It doesn’t matter. If you get NVDA to squash particular phrases, you would be at a disadvantage to a sighted person who would immediately see it. I do not like this practice at all. All the best Steve

Not really, because if you get the words Out Of Link in a real document you wouldn’t hear it. I don’t like these cludges that squash words that could legitimately be in a document. All the best Steve

Hi, Could NVDA not be a bit smart about this, and switch to UIA when in an Outlook message? I guess not because it might not work so well in older versions of Outlook? I only ask because JAWS doesn’t

Also, some Windows updates break the registration, so you have to go into the app and re-activate it. Your key should work up to three times, then you would need to contact Code Factory for a reset, w

Hi Brian, Don’t even get me started on this. I hate trying to communicate with sighted people about websites, when the virtual cursor is often somewhere, sometimes off the visual screen that the sight

Surely, it's simple enough to press Control Home when you're in the Email to get to the top? This should take your virtual cursor to the top of anything. All the best Steve

Hi Brian, But the problem is, if you get any errors at start up, you won’t be aware of them, because NVDA is not running at start up. If you want NVDA to run later in the start up process, simply at i

Exactly. Enter may activate the submit button on many forms, so it's not a reliable work around. All the best Steve

Hi, You can read a complete code by exploration using Object Navigation. All the best Steve

Hi, Actually, Duxbury is accessible with NVDA, if you make one change. Go into the Global menu, then Internationalisation, and in there, check the box that says UIA Automation. All the best Steve

Hi Quentin, Yes I agree with you about all of this, your JAWS licence gives you access to scanning. When I said has the edge over JAWS for OCR, I merely meant that with JAWS, you can OCR from a flatbe

Hi Quentin, Sorry, but this is plain wrong. You don’t need to log into any account for JAWS to give you image descriptions, but I do agree, they probably paid handsomely for the privilege. All the bes

Now this I would agree with. NVDA should offer image descriptions natively. All the best Steve

Hi Quentin, I get what you’re saying, but what is contradictory about what I said? I basically said that NVDA doesn’t provide for OCR using a camera or scanner, but I don’t think that is the primary f

Still doesn’t let you scan from a scanner or camera though, without any add-on. I think that’s where JAWS has the edge, though I would posit that OCR scanning is not really the function of a screen re

Hi Brian, Not as far as I know with NVDA, but JAWS allows you to open the resulting file in Word, and it retains formatting as best it can. So it is definitely best out there for built in OCR to a scr

No, without add-ons, NVDA will only scan the current screen. JAWS will scan a whole document, whether it's imported from a PDF, or acquired from a scanner directly. Note: NVDA does have add-ons for th

Brian, I don't understand why you can't organise messages into folders using IMAP. What's POP3 got to do with it? All the best Steve

Hi Brian, Window-Eyes used to have an option in Settings to Hide Screen Reader Flag. I wonder if this would be useful for NVDA? All the best Steve

Hi Brian, In the old days, when screen readers all relied totally on the traditional off screen model, it not only mattered about the theme, but even if a window was maximised. Even that doesn’t matte
