Ok so does anyone know why with #NVDA I cannot send an email in #Outlook? I hit reply, type the email, and cannot exit the edit area and find the send button. Latest release builds of Windows 11 pro, and Nvda 225. @main @mastoblind @NVAccess

One of the benefits of eSpeak-NG is that it doesn't make assumptions like reading "CUP" is Cuban Pesos (hello US OneCore voices) - but the flip side is that eSpeak will read the year 1987 as "nineteen hundred eighty seven". If you'd like it to read that as "nineteen eighty seven" & learn a little #regex on the way, then @fastfinge has you covered with the "Correcting Years With NVDA and Espeak" blog post: stuff.interfree.ca/2025/08/28/…

Has anyone started a set of #NVDA dictionaries for the #blastbay#TTS voices yet? Now that the SAPI bugs in #NVDA are fixed, I'm trying them out for a while. Problems I'm noticing: number reading is...weird. And change pitch for capitals doesn't work. Also, a set of NVDA dictionaries will be really badly needed. It's not as bad as eloquence, but I've got five entries after just a few minutes use. But these on Windows and the Siri voices on IOS could maybe, finally, perhaps, get me off eloquence.

so here we are maybe a week and a half or so, and I have been using #NVDA 99 percent of the time, and I still have the station playlist studio addon disabled, and I still haven't seen any major system slowdowns or anything like that. I think we can safely say at this point that addon is what was causing my very randum slowdowns, and freezes. I can't believe I have been using NVDA this much lately. I will say that if it wasn't for a few things I would probibly convert to NVDA on a more perminate basus. there are a few things that keep me from doing that though, so while I will continue to use NVDA most of the time, there are just things that I will be keeping JFW on here for.

No problem - and you used hashtags which meant I easily saw it anyway since I follow #NVDA :)

To NVDA users: Is anyone else having a problem with the NVDA+D keystroke to read additional details on something. Specifically, I went and tried to read the long description on a table in Word and while the long desc was in the description field, the file was a .docx, I am using 2025.2 of NVDA, Word365, and nothing I have tried returns anything but "No Additional details." Just reaching out in case there is something I missed. Tagging the professionals too.

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!

NVIDIA posted 69% revenue growth to $44B, eyeing $45B next quarter. But sky-high expectations, chip export bans to China, and AI market uncertainty keep shares volatile despite 1300% gains in 5 years.

NVIDIA’s Stock Could Collapse Even With 70% Revenue Growth

NVIDIA's 70% revenue growth is impressive, but with high expectations and geopolitical risks, its stock is at risk of a sharp drop. Will the AI hype continue?

Featuring all the news on NVDA 2025.2, info on the upcoming NVDA 2025.3, a recap on restarting after updating (no we're not about to enforce that!) and a look into the namesake feature of Microsoft Windows... and just how complicated ARE the Windows+arrow key commands?

Following a discussion in the user group, which essentially revolved around "After updating to a new version of NVDA, it should FORCE you to restart the PC", I thought I'd just ask here: SHOULD NVDA force you to restart the PC after updating? (The argument being, that sometimes we see quirky behaviour after updating but before restarting. Currently we simply advise you to restart if you encounter something unexpected).

#NVDA #NVDAsr #Accessibility #Poll #Update #Updates #Question

  • Yes, NVDA should force you to restart after updati (14%, 12 votes)
  • No, don't make me restart after updating. (85%, 73 votes)
85 voters. Poll end: 1 week ago

We approve use of #NVDA every day of the week! We do firmly believe it is the best screen reader on the market ;)

(Yes, I know you meant Non-Violent Direct Action - we are much more used to it as the name of the "Non Visual Desktop Access" screen reader used by blind people around the world)

anyone familiar with VSCode and Jupyter notebooks on here?

we're switching to VSCode in our computer science class this year; my question is, how accessible are Jupyter notebooks to screen readers? are there any pitfalls we need to be aware of? what keyboard shortcuts do we need to know?

ok, I just disabled the station playlist studio addon for #NVDA, and restarted NVDA, so lets see what happens.
#nvda

looking at this #NVDA log trying to see if I can figure this out, one thing I am seeing a whole olot of is from the studio addon, and I am not even touching the stuff for studio. oh sure studio is running in the background as that is what is running my stations automation, but I am not seeing things for other addons, just the studio one. a lot of the lines look something like this.

DEBUG - external:appModules.splcommon.splbase.studioAPI (22:29:41.255) - MainThread (15036):

a few more #NVDA questions. Lets say I all of a sudden have the freezing issue I am talking about. do I stop what I am doing right away, and do the view log right away to see if something shows up at that time? If I do find what the NVDA devs are after, how do I send it to them? meaning where is the file I need to send to them, and what is the best method of getting the log to them? I assume there are some of you that have done this loads of times, so you might know the answers to these questions.
#nvda

nevermind, I just found it. now my #NVDA should be logging debugging. now should I restart NVDA to make it start doing it, or will the log file change right away to having the debug stuff?
#nvda

how to I change the logging levil of #NVDA to I the the devs said debug, so that I can try tracking down this randum freezing thing? I am trying to find it, and am not having much luck.

I must admit I was dismayed when I read about the price increases for #JAWS. I’ve been using it for nearly 20 years. I’m no expert, but I’ve got it set up the way I like it to do the things I need to do. I’ve still got a year left on my latest SMA, but at treble the price, can I justify taking out the new Home subscription. I suppose it works out at around £35 per month, and a screen reader is essential for me, but many folk won’t be able to afford that, especially as it’s only available through an annual payment.
Maybe it’s time to try #NVDA.

Remind me what the fiasco was with the built-in remote? While I use #NVDA, it's not my every dday use screen reader. I mainly use it for gaming ATM
#nvda

Looking at the #NVDA road map, it seems like they have two goals in mind for the future.

1: Fill the thing with AI and bloat (See the built-in remote fiasco. That was just the start.)
and
2: Collect more and more user data.

How about we not do that, please?

If you're keen to try the beta, but aren't sure how, download & run it just like any other copy of NVDA!

You can install it, but we recommend most users create a portable copy. Tips here: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-9…

Particularly test any highlighted features or those mentioned in the change log.

GitHub is the best place to report issues - steps here: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…

Or ask here or via email!

For those of you who use the #unspoken#NVDA addon, I pushed fixes to it for the latest version of NVDA. I also filed an issue documenting the current state of the addon, and why it's going to continue to suck well into the future, unless we can find a #Python developer who's comfortable with #HRTF and other audio techniques, or get Python bindings to steamaudio or something similar and modern. github.com/masonasons/Unspoken/issues/16
