Ubuntu 17.04 installation with speech
by David Mehler 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hello, Has anything changed in the latest Ubuntu 17.04 that effects speech? I'm trying to get Ubuntu 17.04 64 bit going in a virtual machine workstation11 vm on my windows 10 host. Prior to this with 14.04 and 16.04 I waited until the drum prompt then did alt+super+s which got me speech. In 17.04 I do hear the drum prompt which I love by the way, and I do the alt+super+s and nothing no speech. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

by Eigeldinger Simon 11 Sep '17

Hi all, We have a bunch of USB Sticks from a advertisement action we did last year. Those USB Sticks contain a cd drive which contains a pdf which is a few mb. I wonder if that drive can be removed? anyone knows special tools for that? linux or windows. Or are those often made with a second chip that emulates the cd drive with the pdf on? Greetings and thanks, Simon

NVDA MSI package?
by Eigeldinger Simon 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Hi all, Anyone heard of a MSI package for NVDA? I also have a second idea also to distribute nvda. I plan to write a batch script that uses robocopy to distribute a portable install of nvda and drops a preconfigured desktop icon on the public desktop. i guess thats better than dropping the folder onto the computer using a gpo. pushing 100 mb across a network with workstations with a slow connection might not be fun while the user logs in. It also might be a good idea to drop a message to the NVDA devs that more and more seem to want to distribute NVDA over many computers which is easier done with something automated.

A script to enable sound and turn up the volume
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

I'm looking for a script that will check to see if the sound cards are muted then if they are, unmutes them. Then if the volume is below 10% increases the volume to something a little more reasonable such as 40% or 50%. Then I want to run the script again and set everything the way it was before I got there. Do any of you have such a thing? This might be really complicated or really easy. I haven't looked yet.

No. Looks like more big data for the big ones. I guess thats something we wouldn't install here.
