I would say yes! NVDA and many add ons
have either been changed quite a bit or some features and add ons
probably didn't even exists back then. And I could always use a
refresher course on what I think I already know! There may be a
few things I'm missing!
:-)
Thanks much!

words/phrases I have trouble understanding the spoken
words/phrases!
They still have not come up with a hearing aid that will
adjust itself to different voice cadences.
Thank You! For all the help that you provide to us NVDA users
on a daily basis!!!

Dear global NVDA community,
After reading recent threads on various
NVDA lists and looking at some tweets, I find myself asking if
I should do it again: record the 2018 edition of the popular
“Welcome to NVDA” tutorials set. The thing is, there are more
superb tutorials out now, including NV Access’s own Basic
Training module. I do understand that many folks have come to
know NVDA through my tutorials and some tutorials used mine as
a reference or a guide.
For reference, the 2015 edition of this
tutorials set can be found at:
http://www.josephsl.net/tutorials
If the community says I should record the
2018 edition, it’ll be done with some conditions:
- The tutorial will be based on a
combination of 2017.4 and latest snapshot features.
- I’ll be using Windows 10 Version
1709 (Fall Creators Update).
- I will not ask for payment for
this set; if you insist on paying me, I’d rather ask you to
donate to NV Access.
- If possible, I’ll come up with a
text transcript and a way for folks to provide edits via
pull requests on GitHub.
- I’ll be moving away from Internet
Explorer for browse mode demonstrations, opting for Firefox
and Microsoft Edge.
Below is a list of changes between 2015 and
2018 editions provided you say I should do it:
- I’ll be using Windows OneCore
voices for most speech demos.
- Chapter 1 (Intro) will be
expanded and re-recorded to improve recording quality, as
well as adding additional information such as command line
switches to start a portable copy after creating one and a
note on Controlled Folder Access.
- Chapter 2 (Basics) will go over
more touchscreen possibilities, some command changes
(including copying the contents of status bars) and others.
- Chapter 3 (Objects and object
navigation) will feature new examples, especially more
universal app examples.
- Chapter 4 (Browsing the web) will
feature reading PDF documents with Microsoft Edge, turning
off single letter navigation commands on the fly and
elements list improvements.
- Chapter 5 (Apps) will feature new
and updated examples.
- Chapters 6 and 7 (Configuration)
will feature new settings, including Windows 10 OCR and many
others.
- Chapter 8 (tools) will feature
content recognition.
- Chapter 9 (Add-ons) will feature
new and updated examples, including Remote Support add-on.
- Addenda may include a word on
ARM64 support, development snapshots and what not.
Comments are appreciated.
Cheers,
Joseph

OK, 1 make sure the voice is slow enough for new users. Most of the tutorials I hear on the internet are using voices running way too fast. Next, I think that a little time needs to be spent in the snapshot tutorial about how to use Github without going bald. I am not that thick but I still find it cluttered and very hard to use.
Is Edge really any better for pdfs than Adobe? The big issue is as we all know the clueless people who compile them with no tagging of content reading order changes.
Firefox. Would you be using ESR or attempting to cover the new Quantum version which even when it can be made to function is still like a duck with a broken leg. OK in the water but tends to swim in circles a lot!
Also of course I know that you are about to embark in a major upgrade to nvda to use a version of Python better able to cope with newer systems, and this is bound to start throwing unexpected spanners into the air to fall who knows where for a while, so its a good time to get folk used to diagnosing and working around any problems by giving them a bit of a lesson in the logic to find where problems might be etc. Just my few penneths worth.

One of the nice things about using something like the MS voices is that you don't have to slow them down as much, even for new folks, because they sound a lot closer to human than do voices like e-speak or even eloquence.

I don't think it’s a good idea to have the voice be
painfully slow, as accomodating new users might be for more experienced
users. I would suggest doing what I do in tutorials. I have the
speech speak at a good rate for experienced users, but I repeat things that are
said so the inexperienced listener will know what has been said. I haven't
done a tutorial in quite some time and I don't recall if I say everything or
just about everything the speech says, but I repeat everything as I move through
a dialog, a ribbon, a menu, etc. I repeat everything that matters so users
can tell what they need to know. My system accomodates both new and
experienced synthesized speech users..

