Janet, might I ask what keys you're pressing to find material on screen?

I ask this because NVDA can work w/2 versions of the find command. The well-known one is control f. That one actually is generally owned by the particular application in use, ie, Word, Notepad, etc. The 2nd 1, NVDA +control + f, is generally used in a "virtual cursor" situation, ie, a web browser, etc. So I guess the question I'm really asking--& taking the very very long way around the barn to do it--is whether you've tried both commands w/this program.

Also, regarding your voices thread, I note that your email is a Canadian one, so you should have Canadian voices installed by default, & I suspect that's what you're hearing. If so, you're correct--they're absolutely stunning--& the good news for you is that you won't likely even have to install them, as they already are if you've set your region to Canada.

Hi Brian,



No, not harsh at all.



I am trying to use a medical transcription program called InScribe,
version 7. Unfortunately, for anyone to help, they would have to have
the software installed on their computer. I just thought I would ask
just to see whether anyone had any general tips/tricks they might have
found helpful in similar situations with other programs, not necessarily this specific program.



Thanks anyway,



Janet

Janet,

Several points, and none meant to sound as harsh as they may be taken to be:

1. What is the "complicated transcription program"? Generalities do
not help. Identifying software and version is essential as no one can
divine what you're using nor know whether they've used it themselves.

2. I presume this is medical transcription, and understand the
privacy concerns. But can you not replicate the issue when you create
a "junk document" where you paste in completely non-private text from somewhere?
That would potentially allow someone to offer remote assistance or for
you to share the screen.

There is no way, really, to assist based on the dearth of specific
information. Any potential assistant needs to know what program(s)
are involved, or websites, etc.

Hi Jackie,

It is another Janet who was asking about voices for NVDA. AS for "find", I
have tried both versions.

Thanks,

This is one reason I really encourage people who want to use their given names to, at the very least, give the initial letter of their surname when setting up an account.

I can't count the number of Chrises and Mikes, to name but two, that I see within and across groups.  And remembering which Chris or Mike is which is a PITA.

Groups.io actually gives you the ability to tweak your Display Name, among other things, on this specific account page:  https://groups.io/account?page=profile&member_info_id=0 
You do, of course, have to log in or be logged in prior to going there.  Even if you choose a distinctive display name that's better than a single, dirt common (and that's not an insult, just an observation, as Brian is about as dirt common as given names come) display name.  Hence the reason I chose to have my full, real name as my Display Name.  But I could have gone with something like "Bri the Tech Guy" and it would still be very easy to distinguish me from all the other Brians who show up simply as "Brian" or with no display name at all.
