Does NVDA have this feature that Window-eyes has?

Sim Kah Yong #95710 Hi all, I just received an email from Amazon and it contains a string of "equal sign" (about 22) in part of the email. Window-eyes will read "equal, equal, repeated 22 times". NVDA and JAWS will read 22 times of the "equal sign". Obviously, Window-eyes is is the better option here. Does anyone know if NVDA or JAWS has such feature? Thank you.

Jackie #95711 NVDA says the number then the symbol, ie, if I write 9 consecutive equal signs, NVDA says 9 equals. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 5/22/22, Sim Kah Yong <simkahyong@...> wrote: Hi all, I just received an email from Amazon and it contains a string of "equal sign" (about 22) in part of the email.

Sim Kah Yong #95712 Thanks for that. I also confirm that NVDA will say "22 equal" when I type 22 equal signs on any document. What I encountered is different. In my email, JAWS NVDA and Narrator will say "graphic equal" (many times). I am using NVDA 2021.35 and Thunderbird91.9.0 (32-bit). I think it is a form of graphic showing many equal signs. Thanks. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 22/5/2022 3:51 pm, Jackie wrote: NVDA says the number then the symbol, ie, if I write 9 consecutive equal signs, NVDA says 9 equals.

Eduardo Fermiano Luccas #95715 you can disable scores by pressing NVDA plus the letter p, this will allow you to toggle through the scoring options Em dom., 22 de mai. de 2022 às 05:51, Sim Kah Yong <simkahyong@...> escreveu: toggle quoted messageShow quoted text Thanks for that.

Sarah k Alawami #95716 Actually nvda dos have said option where it will only read I think 3 if the equals, but for the life of me I can't remember where in the setting is.

That's because they are not a line of equals signs. They are a line of equals signs, interspersed with hyphens. So dash equals dash equals etc. Probably your punctuation level is set not to say one or the other, so you think it's a line of just one of them. Most likely that's what's happening in the original case as well: equals signs along with another character that NVDA doesn't read. Confirm by reading that line character by character. Luke

Bob Cavanaugh #95733 I just got a similar email from Amazon, and having seen this thread, looked over it to see what it looked like. There are spaces between the equals signs, which is why NVDA reads it the way it does. I personally find those quite annoying. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 5/22/22, Luke Davis <luke@...> wrote: Sarah k Alawami wrote: It will, but not in all emails.

Sarah k Alawami #96706 I like 9 equals rather than equals repeats 9 times, but that's just me.

Gene #96707 It does have it. If it didn't, you would hear something like equal repeated as many times as it appears on a line. Instead you hear twenty equals, if there are twenty equals uninterrupted on a line. If your punctuation isn't set at a level where the sign is spoken, you will hear nothing. So with equal, if punctuation is set to none, you won't hear anything. With punctuation set to some or higher, you will hear the announcement. However, I know of no way to turn the feature off or on and I don't know if that matters.

Chris Mullins #96708 Hi The answer to the question is yes, NVDA does have the feature that identifies repeating characters, it just delivers the information in a different way to Window Eyes.

Ron Canazzi #96709 Hi Gene, It does have it for single character strings. I believe what they are asking is if there are multiple character repetitions whether that feature is active. Here's an example of what I mean. 9=9=9=9=9=9=9=9=9= NVDA doesn't have a setting for such strings as does JAWS sand Window-Eyes. On 6/16/2022 11:31 AM, Gene wrote: It does have it.

Brian Vogel #96715 My solution to this is to create default dictionary entries to handle common "separator line" repetitions and actually have NVDA say, "separator line." I don't care what, precisely, the chosen character sequence is. Here is the regular expression I use for a "long" separator line of 3 or more characters in sequence. Additional characters could be added with the or (pipe) operator if you have someone who uses something else in combination with + or = or -, etc. (\+\|-\|\){3,} and my replacement is "Separator line." For common short, 2-character separators, I use this regular expression: (-\|\\|\+){2}\s+$ And that regular expression captures 2 characters that are hyphens, asterisks, or plus signs followed by any number of white space characters anchored by the end of the line. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill

Brian Vogel #96716 Oops, a typo in my first description. I am only looking for plus signs, hyphens, and asterisks, in any combination, repeated a minimum of 3 times. I did not include the equal sign. If one wished to, this is the regular expression one would use: (\+\|-\|\\|\=){3,} -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.* ~ Dorothy Nevill
