
on their systems. Other people don't seem to have the
problem.
I know that Thunderbird is very popular among blind
users. But Windows Live Mail, though it has a crashing problem on some
systems, is a good alternative and you may want to try it.

Another reason thunderbird could be sluggish is because you might have a lot of messages in your inbox. If too many messages in the inbox is the case, you might want to organize them with creating new folders for your list and create message filters. That's the only thing I can think of.
