Hi, Nice discussion is going on here. I would like to add some more points. Primarily, my company uses gtalk for chatting. But NVDA is not user friendly in this regard. I personally use gtalk for chatting. To read chat messages I need to press insert B. If I chat continously in an hour it reads from beggining. and menu items are also wont work. can any one suggest me in this regard? Or if it is possible, kindly put this point in to development team. I hope this will get resolved.
Hope I explained my query clearly. On 9/6/13, Dipendra Manocha <[email protected]> wrote: > Important is the task.
