How do you refresh NVDA’s interpretation of a webpage without refreshing the entire webpage? (self.Blind)
submitted by TheBlindBookLover
Hi. I mainly use JAWS for most of my computer use, but I need to use NVDA for my statistics course since it works better with the website StatCrunch compared to JAWS. I am using MyStatLab by Pearson. There are multiple sections within a single question that are not revealed until you answer the preceding section. JAWS can usually recognize the new edition of the additional sections. When JAWS doesn’t recognize the new sections of the question, I do insert+escape, and JAWS will refresh its interpretation of the webpage without refreshing the webpage itself. Is there a similar keystroke for NVDA? I am currently switching between JAWS and NVDA as I do each question for my Statistics course. Thank you to anyone who responds.

I believe nvda-f5 will do what you're looking for. This should make NVDA re-interpret the page. Restarting NVDA would work as well, I imagine, but I find nvda-f5 does the job.

No problem. I'm glad it worked. You never know with some of the crazy things websites do these days.

I usually restart NVDA in this case.

Or NVDA+f5 is Mehgcap said :)
