Thanks Gene. You mention an addon that's included with the portable Thunderbird, which app is that? Mozilla Apps enhancements is an NVDA addon, not a Thunderbird addon, so not sure if that's the one y

Thanks Brian. The problem is, despite being in the Thunderbird window with the keyboard cursor on the message list, the dialogue would not open, instead saying no columns available. One thing I forgot

Argh. I guess I'll remember that for next time. I didn't know if automatic would work, and when I googled how to set up Thunderbird with Yahoo I found tutorials that said you need to do it manually. T

There is one type of email it doesn't seem to work well with, and that's the notifications from Twitter with your daily digest and telling you so-and-so tweeted something. When I open those with bird

Thanks. I tried that, tabbing does absolutely nothing at all, no output from NVDA when I try tabbing within that message. Shawn Klein

I had a Commodore 64 in the early 90s with the BB Talker word processor and Sam Say, some Sam games that also used Software Automatic Mouth. I also had another software screen readers that would let m

Yeah, I couldn't get that because you have to have a Brazilian bank account in a certain bank to get it. I thought it would be cool to try it. I did have DosVox though for a while and played around wi

Hi Ken, I think you misunderstood something. The Brazilian screen reader package I was talking about is called Dosvox, D...O...S...V as in victor...O...X, and it's for Windows. It's called Dosvox, but

Yeah that's true, more like a screen reader alternative for people who don't want to use anything but what it gives you. I know it had the file system manager, and I think it had an email program, but

I used Window Eyes for 9 years, I still miss the way you could move around the mouse area. Shawn Klein

Here's my theory on that. Every voice has a bit of a learning curve. If you're used to Eloquence, and then you lose access and have to switch to ESpeak, or Dectalk, or even one of the more natural voi

Yeah, it sounds like a Brit trying too hard and failing miserably to speak with an American accent. And some of the other Espeak languages are simply awful. Hawaiian is a distorted mess, and I can't u

Hi Bonnie, f11 isn't necessary on the IPhone, you're already controling your PC as soon as you connect with both devices. You need to have the same host usually nvdaremote.com and the same key on both

Oh I forgot. You said you got the NVDA menu, so maybe you have a working insert or NVDA key. My Mathias Bluetooth keyboard that can pair to 4 devices and switch between them doesn't have another inser

The question is did you switch ESpeak's language to Japanese. With some synths, they just won't work with Japanese or some other foreign alphabets at all unless you add language packs in Windows. I ju

I've done a bit of Googling about this, and it seems that it's actually whoever created the ESpeak voice's fault. As best as I can figure, they left out loads of kanji and made a real mess of it, so y

I hate to tell you this, but most websites don't even bother with that stuff, and when they do it's usually to use the wrong language attribute altogether. I turn language switching off and never use

A lot of synths will read English and Japanese both because they don't share an alphabet. The one-core voices mentioned by someone in this thread may do this without worrying about website owners comp

With Spanish you'll just have to switch back and forth, or you could practice listening to English with a Spanish voice for parts of the page where both languages are heavily mixed. It's not so hard o

All I can say is, hopefully AI will be able to solve this soon so we don't have to worry about compliance. Getting them to make sites accessible in general is hard enough lol. Shawn Klein
