Hi, David. I recently learned about the feature you described in your
response; and, sometimes, when I'm trying to move back a heading, I do
hit Shift plus 2; so maybe that's what triggers the problem. When it
occurs, it occurs when I email, type a document in Word, etc.
And, yes, I did mean that sometimes NVDA doesn't speak at the login
screen. When I logged on this time, it didn't speak, so I hit Insert
plus T, and it then said "windows log-on" or whatever; so it didn't
speak on its own, but it did speak once prompted to. Just seems a bit
unpredictable.
Thanks, as always. I am amazed that you can always figure out the
cause of and solution to my problems.

The issues you're describing may be related to two separate NVDA features.
First, I'll try to address the lack of feedback you're receiving, or not
receiving, when typing. NVDA has a "speak typed characters" toggle key,
which is insert+2, and this is the number 2 on the row of numbers and
not on the numeric keypad.
If you're not receiving feedback while typing, press insert+2 and you
should hear "speak typed characters, on."
Once you can verify that this feature is on, you should probably save
this to NVDA's default configuration by pressing insert+ctrl+C. If that
keystroke feels like you need three hands to press it, try it this way.
Press insert+N for the NVDA menu. Next, arrow down to "save
configuration" and press enter.
If that doesn't fix the problem, let me know. Specifically, I guess I'm
wondering if you're not hearing typing feedback only when in certain
programs. If so, which program are you not hearing speech while typing?
Regarding NVDA sometimes not speaking, are you referring to NVDA not
speaking on the login screen where you need to enter your password or
pin before the desktop loads?

Hi,, guys. I'm running into a little annoyance with NVDA that never
happened on my Windows XP machine. Out of the blue, and for no reason
that I can ascertain, NVDA stops talking when I type. It will still
read me what I've typed when I arrow through the document; but no
keystrokes are verbalized while I'm typing. I have to keep reverting
to the factory configuration to get the verbosity back. Any idea what
I may be doing to cause this problem, and how I can prevent it? Along
the same lines, NVDA sometimes talks to me immediately, but other
times I must log in first before it appears. HMMM.
I'd be grateful for any ideas any of you may have about this.
Peter, hope you can get your email messages problem worked out. I'd
offer helpful advice if I had any, but I don't. We just get mail on
our computer, nowhere else. Good luck.
