Giles, Brian V is a sighted adaptive technologist. He's very good at what he does, & he is incredibly helpful to us on so many levels, but he likely doesn't use speech as his primary means of informat

Thanks, Brian V--those links are really helpful.

Maybe try Write Monkey, but get v. 2, as v. 3 is inaccessible. www.writemonkey.com O & btw it's 1 of the few programs w/a splash screen worth reading--& generally either laughing or thinking about, or

Bryce, that is more a function of the synthesizer you're using as opposed to NVDA itself. Mine says 12 cup. On the other hand, mine trips on other things that are equally annoying.

I'm afraid, Hettie, that you might not find Softmaker, especially the spreadsheet portion, as accessible as you might need. Please let us know how it works for you.

Dean, if you're still having problems, hit me up off list tomorrow & we can play w/NVDA remote.

The other 1 I had is that perhaps if none of our conversation solves this the firewall(s) & perhaps the router(s) need to be investigated to ensure that's not the difficulty.

I don't know. When I used the key generator, it generated 7 or 8 numbers. I personally use something the client can relate to, ie, a pet's name, etc.

Dean, let's ensure a couple things. 1) Is the app actually installed? Press NVDA+n, then t & up arrow 1. Does it say remote? If not, then the remote app isn't installed.) 2) Now try connecting. Once t

Isak, did you ensure that the capslock key was checked to work as a NVDA modifier?

Hasan, did you get any msgs asking you to allow NVDA thru the firewall? You may wish to go to windows firewall & just make sure that NVDA is allowed through.

Hasan, there's a lot you don't tell us. 1 of the questions I have is what security software are you using, both antivirus & firewall? Also, are you running as an administrator or just using a standard

You know, Shaun, if you'd go to ninite.com, you can install a lot of different software & have the bundled extras skipped. I don't know if CCleaner is on there, though I seem to remember that at some

Jonathan, it affects arrowing performance because the document is being changed in its entirety as you're trying to arrow around. It doesn't help blind folks much & indeed serves to slow speech down.

Hey David, I don't know if Office 365 has it, but under options, I think under view tab, there's an option that refers to live preview. Disabling it really speeds up Word. Have a great holiday weekend

Sarah & Brian--I don't know if this would be helpful or not--& from your description, Brian, it sounds like not--but sometimes I have been able to determine what buttons represent by using Win10 OCR.

Check your firewall/router?

Brian, you mean I can't show off my telepathic abilities? :)

Wow, amazing! By time I'd finished writing my reply, you'd gotten 3 already! Me slow!