Hi all, mostly for Brian, If you want to get a “preview” of what I’m thinking of doing, take a look at Windows 10 build series (same website as my current tutorials), especially the very last one (build 17025). That should give folks an idea as to what the “tutorial set” could sound like. Cheers, Joseph

If you want to get a "preview" of what I'm thinking of doing, take a look at Windows 10 build series (same website as my current tutorials), especially the very last one (build 17025). That should give folks an idea as to what the "tutorial set" could sound like.
Cheers,

I don't think it's a good idea to have the voice be painfully slow, as accomodating new users might be for more experienced users. I would suggest doing what I do in tutorials. I have the speech speak at a good rate for experienced users, but I repeat things that are said so the inexperienced listener will know what has been said. I haven't done a tutorial in quite some time and I don't recall if I say everything or just about everything the speech says, but I repeat everything as I move through a dialog, a ribbon, a menu, etc. I repeat everything that matters so users can tell what they need to know. My system accomodates both new and experienced synthesized speech users..

OK, 1 make sure the voice is slow enough for new users. Most of the tutorials I hear on the internet are using voices running way too fast. Next, I think that a little time needs to be spent in the snapshot tutorial
about how to use Github without going bald. I am not that thick but I still
find it cluttered and very hard to use.
Is Edge really any better for pdfs than Adobe? The big issue is as we all know the clueless people who compile them with no tagging of content reading
order changes.
Firefox. Would you be using ESR or attempting to cover the new Quantum version which even when it can be made to function is still like a duck with
a broken leg. OK in the water but tends to swim in circles a lot!
Also of course I know that you are about to embark in a major upgrade to nvda to use a version of Python better able to cope with newer systems, and
this is bound to start throwing unexpected spanners into the air to fall who
knows where for a while, so its a good time to get folk used to diagnosing and working around any problems by giving them a bit of a lesson in the logic to find where problems might be etc. Just my few penneths worth. Brian

Dear global NVDA community,
After reading recent threads on various NVDA lists and looking at some tweets, I find myself asking if I should do it again: record the 2018 edition of the popular "Welcome to NVDA" tutorials set. The thing is, there are more superb tutorials out now, including NV Access's own Basic Training module. I do understand that many folks have come to know NVDA through my tutorials and some tutorials used mine as a reference or a guide.
For reference, the 2015 edition of this tutorials set can be found at:
http://www.josephsl.net/tutorials
If the community says I should record the 2018 edition, it'll be done with some conditions:
* The tutorial will be based on a combination of 2017.4 and latest snapshot features. * I'll be using Windows 10 Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update). * I will not ask for payment for this set; if you insist on paying me, I'd rather ask you to donate to NV Access. * If possible, I'll come up with a text transcript and a way for folks to provide edits via pull requests on GitHub. * I'll be moving away from Internet Explorer for browse mode demonstrations, opting for Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
Below is a list of changes between 2015 and 2018 editions provided you say I should do it:
* I'll be using Windows OneCore voices for most speech demos. * Chapter 1 (Intro) will be expanded and re-recorded to improve recording quality, as well as adding additional information such as command line switches to start a portable copy after creating one and a note on Controlled Folder Access. * Chapter 2 (Basics) will go over more touchscreen possibilities, some command changes (including copying the contents of status bars) and others. * Chapter 3 (Objects and object navigation) will feature new examples, especially more universal app examples. * Chapter 4 (Browsing the web) will feature reading PDF documents with Microsoft Edge, turning off single letter navigation commands on the fly and elements list improvements. * Chapter 5 (Apps) will feature new and updated examples. * Chapters 6 and 7 (Configuration) will feature new settings, including Windows 10 OCR and many others. * Chapter 8 (tools) will feature content recognition. * Chapter 9 (Add-ons) will feature new and updated examples, including Remote Support add-on. * Addenda may include a word on ARM64 support, development snapshots and what not.
Comments are appreciated.
Cheers,
Joseph
