Edit: This is now released. Say all works, though the audio becomes choppy sometimes. But it doesn't crash.
Right! I now have a copy of Eloquence that works on the 64-bit alphas of #NVDA, with the following issues: say all on the web doesn't work (it stops whenever the type of element changes for reasons I don't understand), and dialect switching doesn't work (but it doesn't crash everything anymore). If you want to play, you need to follow the build instructions; I only understand about a quarter of this code and have no intention of actually releasing things that are still broken: github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/

grrrrrrrrr! so I installed the station playlist studio addon for #NVDA, and it isn't as bad as it was, but the whole system hult things are happening again! I know I can't be the only one that is seeing this, but here it is, and nothing happened with the last time, when I tried to show people what was going on. maybe I should just get rid of the addon again.

Well I have done it. as of November 4, or 5 my JFW will no longer work. it is still on the laptop, but I will get that removed as soon as I am done reading the fan fic I am reading. So basically, I am now on #NVDA for the fore seeable future. there is a reactivate button, if I choose to do this before the fifth. the fifth of next month is when I would be charged for it, so there you go. If something doesn't work with NVDA, I just won't use it I guess.

Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

Well I have done it! I am now taking a personal #NVDA challenge. I have just uninstalled #JFW from my computer. I am going to see if between now and November 4th I can make it without using JFW at all. I already know of one area that I am going to have troubles, so if anyone who knows how to write things for NVDA wants to try to help, this is your chance. If someone could write an addon for NVDA that will allow someone to go to a web site, and save it as a favorite into a folder on there computer like #Leasie for JFW can do that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, an exciting announcement today - we've released our first 64-bit alpha build, which ALSO includes on-device AI image captioning. For the full details and the caveats - please see this post in the NVDA user group: groups.google.com/a/nvaccess.o…

(Also, in response to a couple of questions:
- The keystroke for image captioning is NVDA+Windows+comma
- And yes, you can setup the new alpha as a portable copy rather than installing it).

NVDA 64-bit with on-device image description alpha build now available

#nvdasr #AI #image #nvda #imagedescription #64bit

A little hint for those who may not know. On this pc, since it's the company pc and I can't install things here, I run NVDA as a portable version. Therefore, if you ever want to install an NVDA addon that you downloaded from an external source such as Sonata voices or RHVoices, Windows does not automatically guess it's an NVDA addon, it asks with which program you want to open the NVDA addon...in that case, use: Install from external source within the #NVDA addon store installed addons tab. You'll then be presented with an open file/browse dialog, after which you can select wherever you put the Sonata voices or RHVoices addon, and it'll install as it should. After you've installed stuff from external sources, just tab to the close button and NVDA will come up with the normal dialog, Addons were installed/removed...you must restart NVDA for the changes to take effect...just press enter and it'll do it's thing, now you can use the addon/s you have installed.

How can I get #NVDA to stop brailling the speech it puts out? It somehow got turned on on one of my computers, and I have no idea how to turn it back off. Example, if NVDA says blank for a blank line, the braille display actually prints the word blank, and not just a blank space.
#nvda

So I've been working on a little thing. It's an add-on for #NVDA. It's a mastodon archiver. The idea is to press NVDA+M to start archiving. so if you're on someone's profile on your web browser, using this add-on would work. Everything will be saved in the app data/roaming folder. Inside the folder, there will be a folder called mastodon archiver. Inside that will be the folder of users. All their posts will be written in text format, and there will be a folder for media, which includes images, video and audio. Here's the only problem. I made the Python file needed, and the add-on.ini file. I put all this code in the folder. Then I zipped it, and instead of being a zipped file, it's an .NVDA add-on file. Problem is, instead of installing it, it says it fails to open the add-on package. Not sure what I'm doing different here. Yes I'm still learning it. Oh yeah, one more thing. It will announce when it's starting, and when it has stopped the archival process.

Nvidia: AI’s Powerhouse, But Is It Too Late to Buy?

Nvidia dominates the AI GPU market with 90%+ share, fueling record revenue growth and becoming Wall Street’s AI darling. With data center demand exploding, long-term growth looks massive but sky-high valuation and rising competition make it a high-risk, high-reward bet.

#A11Y #BlindTech I’m a user of whatifsports.com, specifically its simleague baseball feature. For some unknown reason, the website has stopped working regularly over the past week or so. Combo boxes fail to appear, although I see they are there if I use the JAWS cursor. In some other instances, whole parts of the website don’t present at all. Even more strangely, this behavior happens on both #Chrome and #Firefox but I can still access everything on #Edge just fine. I’m tempted to install #NVDA to see how things perform with it, but I’ve never used it so I suspect there’s a learning curve. I’m just flummoxed as to why the website has started acting like this.

Les lecteurs d’écran restituent-ils par défaut les textes en gras et en italique ?

Selon les tests menés par @juliemoynat, la réponse est non. C'est le style CSS qui est restitué et non la présence d'une balise (strong, em, b ou i).

Un paramétrage spécifique et complexe du lecteur d'écran est possible, mais la restitution peut être lourde.

Nvidia’s Rally Faces a Reality Check

Citi’s price cut and rising competition test Nvidia’s dominance. While NVDA still leads AI infrastructure with soaring revenues and strong demand for Blackwell chips, challenges from Broadcom, hyperscalers, and China are real. Long-term strength remains, but it’s no longer a “buy at any cost” stock.

Question for fellow #NVDA users: why has the Office Desk addon been discontinued? I saw the message from the addon itself and read the homepage. It says it has been discontinued and that I should uninstall it, but it doesn't give a reason for it. I'd understand if it said something like, "The features in this addon have been merged into the core," or something like that, but it doesn't. #Accessibility #Blind #ScreenReader

The #adGuard apps are fairly #accessible with #NVDA, just FYI. As is the interface for AdGuard DNS. I haven't tried VPN because I don't need that, and I don't run AdGuard home because I want to run my own DNS about as much as I want to run my own email.
