Reading MS Outlook emails with UIA settings
|
Hi, To add to Brian’s remarks, I would say not many users are aware of UIA settings as it is housed under Advanced settings category, although that might be changing as I and others talked about what they are and how they work in recent posts. As for these settings being optimized for configuration profiles, not really - this is true for selective UIA event registration setting as changing it requires restarting NVDA due to the way NVDA communicates with UI Automation facility on Windows. Cheers, Joseph

It's safest to presume that the majority of your users will have "out of the box" settings for most everything. Of course, there will be exceptions, and that's exactly what they are, exceptions to the general rule. -- 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.

I would highly recommend that you first start by creating a profile

for outlook, that way the UAI changes only apply to outlook. From the NVDA menu select: Configuration profiles. You could either create a manual profile so you can turn on UAI only when desired. Or you could set it as an automatic profile )assuming you opened the NVDA menu while Outlook was the focused application) You can enable UAI in the NVDA settings. preferences -> settings -> advanced Read the warning and check the box to say you understand the risk Go to the "Microsoft UI Automation" section I turned on: 1. Enable selective registration for UI Automation events and property changes 2. Use UI Automation to access Microsoft Word document controls when available On 5/5/21, Vaibhav Saraf <vaibhav.s.acc@...> wrote:

Hi Group, In recent times I have seen many discussions around reading Outlook emails with UIA settings on. Today I got a particular instance where I might need to use that. My teammate sent me a shape from Outlook Insert tab options with an alt on it. NVDA doesn't recognizes it, Narrator reads it comfortably. I guess it can be a protocol issue. Can someone guide me on how to turn on UIA in my NVDA? Also there is a question from my teammate's side. If she is going to put this in a marketing campaign and send then what is the amount of users she will be actually addressing? Considering that most sr users in her target are NVDA users. In general how many users would be reading Outlook emails with UIA on? Thanks, Vaibhav |
