After pressing F5 or space key, NVDA doesn't read anything on the screen, unless if I use the arrow keys. NVDA would read the title of the slide, but not the body, unless once again if I use the arrow keys. |

I'm using Vocalizer synthesizer. I tried with Espeak and it too doesn't read the slideshow automatically. |
Comment 7 by steverep80 on 2015-04-26 19:11 My expectation is that, regardless of settings unless speech is off, that during slideshow mode NVDA should just do a "say all" of the slide as it is navigated to. However, I experience extra information being spoken first, in the form of "Slideshow - Slide # (Slide title)". Then NVDA will go on to a "say all". I should also say that I have a configuration profile triggered for "Say all". When the normal profile and the "say all" profile are configured to use the same speech synthesizer, the above problem occurs. If I change either profile to use a different synthesizer, then I get the expected result of just a "say all" in slideshow mode. I've tried this swap with several synthesizers, so I think the issue lies with NVDA. Hope that sheds some light on finding any bugs in slideshow mode. |

I don't consider reading the slide number a bug, just as reading the title of a web document before reading the document itself isn't a bug. However, it could probably be a bit less verbose. If that really matters to you, please file a separate ticket. I now seem to be able to reproduce the bug where say all does not occur. In addition, I can't use page up and page down to change slides. This works fine in NVDA 2015.1. |

My comment went on to say that having normal and say all configuration profiles with different synthesizers or voices set changes the behavior of what is spoken. That's not a verbosity preference; it's a bug. I should have replied a while ago but it seems I forgot to add myself to the CC list. I don't have time to test rc2, but will check to see if that issue still occurs in 2015.2. |

Yes, that is a bug. However, the behaviour you see without the profile is the intended behaviour. |

Hi,
Sorry if this has been ask already, but when I view a Powerpoint slideshow NVDA doesn't automatically read the content of the slide. Is there a setting to make this possible? Or this has not been implemented yet.
