I agree your view.
If newer nvda or nvda-addon had a feature about make a tag by own on graphic, for example, we will add a describe on graphic that is alt = "" or no alt, the graphic should be show let us tag.

thank you for much

There is a difference between the alt attribute not being present and alt="" (null alt text) on a graphic. When the alt attribute is not present, screen readers often default to speaking the filename of an image. However, when alt="" is present, the image is ignored by screen readers. This is by design. Alt="" is supposed to be used for images that convey no content, but are decorative in nature.
However, you bring up a good point. It is impossible for screen reader users to navigate to these graphics. Hence, if a screen reader user wanted to copy an image with alt="" there would be no way to accomplish this. Perhaps NVDA could provide an option to not ignore images with null alt text. Of course, NVDA could only speak the filename of the graphic. If this option existed, I would want to know if the image encountered would be one with null alt text. I would assume the state of this option would be disabled and that a user could enable it when desired.

Regarding collapsed vs expanded. Visually, when a section can be expanded (hence, it is collapsed) a plus sign is displayed. Visually, a user could click on the plus sign to expand the section or menu. Also, when a section is expanded, a minus sign is displayed allowing a user to click on the minus sign to collapse the tree. This is why your braille display displays the way it does. The plus and minus characters do not indicate the state of the tree or menu, but the action that can be taken.

yes, I can accept your explanation of the plus sign.

about graphic,
you said "you reproduce the underlying name of the graphic its a very long and meaningless text string in any case"
I think it is a link to the graphic will be like this,
but if it is a simple graphic have not link and set onclick event on it,
we will lost it when use nvda screen reader.

I think it depends on how you think of it.
IE there are always two ways.
if it says plus it could mean you have expanded it or it could mean
it can be expanded.



I'm not sure what you mean about untagged graphics though. Often if
you reproduce the underlying name of the graphic its a very long and
meaningless text string in any case.

Hi all:

I have two suggestions about nvda browse on website.

First, nvda will be lost graphic when the graphic has no any "alt
text", example: alt = "" or no alt attribute.
this design let us no method click it (if is can onclick) or make
something for this graphic (if download the graphic) because this
graphic is gone in nvda's world, so I hope nvda still show this
graphic by "gra" or some signed, tell us graphic has exists.
I think if later nvda can do the mark on the graph, then the graph
should be displayed anyway.

Second, the wai-aria attribute "aria-expanded" show condition is
put upside down.
if aria-expanded = false, nvda will announce "collapsed" is right
but braille display show "+" (plus), if aria-expanded = true, nvda
will announce "expanded" is right but braille display show "-"
(minus).
Is not the plus and minus the opposite display?
or I would like to know why the plus sign is collapsed and minus is
expanded yet?
Because this thinking seems to be somewhat different from our Asians.

There is also the malicious tool removal. From the run dialog box, type mrt.exe and hit enter and follow the prompts.

Please create a new thread for new questions - don't reply to an existing
topic and change the subject.

This matters greatly to people who uses threaded readers, because the new
question appears in the context of the old thread, when it had nothing to do
with that thread, and it does not show up as a new top-level start of a thread
as it should.

Thanks,

Both superantispyware and malwarebytes seem to have parts of themselves that need either screen nav or don't work. I'm using the former and if you wait for prompts to update then the screens seem to work OK. The big issue is unselecting found items in that software.

Well I use malwarebytes to scan a system, but as for keeping it on the system, no, windows defender handles a lot of the stuff one needs to bother with and the more advanced stuff are just not accessible enough for my liking.

And when they are, ie sophos, if we have a problem a false positive its to quick to flag and then we have issues.

If a false positive is flagged, we need to exclude it reinstall the program and hope it works or in the case of one of my friends that had the issue, reformat, exclude and hope they don't have to reformat again.

I really don't care for antimalware tools anyway I run malwarebytes when I need to but then its off again, it will handle a scan, and a clear out as long as I don'

't give a stuff what I am deleting and usually I don't.

I think it depends on how you think of it.
IE there are always two ways.
if it says plus it could mean you have expanded it or it could mean
it can be expanded.



I'm not sure what you mean about untagged graphics though. Often if
you reproduce the underlying name of the graphic its a very long and

Subject: [nvda] two suggestions about nvda on web


Hi all:

 I have two suggestions about nvda browse on website.

 First, nvda will be lost graphic when the graphic has no any "alt
text", example: alt = "" or no alt attribute.
this design let us no method click it (if is can onclick) or make
something for this graphic (if download the graphic) because this
graphic is gone in nvda's world, so I hope nvda still show this
graphic by "gra" or some signed, tell us graphic has exists.
I think if later nvda can do the mark on the graph, then the graph
should be displayed anyway.

