Hello guys,
I think I am overthinking NVDA’s Screen Review Mode. Can
someone explain it to me? Or point me to
where I can learn more about it.

Well, I thought that screen review mode meant that a page allowed
you to activate certain shortcuts that a page had.
For example, on YouTube you can press “K” for it to pause and play.

Hi, Ah, I see. What you are describing is called “focus mode” where whatever key you press will be dealt not by NVDA but by the web application you are using. For example, pressing K while playing a YouTube video will pause the video if focus mode is on, whereas NVDA will move you to the next link if browse mode is active. Screen review, on the other hand, will let you review the contents of an app’s window. For example, under older programs, activating screen review mode will let you see the contents of the app that aren’t accessible with keyboard commands. These days screen review would not work properly in newer apps but you can find out the contents of a window by doing an OCR (NVDA+R). Cheers, Joseph

Actually tha'ts not quite true. I use screen review on a lot of newer programs and activate things with the mouse. I use screen review to read the screen, route and click. I never if I can help it use object review.
Take care

I don't know what you mean by over thinking. Do you know the commands? I can discuss the desktop layout but I don't use or know the laptop layout commands. Have you used the JAWS cursor? Screen review is very similar except that the movement commands are different.

When you are in screen review mode, you can move around the
screen and not change your place where you are working, for
example, in a word processor, you can move around and not change
the position of the cursor where you are working. Also, if you
are somewhere where you can't move around using Windows commands
such as up and down arrow, you can look at what is on the screen
in review mode. If an error message ccomes up, you can move
around it using screen review.
Don't forget to always return to object navigation mode as soon ase
you are finished working in review mode. If you don't, you may get
unexpected results.

I don't ever ever return to object review mode. and I never get odd results. I don't really know why you keep saying that as for me it is not true. I can still use my arrows then to into an object all without switching modes.

It may be that if you only use the ways of moving and reading the current line that don't involve object navigation that you won't get unexpected results. But if you use commands like numpad 8, read current line of current object, etc. you will get unexpected results unless you change to object review. I don't know how many people use these commands but I find them much more convenient. I would far rather use numpad 8 to check a current line than NVDA key up arrow. Numpad 8 is a one hand command. And when I close a message in the e-mail programs I use, delete a message and am now on the next one in the list, I use numpad 8 to read the headers without a lot of extraneous speech. That is much more convenient than using NVDA key up arrow to read the current line that way. So perhaps I should alter what I say when I discuss this.

I don't ever ever return to object review mode. and I never get odd results. I don't really know why you keep saying that as for me it is not true. I can still use my arrows then to into an object all without switching modes.

When you are in screen review mode, you can move around the screen and not change your place where you are working, for example, in a word processor, you can move around and not change the position of the cursor where you are working. Also, if you are somewhere where you can't move around using Windows commands such as up and down arrow, you can look at what is on the screen in review mode. If an error message ccomes up, you can move around it using screen review.
Don't forget to always return to object navigation mode as soon ase you are finished working in review mode. If you don't, you may get unexpected results.

Hi,
Ah, I see.
What you are describing is called “focus mode” where whatever key you press will be dealt not by NVDA but by the web application you are using. For example, pressing K while playing a YouTube video will pause the video if focus mode is on, whereas NVDA will move you to the next link if browse mode is active.
Screen review, on the other hand, will let you review the contents of an app’s window. For example, under older programs, activating screen review mode will let you see the contents of the app that aren’t accessible with keyboard commands. These days screen review would not work properly in newer apps but you can find out the contents of a window by doing an OCR (NVDA+R).
Cheers,
Joseph

Well, I thought that screen review mode meant that a page allowed you to activate certain shortcuts that a page had.
For example, on YouTube you can press “K” for it to pause and play.

Hello guys,
I think I am overthinking NVDA’s Screen Review Mode. Can someone explain it to me? Or point me to where I can learn more about it.

Actually in my case I don't need to go into object mode. I just use screen review, get to where i want, then use object left, right, read the current one, copy to the clipboard if I need to and, it's done. In fact most of the time if I use current line, I can read the current object or objects depending on the layout of the screen.

It may be that if you only use the ways of moving and reading the current line that don't involve object navigation that you won't get unexpected results. But if you use commands like numpad 8, read current line of current object, etc. you will get unexpected results unless you change to object review. I don't know how many people use these commands but I find them much more convenient. I would far rather use numpad 8 to check a current line than NVDA key up arrow. Numpad 8 is a one hand command. And when I close a message in the e-mail programs I use, delete a message and am now on the next one in the list, I use numpad 8 to read the headers without a lot of extraneous speech. That is much more convenient than using NVDA key up arrow to read the current line that way. So perhaps I should alter what I say when I discuss this.

Screen review isn't the same as reading by object. If you open a document in Notepad, and I suspect a word processor in general, that whole document is one object. If you are in object review, you can move through the entire document if you wish. If you are in screen review, you can only move through what is on screen. Screen review reviews what is on screen. Object navigation allows you to move through various objects, on and off screen and its at times, the only way to work with a program.
You aren't reading this or that in an object when you use screen review. You are reading anything on screen.
If you haven't used a program where the only way to work with it is by object navigation, you may not realize the importance of the ability. Many people may not have to use object navigation much, if at all, many people find it helpful, important, or essential if it is important to them to use an application that requires. it.

I useto use a program called cq 100 it is asimulated hfham
radio program. I would use screen review mode to read the call
signs of who was talking I was not able to access this information
with out using screen review. I only wanted to read this
information not to interact with it. I would read the call sign
their location and some information about their station. I no
longer have the program but thanks to screen review I was able
toknowwho was talking if they identified or not. The program had
all of themajor hf bands and cost 39 dollars per year.
