   Okay, there's gotta be a sollution for this somewhere! How do you keep NVDA from reading whatever it's focussed on on its own every 5 minutes? I thought unchecking the autofocus would do it, but nope! Thanks.

     @simon Really? That's great! Never could figure out quite how the other 2 worked, anyway.

     Nope, it's everywhere, even in iTunes.

     @Fragglemuppet Does this only happen in a particular app or a particular type of control? I don't usually have this problem. I also usually turn speech off when i'm not using it. You can remove the speech modes you don't use now, so it's just an on/off toggle instead of cycling through all the modes.

     @simon No, I don't usually. The longest thing I usually read with it is a long article. Very occasionally a book, but I don't remember.

     @Fragglemuppet Hmm. That makes me wonder if some other window is popping up just long enough to affect NVDA's focus. Do you ever read books or long webpages on the computer, and does it happen there too?

     @simon And of course it's not doing it now. I'm going to tell you "wait, no, looks like I fixed it after all, yay!" then 5 minutes later I'll be talking on the phone or trying to listen to an audiobook and it'll start mouthing off again, lol.

     @simon And I just hit control A on a whim and it turned out I had autoread on for notifications. Well now that's fixed! Thanks.

     @Fragglemuppet I'd say go into ctrl+nvda+v, shift+tab past the OK button, and you'll land on the modes selector. uncheck "Off" and "Beeps", so your only modes are "On" and "On-demand". Now if you press nvda+s, you'll change speech so it responds to keyboard commands like nvda+t and nvda+f12, but doesn't randomly talk unless you specifically request information.
