I can report that the COM Registration Tool in NVDA 2021.2rc1 was able to solve a problem that the version of the tool in 2021.1 was unable to fix. The symptoms were as follows. NVDA was unable to acc

I've used an external, PC-style USB keyboard with my Mac, but not recently. I don't run Windows on the Mac, so I can't comment on that issue. If I remember correctly, the Windows key was mapped to the

I've never had much success using Google Docs with any screen reader - there have always been issues. I usually download the file in Microsoft Word format and read it locally. You can edit it locally

I used it at one point, and it worked as expected. I've forgotten the syntax, so you would need to look that up. I agree. I'm much more comfortable with the BASH shell than with Windows PowerShell. Yo

If the virtual machine has a network interface and runs sshd, you should be able to access it via ssh from the host system, with NVDA working as usual. Another option would be to run a screen reader o

Install MathPlayer 4, then revisit the Wikipedia page with NVDA. You should get Nemeth Code braille.

Have you tried Windows Terminal? NVDA support was added in a somewhat recent release, and further improvements are expected. It can run PowerShell and WSL. My personal preference is to run Linux nativ

You can select your input braille table as well as your output table. Of course, it is entirely your decision whether to enter text using the braille display's keyboard or the host system's qwerty key

It's possible, but I don't know whether such a table is available. Note also that the BrailleExtender add-on for NVDA allows you to switch tables easily - not what you need in this case, but at least

I've never had to do this, but you could visit nvaccess.com and install 2020.3.

You might be able to set the cursor to follow the braille display as you read, which would send cursor movement events to the application and therefore keep the system from suspending.

If it were a Linux system, I might be in a position to help, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with Windows serial port handling or whether BRLTTY supports it. I would suggest asking on the BRLTTY li

It is my understanding that the current version of Skype is based on Electron, which uses Chromium internally. So is Microsoft Teams. From: <nvda@nvda.groups.io> on behalf of mohammad suliman <Mohmad.

Narrator definitely works on Windows 10 installation media. I haven't tried any of the recovery or repair tools that might be available within that environment, but I would expect them to be accessibl

If I open a PDF file in Chrome 81, NVDA describes it as an "embedded object", then fails to read it. JAWS does the same, so I assume something changed in Chrome. On the other hand, VoiceOver for Mac w

Another option is to install Thorium Reader from the Microsoft Store. It supports EPUB books. Bookshare can be set so that it provides downloads in EPUB format. From: <nvda@nvda.groups.io> on behalf o

Are you referring to the consumer version of Skype, or to Skype for Business (which is being replaced by Microsoft Teams)? They’re totally different, notwithstanding the name. From: <nvda@....

While we’re in the digression, I’ve intended to ask this question for a while: How well does NVDA run in a virtual machine on a Mac? In particular, if you have a braille display, is it possible to swi

No, I haven’t experienced this, and I’ve switched between NVDA and JAWS on multiple systems. Could it be related to Tandem? Are you sure that you’re terminating JAWS properly before starting NVDA? It’

Windows 10X could pose challenges, depending on what is involved in making NVDA run in that environment, if it is indeed feasible at all. There’s a real possibility that Windows 10X could represent th
