third party rss readers

Has anyone found a desktop rss reader that works well with NVDA? I'm currently using goread.io, which is a distinctly dissatisfactory service. -- Christopher Bartlett

Personally I am very happy with the RSS Reader Program provided free along with the other Webbie Accessible Suite of Programs.
There has been a recent slight tsimplification of the program to improve stability where I understand automatic Feed Refresh after the program has been loaded has been removed.
I do not personally find this a problem as all I do is cursor down my list of available feeds. I then hit control R which not only refreshes the feed rapidly but also open up the table of available articles in the feed automatically. then I just press enter on the Feed article and it will load in your browser. Press escape in the article list and you will go back to the feed list. Very simple but it works great.
I paid for the QFeed program from Accessible Apps but to be honest this Free program is far far more stable and fast at loading. RSS Reader has never crashed on me whilst this was a frequent problem with QFeed. Also the support from Alasdair King is good whilst the support on problems with the paid for QFeed is non-existent.

I tried the RSS reader that is a part of the Webbie
package and, while easy to use, I found that notices aren't necessarily in
chronological order. You may want to try it and see what your experience
is but that's one reason I stopped using it, because I didn't have any way to be
sure I wasn't missing new material without looking at every item in the list of
entries for whatever feed I wanted to follow. If others have a solution to
this, it might prove useful to people who want an easy to use reader. I
haven't tried others so I can't directly answer your question but my answer may
help you if you evaluate this reader.

I've not tried it, but there is one in the Webbie suite I think.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between an rss reader and a podcast downloader, as many of those use rss, and store the files offline. The only difference is what the file actually is, audio html or whatever, surely? Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Okay, I remember you gave information on this Webbie suite but I can’t find it at the moment. I have been looking for a good replacement for both (one to do both or one for each) text/article feeds and podcasts. My paid for Qfeed just crashed yesterday and I can’t get it back. Also, I am currently using gpodder for my audio and video podcasts but it is not accessible with NVDA so I have to use it with vision.
My main concerns for rss aggregators is that I can hide individual episodes that have been read/played and only show new episodes/articles.

In an ideal world for me, the feed would simply show me all new articles in chronological order, rather than my having to check each feed individually. When last I tried the accessible rss client, I couldn't do this.

It can't be done as far as I can tell. There
is no setting governing this behavior. This is a serious problem.
The only way to make sure you haven't missed anything is to look at every entry
every day. There is no way to even reduce the problem, as far as I can
tell. I see no way to limit the entries displayed to today's date, which
would go a long way toward solving the problem.

Unfortunately the RSS addon is non free. But you can hide read areticles and delete them; the rss feed is treated like a normal email account.

And when I want to read an article I activate the reading mode. For the iphone instead I use lire rss.

I am not sure what the issue is as you describe it but I may just
not understand.

As I say when I open RSS Newsreader I cursor down to the feed I want to look at. I then hit Control R, this then automatically opens up a list of updated articles arranged chronologically with the newest article at the top of the list. My experience is that there is no delay in opening the feed using this method. The number of articles displayed appeared to vary according to the feed properties. Sometimes the latest 10 are shown whilst with other feeds more articles are loaded. The Player does not automatically refresh but then as you in effect manually refress every time you look at a feed this does not in practice matter at all. By the way the address for the webbie suite is, I am fairly sure www.webbie.org.uk David Griffith David Griffithit

You may see things in order in the feeds you
monitor. I have only used the reader on New York Times feeds and they are
not in order. This same problem is what is being complained about in the
message you are responding to. perhaps the reader looks for a certain
format when determining how to organize feeds. If so, and if The New York
Times doesn't follow this format, its fair to assume that many other feeds don't
follow it either. therefore, it may well be that many feeds aren't
presented in proper order, though some or many others may be. But this
appears to be a serious problem concerning this reader.

I subscribe to well over 100 rss feeds. I do not wish to have to check each feed manually when they vary so much in frequency of posting, from feeds that post many articles a day to those that post irregularly. I want all the articles aggregated into one chronological list, or at least one list, so I don't have to cursor down through a bajillion feeds.

In that case, you could mix the RSS feeds by using services like RSS mix or feed informer. although, feed informer is not for the technologically challenged.

I tried this reader and found that it would not get the latest articles. I added my feeds (via import) and for one particular feed that I double checked it only showed one article from Nov. 19 (it was Nov. 22). I went to the feed manually in firefox and it showed that there were ten new articles for Nov. 22 (not counting the other days between Nov. 19 and Nov. 22).
I will not be using this reader because it is not accurate.
