But once you do this NVDA is off, completely off, without being shut down. You must toggle again to bring it back. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.

That said, I have found a periodic use for beeps speech mode, when performing a long, automated process in which NVDA is chatty, and wanting to be able to walk away from the computer and know when the process is done, but not be bothered by speech. For example: encoding a large mpeg file, updating certain applications, etc. In these cases, the periodic beeps let me know something is still happening, without being overly distracting as speech would be. As a consequence, I have stopped using the add-on In this particular case, there may be some value to knowing that NVDA is trying to tell you something it thinks is meaningful during a Skype call, without actually having to be distracted with the resultant speech. There is also the option of using NVDA Sleep Mode, the...within the app in which the command is performed. Other apps and services will still speak. Luke |

Of course, here's a case where being sighted, which I am, and able to view the status sans a screen reader makes all the difference. I can absolutely understand how beeps speech mode could be handy every once in a while, particularly with long-running processing you want to be able to walk away from and monitor whether it's completed yet. I didn't know that NVDA Sleep mode was application specific. Is there another command that allows for NVDA output to be suspended, entirely, while not requiring that one exit it? I could have sworn there was, but perhaps not. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.

However, the beeps are much too high frequency. I find them very annoying. They should be much lower in tone.

If you want that, I don't know of anything, but then I can't imagine why having that would be easier than unloading NVDA. Setting your speech synth to "No speech" will do something similar to speech mode off, and I suppose you can do that with a profile, which you can't do with sleep mode. Luke |

Maybe I've missed some posts on thisthread. The simplest way to pause and resume nvda reading is to press the shift key, like a toggle, off and on. It works. Cheers, Monte -----Original Message-----

Hi You can use the shift key to pause /resume speech when a “say all” command has been issued but I don’t think it will work to block message announcements during a Skype call.

Hi all.
Is possible that some installers have a message wile the process is runing, that says, for example, coping files to c:\program files\example or similar. So, is the installer have this mesages but a progress bar not is here, the speech mode on beep can make a sound that stop when the process is finished. Regards.

I don't know if an add-on allows such things to be blocked. I just turn off speech, as has already been discussed. The shift command only pauses speech during read all or read to end or whatever its called. Control only stops current speech and won't affect announcements such as we are discussing.

However, at times, it may be useful to hear an announcement. Perhaps you might want to lower NVDA volume so you hear announcements but much more softly. Gene -----Original Message-----
