So what screen reader do you guys use? I assumed it was a waste of time for people like me (migraine-related situational impairment), because Windows Narrator has been *awful* to use for me. It never seems to read alt text or what I want it to.

EDIT: Thank you so much for all the help! I never would have actually gotten recs on Twitter or bsky.

NVDA (free from nvaccess.org/ ), like other screen readers, probably reads more than you need out of the box, but it does have a "Speech on demand" mode (Press NVDA+s / insert+s) which only reads when you use a specific reading command (you can also set it to jump between only those modes. Happy to go into more detail and explore other settings which may benefit you via email if that helps? info@nvaccess.org
