I remember one day when JAWS was crashing in combined with Firefox and Flash. I switched to #NVDA, forgot to get back and realized it later and stayed with #NVDASR. One thing what amazed me that JAWS in those days was unable to report battery perncetage on my laptop, NVDA worked fine.
#nvdasr #nvda

The thing about JAWS vs NVDA is that it doesn't matter if @freedomscientific packs it with objectively better features. NVDA is free, easy to use (within the context of desktop screen readers), and it's good enough for the vast majority of screen reader users. Want to browse the web? Want to check your email? Need to type up an assignment? Need to track data with spreadsheets? Want to write some code? Want to run virtual machines? Just wanna keep up with your communities on Discord? Want to test your app for accessibility? NVDA can do all of those things. There is no faffing, no caveats, no running obscure commands, and no license to install. You download it. You install it. You run it. That's it. Want it to do more stuff? Open the addon store which is built into NVDA. If you know Python, you can write your own addons and share them with other users.
FS is relying on organizations like schools and governments where paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars is normal and expected and you can't just install an addon to an existing app. This does not work outside of those organizations. The blind kid who wants to listen to memes and keep up with their friends doesn't have several hundred dollars per year, but they probably know that they can go download a free screen reader that will let them listen to memes and keep up with their friends.
NVDA is winning because it's good enough for most people and costs nothing. If you do have the money to spare for a license and you want to use JAWS because you prefer it, that's fantastic! I'm glad you found a screen reader that you like. Most people will choose the free option because they just wanna listen to their favorite streamer while they type up their research paper.

I am trying to figure out why Facebook will not log in on Edge with #NVDA, the information is correct, works on Edge on my phone, even saved it there to have it auto fill, my best guess is uBlock.

Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

What could be the reason for #NVDA #NVDASR not running on UAC screens on my work Laptop even though I've copied the settings (including add ons, etc) to use on secure screens through the settings with administrator permissions?
Note: I don't have the administrator permissions when the UAC screen pops up, but NVDA should still start regardless. Also, on the login screen it works, it's really just the UAC (User account control) dialog, where its gone.

I've been using IndentNav for a while to write Python. Recently I installed BrowserNav and now get way more positional info about HTML elements. It took some getting used to, but now the beeps and tones help me get an idea of the physical layout of a site or electron interface.
It's similar to IndentNav, but it has more rules and works with web browsers instead of being focused on code in a text editor. Positioning is one of the pieces of information that I forgot how much I miss from my sighted days. It's especially helpful with API reference docs that rely on positional encoding. Since there's more info in the browser, I only have beeps instead of precise indentation levels to get a general idea of the structure

To #blind people with experience with #PowerPoint, I need help! My school wants me to create a #presentation with speaker notes and graphics, and I'm having extreme trouble even getting started. My info text box with my name, school, and date covers everything up, and I can't figure out moving it or how to get to speaker notes. I normally create assignments with #LaTeX, but I kept running into issues making a presentation that way. I'm on #Windows using #NVDA. Disability services made this sound doable and even easy, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

Edit: This is now released. Say all works, though the audio becomes choppy sometimes. But it doesn't crash.
Right! I now have a copy of Eloquence that works on the 64-bit alphas of #NVDA, with the following issues: say all on the web doesn't work (it stops whenever the type of element changes for reasons I don't understand), and dialect switching doesn't work (but it doesn't crash everything anymore). If you want to play, you need to follow the build instructions; I only understand about a quarter of this code and have no intention of actually releasing things that are still broken: github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/

grrrrrrrrr! so I installed the station playlist studio addon for #NVDA, and it isn't as bad as it was, but the whole system hult things are happening again! I know I can't be the only one that is seeing this, but here it is, and nothing happened with the last time, when I tried to show people what was going on. maybe I should just get rid of the addon again.

NVDA 2025.3.1 Release Candidate is now available for testing.

This is a patch release to fix a security issue & a bug.

- Fixed a vulnerability which could prevent access to secure screens via Remote Access.

- Remote Access now returns control to the local computer if it locks while controlling the remote computer.

Well I have done it. as of November 4, or 5 my JFW will no longer work. it is still on the laptop, but I will get that removed as soon as I am done reading the fan fic I am reading. So basically, I am now on #NVDA for the fore seeable future. there is a reactivate button, if I choose to do this before the fifth. the fifth of next month is when I would be charged for it, so there you go. If something doesn't work with NVDA, I just won't use it I guess.

Well I have done it! I am now taking a personal #NVDA challenge. I have just uninstalled #JFW from my computer. I am going to see if between now and November 4th I can make it without using JFW at all. I already know of one area that I am going to have troubles, so if anyone who knows how to write things for NVDA wants to try to help, this is your chance. If someone could write an addon for NVDA that will allow someone to go to a web site, and save it as a favorite into a folder on there computer like #Leasie for JFW can do that would be greatly appreciated.

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).

NVDA 64-bit with on-device image description alpha build now available

A little hint for those who may not know. On this pc, since it's the company pc and I can't install things here, I run NVDA as a portable version. Therefore, if you ever want to install an NVDA addon that you downloaded from an external source such as Sonata voices or RHVoices, Windows does not automatically guess it's an NVDA addon, it asks with which program you want to open the NVDA addon...in that case, use: Install from external source within the #NVDA addon store installed addons tab. You'll then be presented with an open file/browse dialog, after which you can select wherever you put the Sonata voices or RHVoices addon, and it'll install as it should. After you've installed stuff from external sources, just tab to the close button and NVDA will come up with the normal dialog, Addons were installed/removed...you must restart NVDA for the changes to take effect...just press enter and it'll do it's thing, now you can use the addon/s you have installed.

How can I get #NVDA to stop brailling the speech it puts out? It somehow got turned on on one of my computers, and I have no idea how to turn it back off. Example, if NVDA says blank for a blank line, the braille display actually prints the word blank, and not just a blank space.
#nvda

So I've been working on a little thing. It's an add-on for #NVDA. It's a mastodon archiver. The idea is to press NVDA+M to start archiving. so if you're on someone's profile on your web browser, using this add-on would work. Everything will be saved in the app data/roaming folder. Inside the folder, there will be a folder called mastodon archiver. Inside that will be the folder of users. All their posts will be written in text format, and there will be a folder for media, which includes images, video and audio. Here's the only problem. I made the Python file needed, and the add-on.ini file. I put all this code in the folder. Then I zipped it, and instead of being a zipped file, it's an .NVDA add-on file. Problem is, instead of installing it, it says it fails to open the add-on package. Not sure what I'm doing different here. Yes I'm still learning it. Oh yeah, one more thing. It will announce when it's starting, and when it has stopped the archival process.

Nvidia: AI’s Powerhouse, But Is It Too Late to Buy?

Nvidia dominates the AI GPU market with 90%+ share, fueling record revenue growth and becoming Wall Street’s AI darling. With data center demand exploding, long-term growth looks massive but sky-high valuation and rising competition make it a high-risk, high-reward bet.
