Hi all,

The snapshot of NVDA that holds the fixes that will be implemented in
NVDA 2013.1.1 is now available.
It is called
nvda_snapshot_release-2013.1-9170,37427f0.exe

This is available on the NVDA Development Snapshots page under the
NVDA 2013.1.1 section.

After installing this snapshot, to get the latest version of the
eSpeak Irish code, you can replace the
NVDA/SynthDrivers/espeak-data folder on your PC with the folder on DropBox in
DropBox/eSpeak/NVDA/eSpeak-data

I have run some initial checks.

1. The original bug has gone.
2. I have done some initial testing of how Irish characters (including
punctuation) are echoed and tested a number of NVDA dialogs.

First impressions are good.

However, there are a number of words in the NVDA interface whose
pronunciation needs improvement (assuming these are not typos)

There are a number of phrases whose translation I would like to discuss.
I will document these.


Please can you install and run some tests and keep a list of anything
strange and let this list know as soon as possible.

I will be applying pronunciation updates at the end of next week so
please let me know of any improvement suggestions before next Friday.

For info see original notice about the current interface bug.

Subject: Bug in NVDA 2013.1 Irish - interim solution
To: espeak-gaeilge <espeak-gaeilge@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi all,

As most of you know, there is a bug in the NVDA 2013.1 Irish implementation.

If, in NVDA 2013.1,  you set the locale to Irish, when NVDA re-starts,
it crashes.  NVDA then will no longer speak.

The way to get NVDA speaking again is to edid the NVDA.ini file. On my
Windows 7 PC this file is in c:\users\userID\AppData\Roaming\NVDA\nvda.ini
 (UserID is the Windows 7 user name)

If your NVDA has crashed, you need to edit the line in NVDA.ini that
says LANGUAGE = ga and change it to LANGUAGE = en
This will get NVDA working again, but if you reset it to GA, it will
crash again.

Interim Solution: (2 steps)

1. If you have installed NVDA 2013.1, you need to go back to a more
stable version. For the moment I suggest NVDA.2013.1.RC2 (Release
candidate 2).  You can download this from nvAccess.org or I put the
install file that I used in
DropBox/eSpeak/NVDA/nvda.2013.1.rc2.exe

2. After you install the RC2 version, you can then rename the
espeak-data folder in
c:\program files\nvda\synthDrivers to Prev espeak-data and replace the
folder with the espeak-data folder that is to be found in
DropBox/eSpeak/nvda/espeak-data

This will give you the latest set of Irish pronunciation rules.

This interim work-around seems to be behaving okay for me. The Irish
Locale works okay and the Irish voice is okay also. Please let us know
how you get on with this.

Once NVDA 2013.1 RC2 is installed, you will get alerts telling you
that NVDA 2013.1 is available. If you want to use the Irish Locale,
don't take the update!

As for the bug...

This has been logged and a ticket raised. We don't know yet if we need
to wait until NVDA.2013.2 is released, or if there will be an interim
release. This depends on how many other issues are found and how
critical any issues are.

Regards and apologies that this bug wasn't detected in the final
snapshot releases before it went live,

Ronan
