Ok, but who is using rc 14.4? anyone who is using this version should have updated a while ago. Considering the fact that this is an rc version. It causes no problem for 14.4 it causes no problem for master or next branches of 15.1. there for if that is the only problem I conclude that it is safe to use. I personaly am using it here with no problems relating to security, or incorrect performance of normal NVDA functionality. There are problems with this add in when you have more then one conversation in the lingual window view. When you press alt+1 threw 0 it will read the first comversation wether or not it is the one that has focus. Other then that so far this thing is working good. Another reason why NVDA is becoming my screen reader of choice and I am vairing away from jaws. Skype support with the skype scripts from doug was one of the few reasons I still use jaws and this reason is now gone. My own gold wave scripts for jaws is another reason I still use it because the nvda add on for gold wave does not give you the user the same power. Outlook support is better with jaws but with 15.1 that is less true. The problems NVDA still has with this program are things I can live with. I probably will not be a jaws user for much longer. Yeh!

Ok. I heard from one of the nvda devs. Apparently the code in the add on was preventing NVDA RC 14 .4 from shutting down properly. That might be a good thing if the author decides to fix it. Just decided I'd let you all know. Take care. > On Jan 12, 2015, at 6:49 AM, Shawn Klein via Skypeenglish <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hmm, I'd want to hear more details than that before I went freaking > out, I just had a look at the source code, and I don't really know > what I'm looking at, but I didn't find any definitions for NVDA+Q like > there were for all the listed commands.
