Cuando te deniegan la hipoteca porque hace 10 años sufriste un cáncer
Los supervivientes aseguran que las entidades financieras los discriminan al tratar de contratar un producto por haber padecido cáncer. Piden que se regule el derecho al olvido oncológico
Alfonso Dacasa, barcelonés de 39 años, entendió de golpe la importancia del "derecho al olvido oncológico" el día que acudió a una entidad bancaria para pedir un...
Fantastic concert tonight at #Seattle’s Showbox SoDo. “Okean Elzy” and Slava Vakarchuk were on fire 🔥 When they have a show in liberated #Crimea sometime soon, I’m going! 🇺🇦
So my tool that I'm making is being made with Game Maker. Game Maker doesn't have built in Text To Speech capabilities, so I hired someone to make a DLL for GameMaker so GMS2 games can now work with NVDA, SAPI, JAWS, and a few others I never heard of! If you use GameMaker, check it out since it's licensed under LPGL! Also tell the developer they did good because they did!

In-Process is out, this time featuring more on tables in Excel and reading table headers, info on Landmarks on the web, and not one but several new voice options we found for you to try. Check it out from the "Blog" link on the website or directly at:
It’s the third In-Process since NVDA 2023.1 came out, so we’re all out of new things from that version to talk about, right? ….. Not at all! Let’s go: Table Headers in Excel Back in February, we ta…
Oh great, every time I hit a land mark I get 10 seconds of extra speech before the thing I actually need to hear. It's like me starting every message in a thread with Hello, I am David Taylor. I am a person, and I am going to say something. Here is what I am going to say, before I finally say it. What you actually want to know is what I have to say, but you're making me wait so long to get there it's ridiculous lol
@davetaylor2112 Not at all, and you can disable reporting of landmarks in NVDA's document formatting options if you want. All the new improvement does is make the reporting more consistent, it doesn't add any additional text to the landmark information. For instance, on the NV access site we have "Navigation landmark", "Main landmark" and "Content info landmark". If you disable reporting, you can stil press D to get to those and it will, without reading that info.
@davetaylor2112 Press NVDA+control+d to open NVDA's document formatting options - in there you can enable or disable any information you might want to hear or not hear. If you setup a configuration profile for programs, eg your browser, you can save it so that some information is ONLY read in some programs or only not read in some programs.
And how does that help when I might need it one second and not the next? Frankly, you're thinking like a developer, not a user, in that you are prioratisingthe code, not the information. I hate Aria so much, it made what was once simple complicated
@davetaylor2112 Is it the reading order you are upset about? That was what you indicated in the earlier message? There is a lot of nuance to it that can take awhile to get familiar with, and everone has their own ideas, but this issue: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… (and the related ones linked in it) is basically a request for that.
There have been opened some issues in the past regarding the order of speech and braille output. For example, we have issue #4629 which covers Reading Column & Row Titles before the content instead...
@davetaylor2112 Also know that the reason we made the change to landmarks in the first place was because the irregularity was pointed out by users who wanted it fixed - and indeed it was actually a regression - NVDA used to read landmarks as it does now, but some of those reading cues were accidentally lost in a previous update. Just about everything in NVDA is done at user's request, not just for the developers :)
The order is one of my two big issues with NVDA, in general I still say it's the best screen reader out there, the other being loss of so many really useful addons over the years due to your breakage policy and lack of inforporation into main code, like the awsome one that made sounds for landmarks and the like
@davetaylor2112 Thanks for the complement - and yes, we are always interested in improving so feedback is welcome. With the reading order, definitely it is worth commenting on that issue I linked to as that will prompt our devs to look at it anew. We know add-on breakages are a pain, and we are working on improvements to the add-on system. We wrote up a lot of the rationale behind add-on breakages in our blog recently: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…
We’ve got a bumper issue for you this week: A release candidate, conferences and add-on info! NVDA 2023.1 Release Candidate The big news this week is the release of the NVDA 2023.1 Release Ca…
I understand the rationale, and I have a comment on Git already, not that I think that is a good way of collating average user comments, again, great for developers, not so much for average users. Thank god you don't actually make us find the downloads that way lol
@davetaylor2112 We don't make you use Git - we have email, telephone support, we're here on Mastodon and on other platforms.... We use GitHub to keep track of our issues & code - it keeps it all in the one place, easy for contributors to join in as well. If you have an issue that you can articulate, we certainly encourage you to add it there because that is where developers will pick it up from & if they have a question, it's easier for them to ask you, than going through say me (Quentin).
It would definitely be worth you all commenting on github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… to add your feedback - interested developers will see it and hopefully it will kickstart interest in the feature among those who can implement it :)
(Apologies if you saw the first version of this toot - it didn't insert the link to the GitHub issue, and inserted a .... I don't know part of a screen snip or something?)
There have been opened some issues in the past regarding the order of speech and braille output. For example, we have issue #4629 which covers Reading Column & Row Titles before the content instead...
@Brynify @davetaylor2112 That's one feature I miss on Windows. I can do it on macOS, and it's great. "Checked, some title, checkbox". It's one of the first things I do on new VoiceOver setups. Having it for NVDA would be nice.
@ppatel @Brynify @alexhall You know, I'm sure that could be done, half of it used to be in an addon, but volunteers just can't keep up with that level of work for long, it all needs building into the main code
@Brynify @alexhall @davetaylor2112 I keep on going back to my desire to want a true speech and sounds manager like JAWS along with verbosity. There is absolutely nothing like it. That and proper Excel support would make me uninstall JAWS so fast that it wouldn't know what hit it in the ass.
@davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall It would be helpful if we could get a roadmap on some of the major issues already listed in the issue tracker for Excel. There are some major ones here.
BUT, that's just how WE have prioritised them - anyone from the community with the skills and interest is welcome to pick up one of those P4 issues and work on it now
@ppatel @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall This remiunded me that UI created an issue about having a feature similar to JAWS' monitor sells, which I don't think had any comments. Wonder if it'd be worth bumping it somehow.
@ppatel @KaraLG84 @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall It's something which can certainly be argued many different ways. Basically, our belief is that a screen reader should, first and foremost, give users access to the information a sighted user sees on screen. This doesn't mean that "if a sighted user can't see it, a screen reader shouldn't provide it", but it does mean we prioritise ensuring that information a sighted user has is provided.
@KaraLG84 @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall There seems to be a philosophy pervading among some of the contributors who are actively developing or otherwise helping out with the NVDA project that, if a feature being requested isn't available to sighted people, it should be developed through an add-on. I don't want to rant about this here. But this seems less than effective.
@ppatel @KaraLG84 @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall If I open the elements list on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_… I can instantly tell that there are 2413 links - not something a sighted user has easy access to - but potentially informative in helping to know how to navigate the page. It is something which needs to be considered on a case by case basis
@ppatel @KaraLG84 @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall It doesn't make the request without merit, but it may influence the priority given for NV Access to work on it - but again, that doesn't stop anyone else picking it up either to submit a PR for it, or to create an add-on (that's just a general comment - I haven't looked at the issue)
@kev @Brynify @davetaylor2112 The toot you replied to links to an issue to change the order in which NVDA reports things. Reporting of many properties can be set from NVDA's Document Formatting settings - there's info (and links to the user guide) in this post: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-6… - you can set that on a per-program basis using configuration profiles: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1… But if that doesn't match what you've got in mind, then yes, definitely do create an issue: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…
@KaraLG84 @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall I just replied to a feature request that was closed. My feelings and beliefs are incapsulated in that comment in general.

