Hi John,
I am also using IE 11 that shipped with 8.1 and I have no problem with
Google. I can use the cursors to read the text after each heading in the
results list.
I have to tab out of the search box as return will not take you out of this.
I then use H to jump to the results and use cursors to read down through the
results.
In fact I find Jaws using Jaws cursor now gives me blank screen more often
than not just when you need it to read an otherwise silent screen. There are
still some screens though where I have to use Jaws to get vital information,
but I would not claim to be expert with NVDA.
Kind regards
Aedan.

Aeden,
Sorry, I thought that I had said what browser I am using but I omitted this
and only named the OS. I'm using the Internet Explorer which ships with
Windows 8.
Do you have any experience of trying to use NVDA with IE.
From what people are telling me it would seem that it may work much more
useably with Firefox but I can't for the life of me think why they would not
have also made it work correctly with IE, since it's still the world's most
used browser--irrespective of what anybody may think of the Microsoft
Corporation.
Can you test NVDA for me with IE and let me know how it works for you and
perhaps Vince could also give it a try for me and report the findings so
that I can be clearer in my mind as to where the problem lies.
John.

Hi John,
Are you using Google Chrome? I.E. or Firefox are better.

Hello All,
I've just downloaded and started to use NVDA with Windows
8.1 for the first time. The main problem I'm having is getting much of waht
is on webpages read out to me.
I have read the user guide through which is provided for NVDA but it doesn't
help me with the below problem. It only seems to say that I should be able
to both arrow and tab through WebPages and read everything on screen, which
I certainly cannot do.
For example, I use Ebay regularly
and know what is (or should be) displayed on the screen and can be easily
read with the arrow keys with JAWS. However, using NVDA, little or nothing
can be read of the text on screen and only the various elements, e.g. links,
editfields, etc, are ead by pressing the TAB key.
Moreover, on Ebay, when I try to search for something, I am told by NVDA
where the editbox is to type in the search string but when I do this and
press ENTER nothing happens! I get no list of found items that can be read
by NVDA. The same sort of thing happens on Google and other websites.

I have been a JAWS user for over 20 years and am well used to computers and
the internet. However, Having downloaded the latest version of NVDA and
tried to use WebPages with it, I find myself baffled! For example, I use
Ebay regularly and know what is displayed on the screen and can be easily
read with the arrow keys with JAWS. Using NVDA, little or nothing can be
read of the text on screen and only the various elements, e.g. links,
editfields, etc, can be read by pressing the TAB key.

by NVDA.
Please explain how NVDA is supposed to work on WebPages so that all of the
above information can be read and the webpage therefore understood in its
entirety.
I should also be grateful if you could point me to any spoken video or MP3
tutorials on how to use NVDA with the keyboard (not with a mouse), in
particular in respect of the Internet. I have searched Google and Youtube
but found little or nothing of any value. All I can find is people having
similar problems to me getting the text of WebPages read out to them. Please
listen to the below short Youtube video demonstrating the very problems I am
having.
