Use the short cut command alt a to switch between mute and unmute. I don't know why you don't hear the status spoken fully when you do what you do. When I use alt a with NVDA, I hear the status spoken

You can probably use the speech dictionary. You may have to experiment on how to write what you want not spoken. Then, there is what may be a much easier work around, just turn off speech before you s

I don't know if how it works should be changed because I almost never receive chat messages in the meetings I attend. But it would seem to me that a sound option should be offered along with the optio

I think it is important to think about what the feature should do and how it can be adjusted. I would think that, in many cases, hearing messages read as they come in would be distracting. It might be

All that will do is have the word link not announced. Links will still be read however. That won't solve the problem. There may be some way, using the speech dictionary, but the easiest thing to do is

I don't understand your comments. Programs don't just open unless you take an action. If you give specific examples of where you take an action and want to know if something is opened, we might be abl

Not that I know of, though I may not know of such a setting. I haven't seen one when I've looked through the program. This may not do what you want but in Windows there is, or there used to be and the

You are talking about the editor being used, evidently. When I encounter an editor that has this problem, I type and review my comment in Notepad, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it into the edit

Unless you are already familiar with a form, leaving forms mode and down arrowing through the form, switching to forms mode when necessary, then switching to browse mode and continuing to down arrow,

I didn't pay enough attention when I found the link. I read a little of the file and it looked as though it was fine, but I should have looked for the official page because it might be newer and indee

I just tried the link and it works. this appears to be a case where the link may need to be pasted into the browser's address field and not just clicked on. That's how I tested it now, by pasting it.

I found a correct link by a Google search. I tested it before I sent it. It may be that I didn't copy the correct link or that for some reason, the link was the incorrect one because the new link wasn

Don't worry about the compatibility statements unless they are very old, like NVDA 18 or somewhere around there and no later. Somewhere around NVDA 18 or 19, many add-ons had to be redesigned because

I don't think your message addresses the problem. The problem has nothing to do with double key strokes, it is that the NVDA keys don't work. There may be another reason for this problem, which has co

I doubt you did anything. There is no single command to take the action that has happened. I think it is very likely that you are having a problem I have off and on. All my modifier keys stop working.

I'm not sure how you get into the treeview of folders in Windows 10. For some reason, my Windows 7 machine only shows a list view. I've never known why. But it would be interesting to see what you wou

Your explanation may explain why I didn't hear any announcement. I don't have Thunderbird set to group messages. It should be verified if this is heard in other treeviews. Gene

What makesit look hard to use. A good deal of what a lot of users do involves Windows and program commands. You can do quite a bit if you use a different screen-reader even if you know nothing about t

Do you have the caps lock set as an NVDA key? it doesn't sound like it. If you set the caps lock to work as an NVDA key, the command will work as expected and bring up the links list. Gene

That's a common feature now. Just tab to the no or cancel or whatever is provided in the dialog and cancel the option. I'm not sure what you want to know about it. It is of little or no use to blind u
