Hi Leo, I have a workaround I use for this. It doesn't bother me so much when I'm listening on my own, but I take my tablet with NVDA to creative writing groups where I write poetry and sometimes I wa

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has any ideas on something NVDA users probably don't need to do very often. I'd like to be able to get a little bit more control over the amount of pause time that is produc

Daniel, I think you are being over-restrained when you describe it as an 'interesting' problem! I had this problem and it drove me absolutely crazy!! It took me ages to find out what was going on, and

Gene, thanks a million for that helpful guide to navigating the Microsoft Store using NVDA — I've never been able to navigate it before and I (almost) can now! I too want to give the KNFB a go at this

thanks Gene, I am familiar with object navigation and that was how I was trying to access the list, using NVDA + num pad 4 and 6 to move up and down it. I gave up and called in sighted assistance this

I don't know if other NVDA users have had different mileage to me, but I have the beep for caps option on, and it only beeps if I'm navigating letter by letter. The minute I go word by word or reading

I agree that it's when I'm proof reading that I find the beep for capitals helpful. I have a configuration profile for editing documents before I submit them anywhere, in which I have the punctuation

Hi all, I've just noticed a strange happening when using the temporary dictionary and the default dictionary, and I can't think of a reason why this might happen. I often find frames on websites where

I had no problem setting up ABBYY and using it to scan PDFs or jpg images. I originally used a cracked copy of the program I found on ThePirateBay, but eventually purchased a legal copy, which cost me

Hi all, Has anybody any experience of trying to use a CD database of phone records / electoral roll info? I'm not sure what products are available other than in the UK, but here we have, or have had,

I read a couple of threads on here about issues with Firefox and I wonder if anybody has any idea what might be going on with my NVDA / Firefox situation. My Firefox updated to 55.0.3 (32-bit) yesterd

thanks nasrin, but it's not opening any new tabs, just jumping me over to one of my other open tabs. Brian may well be right that I just have too many open! They are all tabs that I currently need to

Thanks Brian, Gene and nasrin. To comment / answer / thank each in turn, Brian, I have quite a powerful Asus gaming laptop with 8Gb Ram and a 1TB drive. Obviously when I open Firefox it takes a while

I don't know if this is a similar issue, but two or three times since I've installed NVDA 17.3 I find that NVDA totally shuts up and can't be cajoled back into action other than a hard reset. It happe

I'm really interested in this thread because I'm intending to go back to Swansea Uni, where I did my BSc in chemistry back in the 1990s, and study for MA in creative writing. I know they use Blackboar

I'm using Win10 and the default and voice dictionaries are in: appdata/roaming/NVDA/speechDicts you'll find the appdata folder in C:\users\ and then whichever name your account is. I find it easier to

I think I need to install the cardboard sheet method Brian suggests, because I cannot find any system setting or notification area icon relating to my touchpad. I use an Asus gaming laptop and, readin

Hi Gene, I have a similar-ish situation. My Asus laptop uses Realtec HD audio, and when I try and plug in an external speaker or headphones it wants to run a device configuration program, which is not
