I am wondering if it is possible with #NVDA to search for text in specific colours.

Let's say a co-worker sends you a document and tells you that they have formated some sentences in red and others marked with a yellow background.

How would I quickly find such sentences?

With #JAWS the skim reading feature comes to mind. But I don't know if there is a way to do the same thing with #NVDA.

#nvda #jaws

Tried the free edition of the #ZDSR#screenreader because I was curious. I will say that for my use-case, if #ZDSR was fully documented in English, it competes a lot more directly with #nvda than #jaws does, runs fine in a virtual machine, and has a bunch of stuff built in that I use NVDA addons for. If it had an English website I'd probably grab a copy for the entirely reasonable price. But I'm not willing to purchase through translation.

So, Leasey users, have you experienced this? I had just upgraded from 9 to 10, and press Leasey then H for the help screen. Since I was in file explorer, I got explorer based help. I wanted to get back to the main list, so tabbed to where I could do that. Then, I got this:

unknown script call to:
leaseyhotkeyhelpalternative

And it didn't work. I'll try restarting JAWS, but any other ideas? Will I need to reset my JAWS?

@Bruce @DavidGoldfield I have a memory of seeing pin-on buttons like you see in campaigns at the #ACB convention in 1988 festooned with Braille labels that said #JAWS on them. Job Access With Speech. Of course FS wasn’t around at the time, the company was Henter-Joyce, maybe? Anyway, I know this might be seen by some as annoying hairsplitting, but I think what is being celebrated is the 30th anniversary of JFW, JAWS for Windows. But, as I always say, my memory could very well not be as sharp as I think, and I do reserve the right to be wrong.

As much as I enjoy using #Thunderbird, this notice gets annoying after a while, especially because it interupts whatever my screen reader is saying, so I have to repeat the focused item to hear the subject line of an email, every single time. Does anyone have a way around this? #NVDA and #JAWS do the same thing.
#thunderbird #nvda #jaws

#Screenreader users: in a timed online exam, how would you expect to interact with something telling you the amount of time left?

I think having it regularly announce the time remaining is an obviously bad idea. If you know that it's labelled "Time remaining", would you just search for that text in the page when you want to check the time?

Using the December build of JAWS 2025 with Brave Version 1.73.105 Chromium: 131.0.6778.265 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Very often, after a page loads, it will refresh again in about 30 seconds. This doesn't seem to occur with NVDA, although I'm still having trouble obtaining data as it doesn't occur with JAWS consistently. I can likely work around the problem by setting page refresh to "off" in the JAWS options dialog but I just wanted to know if other users of Brave have noticed this.
Update: as I continue to experiment with this, I'm becoming convinced that this may well be a #JAWS issue, as I can't reproduce the problem using NVDA 2024.4.1.

Calling all #Blind #Windows users! 🖥️👥 I briefly tried #Beeper after seeing another blind person recommend it, but it didn't seem the most accessible with the #JAWS #ScreenReader. Do you use any all-in-one social media apps like Shift, Franz, Ferdium, or Beeper on Windows? I'd love to hear about your experiences with #accessibility and usability. Please share your thoughts! #AssistiveTech

Okay just, like right off the cuff here. But why does Vispero, a company making blindness software/hardware want videos for there Big Thing thing? Why not just text? Emails? Like, what? Why? Meh, whatever. I'll submit mine I guess. I'm sure some of you know what I'm gonna suggest. Feel free to submit your own ideas, goodness knows we need more grand ideas for screen readers.

That said, updating #JAWS is still a pain. It's ridiculous that the US has had such a cheap way of using JAWS at home for over half a decade now and the rest of the world pays stupid prices or has to buy at very specific times of the year which you only know about if you're quite involved in the community,
And I'm still sad that workplace adjustments are still hugely JAWS driven, when NVDA Addon development should really have made this much more of an open thing.
Hey ho, it's all about the choice I suppose and that's a good thing. Hopefully screen readers will keep enspiring each other to new things.

Very impressed with the new Split #Braille Feature in #JAWS. Being able to read Teams chat with half my display whilst typing someplace else is tremendous. They seem to have well thought out the different modes and views. Shame about the cells wasted with the split and lack of customisability of the viewport widths. If I won the lottery I'd throw a few hundred k at #NVDASR for comparable #BrailleDisplay development