 Second, the wai-aria attribute "aria-expanded" show condition is
put upside down.
if aria-expanded = false, nvda will announce "collapsed" is right
but braille display show "+" (plus), if aria-expanded = true, nvda
will announce "expanded" is right but braille display show "-"
(minus).
Is not the plus and minus the opposite display?
or I would like to know why the plus sign is collapsed and minus is
expanded yet?
Because this thinking seems to be somewhat different from our Asians.

Since you use malwarebytes from time to time, why do you not keep it installed
on your machine? Is there a problem with doing that?

Also, you say you "run malwarebytes when you need to". How do you know when
you need to? Do you just hope that any malware shows itself as strange
behaviour on your system, rather than just doing something sinister in the
background?

I guess not, however I don't run it unless its needed, I don't care for its nag screens and I really don't need to run it every year only if someone says something is wrong or something, if there was a portable or something like that I could take round on a drive it would be a different matter.

Usually when I service a machine especially in a business, the admins say what is x doing on my system, its probably malware.

So usually I have the set software I absolutely need for myself.

that is ccleaner, dimention4 and 7zip if I need that.

Some have cdbxp for if I need that.

I don't generally need malwarebytes.

In fact if something goes wrong and I need to security scan the system that could add hours to my work.

Every year I will fix user issues, update and make sure it works.

I don't have time or the want to fix issues caused by security software.

3 times during my servicing span I have had this issue.

Once it was malware and I had to scramble to fix dammage.

The other 2 though in one case, the  security icons and such had confused the user so much he ended up installing malware to fix the icons that scared him forcing me to have to declutter and tell him what was and what was not.

On another case the security software said there was a problem, and the user freaked out and installed loads and loads of things they didn't need meaning I was awake for 3 days mostly clearing junk.

In another instance, the same user had the same issue all it boiled down to was some issue with a program, a bug I was able to report and which got fixed but the user went totally bonkas with the system and I had to reformat to fix it.

In short I like to keep it simple.

If its not needed I kill it.

Now if malwarebytes was like 100-500mb I'd probably keep it up but its only like 20mb really and for the time I need it which is almost never well.

Fact is the interface is not really accessible, but I use it for what I need it for then kill it.

If there are portable scan only security tools that work just as well that I can carry round with me on a memmory stick and not eve have to install then thats different.

CCleaner is fine to install for me so I can just be quick though I know a portable exists for that but the rest.

I have it, and I am pretty sure it's just the background processing that does not work after the trial version. The on-demand scanning, which is what the programme is actually useful for in my view, still works, and definitions still can be updated.

I keep it around and it has saved me at least once. I installed a programme that included a bunch of other baggage. I didn't realise I was allowing this other stuff to be installed, which all automatically started running on my machine. None of it was exactly malicious as such, but it was definitely unwanted. A quick MB scan revealed the culprits and I was able to clear everything in a relatively short time. Mostly this was a lot of crap in the registry, including a homepage and search redirect. Of course it's my fault for letting this stuff install in the first place, but my screen-reader (JAWS at the time) was not telling me what was on the screen, even with the use of the JAWS cursor, so I just hit the next button a whole bunch of times, and that's all it takes, sometimes. Lesson learned, but it made me glad I keep MalwareBytes around, you know?

Hi,


Check out either super antispyware or malware bytes.  They have both got
free and professional editions and can both be used with NVDA. You can
grab the free editions from www.ninite.com.    The super antispyware
programs however require you to work using object navigation. If you
have the OBJ pad add on, it makes navigating it a piece of cake.

yes, I can accept your explanation of the plus sign.

about graphic,
you said "you reproduce the underlying name of the graphic its a very long and meaningless text string in any case"
I think it is a link to the graphic will be like this,
but if it is a simple graphic have not link and set onclick event on it,
we will lost it when use nvda screen reader.


thank you for much

IE there are always two ways.
if it says plus it could mean you have expanded it or it could mean
it can be expanded.



I'm not sure what you mean about untagged graphics though. Often if
you reproduce the underlying name of the graphic its a very long and
meaningless text string in any case.

Hi all:

I have two suggestions about nvda browse on website.

First, nvda will be lost graphic when the graphic has no any
"alt text", example: alt = "" or no alt attribute.
this design let us no method click it (if is can onclick) or make
something for this graphic (if download the graphic) because this
graphic is gone in nvda's world, so I hope nvda still show this
graphic by "gra" or some signed, tell us graphic has exists.
I think if later nvda can do the mark on the graph, then the graph
should be displayed anyway.

