HiCearbhall,
I am also getting a snappier performance with Microsoft Word. Interesting
impact on the eloquence synthesiser. I am not sure why that would have happened.

Ronan,
Prompted by your question, I have just turned on UI automation for Word and
for the Windows console because I use the Windows key a lot to find items on
my PC.
I noticed that Word and Excel are now much snappier. At first, Eloquence, my
voice of choice, was suddenly pronouncing "S's" with a shrill sibilance.
However, today, that sibilance is not present even though the UA settings are
still active.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Subject: [vicsireland] NVDA improved performance with Microsoft Office
Hi all,
I have been experimenting with one of the experimental features in NVDA
recently to improve the responsiveness of NVDA with Microsoft Word.
Under the Advanced Settings in NVDA you can turn on a feature to use UI
Automation to access Microsoft Word controls.
This definitely seems to speed up the responsiveness of Word/NVDA. I am using
Windows 10 with Office 365 with Word 2016 and NVDA 2019.3
One thing that I noticed is that some things are announced incorrectly for
example it says read only when in an editable Word document. This was so
annoying that I put an entry into the speech dictionary to ignore "Read
only". Otherwise, though, I see a big improvement in speed of usage. Just
wondering if anyone else has had a look at this UI Automation feature.
Best regards,
Ronan
