@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind One of the features in NVDA 2025.1 is “Added a general setting to prevent the display turning off during say all or reading with braille.” which should at least fix the display dropping out in some cases while reading long pieces of text - it won’t help if you leave the PC entirely for long enough that it goes to sleep though
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind is this a new issue for you though? I got the impression this just started happening?
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind I can’t readily see an issue similar to that - would you be able to write one up please?
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind By latest version of NVDA, do you mean 2024.4.2 - or the 2025.1 beta? Also which braille display are you using?
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind Lean on the strengths of each. Your phone is portable so it’s great for reading email on the go (or just in the other room / backyard / wherever)… but not so great for writing… Your computer on the other hand has a keyboard you can write all your replies on without constant swiping or trying to convince Siri to copy what you actually said not what it made up :)