Second, the wai-aria attribute "aria-expanded" show condition is
put upside down.
if aria-expanded = false, nvda will announce "collapsed" is right
but braille display show "+" (plus), if aria-expanded = true, nvda
will announce "expanded" is right but braille display show "-"
(minus).
Is not the plus and minus the opposite display?
or I would like to know why the plus sign is collapsed and minus is
expanded yet?
Because this thinking seems to be somewhat different from our Asians.

Yeah I like that, sadly it does not protect from every checkbox and its not updated.

If the checkbox is straight then its fine but if its one of those imbedded boxes like the avast one in ccleaner or some of the opencandy or whatever they call themselves, there is no way in hoho land its going to pick that up.

Its really good with website checkboxes but bar adobe and maybe google no one uses that stuff anymore.

I have it, and I am pretty sure it's just the background processing that does not work after the trial version. The on-demand scanning, which is what the programme is actually useful for in my view, still works, and definitions still can be updated.

I keep it around and it has saved me at least once. I installed a programme that included a bunch of other baggage. I didn't realise I was allowing this other stuff to be installed, which all automatically started running on my machine. None of it was exactly malicious as such, but it was definitely unwanted. A quick MB scan revealed the culprits and I was able to clear everything in a relatively short time. Mostly this was a lot of crap in the registry, including a homepage and search redirect. Of course it's my fault for letting this stuff install in the first place, but my screen-reader (JAWS at the time) was not telling me what was on the screen, even with the use of the JAWS cursor, so I just hit the next button a whole bunch of times, and that's all it takes, sometimes. Lesson learned, but it made me glad I keep MalwareBytes around, you know?

Hi,
It has a trial period after which it locks up.  That is why it is installed, used, then killed before the trial runs out.

Since you use malwarebytes from time to time, why do you not keep it installed on your machine?  Is there a problem with doing that?

Also, you say you "run malwarebytes when you need to".  How do you know when you need to?  Do you just hope that any malware shows itself as strange behaviour on your system, rather than just doing something sinister in the background?

Well I use malwarebytes to scan a system, but as for keeping it on the

And when they are, ie sophos, if we have a problem a false positive
its to quick to flag and then we have issues.

If a false positive is flagged, we need to exclude it reinstall the
program and hope it works or in the case of one of my friends that had
the issue, reformat, exclude and hope they don't have to reformat again.

I really don't care for antimalware tools anyway I run malwarebytes
when I need to but then its off again, it will handle a scan, and a
clear out as long as I don't give a stuff what I am deleting and usually I don't.

Hi,


Check out either super antispyware or malware bytes. They have both got free and professional editions and can both be used with NVDA. You can grab the free editions from www.ninite.com. The super antispyware programs however require you to work using object navigation. If you have the OBJ pad add on, it makes navigating it a piece of cake.

I agree your view.
If newer nvda or nvda-addon had a feature about make a tag by own on graphic, for example, we will add a describe on graphic that is alt = "" or no alt, the graphic should be show let us tag.

There is a difference between the alt attribute not being present and alt="" (null alt text) on a graphic. When the alt attribute is not present, screen readers often default to speaking the filename of an image. However, when alt="" is present, the image is ignored by screen readers. This is by design. Alt="" is supposed to be used for images that convey no content, but are decorative in nature.
However, you bring up a good point. It is impossible for screen reader users to navigate to these graphics. Hence, if a screen reader user wanted to copy an image with alt="" there would be no way to accomplish this. Perhaps NVDA could provide an option to not ignore images with null alt text. Of course, NVDA could only speak the filename of the graphic. If this option existed, I would want to know if the image encountered would be one with null alt text. I would assume the state of this option would be disabled and that a user could enable it when desired.

Regarding collapsed vs expanded. Visually, when a section can be expanded (hence, it is collapsed) a plus sign is displayed. Visually, a user could click on the plus sign to expand the section or menu. Also, when a section is expanded, a minus sign is displayed allowing a user to click on the minus sign to collapse the tree. This is why your braille display displays the way it does. The plus and minus characters do not indicate the state of the tree or menu, but the action that can be taken.

Hi Tony,
Happy new year to you too. Thank you for your help and kindness. I downloaded Malwarebytes and installed it. I will try the Obj Pad add on. Does it have a tutorial? Since you offered to help, I'll ask. I have been struggling with IE11, it always chokes and freezes after I launch it. After restarting it, it is so sluggish to the point it is useless. The only reason I would like to keep using IE11, is the ability to use RSS feeds to track specific info on companies or topics. I have not find a way to use RSS on Chromes, Edge, or Firefox. I did reset IE11 with no success. Any feedback or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Blessings
