Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

So, what exactly does this fix in the NVDA-addon? And could you please update the translation in future releases? I corrected some mistakes. O I see that the hotkey error has been fixed, but now, I can't use it. I'll change it.

#5

Ok, I can say this. I just restarted Elten, and it was very unresponsive. Also, the error with the shortkey returned. But after skipping back and forth between the items, I got the following error:
#
["Section000:41:in `call'", "Section000:41:in `init'", "Section000:38:in `loop'", "Section000:58:in `init'", "Section000:29:in `initialize'", "Section000:29:in `new'", "Section000:29:in `init'", "Section000:184:in `write'", "Section000:166:in `initialize'", "Section000:166:in `new'", "Section000:166:in `write'", "Section000:96:in `speak'", "Section000:94:in `initialize'", "Section000:94:in `new'", "Section000:94:in `speak'", "Section073:160:in `speech'", "Section074:1094:in `focus'", "Section074:833:in `initialize'", "Section062:54:in `new'", "Section062:54:in `help'", "Section062:32:in `main'", "Section062:14:in `loop'", "Section062:51:in `main'", "Section078:60", "Section078:56:in `loop'", "Section078:64"]

After this, Elten returned to its amazing responsiveness I know it for, and the shortkey error disappeared, but in both cases, meaning when the shortkey error is present and when it isn't, I can't use the hotkey to access the changelog quickly. I just changed that hotkey, I guess that's the most efficient way to fix this. Other than that, all works fine.

#6

So, I try typing at a constant rate, while the Elten NVDA ad on is being used. For some reason though wih beta 14, it's very sluggish, and I keep mising typed characters.

I have sadly gotten the same error a few times, that was mentioned earlier

I don't know why this beta update was needed for. As soon as I installed it and I started Elten, I could not even type in my pincode; and once the add on was installed, why does this question always come back each time you start Elten, "Elten detected that NVDA does not support the NVDA Elten support add on". I thought, once the add on is installed into the NVDA screen reader, this question should not come up any longer.

#8

This question always comes back if something in the addon changed. If you reinstalled it though after downloading beta 14 and this question still shows up, I don't know.

#9

Well that's actually what happens each time I start Elten.

#10

For me, that part worked allright, but I had other quirks, explained in post 5.

#11

As for my scrolling problem when playing audio, that's sort of fixed. Sometimes it doesn't work, and other times it's very fast.

#12

Do to updates wit the add on itself, I guess tat is why the "you're using NVDA" dialog comes up, every time a new beta arrives.

#13

Whatever it is, when I try it with the add on, as soon as I type in my pincode and press enter, nothing happens.

#14

Would it not be better to install the add on by way of the install wizzard as an optional feature when you install the Elten program? Just a thought.

#15

This is what I'd prefer, not to install the add-on at all.
Strange, Troubled Times...

#16

Just a question. Is the adon even neaded? I used another beta laptop and it worked without me needing to get the adon installed, and it was still speaking through nvda. Also, why do you use db? That stops us from using auto update.

#17 Edited

I'm thinking dropbox was only meant for the betas.

Also, I just uninstalled the NVDA Elten add on, and whatda ya know, no typing errors!

Running Elten with NVDA 2019.2.1 at the moment...

Now, I'm gonna be "bold" here, and install the latest NVDA "Alpha" snapshot, found at

http://nvda-project.org/snapshots

If this NVDA add on was meant for only NVDA
2019.3 and later, then it should be clearly announced as such.

Alpha NVDA Snapshop branch has ben installed, Elten NVDA Add On has been installed.

Um, if this add on was meant for Elten working with NVDA and its supported braille displays, that's a good thing. For us keyboard users, it does more harm than good, and I am still having typing errors. Plus, why is when I hit the space bar, its sound is played twice? Plus, said spacebar most of the time doesn't make spaces while the Elten add on is running.

Right, uninstalling Elten add on, keeping NVDA Alpha Snapshot.

I'll try again with said add on, when a new Elten beta arrives.
