[gui-talk] NVDA and Web Browsers

[Hoffman, Allen]

I have one report of something similar with NVDA but have not had sufficient access to the system in question to diagnose.  I have seen updated Windows 8.1 and multiple browsers operating correctly with NVDA as well and have not seen a wide scale bug report there either.

Greetings:

I am using NVDA with IE 10 on a Windows 8.1 machine that is current with regard to Windows Update. I am not finding any difficulty working with web pages. I did notice when going into Google that I had to turn off the edit mode by pressing Insert Space.

NVDA does tend to group things on the same line, which is a little different from the way JAWS handles links. But once you know this, you can make the adjustment with not too much difficulty.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Are you sure you are not starting out in an edit box?  Try pressing the NVDA key with Space.  It is like JAWS or

Window-Eyes in that if it is on a field that must be interacted with outside of browse mode or the virtual cursor,

it turns that function off.



Best regards,



Steve Jacobson

Folks,



I have been experimenting with NVDA (non-visual desktop access).  A day or

so ago, when I try to read a web page using Internet Explorer or Firefox, I

hear the browser announced, then I cannot move the cursor through the

browser.  Any thoughts?  I am using Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer 11, and

the latest Firefox.





Is there an NVDA discussion group?



Thanks.
