I used Express VPN for the year between September 2018 and 2019 while I was living in a uni hall of residence so wanted to minimise any potential wifi snooping. I found Express VPN very hard to use wi

Hi Jonathan, using object navigation produced exactly the same result as using the cursor keys ... NVDA said "link" but nothing about what it is a link to. Only using the k shortcut keystroke added th

Hi all, this is just a curiosity question ... I was looking at a website called People Per Hour, a site for freelance jobs. I've only just joined and was investigating the various links on one of the

thanks for the explanation and solution, Tyler :) Much appreciated :) Giles

Hi all, I encountered a strange issue tonight while using a USB sound card. I have experienced it once before but didn't know what had happened, but this time I think I realise what has happened and I

I tried using Express VPN last year but its client was very hard to navigate with NVDA. I figured out how to connect to a VPN but it connected to only one in the whole time I used it whereas I was hop

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

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 all, It must be over a year ago that I mentioned that, on my Asus laptop, NVDA would consistently and apparently randomly, announce the current program's title bar. Replies came to the conclusion t

Sorry Luke and Damien for attributing your comments to the other of you, if that makes sense! :) Gene, I already have the checkbox immediately below the choices of beep/speech and off, report backgrou

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
