Okay, I changed the setting in Options so that it will ask me if I want an update installed. It can be really really frustrating to try and access a site or features of a site (I think of Tumblr and m

How can I make sure Firefox won't update? I don't want my go-to browser to be unusable!

Is MS Speech Platform still compatible with NVDA? It's been several years since I first installed it and I've changed computers and NVDA's interface has changed and I don't know if it's still possible

*sigh* Well, now it seems I'll have to seriously consider downgrading, although that might not help with my songs issue. My sister's got the same problem now and she's on mobile and has a different ac

I logged out of the Spotify app to see if that would fix a problem I was having. It didn't, but I thought I'd try. Only now I can't check the "Remember me" checkbox on the login screen. I've tried spa

I'm asking because my mum and sister are playing this awesome app-based game that I could only play on PC with this emulator installed. I know Google things are pretty accessible but I'm not sure abou

That's odd. I installed Jarte 6.1 a while ago and had no issues accessing my files afterward. It's been working just fine.

Hi, I'm not sure I'm allowed to post this to the nvda-addons list, so I'm just putting it here for now. The Emoticons addon no longer seems to respond to :) :( :D or the other smileys I'm used to it r

Duly noted. If anything comes up, I'll remember this advice. Thanks again for your input. It's been a great help.

Thank you! I never used that option before because of the lag warning, but I guess that lag is negligible or just doesn't happen all the time. I'd forgotten it existed. Well, looks like Jarte will be

Well, my attached file didn't get sent. At least I don't think it did. That's annoying, as I can't get at Quentin's email. Also, just downloaded the compatibility pack, and after installing it, tried

Hi, I've just made this file in Jarte itself, saved in .rtf. It behaves as I described below. Since it's a test file specifically created to demonstrate my issue, I have no problems sending it to the

Quentin, I've noticed the opposite. I had Microsoft Word Starter 2010 on my original computer when I first got it, and then Microsoft Office 2013 when Mum bought me a license for one computer. NVDA al

Quentin, do you have any addons or something that might have changed how NVDA reads Word Pad/Jarte files? I'd be super grateful. I'd have no problem using Jarte if I could read my stories with the pro

I used to do this with CAPTCHA, though to be fair, you do have to capture something to solve it—hidden words or numbers in an image or sound, the true image if you have to drag/drop parts of a picture

Arlene, Jarte is free! There's a paid version called Jarte Plus with some extra features if you really want them, but the base program is free and has plenty of features to be going on with. :)

Hi, I'm using Windows 7 and NVDA 2016.4. I read one of my files with Jarte and it still displayed the same behaviour I described. That was last night. Also, thanks for the official link. :)

Thanks! As I said last night, when I tried to follow the link from the page it said "We are sorry, but the page could not be found" and gave me a ton of possible search options. Really though, it does

Well, I got Jarte, and checked the page linked in the help dialogue, and the link on that page is either broken or the resource it was supposed to direct you to has been removed. Either way, I'm havin

Hi, My computer's keyboard's been acting up, and I have my Mum's as a backup, but it doesn't have Microsoft Office on it, and I was wondering if there was a decent free word processor out there, acces
