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!
After encouraging you to catch up on last week's blog post... I completely forgot to attach the link (which I had copied to include)! Here it is: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…
(#NVDA has commands for jumping between text paragraph, but it doesn't have a command to prompt me to include the link I copied before I post - something for a future update!)

Did you catch the #Blog last week? We had an article on the new (to NVDA 2024.2) command to jump between text paragraphs. We had some great feedback and gave the article a good update, so do check it out if you haven't already, be sure to try the feature, and let us know how you find it!
Being #OpenSource has many advantages. For #NVDA has opened the way for community contributions, and has enabled #transparency, #security and #innovation beyond what might have been possible in closed software. Increasingly, governments are also mandating the use of open source. Here is an article on such a step forward in Switzerland:
"Switzerland Makes Open Source Software Mandatory For Public Sector"
Derek attributes his experience with NVDA instrumental to his career success and since working at Google has found numerous ways to improve accessibility, both internally and externally.
"A product built by the community, for the community, is better than one built by some company, simply because the community is in charge of what goes into it." - Derek Riemer
GitHub has released an insightful article to accompany the documentary shared earlier showcasing NVDA, OSARA, & REAPER. The article interviews NVDA co-founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh, as well as Derek Riemer, who has used NVDA since 2011. Derek has contributed to NVDA itself & written over 20 add-ons. He also now works as a software engineer at Google.

and if you would like to test out Alpha builds of NVDA, head to: Please feel encouraged to run the latest snapshot from nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapsh….
If you do have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at info@nvaccess.org.
To allow NVDA to run, press tab to "Run anyway", and press enter to run the snapshot. This will help us get through this period until Windows considers our certificate "trusted":
1/3 NV Access is pleased to announce that we are using a new code signing certificate for our builds. This will give users additional peace of mind in the authenticity of NVDA builds.
In the interim, those running new Alpha / beta builds may see a warning from Microsoft that Windows Defender prevented an unrecognised program from running. It is important to be wary of unexpected warnings like this, however in this case, the warning is expected, as the certificate is new.
Highlights include Sound Split, numerous new keystrokes, new Braille mode & other features, updates to eSpeak, LibLouis & other dependencies & programs.
NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2024.2 of NVDA, the free screen reader for Microsoft Windows, is now available for download. We encourage all users to upgrade to this version. Highlig…

lolol me: "I should really at least pick up the basics of writing NVDA addons some day. I believe there was an addon dev guide somewhere" *googles NVDA Addon Guide*
First line on that page: "This page will be removed in 2021"
...oh! Wait...what year is it? Am I back in the pandemic? AW FORK! @NVAccess you might want to track down who posted this and actually get them to remove it, this looks a little sloppy :) #accessibility #nvda
Hey @NVAccess, do you happen to know how someone working at the US federal government might get permission to use #NVDA, or maybe have a user there who might be willing to share tips?
@waldoj is asking for a colleague. Reading between the lines, I don't think the colleague is doing accessibility work.
(I'm really hoping the secret includes paying for it.)

We often think of Philanthropy purely as donations by the rich, but it is something we can all do. Philanthropy is broader: "the desire to promote the welfare of others". How can you promote the welfare of others this week? Do you know anyone who might benefit from knowing about NVDA?
In June 2023, Mick & Jamie, NV Access founders, were honoured with the Philanthropy Innovation Award by Queensland Gives. Last night, we were invited back for the launch of Philanthropy week 2024. We are pleased to share this photo of James, Mick and David Oliver (CEO Speld QLD).
In-Process is out, with all the details on NVDA 2024.2 Beta 3, Mick and Gerald's interview on Eyes On Success, a big walkthrough of the new "Sound Split" feature (if you've ever wanted to have NVDA in one ear and your apps or VOIP in the other, you won't want to miss this!), and the New braille setting: “Display speech output”.
