"Access to a free, fast & efficient screen reader has changed my life. Because of its qualities, my computer never crashes; updates are frequent & the software works well. It follows best the evolution of Windows and all software. Updating is fast & easy, it is available in all languages. The provision of add-ons makes it really efficient” – Silvie, France

You can help continue to provide NVDA free to all! https://www.nvaccess.org/support-us/#donation-support

It’s been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described. It was an incredible opportunity to share with a wider audience the importance of NVDA & our overarching message, that everyone deserves equal access to technology.

You can still watch the Australian Story episode, with Audio Description, on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sAI&t=1s

Is it just me, or is the interface for searching in #thunderbird really clunky with #NVDAsr? Seems like it takes a lot of steps just to view the list of results. I find myself resorting to iOS mail if I need to track down a message from a few days ago. Is it better with a different #Screenreader? #accessibility #a11y #Jaws #JFW

@Leonard de Ruijter @bgtlover Until now this was most likely one of the last advantages running #jawsForWindows over #nvdasr I think. Congratulations on such an achievement.

I spent several hours over the last few days implementing WASAPI audio output for NVDA for some reason. As I suspected, I don't think it's really any more responsive, but I'm hoping it might eventually fix some tricky bugs with the old WinMM implementation, though it'll probably introduce a bunch of its own. Still quite some way to go before it's fully featured; e.g. it doesn't support any device other than the default yet, nor can it recover if a device disappears. #NVDASR
#nvdasr

Are you sure it's a #windows thing? #NVDASR has an option called Use screen layout within its browse mode settings section. Perhaps toggling it will help with the Windows 10 computer as well. It's on by default meaning the virtual document content is displayed the way it's arranged on the screen rather than wrapped at link boundaries.

So since this does not seem to be widely disseminated knowledge, the RH Voice speech synthesizer engine allows for training your own voice models by associating sets of sentences in a text file with their corresponding recordings as wav files. There is a tutorial about this on the project's Wiki at:
https://github.com/RHVoice/RHVoice/wiki/Creating-a-new-voice-for-RHVoice.
I haven't tried it myself yet so can't answer possible questions, others have though so it surely works.
Happy hacking, creating SAPI, NVDA, Android voices or whatever else you imagine! ##SpeechSynthesis #Accessibility #NVDASR #Blind

Special Saturday release of In-Process!

This week, we've got an update on our Casting Call, info on NVDA 2022.3.2 and 2022.4 Beta 3, the string freeze, a great testimonial from a user, and some info you never realised you needed on punctuation, alternative symbol names and how to change them. And why aren't we using the interrobang more?!

@Marco Old toot, but... there's now also MathCAT, which is open source and being written by Neil Soiffer (who implemented MathPlayer #a11y) to replace MathPlayer. There's an #NVDASR add-on already, and honestly, it's compact enough that I could see NVDA maybe just bundling it one day. The advantage over SRE is that it's written in Rust, so it's much smaller, probably faster and doesn't require a JS engine. https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/MathCAT.en.html

OK, when does #nvdasr get rid of that ol' MathPlayer already?
