[nvda] Re: HTML support

You have gotten a suggestion which should solve the problem. However, there is no reason to have JAWS or any other screen-reader running to run NVDA. You can either make a shortcut to the exe file if you are running the portable version and assign a shortcut key, or if the program has an icon on the desktop, you can do the following with another screen-reader running: 
Go to the desktop.  Press home to move to the top of the list.
Type n until you get to the NVDA icon. Count the number of times you need to do this. Then, in future, you can simply unload JAWS or whichever screen-reader you are using, and follow the procedure I described above, that is, go to the desktop, use home, etc. When you are on the icon, press enter to run NVDA.
I am not just going into this as a question of how to run NVDA. There are times when it is very useful to think about patterns and how you would do things with no screen-reader running. It will help you in cases where you loose speech and want to try to shut down a program such as a screen-reader with no speech. At times, a program may have a problem where you don't have speech whether a screen-reader is running or not. In a case like this, it is very useful to think about what is on the screen. Probably you are in a window with a don't send button. Pressing the space bar may solve the problem because the button usually has focus. Then you try running the screen-reader again. You may find other times when knowing what is on screen and what pattern to follow when no screen-reader is running is useful. I don't know if you already do this at all. My main point is that many blind people assume they must have a screen-reader running to do anything. This isn't true and it is useful to realize that if you know what the order is of what you are doing and understand what commands you are using, you can do things with no screen-reader running in cases where this is either necessary or very helpful.

Hello,
I'm sorry. As I press INS+F2 to have JAWS short keys working (INS+F4) to shut down JAWS the HTML hot-keys of NVDA also lost their functions. 

Thank you anyway.

Hello,
Can you be more specific what are you looking for please?
NVDA can read webpages in mozila firefox and in internet explorer to some degree.
I know a little number of screen readers but none of those I know can read html documents it-self.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is some support for HTML objects in NVDA or if it is planned? 
I have tried to find it in documentation but nothing is there.

Thank you very much for your answers
