Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents please let me know if it works. I have the same problem with long documents. I am reading legal congress reports and they tend to be 40 pages. I also have this when moving from paragraph to paragraph and the length of the actual paragraph is about half a page. It just started one week ago.

Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents Hi @afrim, most of the information you mention can be gotten by pressing the status line command (NVDA+SHIFT+END).As for overall support of Word, I agree 100%. I'd love to see something like JAWS' document proof option where it can detect extra spaces and all that. NVDA behavior in the options dialog is sluggish at best, unreliable in worst-cases.Their philosophy is open-source first and I have a feeling this is why Word hasn't gotten the type of attention FS gives it. They should realize though that this is harming those of us in professional settings.I'm glad you had the option to switch to JAWS for these types of enterprise-level applications. I've always maintained that when it comes to business-grade software, JAWS far, far out-performs NVDA and it's why now with their home license I'm considering switching.

Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents You can disable "pages" in NVDA menu / preferences / settings / document formating settings. Then, change in MS Word the view to web layout or to draft or plain. You will notice that MS word gets much faster.Please make also sure that you disabled all add-ins in MS Word. You can find all add-ins by opening the file ribbon, going to "options" and then to add-ins or in security center.

Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents This is a hot topic on the NVDA GitHub. People suggest turning off page number tracking. I had the same issue as you when I was writing a technical paper for work. I had many cross-references and all that; the document was only about 20 pages long but still NVDA performed horribly. I turned off page number tracking in NVDA and it solved it.The bad thing is that this is not a solution, only a work-around. NVDA's codebase needs to be optimized to handle large documents better. I have a feeling they're just brute-forcing it for now, but obviously there needs to be some serious optimization done to NVDA.I agree with afrim and JAWS having better support for Office. Indeed, it's one of the reasons I miss JAWS (the only reason, in fact.)

Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents Could you try a demo of JAWS and see how it performs with that document? JAWS has a better support for Word.

Re: NVDA slow in long documents Unfortunately the formatting of MS word is exactly why I use it, so just switching to notepad would defeat the purpose.As for telling the NVDA devs about it, I read about this issue on one of their forums, so i am sure they are aware of it.Thanks for the suggestions though.

Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents Hello,one thing you could try is taking your notes in a text editor. For example take notes in Notepad or something. If you don't need to publish or share your notes with anyone, you would be able to take notes without having to deal with the slowness of MS.I know this doesn't fix the problem, but it might allow you to still get work done. You could also let the NVDA guys know about your problem. Maybe they can look in to it.

Re: NVDA slow in long documents
Re: NVDA slow in long documents It's a little difficult to determine the causes of this behaviour.Firstly, when did you encounter the problem for the first time? Considering the description of your computer and also its specifications, there seems no reason why the behaviour of NVDA should be so problematic. I have a computer with a slower processor and NVDA+Word seem to get along well even with long documents.Secondly, does the problem occur only with a particular document or with all documents you work with? Sometimes, the structure of the document may cause lag on the screen reader and Word itself.Thirdly, have you tried reading the document with another screen reader other than NVDA?
