predicted text and NVDA

The Gamages
Hello,
has anyone any ideas as to how to stop NVDA speaking predicted text as I type into edit fields etc?, I know this is really down to the particular program I am using, but it is most off puting and I lose the place in my typing. The only way I have been able to do something about it is to write what I want in Word and then copy and paste into the field I am using. Any suggestions will be gratefully received, thank you. Best Regards, Jim.

Is not this the auto complete issue. Some people love it and others hate it. Often on screen you can also get a list come up as you type as well, but on some software, autocomplete can be turned off, but not so much on web sites these days.

I wonder if turning off the detection of new content might help. Not tried it myself, just decided to concentrate harder. I'd be interested in the answer here too. Brian -- bglists@...

As far as I know, this is controlled in the individual program. If
you don't want to look through various programs settings or research
the question for individual programs, turning off speech with NVDA
s, typing what you want, then turning on speech with NVDA s pressed
twice will cause you not to hear predictive text.

On thinking about this further, I'll add that if you turn speech off
so you can't hear what you type, you should be very careful what you
type into a browser address bar. These days, it isn't just
inconvenient to go to a wrong site, it can be dangerous. Criminals
buy names very similar to the real name so that if people make
typographical errors when going to a site, they may go to a
malicious site and be infected or be directed to do things where
they reveal personal information.
