I'll also check to see if I have my ribbon tutorial
available on Dropbox. If not, I'll upload it and send the link.

Good point re the system tray. I'll update that next time I'm looking
at the page, but feel free to go ahead and edit it yourself if you get to it
first. Editing that bit about ribbons and including the link to your
tutorial would also be great - I must admit, I sat down to edit that page
yesterday thinking I'd just need to add a paragraph here and there, and then I
got to the virtual ribbons thing and realised it really needed a lot more
work.
Re Eloquence, I must admit, I didn't really touch that section. Not
sure whether the SAPI 5 version wasn't available when that part was originally
written, or maybe whoever wrote that part initially had (or knew about) the
other version, but again, happy for that to be added in.

Re: trouble with NVDA Menu and content being correctly formatted on web pages
Quentin Christensen
When you say you can't access the NVDA menu, can you use other NVDA commands - eg if you press NVDA+F12 does it read the time? If not, it would indicate an issue with your NVDA key (whether it's set to caps lock and you're trying insert or vice-versa, or a key, maybe N, isn't working or stuck down, etc). If you can read the time, does NVDA give you an error or beep when you try to open the menu? In your %temp% folder there should be an nvda.log file which is the log from either the current NVDA session or most recent session (if it is not currently running), and nvda-old.log which is from the time before that. If you could send me a copy of that log to info@... I can have a look and see if it offers anything. Otherwise, which version of NVDA are you using? and have you tried another version (eg try both NVDA 2019.1.1 https://www.nvaccess.org/download and NVDA 2019.2rc1 https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2019-2rc1-released/ ) Regards Quentin.

Re: Is there a way to set NVDA 2019.2-RC1 to exit focus mode in Skype?
hurrikennyandopo ...
Hi
Which version of skype?
There is the app version for windows 10 there is a desk top version both skype 7 and 8 which is more like a web page in 8.
There is also a web version that can be used in a browser.
I was just looking through some of the whats new in nvda 2019.2 and come across the following.
• You can now disable browse mode by default by disabling the new "Enable browse mode on page load" option in NVDA's browse mode settings. (#8716)

Setting global speech rate across various profiles
Mobeen Iqbal
Hello Everyone.
I am using NVDA with different profiles for various programs. I am wondering if there is any way to get NVDA to respect the global speech rate I have set as I switch between programs? The speech rate is something I'm not really interested in customising on a per program basis. At the moment, if I slow the speech rate down then go in to excel for example, the last speech rate that was set in relation to my excel profile is loaded. I can see how this would be useful for some but I would like the option of using the global setting per profile for certain items if possible. Any replies are much appreciated. Thanks for reading, Mo.

trouble with NVDA Menu and content being correctly formatted on web pages
Scott Berry
Hello there,
I am having some trouble with NVDA not allowing me to access the NVDA menu and also not rendering elements on all web pages correctly. I have taken the following steps to resolve this issue: 1. I uninstalled NVDA, rebooted and removed everything from c;\App Data\Roming\NVDA. 2. I have done a ccleaner and that didn't clean up anything in particular with NVDA. 3. I also uninstalled JAWS and Openbook just to see if they were conflicting and that is not the case. 4. I installed NVDA, JAWS and Openbook back and the problem still exists. I wonder if there are other places I should look for any other settings. -- Scott Berry, Certified Medical Office Assistant, Associates in Alied Health, Patient Advocate Check us out at: http://www.berrysadvocating.biz

Re: In-Process 31st July
Gene
Regarding changes made to the switching to NVDA from JAWS Wiki:
I have a few points and a question to the list regarding the content.
As far as the system tray information is concerned, I’m
glad to see that the space bar eaquals left single click command is
included. But it is important to say that first
letter navigation can be used in the system tray. Those who use the JAWS
system tray dialog are used to using first letter navigation in the list and
they should know that the same is available when working with the system tray
directly.
Concerning ribbons, the discussion of ribbons is so shortt that I think it
will confuse and discourage people who aren’t familiar with working with ribbons
and those who don’t use the JAWS virtual ribbons menus as well. I think
that it is much better to provide a link to resources to learn about ribbons
such as my tutorial, its short and to the point and very clear with learn by
doing examples, and links to resources, done by others.
I would have no objection to a comment such as, using ribbons is similar to
using menus except that you tab and shift tab to move through a ribbon.
Then you might say something like of course there is more to learn but that is
the essence of how you move through ribbons. Then you would recommend
resources. Or, if you don’t want to give specific information, you might
say something like try one or more of these resources for learning
ribbons. You may be pleasantly surprised how much easier they are than you
may have believed. I’ll send you a link to my ribbons tutorial ikf you
wish.
Regarding Eloquence, why is the HTML5 version not mentioned? I don’t
know if the add-on works properly now and my question to the list is, does it
still have the very annoying almost constant crackling artifacts it used to
have? If it does, that is another reason to mention the HTML5
version. Those wishing to use Eloquence in more than just NVDA should be
aware that an HTML5 version exists. I don’t think the HTML5 version is
discussed on the extra voices page so this would have to be coordinated.

Re: Character Information: What a godsend!
Christo de Klerk
Hello all
I echo those sentiments. I also read a
lot of linguistics-related material, but I am also in the process
of creating a new translation table for LibLouis for my language
and this add-on is absolutely invaluable for reading Unicode
braille characters. I don't know how I would have managed it
without the add-on. A million thanks for it and also to the author
of the Unicode braille input add-on which is a miracle.
Kind regards

Glad to hear you found Cyrille's add-on and it's working well Ben! For anyone wondering, here is the link to the add-on: https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/charInfo.en.html The add-ons page is regularly updated with new and interesting add-ons. So, if you haven't checked it out lately, I'd encourage you to do so: https://addons.nvda-project.org/index.en.html Also, if you're a bit more adventurous, the site has a page of "add-ons under development". These add-ons are currently being worked on and may or may not be completely polished, but may have new functionality you haven't seen elsewhere, and if you are interested, your feedback can help the developer of the add-on to iron out any kinks: https://addons.nvda-project.org/dev.en.html Regards Quentin.

Character Information: What a godsend!
Hey all,
One of the newest add-ons for NVDA, created by Cyrille G. is an absolute godsend to me. I'm a language freak/geek, so Unicode values are part of my daily life. If I ever come upon a character which I don't know about, I press numpad 2 or NVDA+comma four times, and I'm in like flint! Merci beaucoup! Ben
