As it is now, my object navigator is on the word "Desktop" at the top of the Windows object hierarchy. When I reach either the "D" or the "p", I Do Not Want #NVDA to Say "left"/"Right" at all; Just play a predefined tone on either the left or the right speaker to confirm I'm indeed at the boundary of the word.

I've gotten the #AddOn #Template set up and was wondering how I can go about writing the code for this #ChatterKiller #NVDA #AddOn . I want to substitute messages like "no previous", "no next", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "no containing object", "no objects inside" with either tones or sounds in their place so that #NVDA either just says the line/word/character without saying the messages. For me, it would be a productivity boost in trimming out some extra speech that I would prefer to rather augment. Yet I've never coded a single #NVDA #AddOn before. I already know I need to import the 'speech' and 'tones' modules. from there, my brain is fried as to whether I can do this enhancement via my installed NVDA copy, a portable NVDA copy or a source-built NVDA copy (las one I've never used before). Looking for hand-holding along the way; For now I just want to eradicate the messages in quotes and replace them with tones to indicate where I am. Per the "left" and "right" message replacements, the tones will either be hard-left/hard-right panned like in the #SpeechHistoryExplorer #AddOn when you reach the first/last spokent message by #NVDA . Sorry I'm writing so long but I've gotta lay my thoughts as I go; Will be using #NotePad++ to write the #AddOn .

i keep spacing on the keystrokes needed to have #NVDA resource monitor add-on announce system uptime with braille extender add-on installed… think I have muted windows twice among several things instead. The command is 1347space+1345space+78space+3456+145.
This Global Accessibility Awareness Day we'd like to shout out to our translators! NVDA has been translated into over 55 languages to provide access to technology for blind and vision impaired people around the world. Recently we spoke with Harun in Türkiye, who shared how access, in his own language, has helped him: nvaccess.org/post/harun-fast-l…

Ok @main @mastoblind what do people use for their mastodon client on Windows with #NVDA? I have tried the web client but it's so so cluttered and there's no way to move through the feeds quickly. I'm on Dragonscave so I need something that will work with that.

I know we have a number of #NVDA users who work in accounting and related fields. I gather they use a range of software from Excel to specialised #accounting software. I know for instance, various parts of Xero are accessible - I'm not sure if 100% of it is completely accessible, though we definitely have people who use it - although with that and others, it may depend on exactly what you need to do. I've boosted for reach and will be interested to see what IS being used currently.
I have a somewhat urgent question for everyone involved/using the IBMTTS/Eloquence on #NVDA #NVDASR.
I'll be writing final exams in one month, on a clean computer provided by my school. They refuse to get the voice on there, as it is not legal, and my principal complained about internet requests the driver would make. Is there a way to get the eloquence voice in a different, legal way? Don't mind the price. Can you, for example, use the voice data from Jaws somehow? I'd really appreciate answers. Thanks

According to NVAccess, there are over 2,000 #NVDA open issues and if seeing one fixed is "particularly important" to me, they would "encourage hiring someone to work on it."
So how about it, #blind programmers? Your serious quotes for fixing this bug on a freelance basis:

On one hand, I'm glad that screen readers can do something with this new API out of the box. On the other, long-standing bugs exhibited by using live regions are still present with this new API, such as #NVDA not interrupting a normal-priority message when a high-priority one comes in. #accessibility

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!
Ok, @main @mastoblind so I have a quandary, I got a new PC, it works great, I have been using it ton with #NVDA and my #BrailleDisplay, and I have realized I have no clue what to do with a PC… I have Discord, Outlook, and Reddit open almost always, but that's all things I do on my phone as well.
While this is a small thing, I do agree. I acknowledge that most applications don't offer a launch or exit earcon and so having it may not be necessary. However, this has been a long-standing tradition since I began using #NVDA in the summer of 2009 and not having the start and exit sounds,, along with the musical signature when launching the installer, seems to be removing something which caused no harm and which has become part of the NVDA experience. Would you consider having it as a toggle where users who want it can enable it?
NVDA 2025.1 Beta 2 is now available for testing. As well as all the amazing updates in NVDA 2025.1 (from Beta 1), this new beta includes updates to some translations, as well as a minor bug fix for SAPI 5 voices using rate boost.

Interestingly, we don't. I think that while a couple of accounts like yours, post now & then on NVIDIA with NVDA as a hashtag, no-one who actually follows or searches for hashtags would ever look for NVDA for information on NVIDIA - and really that is the ENTIRE point of hashtags - and why I saw your post in the first place. We see dozens to hundreds of messages a week using #NVDA to talk about the screen reader - which is why I reached out, so we DON'T pollute each other's feeds.

If upon installing or updating an #NVDA add-on, it showed you a description of the changes in the most recent version in a dialog you had to close, how would you feel about it? Please boost for reach.
- I'd find it helpful (58%, 10 votes)
- I might find it helpful, but would want the option of turning it off for future updates (35%, 6 votes)
- I'd be annoyed by the interruption (5%, 1 vote)
- I wouldn't care either way (0%, 0 votes)
In other news, I made an #NVDA add-on to generate and copy a UUID to the clipboard when you press NVDA+Alt+U, because that's apparently something I find myself doing quite often:
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.

Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community! 👋
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance! 🙏 #Accessibility #NVDA #PDF #DigitalSignature #AssistiveTechnology @NVAccess
