say blank lines
|
Brice Mijares
How do I go about preventing NVDA from saying blank when going through email using the down arrow? And why do some people insist on putting a blank line between sentences? thanks

You might try tweaking symbol pronunciation for the symbol "null". That's the only thing I can find where "blank" is what's said. That poses dangers if you actually need to edit a document and care about paragraph breaks.
The main reason for putting a blank line in is for a paragraph break. I know of one regular on one of these groups who has the idiosyncratic formatting habit of making each and individual sentence set apart from the next by a blank line, but it's certainly not standard practice. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

I'm not sure if you can. I'll try an
experiment. But why are you down arrowing through messages? Are you
using speak to end? Blank won't be spoken.

You can cause blank not to be spoken by using the
speech dictionary in NVDA. I don't know how much information you
need. do you know how to use the dictionary? Put the word blank in
the field where you place the original item. Then type a space in the
pronounced as field.
But if you do this, the word blank will never be
spoken anywhere.

Thanks for the info. No, I don't want to loose the word space. If I remember correctly, there was an option in Window Eyes that you could check or uncheck to prevent it from echoing blank lines. Maybe in the future NVDA will have this setting as well. thank you.

I believe there was such an option. But
again, are you regularly down arrowing through messages and if so,
why?

No, I don't normally down arrow, just when I want to catch something I wasn't sure I heard correctly, or a spelling of a word, ETC. Thank You.

Not sure they do. If you maximise the window do you still get them, if so then its just the way the text is formatted.

One idea of course might be to have a setting in the nvda prefs that said If a read only edit field do not say blank lines.

The only reason I edit cursor wise in messages is to try to see spellings or perhaps to find out why an apparent link is not a link even when seen in html.
