I'm surprised. When I use that program with NVDA I have to "shut the talker off," otherwise it keeps talking and I can't hear the sounds produced by the mouse. Amanda ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Baldwin To: program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 07, 2011 4:03 PM Subject: [program-java] Interaction between Java and NVDA I am writing a Java program that produces a series of audio pulses when the user moves the mouse in a JPanel. Essentially, it uses a mouseMove listener and emits a pulse each time an event of that type is fired. The audio results are OK, but not great. However, when I start NVDA and have it running, the audio results are great. The output stream of audio pulses becomes very uniform, whereas without NVDA running, the output stream of audio pulses is not uniform at all. Something about having NVDA running is causing the Java program to perform much better, which is exactly the reverse of what I have come to expect during many years of computer programming. I am running Vista Home Premium on a 64-bit HP Laptop, but this Java program is compiled using the 32-bit javac. Any ideas as to what might be going on? Dick Baldwin -- Richard G.
