Diagnosing problems is not as easy for me as it used to be.
Since operating system, browser, and screen reader have all
continually changed while i was busy attending to life I find myself
without the basic knowledge to ferret out the simplest information
about my system. I was, at one time, a real power user; I am now just
a user who needs the computer in order to perform daily work and life
functions.
All the changes that have happened over the last 2 years in every
facet of my system have left me in the dust and i find myself clueless
or nearly so after 23 years of computer use.
As for questions asked, "I'm not seeing this problem with multiple
synthesizers. Can you provide specifics regarding this? What version
of windows, what version of NVDA, what synthesizer, what browser or
browsers are you seeing this problem in? Is it limited to a browser?"
I automaticly update Windows 10 as it happens; I update NVDA as it
asks and Firefox browser also updates automaticly. Version numbers
don't seem easy to find. I am currently only running Firefox browser.
Marcia's reference to "documents" settings isn't clear to me, so, you
can see that I feel ridiculously out of touch.
I simply know that Orneville is the right word and, seemingly NVDA is
not reading it correctly.
I'm somewhat discouraged by constantly changing system parameters and
really have little time or patience for the continuous acquisition of
knowledge that becomes obsolete when the next set of changes takes
place. My Older mind, (i am 66) is filled up with surviving real life
changes and the computer, though it is a tool, is not a simple
machine....
I only know that if my machine is providing false information it
becomes a tool that could be costly or useless after a while.
(end of rant :)
