[nvda] Re: nvda and OCR software

Here is a copy of an earlier message I sent the list. I sent it before the one people are responding to. Since people are responding to the later one as though they hadn't read the earlier one, I'm not sure if people received it. Here it is again. I did JAWS, Window-eyes Narrator and Thunder and none of them display this behavior. See the message below for further discussion.

When I see something like the status of devices being read when the treeview
level for the device is closed and no device has been selected and when no
other screen-reader I tried, Thunder, Narrator, JAWS and Window-eyes doesn't
read or evidently see the information anywhere on screen, I become very
suspicious that material is not being read properly by NVDA.  If you go to
the My Computer item in the tree view, you hear that this device is working
properly.  When you go to any main level item, you hear the same message.
System devices has many devices in it.  On my computer, there about six.
However, just stopping at the title system devices and not opening that
level still produces the message that this device is working properly.
Since you haven't even opened the level and selected a device, how is
Windows supposed to know what device you want information on.  Those with
much more technical knowledge will, I hope, tell me if I am wrong but, as I
said, I am very suspicious that this is incorrect reading of information and
is not a true indication of the status of any device.
In this copy, I omitted other comments that were in the original message because they don't deal with this specific topic but responded to other points in the thread.
