Hi Joseph, I use the screen curtain addon and defined ALT+Shift+s to trigger it. Will that shorcut still function when screen curtain is incorporated into NVDA 2019.3 or will I need to redefine it? Th

Oh my, that is an impressively fast response, Quentin! ;) I'm delighted to hear that and look forward to the stable version of 2019.3 :) Thanks for the info, Giles

Hi all, I don't often use tracked changes in Word but needed to on a placement with a publisher back in May and I did again recently. I don't have any trouble making edits with tracked changes on, but

I've been using TWBlue for quite a while but before I did I used Easy Chirp,a website Twitter page which was very easy to use ... though not all actions were in obvious places! It still exists at http

Hi Vincent, yes, it is definitely an MS Word behaviour rather than an NVDA one. I find that when a document opens in read-only mode, going into the file menu (ALT+f) and pressing the down arrow to get

Hi Vincent, that sounds like a not-uncommon issue and it does have a simple workaround. Go to the View ribbon and tab to Draft View. In that view the down arrow will take you to the next page. The sho

Hello, mainly for the attention of NVDA developers, but may be of interest to others :) Usually when I want to install NVDA on a new machine (for my use) I create a portable copy with my current user

Thanks, particularly to Joseph and John. I've never used debugging mode so Joseph's info is helpful. I will do that and send the logs once I have recorded it happening :) Giles

Hi Damien, I've had the Bluetooth Audio addon installed for the best part of a year because I have a pair of Bluetooth speakers I tend to use for listening to music. Luke, I suspect it isn't trouble w

Hi all, This isn't a life or death question, I'm just curious about why the sound of the file download progress beep might be behaving strangely on this one particular service. It also may only be the

Hi John, I wonder if Tony Malykh's bluetooth audio addon might help. It is intended to stop the computer's blue tooth from going into standby for audio purposes, but I don't see why it wouldn't work f

Thanks so much for that dictionary file, Ricardo. That sounds like exactly what I was hoping for ... a means of listening to the text from start to finish and hearing when there is a capital letter :)

I agree Brian ... mind you my dissertation is in poetry so doesn't necessarily folow the same grammar rules as prose. I do have a friendly proof reader and will be running it by her before submission,

given the suggestions about regular expression searches, would it be possible to write a regular expression for NVDA's speech dictionary where a capital letter anywehre gets spoken as, for example, Ho

Hi all, I am well aware of the NVDA settings for indicating capital letters with beeps or saying "cap" before capitals and the pitch change to indicate capitls. What I really want to find a way to do

I downloaded the Word with NVDA tutorial last year but the files are on a laptop that died a death yesterday. I want to download the zip file again but am getting a file not found error, despite my pu

I added dictionary entries so that they get spoken how I wish. It has worked for me, though I've only done it for the left and right versions, “” and ‘ which I get NVDA to say "left/right quote" for t

thanks for the replies. I'm very impressed to see a website taking so much time to improve their screen reader accessibility :) This was the test page that they set up. It contains 4 images of differe
