Hi all, this is a follow-up to my question about why NVDA didn't find any images using the g shortcut keystroke on the Borrow My Doggy website when sighted members told me they could see the photos of

That is interesting, thanks Quentin. SO if an ALT tag was empty NVDA wouldn't just speak it, it would not even appear as a graphical object? You are correct, the site does need you to log in. I've bee

Hi all, I installed the update to NVDA 2019.2 this afternoon and have just installed an update to Win10 (Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.950) I used the Install Update and Re-start option. As Win10 re-st

Hi all, this is only really a matter of curiosity since I couldn't see the photos even if NVDA could detect them, but it doesn't find any images with the g shortcut other than the Borrow My Doggy logo

I was sighted in the early days of the internet (1990s) so websites I designed were hand-coded html and I still do that now in my blind Wordpress blog posts. I don't do anything more advanced than hea

I think the best you can get is by Alt-Tabbing from WinAmp to a different Window and back, at which point you hear the track title. One thing I have noticed, and I don't know if it's a Windows update

Hi Josh, not as far as I'm aware. I actually would like to do the opposite, occasionally be able to make punctuation pause longer! Sometimes I use NVDA to perform poetry to an audience (my memory capa

Hi Brandon, I use the latest version of iTunes on a Win10 PC. iTunes is sometimes tricky to navigate but it is just a question of getting used to it. In the help menu (annoyingly the names of the menu

Hi Surendra and Marcio, the keystroke to cycle through the options doesn't include the shift key. On my system (Win10, NVDA 2019.1.1) I press NVDA+CTRL plus the left or right arrows, and then NVDA+CTR

Hi Gene, thanks for trying this site. Sorry for forgetting to mention my browser ... I use Firefox and also tried it in Internet Explorer. When you talk about tabbing around the page, the "dialogue" e

thanks, Brian. I'll try again and see if I can get through it using your advice :) Giles

Hi all, I have applied for a job in the UK Civil Service and I have until 10th July to complete a short Situational Judgement Test. There is a website to practice the types of things that the test wil

I'm no wiser how it happened but the problem has been fixed! I deduced it was either a problem with the soundcard, the soundcard driver or the actual laptop speakers. I plugged a pair of headphones in

Hi all, I'll be cross-posting this to the BCAB email list because I'm not sure if it's an NVDA-specific issue, a windows update issue or a Dell-laptop issue. Let me explain what is happening. Yesterda

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier . There is another option that works similarly to the idea of writing down the stop points in a text file, but this has the advantage that you can load the file

related to this, any time info such as version numbers is required, I start up NVDA's speach viewer (in the tools menu) so whatever is spoken aloud can be copied and pasted from the speech viewer wind

Hi Troy, you can get NVDA not to say "Desktop List" if you add it as a dictionary entry. I just tried it and NVDA only says "Desktop" when I use NVDA+m to minimise to the desktop. At first nothing hap

Hi Shaun, I'm not sure I agree with much of this! I like audio ducking a lot becuase there are often websites that start things playing too loudly and there is no way to navigate to the volume control

thanks Gene and Brian for those comments. Yes, I realise why it is happening and I just wondered if there were any way to stop it happening without the need to turn NVDA's speech temporarily off (I pr

Hi all, I have two related cases of NVDA speaking information while I am typing that is not *what* I'm typing. I'm wondering if there is any way to disable this. I'll detail the two different cases se
