No, Brian, I do not mean 1909! I copied the information from NVDA's speech viewer which was reporting the info from the winver app. I have just double checked it and it is still saying version 1903. G

Hi Quentin, I'd actually be quite interested in a guide to using Access with NVDA. I've just applied for a job that involves a lot of data analysis ... something I used to do with Access in my sighted

Hi Joseph, I'm using voice Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States) with the Microsoft Speech API version 5 synthesiser. I've just tried it with one of the other voices in SAPI5, Hazel, and th

Hi all, just wondering if anybody else is experienceing problems closing the speech viewer window since updating to 2019.3? I remember a similar thread back in 2018 (10/19/18 #49366) and I don't know

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