@ppatel @KaraLG84 @davetaylor2112 @Brynify @alexhall I just commented on that issue - it's too long to share in its entirety here, but basically: Battery life is useful for everyone. The case should be put to Microsoft, it is not a screen reader function, but if you want to make an add-on for it, go for it. Other examples cited (font information and elements list) either are available in one form or another to sighted users, or an equivalent (eg quickly navigation to the right part of a page).
Thinking, as I often do, about Stephen Hawking's voice, which began as a hardware synthesizer card connected to an Apple II and ended up as a software emulated version of that same card because he rebuffed all well-intentioned upgrades for 30 years because *it was his voice*.

I wish I'd thought of this yesterday, but I forgot that Windows 10 actually makes bluetooth devices their own virtual sound cards so now I'm running a test stream from my Galaxy via the Sky Go app, direct to Oddcast via it's bluetooth connection at 3.onj.me:8000/tv.m3u
@jakobrosin Yes, I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting this yesterday. Aah well, tis a way to stream in the future isn't it? Good to have these options.

It turns out that on #Bookwyrm, anyone's book edits federate to other instances without instance admins knowing about it. This is particularly bad because I often find that my created books are modified on my shelf, so I finish reading a paperback, but my yearly read at the end of the year contains a coverless audio book, which has no series or series number added. This is because people are lazy and they just modify an existing edition, rather than adding a new one. Theoretically, any edit can come from any instance.
If you use Bookwyrm, please thumb up this issue, where I suggest adding options to control book federation github.com/bookwyrm-social/boo…
I often find that users of other instances edit existing book data to match what they've read, e.g. change a paperback book to an audio book, rather than creating a new edition. It can also happen ...

