Hi everyone, an exciting announcement today - we've released our first 64-bit alpha build, which ALSO includes on-device AI image captioning. For the full details and the caveats - please see this post in the NVDA user group: groups.google.com/a/nvaccess.o…

(Also, in response to a couple of questions:
- The keystroke for image captioning is NVDA+Windows+comma
- And yes, you can setup the new alpha as a portable copy rather than installing it).

If 64-bit has indeed hit the alpha channel, you will want to uninstall any NVDA you have on the machine. 32 and 64 install two different directories and different registry locations, and so you may have both on the machine at once if you don’t uninstall first. Your user config will persist.

That's really neat! I don't know what you're using for image descriptions, but 230MB feels small. For those with a lot of room to spare, could there be an option for a larger model? I guess communicating the increased system resources needed to make use of such a model could be a UX challenge.

Great, but NVDA+Windows+,? This is not a good choice IMO, and something better like SHIFT+NVDA+G could have been used. TTS engines don't announce the comma in NVDA+Windows+, either.

@amir I'm not sure why that keystroke was chosen, but even if it stays that way, you'll be able to change it - and yes apologies for writing the symbol rather than the word in the original email - hence was I explicitly wrote it in the post on here.

@morganlynn1992 Oh nice. Very exciting to see the progression of the 64 bit versions, and I am not worried. add-in's will get there eventually.

Hey there, just got my copy of the alpha.
For the time being, mostly all the non-Eloquence-based add-ons work for me.
Curious to see how much more responsive this NVDA is over time vs. legacy NVDA (X86 copy)...
