Hi. Betsy, The NV Access Web site doesn't have a direct download link. When you select the Download link the file usually doesn't begin downloading. Instead, there is a form which gives you the option

Betsy, If you have not already done so I would recommend going to the NVDA Web site and downloading the full installer for 2020.2. David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist JAWS Certi

Hello. For me, the add-on in question which was causing the shut-down wav file to be suppressed was an older version of the Acapela speech engine. As it turned out Acapela corrected this problem in a

To Gene's point I can tell you that Kaspersky Antivirus, while its accessibility is far from ideal, works much better with NVDA than it does with JAWS. With JAWS I need to use the touch cursor to revi

Yes, the program which was supplied with JAWS and which is still preinstalled with JAWS is called HJPad. It is pretty much Wordpad but with a spell checker. As far as I know there is no way to acquire

I am happy to report that v1.6.3 of the Acapela driver has fixed the problem of the exit sound not being heard when exiting or when restarting NVDA. When I first loaded the Acapela voices there was so

Vlad, as I do have the Acapela voices installed this certainly gives me a clue as far as what to look for. If I find that the Acapela driver is causing this to occur I will certainly write to them abo

Vlad, you are absolutely right. Once I disabled the Acapela driver and restarted NVDA the exit sounds work. Enabling the driver then stops the sound from being played. It's worth noting that I am runn

Admittedly, this is not a major problem but I've recently noticed that when I press ctrl+Q I no longer hear the wav file that is normally heard when exiting or closing NVDA. The wav file does exist in

Hi. In a previous message I wrote about my frustration regarding noticeable sluggishness when navigating character by character in a Microsoft Word document. In yet another thread I wrote a workaround

Larry, this is very odd. When I download the main engine the file name is Acapela TTS Voices for NVDA - Engines-1.6 (2).nvda-addon The only reason that the (2) characters are contained in the name of

I have occasionally encountered this problem and not just with NVDA as the screen reader. The alt-tab solution will certainly work. However, what usually works for me is to press the alt key twice. Th

Larry, I'm a bit confused by your message as addons for NVDA don't have a .man extension. Have you downloaded 1.6.2 from this page?

Hello. I think that we may need some additional information as there are things you have written that I honestly am not following. NVDA does have what is called a screen review mode. However, this aff

Hi. Responding publicly as others may also be interested in this question. The Eloquence voices from NVDA work well on the systems which I've used with it. I did not purchase the SAPI5 voices but inst

This problem is not just an NVDA issue but is more of a problem with Teams and it's one which Microsoft is aware of, although I'm somewhat mystified that it's taken this long for a fix to be deployed

I hadn't but did so after reading your suggestion. It's possible that I'm noticing a slight amount of improvement since doing so and so I appreciate the advice. After comparing NVDA's performance in W