Happy Sunday everyone! Let's start the day with our usual #MorningMoments and check in with all of you to see what y'all have going on for the day today.
For me, I'm going to install a new deadbolt on the front door here in just a few. Going with a smart deadbolt that doesn't require a key to unlock it.
After that, possibly play Destiny 2 but might just relax and enjoy the day.
Is it voice-unlock? If so, not that I'm sure I have to tell you this, but please, please make your nearest voice-capable assistant far enough from the front-door/open window so that nobody can just shout 'hey <insert voice assistant here>, unlock door' and they're in. I certainly don't mean to patronise you in the slightest, but 'smart' anything is a concern, especially where home automation is concerned.
I was out recording a few things and one of my cats ran up to me and wanted to talk. Say hi to Lucy. In binaural audio! Might want to wear headphones for the best effect. #Recordings #Binaural #Sound #Cats
ah so not that yung. Yeah you can't really tell how old the cat is baste on their meow noises in most cases it doesn't really seem to change all that much.
@cordova5029 Sennheiser Ambeo. I have a whole stash since they got beyond cheap. But if iPhones switch to usb c I'll have to reconsider what to do. They might work with the dongle but at that point I might as well use a dedicated recorder.
@Estrella damn, you can still tell it's her though. Just younger. IT's interesting, cats seem to have a set of meows, well they can make hundreds of vocal noises, I read somewhere, but cats seem to have a similar set of meows, regardless of ages.
@kevinrj oh I talk to her a lot. I just happened to be recording and wanted her to be the star of the show. But you bet I usually meow right back. And then we go back and forth for minutes.
What an adorable sounding kitty. I'm glad you recorded that. Is she little? I wonder if I've still got recordings of my Wendell. (Former guide dog). I'm sure they've got to be somewhere. It's just the matter of finding them.
Holy shit, that meow! Legit made me wimper that I couldn't give the poor kitty pets, or food, or assistance with world domination, or anything she needed. Cats really have the art of manipulating humans down, don't they? They are weaponised cuteness, and there is nothing we can/want to do.
@Mayana I seem to recall reading somewhere that this is literally true - wild or feral adult cats don't meow nearly as much and definitely not in the same way as domestic(ating) cats, and they pitch their meows to more or less coincide with the cries of a human baby.
@pettter @Mayana oh she absolutely only meows to talk to us. Even if sometimes she just meows without a goal. Runs up to me, we meow back and forth a bunch, then she runs off. She probably doesn't know how much brighter she makes my days.
@pettter Exactly! Combine that with them rubbing themselves against you being as much, or perhaps more about making that you're *their* human. Granted, cats do also rub against each other, to create a sense of community in scent and such, but still. Such lovable manipulative bastards they are!
@pettter Hell, I'd even happily submit to the robot overlords, if only they were like cats. There's no need for the big killer robot kind; make a furry body, go up to me and give me a headbunt, and I'll obey.
seen people post an image about how many browsers are Chromium under the covers these days, except Firefox, which is true (and why I use Firefox). Here's an addition to that bit of knowledge, because of the #AppleBrowserBan .
so a lot of people originally asked for the clean BBC coronation coverage but while prepping this I also found the ITV version as well. This first link will direct you to the BBC's just over 5 hours, and 39 minute coverage of the Coronation. I know it includes the pre-coronation stuff, but I haven't fully checked it to see if it includes the parade and other stuff that followed the actual coronation. bit.ly/2023-Coronation-bbc-ful… this second link is ITV's coverage of just the Coronation without the pre and post stuff from the BBC, running just over 2 hours and 16 minutes in length. bit.ly/2023-ITV-Coronation-sho… These links depending on your browser of choice may stream, if you wish to download, please either press show more media controls, and pick download or hit ctrl+S. both of these will bring up a standard save as dialog for you to save the file. For those that are nerdy enough, yes, my server will happily let you wget either of those links. Enjoy!
This has been going around on Twitter, but I neglected my community here :) I'm sorry about this :) Tomorrow at noon EST, I will give a #talk on the #accessibility of #language #learning and #linguistics in general for #screenReader users as part of the a11yTalks event. This will be a public event with no need to register so if this is something any of you are interested in, here's the link :) a11ytalks.com/posts/2023-MAY/ #speaker #a11y
One would think that language has been solved in 2023. We have translation apps, sign languages, an international phonetic alphabet that is supposed to be able to represent any sound in any language for academics to endlessly discuss over.
It's twenty-five passed four, and some neighbours are having a party... No, not that twenty-five passed four, the other one. Yes, in the bloody morning! Last night to be exact.
My mum always told me "when you party, invite your neighbours, they'll be having a good time too and won't complain then!" Not so good though if you have children very late for lots of noise.
fuck'in 'ell Onj. i had that about eight years back. called the police, when they were able to deal with these things, and a baton was soon being banged on the door of my then neighbours. i heard it as normal knocking didn't work, obviously. the noise stopped soon after.
@bigpawedbear London police are, as you likely know, notoriously shit. We've reported various parties over the last few years and nothing has ever happened as a result.

A lot of my international friends have asked me--a Brit--if I’m excited for the #coronation this week, so I wrote this to roughly sum up my views on it pwnallthethings.com/p/long-liv…
The people advocating for a return to the office and an end to remote work seem to almost always be rich, white, cishet, abled men who, if they have children, have a spouse that picks up their slack. Remote work is more accessible, inclusive, and safe for marginalized people. fortune.com/2023/05/05/openai-…
