It was yesterday that I discovered that it was possible for a Jarte user to activate a link directly from the programme. The only thing you should do is to save your favourite link into Jarte, and, when you've opened it next time, simply click on one of the characters contained in the link. After th...

Dear and highly-respected librivox members It is high time to try an excellent, freeware word processing software. It is like a mini-Microsoft word. It starts up as soon as you open it. It is also compatible with screen readers (Jaws and NVDA). It does the sorting as well as Ted Notepad itself. Ther...

Dear and highly respected librivoxers I have got a message from Anne saying that some of our members used to have access to librivox, but it is impossible for them to access it now. anne asked me to help her, but I am asking you now to help me to help Anne and those being unable to reach librivox. H...

Dear and highly respected Ruth, Let me tell you that you simply know what people want, and that you are always ready to give it to them if you are able to find what they want. I tried the Oxford, and I'll be free to say that the pronounciations it contains are professionally recorded. Thank you for ...

Thanks for the dictionaries offered. Here is also a good Cambridge English-English dictionary with pronounciations. I hope you'll like this. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/

Thank you for helping me. I like the dictionary you use, and it gathers definitions from different sources. Let me tell you that it suits me. I am an English-speaking person, and there is a hundred ways of determining whether a noun is a countable or an uncountable one. Do you use WordWeb or The sag...

Hi to all! I have just discovered that NVDA reads some signs in relation to musical notes. For instance, it reads a flat sign following a note, and it reads a sharp sign following a note. Jaws is silent when it is on flat and/or a sharp sign. I hope this helps blind musicians.

I have noticed that there are people from non-English speaking countries who have joined the Librivox in order to help it achieve its goals. Thanks to all of them! If they are sometimes unsure of how to pronounce this or that word while recording, here comes a solution for them: http://www.howjsay.c...

As I have said in the subject line, I would like to find a good freeware English-English dictionary that can be downloaded and used offline. I use WordWeb and The Sage dictionary, but I would like to have a dictionary that gives a good explanation about parts of speech. For example, when I look up t...

To do the mouse simulation of the object selection by means of your keyboard, do the following: Press the NVDA key and press Numpad 1 and/or Page down or press Numpad 7 and/or Page up till you hear 'Screen Review'. Continue holding down the NVDA key and use the arrows to move through the contents of...

Yes, Anne. I understand you quite well. But, if you want to become the lord of it, you must try it yourself. It will take some time, but you will overcome what you do not know. If you want to understand it as best as you could, you can change the rate of the speech. If you want a clear voice, go to ...

To do the NVDA mouse simulation, do the following: First, choose what link or button you would like to activate. You can choose it by moving the up and down, and left and right arrow keys. Second, when you have made your choice, hit the NVDA key. It is done in two ways: 1. by hitting the Numpad 0 2....

It will be most useful when you are running an application and waht to know some important information that NVDA can give by means of key combinations. For example, when I open a word window, and I want to know how much of RAM is used, I simply press NVDA (or insert or numeric 0) key plus Shift plus...

Dear librivoxers! If some of you have started to use NVDA, and if you find it useful, but you would like to perform some more actions without making so much efforts, there are solutions to it. They are NVDA-related adons. I have installed those that I think I need. They are working properly. You can...

Dear Ruth, I am just writing to let you know that I have just set up the proper pronounciation of the emoticons inserted. Feel free to use them as much as you like because they will have their more human, more friendly description from now on. By being able to read them correctly, I will know the st...
