In other words, it's a toggle.

Gene, I know that you know this, but it's useful information to put out there.  There seem to still be a number of folks who are unaware of the commonly used term "toggle" for a key sequence that turns on if off or off if on.

Hi

 

the answer is no.

 

The NVDA key + the letter S toggles between speech mode off, speech mode beep and speech mode talk.

 

 

Not sure if there is a ticket for it but the work around will do the same.

If you select a row, or column, could you use NVDA + S to read the selection?

Hi

 

Not sure if this will work in word but know it works in excel.  What is written is from Quenton.

 

below is the message.

 

There isn't a direct command, but a workaround is:
1. Press SHIFT+SPACEBAR to select the row
2. Press control+c to copy it to the clipboard
3. Press NVDA+c to read the clipboard
This will read the whole row as one block of text.  Note that it will overwrite anything you already had on the clipboard.  It also reads the values of cells, not formulas.  If you want formulas read, press control+` (control+grav) to toggle between showing values and formulas before copying the row.
Similarly, if you want to read the column, press control+spacebar instead of shift+spacebar at step 1.

Is there a way to read the entire row, or column with NVDA?

Enes,

           Yes, but I was sticking with NVDA terminology.  Browse versus focus modes.   JAWS uses Browse versus Forms modes.  Focus/Forms mode is where you can do data entry and/or editing in the cell/edit box/other object that accepts text input that you find yourself in.
