Ok, just tested it, and, if you, for example, turn off heading reporting under document formatting, then they never get announced as headings, even if jumping to them using the H key, so, this is definitely not something I would want to disable, generally.

There is no such setting under NVDA that I am aware of - the only one I change on a regular basis, depending on context is punctuation levels.


If you go into preferences, document formatting, you can turn on/off the reporting of headings, links, etc., but, am not sure if this would affect only read/say all, or be relevant all the time, but, suppose it might do what Daleen wants in terms of web page reading?

Hi all

Nvda repeats itself a lot and I think I read somewhere that they were trying to correct that, but so far I haven’t found it gone.

My question is. How can I get nvda to give me as little feedback as possible when alt tabbing from open program to document to whatever.

I already told it not to read page in internet programs and I don’t want to hear headings, lists and so on, except links.

I think it has to do with getting older. I get anxious, worked up, or nervous, or whatever, lol, when it talks so much. I use the control to silence speech, but I wish I knew how to make the speech less.

I understand that the idea of a screen reader is to tell you what is happening. I am only trying and hoping for advice.

Thanks much.

Daleen
