NVDA Portable 0.5 Development Test 1 [Testers Needed]

Good idea,

But I'm thinking you might want to wait till NVDA itself is more stable.

From the site
"NVDA is still very much in development. It may contain bugs and not be as stable as other commercial screen readers. However, even though it may not work correctly in every situation, people are reporting that NVDA works well for basic computing tasks, and definitly has the potential to grow in to something as usable as the commercial screen readers"

and it looks like the are moving toward 0.6 already

"Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:56 UTC by James Teh
We have just released NVDA 0.6p1. This is a preview release, meaning that there are still major issues to be fixed before the final 0.6 release."

I could see there being problems with your Development Test and confusion over whether the problem is related to your version or the original based on minor differences in the machines of the testers [sound cards, video cards, etc]

Perhaps waiting for a more stable release like 1.0 ?
Just my thought, don't want to discourage you
It could be a great learn experience.
It could also be very frustrating.

Good Luck

In app\appinfo folder in appinfo.ini you need to add in a few things.
such as

[Details]
Name=PNVDA Portable
Publisher=PortableApps.com
Homepage=PortableApps.com
Category={appcategory}
Description={description}
Change it to....

[Details]
Name=NVDA Portable
Publisher=PortableApps.com
Homepage=Portableapps.com/development
Category=Accessibility
Description=(Description from site goes here)

[Control]
Icons=1
Start=PNVDAPortable.exe

Also in your help.html file you need to change the title to PNVDA Portable, and change a few other things in there to match your program.

Oh yeah one more thing the folder that is extracted from the .paf installer is called NVDAPortable it should be "PNVDAPortable", to match the launcher.

Wow, this is great, a screen reader for the blind and vision impaired. Thanks for getting this done, I'll download it ASAP and if it works, I'll let you know! I'll also let you know if there is any problems, although since NVDA isn't a propper release yet and since it has many bugs and errors, I do realise it it not your fault at all. Thanks again for bringing out a great program!
