Using NVDA sleep mode in an application
|
Frank Ventura
Hi all, I have a self voicing application. When I launch the application I can put NVDA to sleep using CAPS LOCK SHIFT Z and that orks. However, I need to do it everytime I launch that application. Is there a means of setting that automatically for that application? Thanks Frank

Hi
You could always setup a profile to put nvda to sleep I am pretty sure it would work for that application.

Hi, The most effective solution is an app module that’ll put NVDA to sleep for this app. The second best solution is to use an app-specific profile and change speech synthesizer to “no speech” for this app. Cheers, Joseph

OK, thanks I created a new profile for that application. How do I tell the profile to use no speech?

Hi Frank,
I believe you can. When you are working in that self voicing program, and you have NVDA in sleep mode, hit NVDA-control-c this will save the current configuration settings and the next time you're in that self voicing program, NVDA should automatically go into sleep mode. Hope that makes sense.

Hi, After creating the profile, close the Configuration Profiles window. Switch to the app, and the app-specific profile will become active. At this point, press Control+NVDA+S to open Synthesizer dialog and choose ‘no speech” and press ENTER. Then switch away from the app and back to the app to make sure NVDA would become silent. Cheers, Joseph

It won't work because when NVDA is asleep, by
definition, no NVDA commands will work. Being asleep means it does
nothing. The only command that will work is the command to wake it up
again. If it seems to work it is because, if you turn sleep on, then leave
the Window and return, sleep will resume. But that will happen whether you
save the configuration or not. NVDA is asleep whenever you reenter the
window for that application during that session of NVDA running unless you turn
sleep off in that application. But the setting can't be saved and it won't
carry over from session to session.

Hi,
Good to know, I haven't done much with profiles in NVDA though I have had a student ask me about that so, I'll be checking it out.

Hi
I was thinking also changing nvda to no speech with nvda key + S should do it.
I am guessing it should work rather than the sleep one i would have to set up a profile to check.

The sleep mode and also using the nvda key + S does not work, so would or should work with going into the synth settings and settings that to no speech could work in the profile.
I usually just toggle off the speech when i go into a self voicing program. then turn it back on after wards.

Yes it does but a word of warning, in some applications that self voice multiple exe files run and you may need to set each one up as you find it so all are covered. Guide is a case in point.

Well with it running you select whatever parameters you need in all the dialogues as normal and they should only occur when that executable is running in the foreground. That has been my experience. There is as I recall a small add in that can do the same but since profiles I've not used it.

Hmm, it worked here, but I do know that some apps have multiple exe files which means doing it for all of them. Do you have a copy of the app module that forces sleep mode on exe identification. I do have it installed on a number of machines except of course the one here at home....

It is extremely simple to modify if I recall, and it uses true sleep mode too. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal email to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Yes but the no speech mode should work as it is just not saying anything.

Hi,
I think you’d have to create a profile for that application first, then switch on sleep mode in that profile.
All the best
