Hi Don, As noted in another thread, an alternative is pressing Alt+NVDA+S provided that it doens't conflict with other add-ons. By the way, I figured out the problem: when closing NVDA, NVDA's own vol

Hi, This is already possible: Mono Audio, a setting provided by Windows where you can hear stereo sounds through a single audio channel. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Don, While it may not be possible to resolve the right channel problem when disabling Sound Splitter and restarting NVDA, I might be able to restore NVDA sounds to both channels when you uninstall

Hi Don, The last bit you provided (disabling the add-on does not restore sounds to both channels) confirms the hypothesis I had about the add-on code. I'll look into this as a high priority issue. Che

Hi, Oops, should have looked into this... One possible workaround is restarting the computer. Another workaround is pressing Alt+NVDA+S to disable sound splitter feature before removing or disabling t

Hi, NVDA not focusing to desktop when closing apps: it depends on where NVDA thinks system focus is. NVDA stores a reference to object with system focus, and when a program closes, NVDA will move focu

Hi Juan, JAWS can announce virtual desktop title when focused on the desktop because that is the foreground window. At other times, you will notice JAWS saying the title of the active window becasue d

Hi, Category lists such as those found in NVDA and Thunderbird are similar interfaces because they are, after all, lists, not menus. Besides, the way they are defined in NVDA source code makes this su

Hi, Sarah's argument is actually the norm. For example, when you look at programs with similar configuration interfaces such as Notepad++, Microsoft 365 apps such as Outlook, and even Windows 10/11 Se

Hi, In a way, yes because virtual desktop switch announcement is scheduled to be announced at least half a second after you switch to a different virtual desktop. The pul request I mentioned changes t

Hi, Not really. The read title bar command essentially reads the name of the foreground window, and this respects the window that's "on top" at the moment. Cheers, Joseph

Hi, If you are talking about settings categories, that's because they are not menu items at all. Cheers, Joseph

Hi all, You must install Windows App Essentials add-on to hear desktop names when you switch between virtual desktops. Internally, a name change event is fired by something other than File Explorer, a

Hi all, As a follow-up: if I get a chance this week, I plan to post a "how to" guide on creating more effective NVDA issues on GitHub (I know that folks have already posted something like this, but I

Hi, Update: Microsoft Natural Voices are retrieved from Microsoft Store. Although these voices are set to be compatible with Windows 10 Version 1809 (October 2018 Update), they are only available in b

Hi, Narrator doesn't distinguish between synthesizers when listing voices. This is why when you open Narrator settings (Control+Windows+N), under voice list, you will see two entries for David and Zir

Hi, Nope - these voices won't show up as OneCore voices - I checked multiple places, including Windows installation folder and Windows Registry. I have a theory as to where to look next, but that's qu

Hi, Browser Nav: yes, a newer version was submitted for distribution. Don't worry about it. The second add-on: I think you are referring to Windows App Essentials? Yes, you will need a supported Windo

Hi all, Quick, open NVDA menu, then select Tools/Check for add-on updates, as new add-on updates are on their way. Cheers, Joseph

#addonrelease

Hi, In theory, yes, but again it runs into practical issues. There is a way to simulate what's termed "rearrange list" where you can change the order of a list, and then have various speech functions
