hi, first of all thanks a lot for your uncountable support for the development of NVDA in all means, especially for Indian languages. in fact i can't imagine working on computer without NVDA be it is in English or in my mothertongue (Tamil), to such a level it has become an inseparable part of my academic life. for the development and the more usability of NVDA, i have following suggestions to offer. 1. while typing, i face the problem of not knowing line number in which i am there. for this, NVDA doesn't have any shortcut key as JAWS has (inset + delete). so, i kindly request you to look into this problem. however, i know the option of enabling the saying of line number in the documentation setting, but it says line no for every line, as and when i press arrow keys.
2. NVDA is lacking quick-key navigation, for instance, in the word document, while working with JAWS, if we give inset + Z key then if we press P, we can navigate paragraph by paragraph as we do in HTML file. 3. as it has already posted by Muruganandan from Pondicherry on the list, most of us face the problem of automatically closing the word document. it is more frequent especially while typing. pls sort out the problem with NVDA. 4. as it has been a wish and dream of hundreds of Tamil readers, NVDA has to be made accessible for reading Tamil pdf books. since quite a number of pdf books are available in Tamil, we are acutely in need of the option with NVDA for research and other purpose. thanks Boopathi mobile: 09985138783 On 1/3/15, Dinesh Kaushal <dkaus...@sapient.com> wrote: > Dear all > Wish you all a very happy new year. > > NVDA India team is contributing in development of a screen reader, NVDA. > The team has achieved some milestones and we will be contributing more. > > In order to plan for 2015 an beyond, we are seeking your input.
