Viris g. Rodríguez <vgr.09.15@...>
Hello everybody. I'm Viris Rodríguez and I live in Mexico City.
About a month ago, I bought the InsideOne tablet manufactured by InsideVision. I thought I would be able to get used to the touch screen but I couldn't. Silly, I know. However, I don't want to give it back because I'm not gonna beg Freedomscientific nor Eurobraille. So, I've been looking for an external keyboard to control my tablet. I've recently found the orbit writer, which I really like. But, according to the user guide, it has no NVDA commands to control Windows. I've also checked some qwerty keyboards like the Macally FRcompactkey but I was told it only supported US English. As far as I know, NVDA supports several languages. Is it possible to configure NVDA to enter Spanish characters using a qwerty keyboard? Should I buy the orbit writer or a standard qwerty keyboard? I'm sorry to bother you. Any help would be really appreciated. Sincerely. |

What you buy is up to you.

If you buy a standard qwerty keyboard, you can enter whatever language you want. That's handled by Windows, not NVDA. Tell Windows you want to write in Spanish, and your keyboard will work. If you want the Orbit Writer, you can assign gestures in NVDA's input gestures to control it. You can emulate Windows commands like Alt+F4 with NVDA in Input Gestures, but you'll have to assign each one, and it asks you to enter the gesture (which you need a keyboard for, though the tablet's built-in keyboard might work). If NVDA crashes, you can't simply press alt+ctrl+n like you can on a regular keyboard to restart it, since NVDA is handling the Orbit Writer. You'd have to restart it from the tablet. I've tried one with NVDA, and For me, NVDA needs to be restarted every time the Orbit Writer turns off to get it to work again, which could be annoying. On 11/10/2021 6:18 PM, Viris g.

Sir, I just wanted some advice. I don't want to depend on the touch screen of my device. Just as a matter of information, I suffer from depression and anxiety. And I didn't know what you're telling me.

Hi. I have the Orbit Writer and like it. I read and write only in English. You may want to phone Orbit Research and speak with them directly.

Hello, Tracy. I've already done that. I would have to assign key combinations to each command. The thing is that I'm completely new to Windows and NVDA. So I feel lost.

If you are completely new to Windows and NVdA, you need organized teaching
about Windows and, depending on how you are going to use it, some organized
teaching about NVDA. You can learn a small amount about any screen-reader
such as how to control the rate of speech, read the title bar, and a small
number of other commands, and do a great deal if you know Windows basics.
I don’t know how much money you want to spend nor do I know if the NVDA
instructional material mainly teaches NVDA or both Windows and NVDA. but a
good knowledge of Windows is more important in many ways than a detailed
knowledge of NVDA, especially when you aren’t doing things that require an
advanced knowledge of NVDA. It is far more important in the beginning to
learn Windows well than a lot about a screen-reader.
I would say to get as standard a keyboard as possible, based on what you
have said in terms of what you appear to need to learn. I don’t know
anything about the other keyboard you are asking about and those who know it may
disagree with me.

Hi, Gene. Yes, you're right. There are some podcasts I can use. Also, I downloaded a 130-page NVDA user guide. Maybe all this could be helpful.
